If Age Is Nothing But A Number, Why Do People Lie About It? - Page 3

Honestly I don't see how you can judge someone by the age of the person they love. To me it is just a number say you take online dating. Do you fall in love with the person or as some say the lie the person makes you believe or do you fall in love because they are supposable a certain age? I'll admit I've been with someone that was old enough to be my father and someone that was twice my age but I was not with them because of their age but because of what they were like. You know the most important things. Some people lie about their age because they don't want to seem old to some other person or if they think their age will affect if someone talks to them or not either it be they are to old or to young. What I don't get is why when your under the age of 18 your not allowed to date someone older but once you turn 18 it doesn't matter how old the person is. Why is that? Either way the people are still going to have the same age difference and either way they will still be together even if they have to keep it a secret.

Well they feel like they are getting old and havent really lived ther life and to makeup for some time they say they are a certain age to make themselfs feel better thats the main reason.

Because some people are ashamed of their ages. But sometimes when a 19 year old goes out with a 50 year old they usually thing the 19 year old is only doing it for money

If age WAS nothing but a number why do someone go "eww that's disgusting, or that's insane" when a ninteen year old girl and a fifty-something year old man are together? Can love really conquer age?
So.... is age really nothing but a number?
And why?

the age is a number that determines how young and healthy you are as an overall and thus from this point of view people care about it because it determines the "kind" of person they're dealing with in the various life issues ... and it's not just a number it's what you are ...

nicely summed!

i have no idea lol cause i monly 15. but maybe they feel like they cant be the best they used to be. you know how your grandparents are always talking about how they used to be on the football team and how they were the best on the this or the most popular in the that... or something like that. I guess they just don't want to be reminded that their youth days are over and pretty soon it's gonna be walkin on 3 legs and eating porrige lol

Yes it is just because some people frown upon or think is "gross" doesn't mean age really does matter...because if you want love to conquer all things it can even numbers aka age...so yea it can.

Because age isn't just a number.

Alot of sick people exist in the world, and they lie about thier age in order to con little children or even young adults into meeting them.

I thought that was pretty self-explanitory, though.

age is really just a number because it rly doesent make you anything its just like a lable showing how long you were on this planet
