Quote by Oscar Wilde

Indeed, no woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.

Indeed, no woman should ever be quite accurate about her age

Summary

This quote suggests that women should avoid being too precise or meticulous when disclosing their age, as it may be seen as insincere or manipulative. By saying that being "quite accurate" about one's age is calculating, it implies that women who openly state their exact age may be perceived as purposely trying to strategize or manipulate others' perceptions. The quote highlights society's expectations and social norms surrounding women's aging and the pressure to maintain an air of mystery or youthfulness.
