Why do women need to lie about their ages?
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I also don't know any women who lie about their age, but there is that whole idea that you should "never ask a woman her age", which I scoff at and think should be done away with already. But of course the social stigma against women "past their prime" still lingers so I don't doubt there are still women out there who feel pressured to lie.
I almost don't know any women who lie about their age. I did know one women, mother of a friend , who wouldn't say how old she was,made a large deal of it, even made sure her children didn't publish her age in her obituary.
She looked pretty much her age. She dressed nicely and fashionably, but not in teen-type clothes. She did, all winter, wear high-heeled boots, on our icy roads, sidewalks, and stairs to buildings. Bad idea.
I wouldn't be bothered telling a lie, about my age. Especially with my adult children with me, who are close to each other in age. Look at my older son, add 21 years-that's me.

Yeah, I hate this idea that women should remain young. I don't know any women who lie about their ages, either; I think this was probably more common in the past, not so much, now.
My mom never wanted to tell anyone her real age. She'd always lie and say 28 or 28 again. I think she dreaded the idea of getting old.
