I have been recently liberated from a 7 year relationship, and I am thirty five. I have however been told thant I look at least 10 years younger than I am, and have been approached by younger men for dates. Howvever when the talk of age comes up, and I reveal my age - I get negative vibes from the guys! You cane see the wheels of doubt churning in theri head - how come she's never been married, and has no kids - something MUST be wrong with her! I like to be upfront, but I may feel compelled to delay the talk of age untilI have found someone who is truly interested in me for who and what age I am.... what say you?

I believe in honesty...If a man ask you how old you are then be honest..I have met many younger men who do prefer older women due to the fact they are more mature..Well, is what they said lol..My sister married a man 10 yrs younger than herself..It isnt the age hun,,the wheels are spinning cuz they probably dont see your age as attractive until they met a woman your age..Might need to see that as a compliment...Just be honest for an honest man/woman always finds happiness...God bless

If they care that much about your age forget them. You may wait until the end of the date to tell them, so that they can get to know you the whole date instead of the "she's 35" wheel churning in the back of their head. Some guys like older women, or some guys may like women their own age. If you are dating someone that young to make them think that then maybe you should try dating older guys. Younger guys are still immature, and will trade you in for a 'younger' model. Tests have proven that the general woman is younger than the man in her relationship by 5 to 10 years, just because men do not reach a level of maturity like ours until they are much older.

Aw, just tell them your age if you feel like it. If anything, they should be thinking how great you look for your age. They should think how sexy you must be to still look that good when you are 10 years older than they thought you were. If they have a problem with your age and they distance themselves from you, then you should be asking yourself if they are worth your time to begin with. I mean, if you fudged on your age and didn't tell them the truth right away, they will find out eventually anyway - that is if you end up having a relationship with them. I'm 45 and have been told that I look like I'm in my early 30's. There are times I have been told I look like I'm in my late 20's. Frankly, I am not at all attracted to younger guys (besides, I'm engaged to someone who is 46). Still, my feeling is that if a guy is put off by your age, then perhaps you should be put off by him!

Well I wouldnt bring the subject up but if it comes up or they ask I think you should be honest. If it bothers them they will leave no matter when they find out. Also there are a lot of older single guys who wont care that your 35 - pay them some attention and let the 20 somethings stay w the other 20 somethings!

if you saw yourself on the street would you think you were 25 - 28 years of age? how many people have told you that you look 10 years younger than your real age? If it's true that you look 25 instead of 35 your aging well and most men probly arent going to give a crap how old you are if you look that good.

You dont' have to on your first date. But do be honest. One dishonest answer might make them doubt you completly..."what else could she be lying about?" So yes, tell them the truth, you probably don't want a man who can't accept you for who you really are anyway, do you? Blessings!

its better to be honest when necessary. it works positively in the long run. i left my exhubby when my kid was barely few months old. now she is 5yrs. and its true, when you are free, men young and old really approach you. i tell them that im 35 and separated and got kid. so im not worried anymore. the lucky guy will stay. if he deserves you, he will be there for you. so dont rush, the lucky guy will come, just hang on. be true to yourslef.

just be upfront from the beginning. Guys won't care for your age are the ones you want anyways. so if they can't look past that then they are no good.

Lower your age by 5 years. That way when you tell him later in the relationship, he won't get angry.

Sure, why not?
It's either accept you for who you are, or don't accept you at all.
