I really enjoyed reading everyone's posts on this topic!
I have always been honest about my age but I admit to letting people guess because they always guess lots younger than I truly am (and yeah, that is a bit of a boost!) The only time being honest about my age has met with somewhat negative reactions is that younger people do tend to treat me differently once they know my true age (I just turned 40 last week but I look mid-20's).
Unfortunately, there does seem to be a bias in society against "older" women, which is really silly.
I look and feel better now than I did in my 20's; I am more sure of myself than at any other time in my life. To me, though, "age" really is a state of mind; that is far more important than any chronological number of years a person has been on this planet.
