I rather don't tell my age than lie about it, cos of the level of contempt I have towards lies.Those of u claiming to had dumped ur exes due to some age gap inbetween u both,I must say it was'nt jst a good enough reason to do dat.

The funny or sad part is when people still lie about the deceased age on obituary poster

Generally most nigerians lie or are not comfortable saying their age. 90% of the adult birthday party I ve attended, I don't know what they are celebrating sef... When it get to part for the celebrant to respond to the song is now "am +1 years today..". Really pathetic

There're different reasons why people add to or reduce their age, it all depends on the situation at hand. There're some peole that will change their attitude towards you if they know your real age and they'll use it to react to you, let me use my self as an example when i was in college of education i found it difficult to tell people my real age(especially ladies) because the way they see me it was like we're age mate but in the real sense we're nt, majority of them even respect me beyond my imagination so whenever the issue of age comes in i always keep mute to so as not to lose the respect they have for me(cos i bliv if they know my real age they'll be suprise).

Atimes I think age just ruins somethings, okay it's good been truthful and all. There's this chick I like smiley, and she's older than me but she doesn't even know, and I'm pretty sure if the age thing comes in, she might be having misgivings if at all I'm ready for her. So basically I think it's vital that we're truthful with others and particularly ourselves.

Yeah especially in this part of this world, the younger ones in age tend to get little less respect smiley so when the age thing comes up, I just become passive.

Some women lie about their age and want to look as young as possible because most men want to date younger women, and if they say their age, and don't take care of themselves the man is going to choose a younger model.

That's the reason most women lie about their age. http:///u6lrN

if you ask me, I will say your parents lack belief in you guys.
I mean you are just 19, and your sister is just 14 yet your ages are already being reduced.
I'm still trying to understand your sister's age reduction. Very very puzzling for a 14 year old.
Re: What's So Special About Your Age That You Hide It? by beeevan: 6:47am On Nov 23, 2014
I hide my age to avoid disrespect by the elderly ones in the office or anywhere else. i remember the day they made an announcement in the office for staff between the ages of 0-29 to get immunized, no one stood up as most are obviously past that age, i had to sit put.


If am dealing with younger peeps, i maintain my age, with older ones, i upgrade by adding 5yrs extra, they don't believe it but I stick to my upgrade nevertheless.

its not forging its the original copy written nd signed by the MATRON of d hospital were i was given birth to....they know that it'll will relevant in the future, not that they are not confident about us...both of my parents work in the force nd at certain point they will need it in thr work nd thr younger kids are eligible to many incentives.... Nd in so many cases especially employment nd money issues age really matters alot, thats why many people pad their age, but on the long-run you will always be on d look out to protect nd cover your lies...but in my own case i don't have to lie cos it in my birth cert...

She wanted to knw ma age without disclosing hers, was scared to mention ma real age cuz she might be ma senior and didn't wanted to lie abt it. Oneday she came to visit me, and she wanted to pee , so I opened her bag and saw her school data. Lol and behold she was 5yr older than me. Up till now my girl frnd can't tell why I kicked her out of ma life despite her much care and love..lol
