Sorry this theory is far from the truth..

I don't mind if others ask me how old I'm.

But when they do I sure don't think that I need to get in a relationship.

Age has nothing to do whether I'm single or with someone..

It all has to do if there is a connection, not that they feel they are getting older and have to be with someone..

I would rather be by myself then just be with someone cause I'm getting older..

And honestly if you ask someone their age as soon as you meet them. Many will still take offense by that question right off the bat..

So your friend may feel that way but the majority of the women would laugh at that logic.

I was very surprised to hear about this trick told to me by a wonderful lady. We men are always told not to ask a lady her age but after talking to her, my logic got screwed. This is more of a physiological angled question and makes a woman think about different things.

So this is how she explained me. When u ask this question to a lady nearing or above 30, she starts thinking that she is getting older and is alone which no one likes. She imagines time going faster and future starts flashing in front of her. At that point she wants a real relationship and that would increase any man`s chance to get into a relationship with her. So if the guy is decent and polite then he has 99% chances to get romantically involved with her.

I was amazed with her reasoning and I may be trying this out myself on my next date.

Interesting...so one lady says yes and one lady says no..lets see what others have to say

I've never asked and won't ,guess I'm old school

considered bringing a Steel-Helmet and Body-Armor along on your next Date?
according to Knigge,it's an absolute No-no!

Nah. You just have a sense of self-preservation.

Actually I did not say that is bothered me for I don't care if someone ask me how old I'm.. I'm happy with my age and where I'm in life..

But it is not something you ask someone right off the bat... Many would take offense that guys actually think just because a women is getting older that gives him a 99% chance of a relationship.. That is far from the truth.....

That theory makes it sound as if women are desperate to be in a relationship after a certain age..

I think it is a flawed premise.
What if it would work out that way with a woman. The basis of a relationship and mutual attraction etc. can't and shouldn't be based on someone's subconscious fear of missing the boat.
You'd want to base a relationship on other things, the desire to want to be together, not on fear.

So even it if would work, you could end up with the wrong partner. I assume you'd prefer a partner that chooses you for you, who you are and what you stand for, as opposed to out of fear of remaining alone.

That, of course, goes for you too --> Why would you want to trick a woman into a relationship if not for fear of not finding someone?
You should also want to find someone that you love and want to be with.

There simply are no shortcuts to a happy ending and a healthy relationship.

I've never asked and won't ,guess I'm old school

I have people come up to me in grocery store and ask me my age..

doesn't bother me a bit

Not sure how many women know about it and i wont give her the explanation for asking that question (Come on). It is just a theory which according to her works 99% time. No harm to try it right

Well it works on dates or romantic meeting only so has anyone asked u that on a date?

yep..usually on phone while we visit and get to know each other before we meet for a date
