Someone just asked how old I am on YouTube. My main focus online is to highlight viewpoints that Western mainstream media often overlooks or misrepresents. I keep things fun and lighthearted-that’s my way of staying young at heart—but the goal is always to inform. I’m open to casual chats or discussions with anyone. If you’re up for being online friends, that’s great—age or other details don’t really matter to me. Just to be clear, though, I’m not looking for anything beyond friendship.

It’s generally considered impolite and potentially insensitive to ask a woman her age, as it can be viewed as a personal question that is not relevant in most social situations. 

Here’s why it’s often seen as inappropriate:

• Personal Information: Age is considered personal information, and some people may feel uncomfortable sharing it, especially with strangers. 
• Focus on Appearance: In some cultures, asking a woman’s age can be interpreted as focusing on her appearance and youth rather than her character or personality. 
• Ageism: There’s a societal bias against older women, and asking about their age can reinforce negative stereotypes and make them feel objectified. 
• Social Etiquette: In many social situations, it’s considered better to focus on getting to know someone through conversation rather than asking potentially sensitive questions.
