The above has absolutely nothing to do with why an age icon is an EXCELLENT idea.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Ok no need for melodramatics, Im sure you wouldnt be "forced" to disclose your age, hopefully if it was implemented it would be optional like your location.
And if it was optional i dont think the point of it would be gone, most people in these forums seem to be honest, well adjusted people that dont seem to care much if someone can see there statistics, and probably wouldnt think showing there age is some kind of massive traumatic issue.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
this is optional already. go to some people's profile's and their b-day might be there and possibly their age.

Demon, why are you so against this idea?
I, for one, am against this idea because I think there might be better ways to acheive the same goal.
People are going to be lying about their age left and right. It would be too easy to circumvent.
Furthermore, age is just a number and not always indicative of maturity. Many 25-year-olds act like 15-year-olds.
Like I said, if you're going to implement it, make it OPTIONAL.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
It is optional. Hell if you want to know how old someone is, look in their posts. People invariably make some reference to it.
Not sure why Demon is so against it. It is kind of womanly to worry so much about your age.

And I can see that you're the first to do that. 24? Pffft, didnt you say in a thread last year that you were "fresh out of high school", looking on how to pick up college chicks for the first time?

BUSTED. That explains a lot, actually.

Demon, what are you some kind of wierdo?
No need to lie about your age. Seems like the edge got you good....

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
