How Old Do I Look ? (photo included)

No editing on photo, took in natural daylight. Bit blurry but hopefully can still see all the natural skin lines, etc

I’ve had plenty of lockdown thoughts about being grateful for my relatively ok health (asthma and very minor heart condition) and future travel ambitions so just wanted to know if I look as ‘lived-in’ as I feel.

I don’t wear any makeup/foundation/tinted moisturiser etc , just mascara.

I’m not sensitive about my age so be as brutal as you like Grin

My first instinct was an attractive 55.

fussychica · 24/05/2020 15:14

I was going to say 48 - 55 but then I saw your user name and thought that might be a clue, so pushing 60 but you def don't look it.
I've now seen your update. You are bang in the middle of my guess. You are definitely not a minger!

Saladmakesmesad · 24/05/2020 15:14

Late 40s I'd say. And lovely and healthy and happy.

I would have said late 50's to early 60's, but now you have said.
Basically I always think it is so difficult to judge from a picture. Age is not just about your face, it is about your whole demeanour and some people have a youthful outlook whilst others do not.

Handsnotwands · 24/05/2020 15:17

I thought late 40s and a nice, friendly face. The sort a shy person like me would feel comfortable striking up a conversation with

CallmeNessa · 24/05/2020 15:17

Haha! I guessed about my age, which is 47, but now I'm wondering if I actually look over 50 to people! I shouldn't read these threads & I'm definitely never posting one. I will carry on being blissfully ignorant of what other people think! Wink

Flatbellyfella · 24/05/2020 15:17

42

Kordelia · 24/05/2020 15:18

The people guessing 60 are probably quite young. I'm older than you and would have said late forties. It really is difficult to tell from a photo out of context.
Your photo is natural, most people who post them on here have silly filters and poses.

DollyDaydream70 · 24/05/2020 15:18

I'd say a very attractive 58-60

Halsall · 24/05/2020 15:18

I didn't post but my immediate instinct looking at the photo was 'very early 50s'. Then I read your actual age and saw it confirmed.

You look lovely, OP. Tanned and healthy and at ease with yourself.

Kimsha · 24/05/2020 15:18

First thought - Late 40s

Stay healthy & happy that’s the key to beauty.

Cheers.

lilgreen · 24/05/2020 15:18

60ish

JinglingHellsBells · 24/05/2020 15:19

Too late to the party but was going to say somewhere close to 60.

NotQuiteUsual · 24/05/2020 15:20

I'd put you anywhere from 40-55 Your face doesn't really show your age. You could easily be 40, or a 55 year old who is ageing beautifully. More importantly you have a friendly face who looks like she'd be a right laugh to chat with and would give you honest, but not tactless opinions.

zyxa · 24/05/2020 15:20

I said 45 before reading your update Smile

MyCatHatesEverybody · 24/05/2020 15:22

Mid to late 50s but looking good for it.

I think a lot of replies will depend heavily on the age of the person posting the comments, e.g. subconsciously I'll be putting distance between my own age (46) and yours, whereas when I was in my early 30s my perception of a face in its late 40s would be a lot different to how I'd perceive that image now, so back then I'd have guessed you were in your late 40s.

KnobChops · 24/05/2020 15:22

Early 50s. Can’t believe some are saying 60-65 that’s fucking ridiculous!

lilgreen · 24/05/2020 15:23

No it’s not. I work with two people who are 60 and based my guess by comparison.

DollyDoneMore · 24/05/2020 15:24

You are my age. And I was going to guess exactly that!

I think it’s a lot easier to guess ages for people who are a similar age to ourselves because we’ve seen lots of examples of what that age looks like - I went to a lot of 50th birthday parties last year!

I would pay no notice whatsoever to anyone who says you look 10 years older or younger - they’re probably just really bad at judging age. I bet if you took the average of all the guesses it would land pretty precisely on your age.

SignOnTheWindow · 24/05/2020 15:24

@Sixlifetimesinone I was thinking early 50s, but mostly I was thinking, "That woman has a lovely face." You look like someone people gravitate towards.

lilgreen · 24/05/2020 15:24

Im 49 so close to OPs age. I’m not a sun lover or smoker.

helia · 24/05/2020 15:25

50

incognitomum · 24/05/2020 15:25

Same age as me. And you're lovely don't dare put yourself down!!

Allinadaystwerk · 24/05/2020 15:26

A naturally good looking 58

TrickyKid · 24/05/2020 15:26

Mid to late 5Os?
