age confusion

Anubis · Post by **Anubis** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 10:10 pm

had you ever been confused by some one else's age. like i thought shadowblaze was a 31 year old guy then i just found out that home dog is two years yunger than me.

we need put age on our posts to keep that from happening

I really think they should have an age thing at the side too, maybe you should suggest that in the forum modifications area. Even though it would be adding yet more info to the side, it would be great for an idea of how old the person is.

Though you must remember, sometimes not everyone acts their age, most people seem to act their shoe size.

There's a field on the profile page where a user can put their birthday.

Just today someone thought I was 12.

Heh. When I was twelve most people thought that I was 16 or 15 because of the way I roleplay. And now I'm thirteen and I'm starting to be mistaken as a guy.

Have you ever been asked:

"So, how old are you miss? 12? 13?"

Me ---> "I'm 16, thank you."

That is what they said when I was trying out for the art job today.

People always think I'm older than I really am, lol Nice sometimes, but creepy othertimes

Because my first name's Rikky people always look at my name and assume I am guy. I've gotten used to it though (I guess I'm more masculine than feminine anyhow

)

No, no I haven't. Though I've been told I look younger than I am. My examples up there are from when I'm on the internet.

Oh, it's the internet, it happens. Heck, many people I've met in RL are surprised when I tell them my age.
"You're 20!? Whoa."
"Yeah, what's so weird about it?"
"Nothing..."
"C'mon, what?"
"Nothing!"

It's actually pretty annoying.

You're a girl?

Wow....

Well, that shows how good I am at telling people's gender...

Figarou · Post by **Figarou** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 12:51 am

Hmmmm.....the gender mod is already in place. How come not everyone is using it?

Oh well.

Black Shuck · Post by **Black Shuck** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 12:51 am

It's not your fault, I haven't turned the gender dealie on. Like I said, everyone does it

The ladies at the office in my school even call me Rik. I'm pretty lax about it

Searif · Post by **Searif** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 9:30 am

when I was about 11 or so I wouldnt tell anyone my age online then I would tell them my age and they would be like "what? your only 11? your quite smart for your age"

hehehe, Ive always knew you were a female, I just didnt figure out your age a while

I tend to mistake people for being younger through their typing. It seems as though people my age are stupid, not all, I've met alot of smarter people my age, inculding here don't worry, that debunk that. Apparently it still seems as though some of the people are running around with their stupidity, I'm guessing stupidity just sticks out more than intelligence. Normally I don't hang out with a group of younger people, unless they're reasonable, but that just makes me hypocritical because I'm younger too.

Otherwise I remember joing Neopets four years ago when I was nine. I visited just like a month ago to check out the forums, oh the stupidity to be found behind every crack and corner! Ack!

I'm happy I don't run into stupid people here much.

Indeed, quality of language can be a function of age, but it can also depend on location--people speaking (or typing) a secondary language might sound younger or less intelligent than they actually are, simply because they're having to work with a narrow vocabulary and unfamiliar language architecture.

For example, I'm stuck working with English, because there's no keyboard for Wolven Thought Code 1.0, or its Cozalien precursor. English is a very asymmetric language, and it requires a mashed-in face, a dinky little tongue, and short, squatty teeth to sound right.

I was the one who confused with gendar the most so I dont wy everyone is complaining
