Inappropriate topics

perfect sense to me and I cant believe I never thought of it that way!

*kicks self* doh!   lol my lower register and my high register as of late are playing real tricks on me and the docs even thought for awhile I might have swollen lymph nodes or whatever.... thank goodness for a misdiagnosis there!

I hope this makes sense to some people.

I have to say that's the first good, logical reason I've heard.  Not being anything resembling a singer myself, I have no knowledge of such things.

But we're still not gonna answer the question.

I wish to apologize for the "explain" comment that ended my last post in this section. It showed a lack of respect that I did not intend. OFG I do respect all the moderators and members of this forum and will refrain from any more publivc questioning of policy.

On the voice thing: Believe me, it gets quite frustrating.
On the age thing: I have a pretty good guess as to how old they are by using a little logic and I'm beginning to see "the light at the end of the tunnel" which is all I need. But, thought I'd voice my reason.

I agree with Rich, totally makes sense. I have to admit the age thing baffled me at first, but one of the things I've come to really appreciate about this forum is the respect we all have for the girls' privacy and personal lives.

Why is somebody's age so protected? What is the big deal? I understand social security numbers, phone numbers, addresses, even sexual preferences, But age? Explain.

We remove those topics because several of the CW ladies have expressed their feeling that their age is a private matter.  Mairead, in fact, is quite outspoken about it.  She won't even discuss her age.  Since the ladies (and others from CW) do visit this forum, we choose to respect their privacy.

I can't understand why their ages are so important.  And I strongly suspect that the question would rarely come up if they were a group of men.  I used to watch the Irish Tenors on PBS when Ronan Tynan was still with them, and nobody ever inquired about their ages.

There's only one reason why age is such a big deal for CW or most members in here. Its because they're FEMALE!!! LOL.   Guys dont really care about telling their age but women do and believe me, I got in trouble once for predicting a woman's age wrong.

I never could figure out why age is such a big deal since anyone's age can be found on the internet.

I'm glad topics regarding age are removed from the forums.  I personally don't mind sharing my age, but that is my choice.  I completely and totally respect someone else's choice to NOT share their age.  And if ANY of the CW ladies at any time prefer to not share this, then I think we should respect their choice.  Yes, this information is available on the 'net, but it doesn't mean it should be on the forums.  I love that we all respect the ladies' privacy.  I firmly believe they give us SOOO much already...how could we ask for anything more?!

That's a fallacy, if the info was readily available, there wouldn't have been so many trying to guess the ages of the CW ladies that prefer to keep their ages private.  I'll agree that you can find out a lot on the net, but not everyone is listed.

That's humiliating! I can't believe it!

hey I admit to 29.

when you think about it, once you hit 21, why get any older? I guess when you hit 59 1/2 it becomes important for retirement, pension, tax, and health insurance issues though. But from 21 until 59 1/2, age sort of doesnt matter, in a way, if you see what I mean?

Back to Starrgurl's concern: What Rich said. Your orientation matters not. I'm a straight guy with a crush on Lisa. That's fine to mention here (I have on occasion). Of course, anything beyond that is not respectful to the ladies of CW or other members and is inappropriate for our teen members.

If I haven't said it before, it's good to have yet another voice here singing the praises of CW!

As for the age thing, I can see where the tension comes from. People often want to know an age simply as a means of identifying with someone. For instance, Brooke Shields and I are almost exactly the same age. I identify with her as part of my generation, especially since she's been famous since we were 12. We have "grown up together" if you like. Bono is about five years older than I am so he would be more like an older brother figure. It's just part of how we sort things out relationally.

But women can get judged harshly for their age. Just the other day I saw a post on a forum where a guy said a certain actress should be shoved in a hole and buried simply because she's 39. Never mind that she's a beautiful woman on a top-rated TV show. You know he wouldn't say that about his favorite male actor. Me, I would be bragging about my age if I had looked as good as her at 39 (I didn't.) I don't think she hides her age but it'd be her prerogative is she wants to. Same thing here.

i agreed with everything you said. I am also a straight guy with a crush on lisa and chloe but i know my limits. I know the chances of me hooking up with any of the CW is second to none so its just a fun crush.

And as for the age thing. I would like to know a women's age so when i chat with them, i know how to act. People act a little different when you know what age they are. I act a little different when I am talkin to elders or people over 35. Im in my 20's so I might feel more comfortbable talkin to people around my age. Its very well put as identifying someone.
