Birthdays on the 29th of February

Imagine if you would, that you were born on the 29th of February of a leap year (or better yet, if you were actually born on that date), what date would you prefer to celebrate your birthday on during "non-leap" years: February 28 or March 1?

I would choose to celebrate my birthday on March 1st

I know of one friend who has such, and thus he decides to celebrate on March 1st.

I would most likely do the same since at least it's after the appropriate date.

March first. It's the same day of the year as Feb 29. I attended a birthday party last weekend, but it was on the 28th, not the 29th. Close call there for the birthday boy.

How is it a paradox?

Traditionally, February 29th birthdays are celebrated on March 1st. It falls the same number of days into the year is the given reason, I think.

February 29th since it would make my birthday special since I get to celebrate only once in every four years.

Yes, but you'll get birthday presents only once in every four years

If you were born ~21 years ago on the 29th of February you can't buy beer on the 28th. For real.

I'd choose 1st March. Mainly because in Romania 1st and 8th of March aredays dedicated to women. This way I'll have my share of attention.
