Are you touchy about divulging your age?

I get asked a lot about how old I am. Sometimes it comes up in casual conversation and sometimes it is because I can be child like.
If someone asks me today how old I am – I will tell them that I am only 7 – seven decades that is. Cheers!

    Not really (although no one's ever asked me).

    Not at all.  I still look pretty good for someone just about a month away from 80.

    Not at all, I'm too old for that.

    I can be. I want people to get to know me before stereotyping me based on how they think someone of a certain age thinks or behaves. It's interesting to learn what people assume about my age when I don't divulge it. There is a real bias against older people whereby anyone over 65 can be treated as if they are physically incapable and mentally confused.
