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)

Tried half a dozen photos, and they all came out within 2 years of my actual age
Except the selfie I took to send to my friend to show how many wrinkles I've got - I'm scrunched up my forehead for extra effect. That came out as 21. I'm 35...

I tried one of 14yo DN and it thinks she is 27...

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 23/10/2016 22:30

Oh and now it's just put DD at 2, DP at 31 (both correct)... and me at 13. Grin

Yambabe · 23/10/2016 22:37

84 and 77. I'm 52 Sad

Both photos taken within the last 3 weeks. Pass the botox!

Velvetdarkness · 23/10/2016 22:48

I got 39, 44, 54 and 36. All very similar photos. I'm 41.

Thumbcat · 23/10/2016 22:55

49, 36 & 74.
I'm 40.

HormonalConfusion · 23/10/2016 22:55

Me (29) it's guessed at 34, 32 & 29 (so not wildly off). Tried a couple of photos of me from when I was 24-25, and it guessed 20 and then 30 (I really don't think I aged 10 years within less than 12 months)

DH (32) is apparently 39 or 38.

DD (5) is 7 (from 2 different photos).

DH's cousin (17) is 9 according to the app (I'm sure she'll love to know that Grin) but IRL I'm fairly sure she could pass for 20+

bruffin · 23/10/2016 23:04

im 54, i used two different photos, i am apparently 37 or 46 Grin
DH 55 got it right at 55
DS 21 is 27
DD 19 is 35 Shock

RubbishMantra · 23/10/2016 23:17

sugar,the app aged your 2yr old's age as 67!? And Donald Trump showing as in his 30s...with THAT hair? Would anyone in their 30s have hair like that? Or anyone, apart from the Trump, age regardless for that matter. Maybe the Trump Hair-do stumped the app. Madness , pure madness I tell you. But less mad than he could be president of the US.

Is his hair a toupee or an elaborate joke comb-over?

I won't be putting my face up for electronic scrutiny after reading this thread!

GrinchyMcGrincherson · 23/10/2016 23:18

DH is 40 got 42
DD 12 got 10
DD 9 got 8
DS 6 got 6
I'm 35. I got 49.... Sad

Khara · 23/10/2016 23:21

Well I'm happy - I got 34 then 27 (I'm 46!) Dh got 72!!! (he's 50!) Ds was spot on at 14 but dd was 18 (she's 11!)

Bookaholic · 23/10/2016 23:25

I'm 50. I got 30. I'll take that Grin

maddening · 23/10/2016 23:31

Am 38 and got 23 on several attempts with no make-up

ErrolTheDragon · 23/10/2016 23:34

I dont have any selfies handy and not trying it at this time of night - very tempted to see what it makes of a photo of my dog...

Standingoutsidethefire · 23/10/2016 23:40

Mmmmm, used 2 different photos taken about 1 year apart, most recent said 53 and oldest photo said 7! I'm 36 ffs

80sMum · 23/10/2016 23:53

It was pretty accurate with the photos that I tried of the rest of the family, though not so much for me. It guessed mine as 53 and 43 from 2 very similar photos taken a couple of months ago. I'm 58.
My DD and grandchildren's ages were exactly right.

OSETmum · 24/10/2016 00:39

I got 40 and 68 😂 I'm 30 and look younger. DS is 7 and got 37.

Mypoorhat · 24/10/2016 00:46

I'm 35 but it thinks I'm 26. Delighted.

It put my 2 year old as EIGHTEEN.

Memoires · 24/10/2016 00:47
  1. I'm actually 58. At this time of night, I'm not surprised, though; I feel 74.
user1471470545 · 24/10/2016 00:57

It just gave my 26 year old brother in law the age of 2 (he has a beard)

APlaceOnTheCouch · 24/10/2016 01:02

It put DM at 87. She's 82 and will not be happy at that extra 5 years 😁
It put me at 5 years younger than I am.

Choccywoccyhooha · 24/10/2016 03:07

This is the best thing ever! I got 14, 18, 31, 33 and 55! I'm 38.
Grin

RainbowDashian · 24/10/2016 05:29

I got 23 and 20 (I'm 29).
DH got 34 (he's 33)
Ds1 and ds2 got 4 and 3 on one pic and 7 and 5 on another. They are 6 and 4.
Other than me, it got the rest of the ages really close so I'm choosing to believe that I must look younger than I am Halloween Wink

Vanillaradio · 24/10/2016 07:21

I came out as 27 and 54. I'm 40. The first one of ds said 5 the second 23. He's 2!!!

RavioliOnToast · 24/10/2016 07:23

I got 21 both times, I'm 23

ageingrunner · 24/10/2016 08:30

I got 59, then 29, then a couple more 59s. I'm 42.
I put one of my 7 year old in and got 27 Confused
