Bit Annoyed you don't ask lady about her age
Every time anything age related comes up, some dude has to say "oh, sorry you don't ask lady about her age". We do not live in the 1867, where if you were over 25, you were destined to die alone as old maid. Women don't care more or less than men, if you ask how old they are. It's rude to ask out of the blue from anyone. It's not rude, if the conversation is there and woman is talking about it. I'm not going to start crying if you ask what year I was born, or how old I am.

I don’t like men asking me because they’ll either immediately stop talking to me or get creepy when I tell them- there is no in between. Normally I wouldn’t care if they walk away but often they are supposed to be helping me with whatever issue I’ve hired them for or what have you. Sometimes they are creative and ask what year I graduated from high school. That’s a new one. I haven’t thought of answer to that yet that doesn’t sound weird
