This topic has come up before. I've been lurking and I haven't seen it discussed lately.
I'm 39 and I'll be 40 in under 2 months. When a girl (heh, girl, not woman!) asks how old I am, I tell her to guess.
If she were to guess high, then I would be genuinely flattered, and I would say, "oh wow. I'm actually 39, but thanks."
BUT THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED! Unless you have no teeth or hair and pull your pants up to your nipples, she's never going to guess high.
If she were to guess low (happens every time), I act just slightly insulted and say, "oh god no! My balls have descended. I've been out of the training program long enough to know what I'm doing."
If you have a great frame about your age, then your perception will become her reality.
