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.

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.

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

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

For me, no bother. It doesn't make me feel like I need to jump into a relationship. But I already have children.

Maybe someone who wants to start a family and start having kids may feel that way.

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

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

I guess cup is the most important thing to wear because gals love to kick that part the most not sure why

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

Come on no one can trick a woman to fall in love with someone. It is like an ice breaker where u make sure she is interested and then show her your magic. There should a spark to start a fire, this move can be something like that. Something like if a guy holds the elevator door for you or bring flowers, just the opening

No harm in trying ofcourse need to wear my guards

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

doesn't bother me a bit

Now that requires a helmet

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

Humm if you think it works 99% of the time go ahead and prove us right..

I do not know of one woman that would get in a relationship only cause she is getting older...

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

Then lovely lady you are from the 1% category. Congrats
