I’ve never really needed to! I’ve kept my age “confidential” many times however. This prompt should bring about some very interesting stories.
Ha ha. in Bangladesh, each and every student lies about their age on their very first school certificate exam. Don’t believe it? Ask anyone who know about education and lifestyle in Bangladesh.
I’ve been writing for post a week. Today, with a new blog, I’ve started another journey for post a day. Everybody wish me all the best.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, Lied about my age… That would be a Big Fat Nope!
Still look good so I am told, so why mess with perfection! lol….and I don’t have to remember another thing too. After all we are getting older….(pun)
FREQUENTLY – who hasn’t? Look forward to reading some posts on this one!
yes, and, as a result… I. Had. the time of my life…

Interesting Post..
Still making it eh Rajiv! I think I’ve spotted you on here everyday, without fail! On, on….
No, I’ve never lied about my age for two reasons, firstly I usually get it wrong because I genuinely can’t remember and second because most people seem to think I’m younger than I really am.
I will post a larger picture of myself when I write this blog shortly and you can all have a guess.
Nope. Always told the truth. Sixty next month. And nope, nobody ever believes. it.
I have no choice but to lie about my age everyday. I am 45, mentally, but have to act all modest and report myself in the more mundane chronological form: 22. Damn conventions!
Olá já respondi, nunca menti a minha idade, tenho 69 anos o que é demais não!!!!!
Abraços Mina!!
Right…

no
No I have never lied about my age. When I actually said my age they think I am lying because I look younger than I am. My son has though and gotten by with it.

erm.. I think.. I never lie yet.
Here’s my answer: http://bluedrew.wordpress.com/2011/02/12/post-a-day-prompt-have-you-ever-lied-about-your-age/
Do we really need to? http://ittakes10k.wordpress.com/2011/02/13/1-95-of-10000-truth
Hi people,
I’ve finally got my post up on this topic along with a picture taken yesterday afternoon (Saturday 12th Feb. 2011)
I have “The Monday Picture” to pull together for tomorrow (iPhone app – free) to get ready so off to do that. Have a great day.
When I first moved to New York for my Master’s degree I lied to my classmates and said I was 21. I was only a few months away and I was already by far the youngest in the program- my friends were 25-36. I just didn’t want to be considered too young or too uncool to hang out with the witty and wonderful women of New York.
And soon I was witty and wonderful myself =)
I ever once… Have You Ever Lied About Your Age?
of course… especially when I was under the legal age of drinking going to pubs…

I missed out the boring years, ie 26, 31, 41 and now I’m 61, but so far haven’t had to tell anyone. Might say 62 or 60 something.
Over my life – I have usually added on a year. It’s a family thing. I look years younger than I am, so don’t need to lie in the conventional way.
But – sometimes I don’t feel: I have to be exact (like Adrian Mole aged 13 and a half) or to be truthful. Not sure why? It’s often an impertinent question, perhaps!
I might have said that I was 12 when I was actually 3 or 4. No one believed me.
Funny, this age business. For a child, it’s a huge difference between being 4 and 4-1/2. Have you ever heard a senior say that he or she is 78-1/2?

Have you ever lied about your age? Why?
http://mynewcorner.wordpress.com/2011/02/15/have-you-ever-lied-about-your-age-why/
I have never lied about my age, but people didn’t use to believe me, discover in my post why they didn’t
Yes I have done it a couple of times, but mainly due people tend to think I am about 4 o 5 years younger, so….I just did not clarify anything, no need indeed
Nope, most people think I’m lying about my age anyway. I’m going to be thirty next month, meaning I 29 now. Most people think I’m 18 or younger, until I start speaking. Then I get funny looks. My grandparents and father have the same issues. It’s rather amusing when we go places together.

I really don’t have to lie about my age as it wouldn’t prove anything. I look remarkable younger than I am. When I was younger it was a problem as I was always asked for idi at bars etc. My boyfriend at the time was under twenty one and wasn’t asked. I didn’t think it was fair. Now I almost have to prove that I am a senior. If they think I am younger than I am I just take it as a complement.
It really isn’t good to lie about things as it can always come back to bit you in the but. We always try to impress on the kids not to lie so we need to set them a good example. Everyone tells little white lies from time from time but I am not sure that it is a good idea. Honesty is the best thing if you can. You just have to make sure you are not hurting other people or yourself in the bargin.
no .. I never did .. and I think I will never do….
No, I don’t lie about my age. I have found that when people do that, it bites them at some point. Why lie when you’ll be forced to lie more later to support your first lie. Too much work for very little gain! I say we should all revel at whatever age we are and in whatever stage we are in our lives. Each year brings its own mystery and excitement.
