Age Math
If you are going to lie about your age, add a few years. Or a decade.
For example, if you’re 42 you won’t get much of a reaction if you tell people that you’re 38. But tell them that you’re in your 50s, and watch the compliments really start to fly! Huge, free ego boost.

Until someone says, “Yeah, that’s about what I would have guessed”. Poo.

Andrea is correct. I tried it once and the response was “oh”. So I guess I look older than I am.

OMG…I so did that when I was way younger. Of course I added too much one time and people fell out laughing. It didn’t help that I probably looked five years younger than I was.
Those days are gone.

This is the best tip ever. A serious genius must have written it.

Not only would I get compliments, but save money too, something we all need in this economy.
