'fess up
Is there anyone who actually lies about his or her age? I don't lie about it. I might joke about it, but I don't have an issue with admitting that I am 31 and, even though I do joke about it, I don't even really care.
There is one blogger here who I know is sensitive about his or her age and who I would suspect of lying about his or her age to people who do not know him or her.

My husband and I switched ages for a few years...he is two years younger than me chronologically but ages older than me otherwise (he is much more serious and by the book than I am).
I guess I prefer to not talk about my age much but I probably wouldn't outright lie about it if I was asked...
I have no reason to lie about my age, and if I do, no one would believe me anyway since I still look 16.
Sometimes I joke about it though, and tell people I'm about 4yrs older, just to see if they'll buy it, but then I fess up.
I so know that you are talking about me! I lie about my age all the time - some days I am 30, some days 29, some 31. Rarely am I ever 36. Which is my real age.
I'm currently 29 and considering lying about my age when I have my next birthday. I still get carded, so maybe not...
I always wondered why people lied about their age. Then I turned 26 and for some reason I was ashamed of how OLD I suddenly was. Or maybe it was that I was ashamed of how I was acting at 26, or how little I had accomplished, or who the fuck knows. I think I'm better now. But I still don't feel my age.
I turned my favorite number last year, and it's going to be hard to give up.
My sister is two years older than me, though, so I have a couple years to freak out about the big ones before it's my turn. By then it doesn't seem like such a big deal.
I guess I don't think it really matters much, anyway.
I never lie about my age, but I certainly don't look 31.
I don't understand why people would lie. What's the big deal?
It's not so much that I'm old, it's that other people born in the same year just seem so much older than I am. Marriages? Mortgages? Minivans? I refuse to be in that age bracket.
That said, I prefer to be vague about my age rather than lie about it.
Since my husband is so much older than me (17 years) he actually used to up my age when we were first married. Now that I am in my late twenties (still weird to say that) we don't get so many nasty remarks. (And yes I know who you are!)
Most people don't believe me when I tell them I am 28 because I also still look like a teenager. Just a few months ago a convenient store clerk almost carded me when I tried to buy a lotto ticket of all things.
Since I've put on few more pounds lately it seems that the teenager phase is finally passing ...
