We've all been there, or at least, I have...
"How old do you think I am?"
My natural "evolution" of answering this question:
When I was young... I'd just guess and make sure that it's low. Some ladies got mad that I guessed too low though. I just wanted to flatter (and essentially "chase"). Or, I may say, "You're not old at all." You'd think that these would be good, but actually not so much...
When I was a little bit older... I got frustrated (after hearing this so much), and I'd just either say something random, ignore the question, or bring some other topic up.
Now... I usually just say flatly, "100 years old." It gets a small laugh and usually guys don't say it. If I'm feeling cheesy like back in my youth (rarely these days), I may just smile and say, "Well, we're all 0 year-olds on Pluto" to enforce the idea of how meaningless "age" really is.
All 3 options aren't that great, but #2 probably is the worst because anger isn't so great for seduction (since the question is usually posed in a "flirtatious" way if they're around the same age).
I was thinking about just posting this question, but then I realized that these "trap" questions come up all the time. In fact, there's probably already an article up about it by Chase haha.
Even online, I met this girl, and I asked for a pic. She sent me a pic of 4 women in it and asked me which one I thought was her. I simply replied back, "The prettiest one." She tried to egg it on, but I just kept saying, "It's so obvious; any fool can see who the prettiest one is in the photo. There's no need for me to say." All 4 women were pretty, so it didn't really bother me haha.
How do you guys usually answer these kinds of questions? I assume bantering back is probably the best, but are there other better approaches?
