It says
You need to implement the hook_form_alter and filtering the form using the $form_id and have to paste that code in.

Feel free to send query to beautifulmind on #drupal-support.

Well, you have to create a custom module( includes a .info and a .module file) to write the hook in. You can not simply add hook_form_alter in the template.php file.

I'm not sure that is the best solution to the problem, but but maybe it works for you
you need to add 2 files

my_module.info

name = my_module
description = my_module.
core = 6.x
version = "6.x-1.0"
core = "6.x"
project = "my_module"
datestamp = current_date

my_module.module

function my_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  //maybe you need a $form_id, this plot in all forms if exist $form['myfieldname']
  if ($form['myfieldname']) {
    $form['myfieldname']['#type'] = "select";
    $form['myfieldname']['#options'] = array(All=>"<All>",Yes=>"Yes",No=>"No");
    $form['myfieldname']['#default_value'] = No;
    $form['myfieldname']['#size'] = null;
  }
}

You can read the documentation:
hook_form_alter: http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_form_alter

my_module.info

; $Id: my_module.info,v 1.1.2.3 2009/10/29 01:04:34 tdrycker Exp $
name = my_module
description = "Filter Module"
core = 6.x
package = my_module

my_module.module

function my_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  //maybe you need a $form_id, this plot in all forms if exist $form['field_age']
  if ($form['field_age']) {
    $form['field_age']['#type'] = "select";
    $form['field_age']['#options'] = array(All=>"<All>",Yes=>"Yes",No=>"No");
    $form['field_age']['#default_value'] = No;
    $form['field_age']['#size'] = null;
  }
}

ant I set the field_age in views filter as Exposed and "is equal to" = All

should I enable the module because if i enable the module it just gives me like debug info

you need add php tags in my_module.module

<?php

function my_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  //maybe you need a $form_id, this plot in all forms if exist $form['field_age']
  if ($form['field_age']) {
    $form['field_age']['#type'] = "select";
    $form['field_age']['#options'] = array(All=>"<All>",Yes=>"Yes",No=>"No");
    $form['field_age']['#default_value'] = No;
    $form['field_age']['#size'] = null;
  }
}
