Telling Your Age At The Beginning Of A New Relationship: Hard Or Easy by Dorwadora(f): 11:18am On Apr 22, 2022
Why do some people find it hard to tell their real age at the early stage of a new relationship?.

Is it really a big deal to tell your real age?

Even during normal conversation, ask some people of their age and they'll either snub the question or tell you a wrong age.

Why?

Why not? As a guy it's not a big deal.
But ladies would rather die than not deduct at least 2years+ from their actual years especially if she's above 25. cool

Modified: Men do not need to lie about age in relationships, but when it comes to FOOTBALL AGE forgerrit; just like d 18 years old guy below. grin grin grin

As a Nigerian telling Age is not of the easiest things. We have age for different reasons. We have dating age, football age, work age, school age etc. I have few lady friends that have been celebrating 21years for few years now.

An evening newspaper lady should NEVER reveal her age! Only 18,19 yrs old girls can!

A Nigerian Tribune evening newspaper will rather die than reveal her new age. It's in their constitution.

Insecurity/Low self-esteem. undecided

Ask an American his age and he is likely to blurt it out without so much as a thought. As a Nigerian the same simple question, and you are likely to get an answer that leaves you wondering if you asked an offensive question. . undecided

Superiority and inferiority complex!

Nigerians usually want to seem older or younger at any time they feel like so they can use it to their advantage. They want people to keep respecting them so badly if they feel they're older but also don't want to lose the perks of being younger, so there goes.

It's our culture, you don't go about asking people their ages. It's perceived rude and intruding. Our culture is different from the western culture and if that aspect of our culture is preserved well, it's not a bad thing.

However in a relationship, it's kind of weird. If you are willing enough to let someone into your life you should be willing enough to share some information about you. Very simple.

All said! It is a known knowledge here that I'm 57 going on 58 years old. That isn't a secret. grin grin

I add on my age coz I like older men and I don't want them to not take me serious , they find out how old you are and want to talk to you in a wittle baby voice , and then they underestimate you and there goes your relationship , premature death
When he's attached I tell him my age and it's even cuter now
Also I have this thing about me , I like to baby people , my friends , my family , my dad , my aunts , my pets and my men , I like to baby everything , maybe it's a first born trait , that cannot work out if they have this idea that I'm still a baby myself

I don't care if you're 42 so far as you're okay with me then I'm your mate grin

My friend's mother asked me my age one time and I told her she's said that I'm very big and I don't look like my age and if anyone asks, I shouldn't tell them my real age.
Asked her why,she couldn't give me any reason.

when a wowan is persistent about knowing your age, she has sensed she might be older than you,it is now left for you to satisfy her curiosity or beat around the bush.......if it is glaring that a man is older than a lady, she won't be that obsessed to get the actual age of the man.
