To ask if you’ve got in mind what a typical mumsnetter looks like ?

Which Grammar School were you at? I was never a perfect.

Middle aged, blond or red hair in a sort not bothered bob, tired, kind face, likes her food, do not care much what she wears as long as she's comfy, lives 2 streets away from most of her family, grown up children, married to her childhood sweetheart, works at Morrisons, lives in the Midlands, the North or Scotland.

Is that a description of yourself, you're a Mumsnetter?

Well there are apparently about 12 million of us , so I have several 'types'.

None of which I would describe here because I would get lynched!

Is that what you’re like then?

I’m 25, a short arse and have size 5 feet and brown hair, so there.

I think the typical MNs is older than the media image if that makes sense so they are 55/60 as opposed to a 35 old with small dc.

young margaret thatchers.

45-50 blonde hair. Dressed like a French woman. Size 6-8 never been fat as we have lost sight of what normal weight is.

Head is at a permanent tilt, always tinkly laughing.

Oh, and left wing people think I'm a complete tory, while right wingers think I'm woke. So, a centrist.

Slim, active, educated, attractive, straight, married with kids, middle class high earner or sahm, Home Counties, doesn’t invest in friends - has acquaintances but none they’d go out of their way for, highly strung. Barely drinks doesn’t smoke.

Quite tall and broad shoulders, averagely attractive and middle aged spread.

Lots of maxi skirts and cardigans.

Look down on people who don't have "big jobs".

Houses that are cluttered with wooden floors tatty book shelves , crochet blankets and high ceilings.

Middle class bores.

But I do also recognise the odd norther lass with a good sense of humour and I imagine they're a bit rough. Like me 😂

While I voted that YABU, your description is actually dead on for me, minus the grey hair.
I like to think of myself as young, but I am 42 so if I'm honest I'm early middle aged.
I'm five eight, with size 7 feet.
I love a good trouser suit, although I do love very feminine looks as well. I'm obsessed with style and have far too many clothes.
I have never smoked and I quit drinking five years ago, just before the pandemic. I am very healthy, slim but very strong. I have a good, sensible, balanced diet: I don't obsess about UPFs the way some Mumsnetters do, but I tend to avoid junk. I'm not vegetarian or vegan as that would be very unhealthy for me.

Short brown curly hair
Plump
Frumpy Boden dress or creased white linen trousers
Mid-forties

It's mad really because I look nothing like that myself and I can only wish I was still in my mid-forties! 👀🤣

But that's how I imagine most MNetters.

@wizzywig ha, no the dog is actually untrained and belongs to a 'family member' who insists on bringing it to stay on high days and holidays and the Mner can't form the words 'don't' because her mouth is glued shut (or somesuch) and so ends up looking after it. For a year.

@chollysawcutt was the dog originally the husband's first wife's? And she has been roped in to walk it?

@MrsSethGecko as long as you never answer your front door when unexpected people turn up, you're fine

Really slim. Teeny-tiny in fact, because spends a lot of time shaking and crying (hence uses up energy). Plus, has greedy husband who eats all the meal-planned food (his and her share). Nervous demeanor (doesn't like answering doors or telephone). Quietly spoken and drippy (doesn't like confrontation). Tired-looking, as run ragged by 'gorgeous' twins who are often in trouble at school or need new plimsolls or have disowned her for no discernible reason. Also tired because has to look after a niece or nephew (maybe both) for feckless family members. Quite fit because she has a dog she walks - or alternatively has no dog because she hates them.

I'm nearly six feet tall, quite fat, live in a council flat, wear whatever I like the look of on Vinted that doesn't cost more than a tenner, small fat feet, hair that needed washing two days ago, had a serious drug habit ten years ago, no car, minimum wage job, no husband, don't want one, a roast chicken lasts about ten minutes round here.

I don't know what I think anyone else here looks like.

I don't think there is a typical mumsnetter and I roll my eyes when someone starts talking about the women and men who post on here as though they're all the same and think the same.

I imagine her sitting at a wooden table in a large farmyard kitchen that has a 'perfect triangle'. She is eating a massive salad with leftover chicken from the last week, it's already done 72 meals for the DC. She has a boden shirt and blue chino type trousers, good boots. She genuinely calls her DC 'daaahling' and is just about to go off and watch dc's football match in a Janelle coat while her borish dh buggers off for another 6 hour essential trip for his hobby.

What.

I always imagine a slightly neurotic middle aged woman. A bit of a busybody, a bit overweight, frazzled, hates dogs and most of hers and her husband's extended family. Constantly obsessed with whether people are rude and is unable the assert any kind of boundaries.
