A New Way to Fib About Your Age
Posted by Sarah on July 2, 2009 at 12:03PM

I have (what I think is) a revolutionary new idea regarding women's ages. It's not uncommon for us to fib about our age, especially as that real number starts to creep up. I don't think there's much harm in it, I just think we're doing ourselves a disservice.

Say, for example, I'm 39. And maybe through using some of these wrinkle-zapping serums I could pass for 35. Now, I could tell people I'm 35 and they would probably believe me, but some might think I look a little old for 35, and maybe I could use one of these skin treatments.

But, what if instead I told people I was 40? They'd believe me, (because what crazy woman is going to say she's older than she is?) and they'd think I look amazing for my age. Brilliant, no? It's like an instant face-lift, you immediately look younger if you just say that you're older.

What do you think of my new plan? Crazy or genius?

How about not telling? Nobody should ask a lady their age and if people are nosy enough to ask you say: I do not say. Then that is not fibbing. Why is this still an issue? Why aren\'t men asked how old they are? It\'s a double standard created by men to discriminate against women. Let\'s change the way women are valued in this society? What do you think? I say think for yourself as a woman and not like a man.

My sister has been doing this for years to decrease the age difference between her and her husband. The side benefit being that people think she looks fantastic for her age. Go for it!

I never thought of that! That\'s a good idea! If you said you were older then people would say: \"woah she looks good for her age!\" instead of thinking: \"she definetly doesn\'t look 35!\"
