What gets me is that so many people think that they have to knock years off their age to make themselves 'attractive' to the opposite sex, and it seems to be more a female than a male thing.

The columnist in last night's paper decries the idea of having date of birth on any identity document we might have as it provides 'incontravertable proof' of a woman's age. Why is this such a problem?

Can any male mudactters explain please!
