Singaporean men tend to size you up first. If they think you are still attractive enough to draw younger women, they will ask your age. If you decline to answer, they might shrug and say, “I guess, okay?” but the number they have in mind usually reflects what they hope is true rather than an objective guess. If you decide that it is not okay for them to guess your age, they will quickly blurt out a number before you can stop them, and it is often older than their own age. If they are correct, they feel pleased. If they are wrong, they still feel pleased, because they think they have made you seem older.
