Well, the reason why so many women feel they have to lie about their age is, i think, because society (american society at least) focuses on the 'fact' that "youth= power, intelligence and beauty" and that 'getting older' is somehow something to be avoided. Probably just a ploy to sell all their surgeries, creams and products to avoid that 'pesky' thing called aging... it keeps the beauty market pulling in billions a year doesn't it??
Personally, i think getting older is a good thing, because that means i lived another year and had another year of experiences.... and anyone who feels they have to lie about their age, is in an essence lying about who they are and not embracing themselves. however, if a woman wants to lie about her age... that's her perogative and i'm not going to hold it against her, allot of people cave to society ideals in weight, appearance and career, it's only natural that many people cave to and want to reflect the ideal in age too....
However, i think getting older is a beautiful thing and something to be proud of.
