Re: Age you appear to be vs. Age that you are
It's a definite peeve to find out someone has been misleading people about their age. Most people,if they take decent care of themselves, look pretty good, and that's all that matters. But I don't like being misled right off the bat. It is about openness, and age shouldn't matter; lying does matter. It suggests being uncomfortable with yourself.
And as an aside, I've yet to meet anyone who tells another person they look their age....it's a social norm to be sure never to insult a woman on her age...it's not a compliment, it's a nicety.
