How do people know how old people are on this Yahoo! answers thing????

Question

I don't want my age to be known!!!!!!

Answer 1

If you don't let the public read your profile, or hide your age and address in your profile then the public will never know.

We don't really want to know each others private life here, unless someone is interested and contacted you.

Don't trust anyone easily, be careful whom you are dealing with.

Cheers!

Answer 2

We never know!You pet-a-file!

Answer 3

They don't know. If you don't want your age to be known then don't tell it.

Answer 4

I don't know. I base it on the manner in which they ask questions and the type of questions. Go to Beauty section and you can clearly see the difference between a desperate teenager and an adult. I take it the crappy spelling is that of a teenager trying to be cute or something..(though it could be some old person that is an idiot).

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

if you put  your age on your profile and you make it public

Answer 9

i don't think that anyone here knows anybody's age for sure. i could say i'm 12 and you'd still believe me. it's the internet, someone lies some others tell the truth, it's how you draw the line between trust and doubt. anyone could be telling or lying about their age in here. so you have nothing to worry unless it eats your conscience that you're not telling the truth. :)

Answer 10

the way you talk and by looking into you profile....

Answer 11

Sometimes you can tell age by what they ask here on y/a as well as by the answers they give.

Answer 12

It's quite hard to estimate the age of a person in internet. In general, some of old people act as like as they are younger. Even some old people can ask childish questions. I think you can estimate the age by guessing if this person has an own philosophy or not. If he answers question in a public way, s/he is young (under 30 yrs old). If s/he answers question in a different way than public, he is over 30 yrs old. If s/he answers in a discreet way, he is over 50 yrs old.

Answer 13

then dont tell anyone

Answer 14

You don't know and that is the great thing.  Anyone asks...I'm 100...lol.
