Yay!

I say go mysterious.... ask them to tell you how old you are... and if they think you are younger then you can go "HA!! I am really 35!" or say.."yes, you got it spot on!" Put yourself in the driver seat!

Hey, I was just checking out your FM homepage. Which Maxster are you?
And why is John on the wrong side of the stage?

He thought I was lying when I said I was 35 and asked me repeatedly about it with a look of complete shock.

This is very flattering yet also makes 35 seem ancient. So I'm wondering, since I was at a bar and I don't take anyone seriously at a bar, should I just start lying about my age so I can avoid feeling like a frigging leper? The kid turned out to be 27. He's a very old 27 though since I thought he was at least 30. I probably won't bother lying but the idea seems appealing because I'd love to avoid that discomfort. It's just a little white lie, 27... 35, same thing right?

LMFAO you joined a kickball team!!! That is hilarious! I would love to do kickball. Seriously Suze that is such a funny image.

Tell Mick Jagger that

I say go mysterious.... ask them to tell you how old you are...

That could be dangerous. If they say older, I'd want to go kill myself

Suze, you have nothing to worry about. You're hot!

Dude, I love kickball! It's so fun! Even though I'm afraid of when the ball comes to me and I screw up. But I can run fast anyway. The best strategy for those of us who can't kick into the outfield is to bunt and then run like hell. I haven't quite mastered it yet since I only got up once. We have over 20 pp on our team! And it's not funny, I'm so cool on the kickball field. NOT

Thanks Theresa, you rock. No one would tell you that you look older than your age.

When I was in my teens & early 20's, everyone told me I looked older. A few years ago, it seemed to change & now people tell me they can't believe I'm in my 30's. Whatever. I really don't care. Suze - you look damn hot for ANY age, so if it were me I'd be damn proud to tell people I were 35. Let them think "holy ****, she's one hot bitch! At this rate she'll probably still be hot when she's 50!"

This is true.

Be proud of those years you have lived, experienced, weathered...whatever
Each and every year that you are still breathing counts. So IMO, don't lie.
Tell anyone that asks your age the truth.
First of all..you never have to wonder who you told what....
and for another, we woman always age gracefully...
(this coming from a 48 year old...and I can't believe that I am 48, but I am, and always are told I look in my thirties.) No one believes that I am as old as I am. But I am!
Look at Stevie she doesn't look 58, at all...she doesn't tell lies about her age and neither should you

Now.....weight, lovers, "do I look fat in these jeans"
number of jobs, experience and income?????
That is a whole other story

Hi HomerMcvie,

First question: Me: Stevie.

Second question: John on wrong side I suppose because we have an extra guitarist (rythym and b/v) and we want them on opposite side of the stage... so have had to sacrifice where John stands...(also I think our "John" feels more comfy on the side he is on.) I will have to mention it to the boys and see what they say...

I say be truthful about your age. Suppose you lied, the guy fell in love with you and then you had to fessup later on...that would suck and you would appear untrustworthy even with a little white one. Be honest and proud that you look younger than your age. You didn't say mention that he thought you were younger, but I will assume he did.

Oh god, if I fall in love in a bar then hell will also freeze over! You do not meet quality guys at bars. Although this is a little different because they are also my kickball team.

He thought I was no older than 28.

Note, I wrote if HE fell for you. I would imagine you are incredibly lovable even on a barstool.

You're so sweet. There are no guys falling for me at bars. They just want to get laid.

That'd be my fear - only because that's happened to me

When I was 16 I picked up this woman at a football game (I was just smoother in my younger days) and told her I was 18 ---she was 21. Then we started dating and I felt AWFUL. We never mentioned the age thing again -then my birthday comes around and she asks, "how old are you going to be again?" And I fessed up....she probably knew anyway

Anyway - I'm generally not a fan of any sort of lying, even something at trite as age. BUT if it's someone you're just looking to have fun with - or may not really see again, then lie if you must...

If I'm in a bar, and a 21 yo axes me, I'm LYING!
