Ok so here’s another question. As stated I’m 41 and I never wear a bra. Stopped earlier this year as just can’t be bothered. I’m fine with my choice but just don’t want to increase my risk of breast cancer or damage myself in any ways?

Completely your choice but if you want something that keeps your boobs vaguely in one place without constraining them at all, you could try a crop top bra - www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/317152559

In your 40s.

Auburn hair.

Size 14

Glitchymn1 · 06/10/2025 14:48

You are quite far away 🕵 I would say short/ petite.
Brown hair and eyes.
Age 40’s? I’m just going more on hairstyle and glasses what you have on as I can’t really see your face.
Size 10/12 ish?

CeciliaMars · 06/10/2025 14:45

Age 40. Size 12.

Greenwriter76 · 06/10/2025 14:45

36
Size 12
Hair light brown

Didimum · 06/10/2025 14:43

I think you look 40, size 14 with brown/auburn hair.

momtoboys · 06/10/2025 14:42

I don't understand the point of this thread. Why do we need to know you don't wear a bra?

FeliciaFancybottom · 06/10/2025 14:39

Bras have nothing to do with breast cancer.
What was the point of asking people to guess your age?

MiddleAgedDread · 06/10/2025 14:36

you're probably more likely to damage yourself by not wearing a bra than you are by wearing one!!

But the visitors will likely be entertained in the living room, so they will see it better that way round.

But a mat is really to only look at when you first come in. Not whilst visiting in the living room! Completely preposterous ! We will have to agree to disagree.

Swiftie1878 · 06/10/2025 12:16

Mid fifties. Auburn hair. Dress size 14.

DiscoBob · 06/10/2025 12:11

Hair looks reddish. Age wise it's difficult to say. Could be anything from 28-60. Sorry I'm not good at guessing ages! Dress size again hard to say as your not in context next to other people. 12/14/16 maybe?

I’ve never been in a house where the front door leads straight into a sitting room…does it get very cold and draughty?

I've lived in a couple of houses like that and it didn't. One had an enclosed porch outside, which the OP may have - the other didn't, but it was fine - it was a solid, well-fitting door. The main thing I missed was having a hall in which to leave coats, shoes etc. The house that didn't have the porch had a small lobby by the back door, and we ended up mainly using the back door to go in and out and that was where we hung coats.

But that makes no sense! The mat isn’t for the OP. It’s for the people who come to visit. You know you’re welcome in your own house! Don’t need a mat to be reminded of that 🤭

I disagree - the person arriving will barely notice it, but OP's front door leads straight into her living room, so she has to look at the mat all the time she's in there; I would want it the right way round from my perspective in those circumstances.

Oo, was right high 5 me

Frankblackwife · 06/10/2025 08:56

41,16, light brown?

mondaytosunday · 06/10/2025 08:47

I guessed 40, you look on the short side so I’d say a 12/14, hair reddish. So not too far off!

statetrooperstacey · 06/10/2025 08:44

You could be anything form 30-50 no idea from the photo it’s hard to tell , good skin tho! Light auburn hair, slim, maybe size 14 ?

Sorry for late replies. I’ll answer comments a few people made

thanks for comments on good skin, I haven’t worn make up in over 10 years which probably helps

I ask because I literally have hardly any social life so when I do venture out (this photo was me going to lunch), it’s nice to think I look reasonable

i did dye my hair myself yes but going forward I’m actually growing it out as I haven’t seen my natural hair for ages plus the less I dye it the less damaged it’ll become

i appreciate my hairstyle isn’t the most flattering but it’s so hard to style short hair and I regret cutting it. I’m willing it to grow every day so fingers crossed

the welcome mat being the wrong way was my husbands idea. He says it’s to say people are welcome to leave. Which sounds strange as he’s very social and often has friends over.. and I’ve just left the mat as it is. Not an issue really

think I’ve answered all questions but if not feel free to ask

Omg! Exactly what I was thinking! I mean instead of pondering how old people think she is, OP should fix her mat 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

Isn't the "welcome" supposed to face the person arriving?
