I'm another who's started just changing the year to something before 1990 and not wasting my time putting it in accurately. Wish I could just enter it without going through drop down menus.

I wouldn't mind it if sites actually remembered your damn birthdate (gametrailers, steam for example), but no, that barely happens, so I've resorted to putting it in as quick as possible.

I was raised to know that liars aren't good people.

Indeed, every human is bad.

Naughty naughty us.

 

[moretimethansense]

I used to actually enter my D.O.B (at least the one I'd have had if I were old enough at the time... Cough) but after a while I thought to my self "wait! they don'y actually check this shit why do I care?" and just hit a random day month and any year from the early eighties, though if I'm feeling especially immature I set my age just about as high as it'll go, just for the inherent funnyness of a 107 year old looking for (for example) midget porn, I'm not sure why but the idea just cracks me up.

 

[Frotality]

no need to lie, but as the title of this thread notes, there is really no reason to put in my actual birthdate when just putting in random months/days and scrolling down to the early 1900s is so much faster.

 

[Okuu_Fusion]

Even though I'm old enough to view whatever, I lie simply to avoid having to click and scroll down the day and month boxes... Its so tedious...

 

[mexicola]

1st few times I entered the right age, but nowdays I just scroll way down and hit a random year. Extra points if it makes me over 80 years old.

 

[lacktheknack]

I put in the correct year, but never the day and month.

If they used these boxes as a method of research, they'd probably find that 90% of the world was born on January first.

 

[sneakypenguin]

I'm way past the age gate but i still go tab, tab, scroll enter just cause its quicker (jan 1st 1970-1990) or if its one you put in manually 1, 1, 1987. I dare say there are a ton of ppl who do jan 1+random year.

 

[khaimera]

I like to put February 31 1991. You know, a day that doesn't actually exist. It's even better that every website takes it and only looks at the year.

Thats awesome!!!

I'm going to do that too.

I wonder if sites use the data to tell how old their users are?

 

[esperandote]

I just pick an old enough year

 

[SenseOfTumour]

I just wish that if you were signed into something, especially if it uses a credit card, so say, Steam, that it'd bypass the age checks, if I have a valid card, and you already hve my age on record, I don't need to keep verifying myself, surely?

It's also annoying that if you mess up the check on Steam, it remembers for ages.

 

[Ertol]

I always put the actual month and day, but for the year I go all the way back, as far as possible. Sort of funny to think I could be 150 years old and watching a video about some rated M game. But really if you tried to search for the video then you're going to lie about your age to watch it. I suppose if it was a random video you didn't know anything about it might deter you?

 

[Wes1180]

January 1st 1990 or 89

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I never go through the hastle. I just use the default month and day and enter some random year. No reason to actually do it anyway.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

I just put in whatever is the quickest. if it uses one of those scroll bars its usually like 1/1/1990

 

[RandallJohn]

I never enter my actual age. I'm too lazy. Why find my actual birthdate in three lists when I can just tell them I was born in 1910 and get the same effect?

 

[El Poncho]

Well when I am too young I put in that i'm 50 odd

 

[Numachuka]

I was raised to know that liars aren't good people.

Go team House!

 

[siddif]

Im 22 but i lie because its faster to only change the year than give my accurate DOB which isn't actually needed. Steam blocks some mature games unless you add a DOB (if not logged in) so i just hit a random year thats older than 18

 

[Ossian]

I lied about my age to play Microsoft gaming zone back in the 90s, other than that I never needed to.
