Why women hide or lie about their age

Forty is the new thirty.

• Getting a woman to tell you their real age is as difficult as convincing her that just one selfie is enough.
• Some women get very offended when you press on the age issue.

Stories have been told of female Kenyan ‘celebrities’ who, despite being public figures, nobody knows their actual age. The few who tell, lie through their teeth and they do it without even bating an eyelid.

Take, for instance, the case of a well known female Radio presenter cum musician who celebrated her 26th birthday for almost four years consecutively at the beginning of this millennium! She is rumoured to be in her 40s but she still creates the impression that she is in her 20s!
