To get one of the sweaters with wrong year of birth on just for the compliments?

I was born in 1980.

I fancy one of these sweaters.

I think the compliments will come rolling in that I look really fucking good for 53.

ABU that every little helps?

Probably more likely that no one will comment and instead think it reasonable that you were born 1970.

Are these a thing now?

😄

I sometimes wonder about people using filters etc. on photos online, and then looking quite different IRL.

So funny. My grandma always added ten years to get age so people would say, wow you look great!

Can I ask why you would want people to think you are older and look good for your age (as older)
how would you feel if you don’t get the ego boost (for want of a better term) that you want?
