how-old.net

I just did it with 2 photos - one came up as 28 and the as 77 - DH came up as 55

We are 39 and 37 respectively

We can't stop laughing - not so funny for some though

AIBU to ask how far out it was for you (or not)

27 with a straight face and 36 with a smile. I'm 29 and never going to smile again.

It is a perfect tool. My absolute favourite in fact ( nothing to do with the fact that it put my 43 year old face at 30 ) Grin

CommunistLegoBloc · 23/10/2016 21:27

18

SavoyCabbage · 23/10/2016 21:27

My ten year old is 25. And she's wearing deely-boppers. So she should be 10 or 45.

Nonotmenori · 23/10/2016 21:29

I just took a selfie with no make up and it said 24 both times. Not bad seeing as I'm nearly 34!

Akire · 23/10/2016 21:29

57 and then 29.....I'm 40!

ChesterFuckingDraws · 23/10/2016 21:29

2 photos 26 and 28, I'm 33... I like this app 😂

MyschoolMyrules · 23/10/2016 21:30

Lovely. Says I look 40 and 42 and I am 45. I like it.

QueenoftheAndals · 23/10/2016 21:30

Unfiltered, no makeup just now and it said 26. I'll be 40 in a week...

QueenoftheAndals · 23/10/2016 21:31

Yet filtered with makeup and it said 33! But I'll take that too.

olderthanyouthink · 23/10/2016 21:31

23, 21, 24, 25... I am 21 BUT people regularly think I'm between 15-18 Hmm

WankersHacksandThieves · 23/10/2016 21:33

It's fab. Only accurate one was of DSs when they were toddlers. Otherwise it had a photo of me when I was 10 and said I was 23. DH seems to be between 46 and 65 - He's 54. One of me when I was 46 and it said 40. Photo of baby DS1 came out at 4. and one of him when 11 came out at 33 but by the time he got to 14, he only looked 22 :)

RaingodswithZippos · 23/10/2016 21:33

I got 39 - I'm 37 so not too far off.

TaterTots · 23/10/2016 21:34

It varies from 28 to 40 for me (I'm 37), but mostly puts me around 32 - 34, so pretty good. Although it put my 65 year-old mother at 38, so maybe not!

Nectarines · 23/10/2016 21:35

I got 27. I'm nearly 33.
I decided not to try any more pics. I'm happy with that!

MsRinky · 23/10/2016 21:35

I got 29 and I am 43. Fat face, no wrinkles.

Hoppinggreen · 23/10/2016 21:36

I got 33 and I'm actually 44.
It was a good photo though

RJnomore1 · 23/10/2016 21:37

Im 40 and it consistently gives me 27/28. i love it.

3boys3dogshelp · 23/10/2016 21:38

I got 15,19 and 27 on 3 photos taken just now, no make up. I'm 35!!
It did much better with my kids though and got them all within a year of their actual ages.

ThymeLord · 23/10/2016 21:38

24, 22 and 25. I'm 38.

redheadbarmaid · 23/10/2016 21:38

32 no make up, 29 with haha! I'm 35 so I'll happily take that

GiGiraffe · 23/10/2016 21:38

I think the lighting has a lot to do with the variances - glad I am not the only one that has had 40 years added to my age Smile

I come out as in my 50's no matter what I do. I'm 36 and people usually assume I'm a bit younger.

I do have v small eyes and lots of freckles so I wonder if that affects it somehow.

hazeyjane · 23/10/2016 21:40

Dd2 (9) was either 38 or 4
Ds (6) was 13 or 3
Dd1 (10) was 44
I (47) was 46 or 91 (when I poke my tongue out......remind me never to do this.....ever)
Dh it couldn't recognise him as a face.....in any photo (maybe a zombie?)
Photo of Donald Trump that dd1 had defaced - 36

ElectricMelon · 23/10/2016 21:40

I'm 27 and the first time it said I was 16 and the second time it said I was 18 Halloween Grin
