    And here:

    Why would you do that? No one cares whether you're 18, 21 or 28.

    It's not as if you're a 60-70 something woman lying about their age to attract a younger Nigel Havers who was going out with your best mate and you've since fallen for him. Is it?

    Mind you, checking back through someone's posts to find a reference to someone's true age does nothing for the reputation of internet nerds with too much time on their hands...

    Not really worried how old you are, it's you who has it as a username, so thought I'd draw your attention to the error.

    There is no error.

    My username reflects my age...

    I guess i will think twice about sharing my experience with an OP next time.

    Since when has your'e username HAD to be something that was true ?

    Seems to me like some people on here just read a post and then go poking around until they can find something in a previous post to discredit what the person is saying.

    Im must just look through some user names and see if they truely match the person.....one i can think off from the top of my head is "badgerlady"......are you going to pick on her when you find out she's not really a BADGER !
