I thought late 20s, you are very pretty! I think a different hair style would take you down to you're real age.

EveryPlanetHasAYorkshire · 11/08/2020 15:30

Why is everyone saying 30s-40s? Are you all on glue?

Kitkat05 · 11/08/2020 15:33

@hearhimsnore Hello OP. I think you look lovely. I don't use make up either. Never have. I'm quiet old fashioned. Like to stay at home 😅 with me it was always "younger" but now I'm totally aging and people guess right. I'm 33 and show it 😂😂😂

GreekOddess · 11/08/2020 15:36

If I saw the op in the street I would've estimated mid 20s but when someone asks you immediately think that they are either much younger or older than your initial perception so you start scrutinising the photo and questioning yourself. I don't like these threads at all!

@Shedpaint many thanks 😊

autumnredhead · 11/08/2020 15:41

32

Beautiful3 · 11/08/2020 15:43

40?

Hiddennameforever · 11/08/2020 15:44

40

Clumsyduck · 11/08/2020 15:45

31 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hiccupiscal · 11/08/2020 15:46

38 - 45. My gut tells me 38.

I actually like these and would love to do a "guess my age" myself. Just to confirm my feelings that I have destroyed myself with stress, alcohol and smoking over the last couple of years-
Or the opposite, & that I am terribly hard on myself and should lighten up.

Never guess why people who answer these ask the op, "why"

Who knows. Who cares why. But op clearly wants to know.

And total strangers behind a keyboard are way more likely to answer honestly than anyone IRL.

Clumsyduck · 11/08/2020 15:46

Oh I see you replied . Sorry haha
Your eyebrows are perfectly fine too btw

@PrincessHoneysuckle

Sod it sorry for hijacking.How old do I look? Had to zoom in when cropped out person next to me on pic
You just want validation about how good you think you look.
Molofololo · 11/08/2020 15:50

My first thought was 28, but I could well believe 24. I think people guessed high because the demographic of people who ask this question are often mid 30-40. And having crisis of confidence, or fishing for compliments that they look younger than they are.
I would think it’s unusual for someone age 24 to ask this on Mumsnet.
You look lovely though.

Greek2me · 11/08/2020 15:57

If your photo is flattering or at an angle in dark light whats thr point? You wont get correct estimates. I think princess is in 30s.

pinkpanther84 · 11/08/2020 15:59

I would have guessed 26

Hiccupiscal · 11/08/2020 16:00

@PrincessHoneysuckle my guess would have been 33, not because of great skin or looking young, but use of filters, time hop, angle and having other people present.
I dont think you'll get true answers because the photo isn't a good photo to judge age on.

I would say a full body shot photo, no filters in natural light would be a good photo for people to judge age.

Shedpaint · 11/08/2020 16:10

@Hiccupiscal oh blimey don’t encourage her any more!

KrabbyPatties · 11/08/2020 16:12

Who cares?

Sparkletastic · 11/08/2020 16:14

It's a very out of focus picture but I suspect with the right skincare you would look your actual age.

LonelyGir1 · 11/08/2020 16:15

[quote hearhimsnore]@SirGawain I'm not offended by the replies. I think I look older than 24 and so do most people.

I'm quite different to most people of my age; not into fashion or make up. I don't have any interest in going to night clubs etc. So maybe this shows in the way I look.

I'm happy with who I am though. Thought this would be amusing - and it was!

This is definitely it why you look 10 years older.

The people you refer to have been out in night clubs and up to all sorts of things so they should look older than you.

LonelyGir1 · 11/08/2020 16:16

*not why you look 10y older

Atalune · 11/08/2020 16:19

opYou look about 27. You’re very pretty and smiley and look like a kind person. If I had to guess your job I’d say a primary school teacher.

princess that photo has a filter AND it’s a time hop one....so I’m gonna call bullshit on your answer Grin

longtimemarried · 11/08/2020 16:23

I wish I was 24 again and knew then what I know now!

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 11/08/2020 16:32

The second person looks filtered and or botoxed to within an inch of their lives.
OP I had you at about late 20s, nowt wrong with your hair or anything else.You have a lovely friendly face .
