I came off as a snob on that one - but I see many people choose to disclose their age and gender and family status as they feel comfortable with it. Often people write the kind of work they do and where
they live - but it is a matter of getting to know someone - like a neighbor. I wouldn't ask my neighbors their ages because they wouldn't give me cookies and homemade soup any more!!
When I first moved into my digs I broke my arm unpacking boxes in my garage...ever since then people are giving me gifts, moving my garbage can back up the driveway, bringing me books to read and my arm is healed but I'll never let on about it..hahaha.... people really enjoy getting friendly on their own terms ... and who cares when they were born?
