Maybe I am alone on this issue but time and time again I see so many new people posting that for one reason or another choose to not disclose their age on their profile. (location often helps as well but that is another topic)
It often can make a difference how others reply.
I in no way want to "judge" someone based on age but let's be honest...
years on the planet does usually affect experience and can effect the response.
Every age has advantages and disadvantages "generally" speaking and the only reason that I am bringing the topic up for discussion is that I think it might often (not always) help us all be more able to understand and communicate.
Just a suggestion. :)

that's a good point. i'd never thought of that. i updated my profile so now everyone will know i'm 25. i also found an avatar from one of my favorite ballets! ;D

I will be celebrating my 65th birthday in July, my organs however will be celebrating their 70th on the same day... ;).

we all know Wumpy is 57? or was it 38? 60?...
heck, let's just average them out. ;)

If we could just find the stone tablet with his birth record carved into it the mystery would be solved .

Just look at my profile, it says 45. But you people always think I'm lying about my age. Yes, 'tis true I am so beautiful young and vibrant, it's easy to see why yall think I'm only 30. ;)
:-*
Cute pic Mitchellz. I bet you were a hottie back when you were young....say in the 1950's.
Also, is that a Tea bag hanging from your "hat", or is it a condom?

Willy ... your such a good sport about taking the considerable teasing that come your way . You are the poster boy for gracious behavior . I guess that kind of patience comes with being old as dirt . Sorry couldn't say too many nice things all at once .

Tex, at least the "87" gave us a clue. :)
Many people will not put their age in their profile but will often mention it in early posts.
It is just hard to remember.
I guess privacy is an issue for some as well.
Each to his/her own, but I think posting your age is beneficial.
I will be celebrating my 65th birthday in July, my organs however will be celebrating their 70th on the same day... ;).

LOL! I am almost 54 but my whole body feels like 70 at times.
Happy belated 69th birthday to your organs. ;DA lady never reveals her true age

Ha! Your profile also stated that your birthday was in December until you "changed your mind".
And um... thank you for the hottie comment.
I was a hottie in the 50's.
Born in 1959 and a hottie from birth. ;)
My "outfit" in the pic was Halloween merchandise for our store that I was modeling.
(price tags still attatched like Mini Pearl)
I only hope Vogue doesn't start bugging me now that I posted it on the interweb. ::)Finally! Something great to masturbate to.
hope you had fun! ;) ;) ;D

My age of 27 is in my profile. Man, I can't believe I am approaching 30. Wow.
I often imagine what members look like, since most don't post pics of themselves.
-
i am not to sure, i think i am about 42, but that could just be my i.Q :P
i stopped counting at about 28 ish.

as far as myself, I was in the hospital on my 36th and 38th bdays with the doctors telling me I was about to die. I should have gone into the hospital on my 40th bday; but I was prepared to die at home if that was what was going to happen. Instead I'm about to celebrate turning 51 (in less than 2 wks), and of that I'm really, really happy :)
-
LOL!
i think Ted was just playing with us and was waiting to see who would call him out on his age. ;D
Mikie, for some reason, i didn't think it would be you. tee hee. :)
-
Mikie, for some reason, i didn't think it would be you. tee hee. :)
but i fessed up to being "old" :P
although I'm happy happy happy to not be dead (you know all that being in the hospital on my bday crap), I am going to be OVER fifty now!! :o and saying it like that does sorta suck.
so I could be brutally honest (and bust Teddy) or I could just lie too ;D and say that I'm lucky I'll only be 28 this year. (let me go change my profile fast ;) LOL) (OMG :o I just realized that 1985, when I would have to have been born to only be 28, is the very year I was infected with teh hiv!!)

i want to see your birth certificate. ::)
oops, forgot that was mentioned before...
(the stone tablet)

Ok Mitch,
While I wasn't the primary audience for your request it did move me to fill in my age and select an avatar while at it.
Also, I see that you are my elder, so I will have to ensure proper respect is paid.
JM

I think the fundamental issue is that your profile asks for your birth date. I'm someone who prefers to enter my age value instead of the system requiring my b-date.

Not a good option. Because then you guys would 'forget' to update your age in the profile. Trust me, I see that happening on Grindr every day... ;D

Do you think that would work with everyone here? tee hee.I think the fundamental issue is that your profile asks for your birth date. I'm someone who prefers to enter my age value instead of the system requiring my b-date.
Westside,
Looks like you figured out a way to post your age without your DOB.
Now, you just have to remember to update it each year yourself.
(No excuse for skipping a year or two now.... ;).)
oops, just notice Dr. Strangelove pointed this out while i was typing.
-

Nobody can see your birth date in your profile. The only time anyone would have a clue is on your actual birthday, when a little birthday cake emoticon will appear next to your age. Someone would have to be determined to check your profile each and every day to discover your DOB.

But can't one look in the Calendar to find out ones birthday?
Oops, I just checked the calendar.
No more birthdays listed.
This must have recently been changed??

Jan how the heck was I to know that? LMAO. So clearly Willy could be a Jock, just not a jock.
Willy, in your wildest dreams. The only thing I love about you is how easy you are to pick on, like a little sister and the torment that you receive from others always is a delight! Now go get Jocked and quit pretending to be a jock! :D
-
Jan how the heck was I to know that? LMAO. So clearly Willy could be a Jock, just not a jock.
ds you are forgiven for not knowing.
Will could be a Jock, if he were named after William the 1st. King of Scotand and actually came from Scotland.
My geography isn't the best, but I'm pretty sure Texas is not in Scotland, if it is then Jen and I are heading in the wrong direction in July. ;D
