It depends, on websites like this or other sites where I'm gonna stay around for a while I enter in my real birthday since I'm 19. But if the site is for a trailer or something I usually enter 1/1/slide-the-year-to-the-50's

 

[Catie Caraco]

I'm 23. I use my own birthday.

 

[ceyriot]

Depends on what I'm watching or registering for. If its just a video I want to watch, whatever is fastest. If its something I care about, I'm over 18 anyway so I just enter my own birthdaye.

1/1/ and then scroll down to the bottom of the list and click a random year.
Those damn websites which put 2011 at the bottom of the list are my greatest enemy.

 

[Krantos]

I give the year. Most sites, that's enough. When I have to give the date, I just put 1/1.

 

[Formica Archonis]

Depends on the site. For things like the are-you-old-enough-to-see-this-video warnings, I just change the year to something in the ballpark of my age since I don't see why it matters that I be honest in saying I'm 32 or 37 or 27. For more permanent stuff, I use something approximating my real birthday.

Last time I was 100% honest on a web form about my age was when I was doing my census forms.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Usually I just kept the default month and day (usually January 1st), and just scrolled to the lowest date.

1/1/1900 usually.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Depend on how the dates are enter. I type out my real date of birth but if its the type where the dates are in a drop down table I tend to scroll to t nearest year of my birth.

 

[Suman1991]

earlier i would make up something so that i could watch the video.

Nowadays i do the same just because it takes too long to put in my real birthday

 

[jonyboy13]

What's get me the fastest, whether it's just entering the year without exact date or getting random date.

Captcha: have an inkling

I find the new one quite entertaining.

 

[Get_A_Grip_]

Seeing as I am over 18 I will enter my own birthday.

Although I always used to say I was 18 before I was 18.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

If I'm actually signed into the website, I'll enter my real birth date, just in case they have a popup screaming "LIAR!" for inconsistent answers. Otherwise it's 1/1/197x or so.

Yeah, this.

I tend to leave it at 1/1 and just hit something in the vicinity of 1990 for the year if I'm not signed in

I'm sure they'd like to automatically assume that everyone claiming a birthday of the 1st of January was lying, but it would only take one lawsuit from someone for whom that is their birthday to screw that principle up

 

[BlazedWithPower]

random date and month and scroll down until i see a year that is over 18 years ago.

I'm 24 i just don't like the roadblock. actually that was why i made an account, though i wouldn't have to do that any more.

 

[Angerwing]

My birthdate is 16/04/1992.

That's 19 years old.

If it requires over 21, I'll just modify the year. But it shouldn't, because I'm legal for everything.

So yeah, I enter what I am.

 

[WaywardHaymaker]

I usually scroll hard and just see what day I was born on today. Last time I got something like July 29th, 1934. I'm 17, so I have to do that, but I can't imagine why I'd painstakingly search out my actual birthday just because.

 

[the_hoffs_ego]

I'm 15 so I usually do January 1st, 1992 because '92 is typically the last, easiest to pick option on the scroll menu for years.

 

[Jodah]

If it only needs me to change the year I just set it to something random in the 70-50s, wherever I land scrolling. If it needs me to change or enter everything, I use my real Birthday.

1.1.1993

before 2011 I would put 92 and so on. They should get rid of choosing your day, month and year form a drop box and instead just have you type in the year you were born. Feel like its such a waste of time, not really stopping anyone.

 

[instantbenz]

Good question ... I think this is an interesting poll.

I tend to put January 1st and then the actual year of my birth 1987.

January first is always faster than my fall birthday.
