Is not asking a woman her age sexist?
Would not asking a woman her age imply that the aging process has made her less than valuable? If men are typically held to age into distinguishment, why does a woman's age raise awkward and rude feelings? Does this not infer a woman's worth is based on desirability? If you know a woman is older than she looks, why does this polite societal rule become lenient versus a woman whose has not aged gracefully?
How do you ask a woman what her age is?
Lol it’s as easy as it sounds.How old are you?I guess i am older than you. What is your age?Are you 1998 born? ( she’ll probably correct you if you’re wrong and tell her year of birth)Whom will you vote in 2019? ( she says modi) oh so you’ll be over 18 by then. How old are you right now?Suppose you found a suitcase full of teddy bears. There are as many teddy bears inside it as your age. So exactly how much teddy bears will the suitcase have? ( works everytime, even with chocolates. )Tell me your age and i’ll tell you my salary. (don’t try if you’re broke)Just try to guess her age and add 2–3 years more and somehow ask her hey you’re 23 right? And she’ll answer no idiot i’m 20!BINGO.Usually whenever i have to ask a girl her age i’ll come up straight away and ask her age. Almost everyone under the age of 30 will tell her true age.For over 30 i’m sorry i can’t be of any help.
What is the origin of "half your age, plus seven" dating rule?
The rule (in the form of specifying the ideal age for a man's (younger) wife) was taught by Elijah Muhammad of the Nation of Islam, as noted in The Autobiography of Malcolm X*. I don't know if that is the ultimate origin, but it tickles me to suppose it might be. [On the Internet, I also see a number of vague "I think I remember something like that in Little Women" comments, which would be far earlier, but I can't find any relevant references to "seven" or "7" in its Project Gutenberg text](*: "Mr. Elijah Muhammad taught us that a tall man married to a too-short woman, or vice-versa, they looked odd, not matched. And he taught that a wife’s ideal age was half the man’s age, plus seven. He taught that women are physiologically ahead of men. Mr. Muhammad taught that no marriage could succeed where the woman did not look up with respect to the man. And that the man had to have something above and beyond the wife in order for her to be able to look to him for psychological security.")
Is it really inappropriate to ask a woman her age?
Age is arbitrary. It's also a social and cultural minefield. Age matters in the following circumstances (in the US):when you are a child. Most children are very proud of their age. Before about 10, age-related markers are tied to other measurements: such as weight, for car seats, or certain development milestones, such as a range of birthdays to enter public or private school (at some private schools, you may have to be 5 and know your colors too, to get into kindergarten).when you want to drive a vehicle (15 1/2-18, depending on state, permits, licenses, if you're driving passengers, after-hours, etc.);when you want to get into an R-rated, or X-rated film (17, 18), not that anyone's really checking;when you're old enough to go to war, or to vote (18);when you're old enough to drink (21, in the US);when you get access to a trust or inheritance - 25, 42, ...whatever (depends on the terms of the documents;when your age shows up in an annual report or 10-K, along with your compensation;when you qualify for senior citizens discounts and become concerned about things like IRA distributions (70 1/2), AARP membership (50); retirement age (generally 65); some social security benefits (delay til 67);when you are 100 and get a special letter and commendation from the President. Most 100-yr-olds are very proud of their age.The general rule, for both men and women, is that unless you need to know because you are responsible for compliance with one of the items listed above, don't ask. It is inappropriate and rude to ask someone their age, unless you have a clear purpose beyond idle curiousity or speculation about the effects of smoking or dental care, cosmetic surgery or good genes. Whether you think they are older than they are, or younger than they are - either way can be insulting, condescending - you never know. Better not to go there; if it's volunteered, great. If you know someone well enough to celebrate their birthday with them - not just know when it is - then you'll know someone well enough to be able to ask their age, or at least tease them about it. Chances are, they'll tell you anyway, long before that, if it matters.
At what age is it rude to ask someones age ?
For example, it is probably ok to ask someone who looks in their 20s their age, but maybe it is rude to ask someone who looks in their 40s. Does this also depend on the askers age ? Are the rules different between men and women ?
When could a man ask a girl or woman her age politely?

Why is it considered rude to ask a woman her age?
Women are very fragile creatures. They know that their age is one if their best plays when dealing with prospective mates.It is only considered rude these days given the fact that Western Civilization has gravitated towards gynocentrism and away from biological necessity.Young women generally are uncaring about being asked their age. This is due to a variety of factors not excluding justification for their immaturity, knowledge that men will still be interested in them for biological reasons such as fertility, and general proudness of their youthful beauty.Older women still playing the dating game tend to wear more makeup and dress so that their age is obscured enough to enable them to pose as youthful enough to be viable mating partners. These are the ones that call asking about their age “rude.”Conclusively, it is nothing more than a superficial tactic used by women in general to keep themselves in the game. Asking a prospective mate their age is a perfectly viable way to determine their compatibility, “rude” or not.
Why is it considered rude to ask for a man's wage and a woman's age?
It is considered rude to ask not only man but also women about their salary,not because of the sentiments of that individual but because of the attitude that our society relates with the salary.Our society estimates the talent of an individual based on his salary.salary nowadays has become a unit of achievement.that's why a man get offended when asked about his income.He feels insulted.the further conversation with that person ,now depends on his salary.The topics to be discussed would be reshuffled for that person.This kind of discrimination discourages a man from telling his salary.Now talking about the false tale of a lady's lifespan,her age.Most of the people think that ladies hide their age in order to seem more attractive and appear confident in the public.This is not a lie altogether but there is a bit more to it .An age is not just a number in today's era .This number alloys you a particular sector or group which decides your company.Now a lady being an adult can also have a enthusiasm of interacting with youngsters ,but your age prevents you from this .This is the main reason why ladies seem hideous about their age so that they can freely interact with the society .
