Very rude questions?Make them stop?

Because you don't mind the age remark, just smile and say "Oh thank you!" I have the exact same problem as you. I'm 27, asian, 5ft 2. People always call me Honey cos they think I'm really young (and it doesn't help when I have some candies in my hand). Others have thought that I was 12.

You can take it as an insult, or a compliment. But I think it's better to look at it the positive way. Accept who you are and you won't feel the way you are feeling anymore.

This is a common problem with east asians, since most people cannot read ages in races other than mainstream ones.

How do you answer the question? Gracefully, and honestly. Let them make a big deal out of it, not you. Just let them say what they want to, no need to acknowledge anything further. Your lack of participation and obvious disinterest in their conveyed surprise will be a strong hint that you hear this all the time and that they are doing something that annoys you.

You are never going to be able to get people to just stop asking you. Learning how to deal with it it though should not be a problem. Responding with an oblique remark about how it is a personal question and in the end, not answering, is a litlte ineffective i think.

You have to remember that they are just trying to be friendly and also to be complimentary. They do not know that it bothers you to be told you look young. They are probably delighted and envious. Just be pleasant and make some "fun" comment. I like what the first person here wrote about ladies don't reveal their age. Then be businesslike and change the subject. Truly, your situation could be so much worse. Try to think of people less fortunate than you and what they have to put up with from strangers commenting on their looks. At least the comments you have to put up with are meant to be complimentary.

Wow, it truly is a appropriate question! i think of the suitable way for us to alter into much less rude is by utilising being kinder to one yet another. prepare comprehend. one in each and every of the different answerers suggested to declare "please", "thank you", "particular sir/mam", "no sir/mam". those are all remarkable innovations, yet you additionally can carry a door open for a stranger, permit somebody with much less products than you on the food market bypass in basic terms before you, or in basic terms smile at somebody. The smallest component ought to truly brighten somebody's day and in return they are going to probable do the comparable component to somebody else. it may be like the action picture 'Pay It forward'. i think of the main necessary component to undergo in innovations however is to have a great mindset. i'm hoping this permits! Have a secure and chuffed new 365 days!! ?

A rude question does not deserve an answer. There's nothing you can do to make them stop, but you can certainly stop the prying the moment they attempt it by saying that it's a personal question you choose not to answer. By reminding them it's personal they should not pursue it, but then they already demonstrated they are rude, so who knows...

You answer dryly, "how kind of you to ask" - then you do not answer them and change the subject.

One need never answer such a rude and personal comment or question.

Just look at them for a few seconds before you respond and then say "Old enough to know better than to ask personal questions."

Just smile politely. You never have to deal with questions that make you uncomfortable.

* Respond to them by saying, "My, that's a rather personal question!" Then just continue doing what you were doing.

I always answer, "Don't you know a lady never reveals her age?" It usually works.
