Why People On This Forum Hide Their Age?

[Proud to be Pakistani]

Just wanted to know why people on this forum hide their age.

Is it to do with them thinking that if someone is young and is posting a reply or thread, people might think that the level of this mentality is restricted to his age?

Care to discuss freely....

As for me the Metal Approach and understanding can never be Judged by the Age. Age gives you Knowledge of some aspects of Life in which you are mostly involved but not in every aspect!

Developement of Mind is not restricted to Age!

I dont hide my age. I dont judge a post by the age of the poster but by its quality. I learn laods from people who are a lot younger than me and am proud of it. I dont think in general people on forums of this nature are ageist, but they do look for maturity and civility of post.

Nope I don't hide my age. There is no point in doing such things. People should keep in mind that what is the purpose of forums. If we keep that thing in mind, things become simple.

 

[Vinod2070]

Are you talking about displaying your age in your public profile?

Why should it matter? It is up to people what they want to share about themselves. It is an anonymous forum anyway.

Even if someone doesn't hide it, no one has a way of verifying the facts. In fact I believe many members understate their age.

Thought only women hid their age. Besides as Sh.Saadi said 700 years ago.

" Buzurgi ba aqal hast na ba saal"

Meaning wisdom is thru intelect and not by years. I will be 65 in October. So what?

I am 20 years old but I judge on the quality of a post and how well someone delivers their view even though mine may be different

 

[Tiki Tam Tam]

I am 62.

Thanks Neo.

When I get older, losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me
a Valentine Birthday greetings, bottle of wine
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty four
You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you
I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater
by the fireside
Sunday morning go for a ride
Doing the garden,
digging the weeds
Who could ask for more
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty four
Every summer we can rent a cottage
In the isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera Chuck and Dave
Send me a postcard drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely
what you mean to say
Yours sincerely wasting away
Give me an answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty four

Thank you Neo. I have also listened to the same song sung by Tahira's mother; Malika Pukhraj. Believe me that was even better.

We used to have an old 33 vinyl record of that song because Malika Pukhraj was my late father's favourite singer.
