do you feel offended pag directly or indirectly sinasabing matanda na kayo?

[lyrahs]

hindi naman ako na-ooffend...ang nakaka-offend yung kasunod na sentence or tanong eh. Parang ganito, "29 ka na? E bakit wala ka pang asawa? Tumatanda ka na noh, hanap ka na"

[feelpretty]

^Ditto! Yun agad ang kasunod. Hindi na lang mag-comment sa achievements mo. 

Pero age is just a term for me. May pinagkatandaan naman kase ako. Although I don't dress up na pang-matanda na, meaning I follow fashion from time to time. I've also worn my hair short for more than a year now, syempre to look younger. But when asked, I really tell my real age (which is 30 by the way). No need to hide or anything.

[laviere]

hindi naman. i get more offended when people say, "28 ka na? eh mukha ka lang 18!" almost as if they weren't going to take me seriously because of how young i looked

[eian4fun]

sometimes i got pissed when they sound kinda offensive, i mean tinatawanan ang age ko, i'm 31 na kasi kaya minsan pabiro akong sumasagot na'' yes i'm 31 and you're 25 but i look waaay younger than you''

I usually don't get offended kung sasabihan akong tita, ate or mommy if nasa elem or hs yung nagsasalita. Pero naman one time sa shop namin, may mukhang nasa mid 30's na lalaki, tinawag ba naman akong nanay??? Over naman, manong tumingin muna sa salamin . I'm 36yrs old btw...

[marssie]

nope.. or maybe, not yet.. 

[harlet]

hindi ako nagagalit kasi marami namng nagsasabi na hidi ako mukhang me edad na ganun.....so flalttered pa nga ....at saka naman kanya kanya lang panahon yan, nagkataon lang na nauna tayong ipinanganak.....

[sugardrop]

Hindi. Tatanda din sila, it's part of life. Yung ibang bata nga, nagmamadali tumanda eh. Iniisip ko na lang, "Pag tumanda ka, sasabihan ka din ng matanda ka na".

[artegirl]

I don't get offended at all.  minsan ako pa nga nagstart ng mga joke regarding my age =)

[ldrwifey]

never akong naoffend. im wondering sa ibang tao n masyadong affected kapag nasasabihan, bakit? i mean getting old is part of life, so bakit natin pipigilan. ang importante tumatanda tayo ng may pinagtandaan.. and of course we age gracefully 

[sarsingkit]

no not at all. i'm only 27, i consider myself young but my officemates are mostly fresh grad so parang ate na ako. they tease me that i'm old lalo na ngayon na i just got married. so i just tease them back na tatanda din sila. and besides i felt like i've exhausted all efforts na on "being young" nung college ako so no fuss. sila,they go party now, waste all their money, nalulubog sa utang sa credit card while i just stay at home, clean the house and watch movies. hehe. i go with them from time to time on inuman and nakakatawa na sa akin sila nanghihingi ng payo pag lasing na ang lahat at puro love life ang usapan. hehe.

i'm actually happy growing old. at least i try to pick up a few lessons as i grow old. kesa naman sa matanda by age pero hindi naman sa attitude. matanda na my personality crisis pa. hehe

[twelvth_goddess]

For some reason, people can't really guess my exact age, lageng 3-4 years younger ang guess nila  . They get surprised when I say that I'm 29. I joke a lot about my age, na I feel like I'm just 24  ganyan, and sometimes nakakalimutan ko naman talaga what my age is, nagbu-buffer pa ko madalas para isipin hehe. I guess it doesnt really matter what your age is, what's more important is that you're happy and you feel good about yourself. Yan ang nakakapagpabata. Chaka we should all take care of ourselves regardless if we're married or we have kids or we're busy at work. Stress is the number 1 enemy when it comes to age

[slickchick]

depende... if mas matanda yung nagsabi tapos feeling nya ang bata pa nya, then nakakapikon. but in general, i don't get offended with those statements (i'm 34 btw). what is important with me is that i age gracefully. hindi ako yung parang nagmumurang-kamatis na pinipilit pa rin ma-stuck sa age 18, kahit na 34 na ako. LOL!  and hindi rin ako yun nagmamadaling maging 50 years old by thinking so conservatively. tamang pagtanda lang. 

[pretty_in_victorian]

nope.. haha dahil alam kong hindi naman totoo.. palagi akong sinasabihan nyan ng BF ko eh.. pero pa joke..

[Dacian]

nope, okay lang sa akin.

[rics]

here, for some reason, it is considered inappropriate to ask a person's age. kasi, although the question is of no malice, it might signal a different impression on the person being asked.

personally, there was a point that i was in denial that i am getting old, but not anymore. there was one incident when a co-worker blatantly said to me "you are old" (as if sending the message that she is very young and full of life). My reply: oh yes i am old and you are young, but you are not even sure if you will reach the age i am right now, who knows, you might already die tomorrow."

so to those who would constantly rub in things that has to do with age and being old as an insult, i just say to them: I hope you never grow old and just die young. 

[Prunella]

Not really. As long as I don't have wrinkles yet, I won't take offense.

[hazelbrown_eyes27]

I dont get why people has to say it? Like the people who are being told doesnt know about that.I am told that I was old, and I told them. " I know, you dont have to remind me about my age. I know it very much!" and oftentimes, those who say that to me are the ones who look old. How insensitive, they dont have to really say it and rub it in to people.

 Boss ko nga na 25 years of age, inaattake ng RAYUMA eh! nirarayuma lagi. lagi pang alaxan na baon. tapos ang tigas ng mukha mag sabi ng age namin sa mga newbies. Atleast ako, di ako inaatake ng rayuma.Eh siya? 25 lang, LOLO na!dati I even suggested FLANAX sa kanya.

[m@m@]

lol natawa naman ako sa Flanax.. me hindi naman, as in never.  and i never deny my age. im 35 but i dont look like 35 at all.. 34 lang.. lol.. seriously kahit yung ka team ko sinasabi nila buti pa si mommy 5 na anak pero mukang kaedad pa rin natin (they're on 24-26 age bracket) 

[hazelbrown_eyes27]

Ako rin naman I dont deny my age. Di ko pinababata age ko,I tell them my real age. Pero what I dont like lang eh yung mga uneccessary side remarks pa. What for? What is the point?
