Please do share, OP, in what context your group of male coworkers asked your age.

I am all agog.

They randomly asked and a female coworker said I was her age, 26, before I could respond. She's sweet as could be. I was put on the spot. Why is it a bad thing to look young on this dcum forum?[/quote]

No no, do not side-track. "They randomly asked" is what I'm getting at. Why did they ask? What was the conversation before the question?

I'm helping you here. Sometimes you can see the question coming before it's actually said, and at that moment you have agency to redirect the conversation. If you really wanted to avoid the question, that is.

(Also, no, the coworker does not believe you're 26. Feel free to ponder why she said what she said. Also, it's not a bad thing to look young, unless you're not taken seriously at work or can't find dating partners - which have both happened to me, but that's for another thread.)[/quote]

Yes she does believe I'm 26. I get mistaken for being in my 20s by nurses and medical doctors. An rn looked at my chart and exclaimed that i look to be in my 20s. Another medical doctor kept telling me i looked to be a college student in my 20s and advised me how I could keep it up. I also don't see why you would not find dates when you look younger. Sounds ridiculous to me.

The question was randomly asked. When a coworker tries to get to know me it's one of the questions they ask especially if male. The ages of the guys who asked were in their 20s and 40s.[/quote]
