🤣🤣😂😂😂

Or is she just deluded?

'I am soooooooo beautiful, and perfect, and hot, and no man I have ever met is good enough for me. All the male friends of my kids fancy me, I have had men from abroad saying if they lived closer they would date me, I could get a rich man if I wanted one, I look half my age, yada yada yada.'

What on earth is going on in this woman's head? I mean, it's ok to be confident and assertive and so on, but this is just too over-the-top!... Confused

Whatever you think about this, it will give you a good laugh! Grin

Wow. She clearly has bad eyesight

Bluerosethorns · 17/10/2017 16:42

I really think she is a bit simple - i mean not the full shilling. Her mannerisms and thought process are really off, genuinely she doesn't seem all there.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/10/2017 16:51

All this said, though. It could all be a front. We don't know what she's like her own domain. Its very easy very easy indeed for people to paint a veneer of arragonce. but for all we know. She could be appallingly insecure. We all know the saying empty vessells shout the loudest

Telstar99 · 17/10/2017 17:19

@KoalaD

Confidence is not the same thing as vanity.

I'm all for women having healthy confidence and liking themselves. This is not that.

This. ^

As for the few who said 'you are so mean about another woman's looks, blah blah,' don't be so ridiculous. People are entitled to their opinions, no-one has been horrible about this woman, and what's more; we women don't all have to gush over each other all the time. And all that posters have done, is pointed out she is being ridiculous.

The upshot is; the woman is deluded, she is normal and average looking, and she put herself out there in the public domain by choice, so she deserves any comments she gets; negative or positive.

whiskyowl - how is people talking about her on MN a coup for a completley different site? While I might pass comment here, I'm certainly not about to look her up on youtube and subscribe to her channel, and I'm assuming most other people on this thread aren't either!

to be honest I think most people aren't great at estimating ages. They tend to make assumptions based on random features. Particularly clothes, if you dress in a more casual way, then people will often think you are younger than if you're in a smart work suit. People think I'm younger than I am quite often but tbf I think it's because I'm short! In the ITV selfie of her on the bus she's wearing that gold coin headpiece thing- not judging either way but it's the sort of accessory I'd assume would be aimed at teenagers rather than 44 year olds.

Just no.

LaurieFairyCake · 17/10/2017 18:17

I think it’s hard to estimate age. I put a photo of myself up almost ten years ago and on average people put me at 12 years younger. Which is entirely baffling and I’m defo putting one up for my 50th so I can get my ego boosted Grin

Sienna333 · 17/10/2017 18:24

She looks about mid-late thirties, my arse does she look half her age. She's deluded.

brasty · 17/10/2017 18:27

When ever anyone asks me to guess their age, I always guess younger than I really think. Much safer.

BanyanTree · 17/10/2017 18:27

Watch the video again. Only her lips move and her eyes blink. No movement of cheeks or forehead. Eyebrows permanently surprised.

Even with the Botox I still thought she was mid 40s

Telstar99 · 17/10/2017 18:35

It is true that your age is judged (by some) based on not only 'random features' but also your 'image.' I saw someone I know who is 45, look 52/53, when I saw her dressed scruffily with scrunched-back 'flat' hair and no make up; and then she looked 38-39 when she had her hair looking nice and tousled, with nice make up, and a nice 'trendy' outfit.

I know several women close to me, (all 42-52,) who have been mistaken for 7-8 years younger, and 7-8 years older. My best friend was mortified the other week when she was offered something recently for the over 60's, (when she has only just turned 51,) then a few days later, she was with her 5 year old niece, and someone thought she was her daughter. So THAT person didn't think she was over 60, or she would have assumed she was her grandaughter. She also had someone think she was 39 one other day, and then someone think she was 'mid 50's' another day.

People are not always great at telling peoples ages, and also as has been said, some people look older or younger, depending how they present themselves. The woman in the OP looks mid to late 30's on the pic with the long hair/plaits, and mid 40's on the close up with her short hair. And as someone said earlier, her eyes give her away. Her eyes definitely belong to a middle aged woman in her 40's.

Well, if anyone wants to find out how she looks like she does (and also beat depression - double whammy!) she's written a book about it:

DollyPartonsBeard · 17/10/2017 18:38

Bugger. Sorry for shoddy linkage - if you're interested it's on Amazon Hmm

Telstar99 · 17/10/2017 19:01

Thanks Dolly.

It couldn't be more obvious that the huge 'write up' on that amazon page is written by her. It's worded in the same deluded manner that she spoke in on 'This Morning.'

Funny looking women .

SchadenfreudePersonified · 17/10/2017 19:30

Nice, succinct write up by the author

toffee1000 · 17/10/2017 19:42

There is a huge difference between thinking you're beautiful and thinking that you're so beautiful that no-one will date you.
Maybe she is insecure. But people aren't going to see that, as evidenced by this thread. They're going to see someone who sounds incredibly boastful and vain and egocentric. Some guys may think that she thinks so much of herself that they wouldn't match her high standards, or would feel inferior next to her.

MrLovebucket · 17/10/2017 20:25

I think she looks very attractive and yes, younger than 44. I'd put her mid-to-late 30's (def not in her 20's though).

Her attitude isn't so pretty though.

Oliversmumsarmy · 18/10/2017 07:12

I was once mistaken for a 17 year old when I was in my early 30s

I apparently was a dead ringer for this girl who attended a boarding school in the village where I lived.
I was in the local pub buying a large round and was coming back from the bar with several pints in each hand when I was accosted by this old guy who told me to get back to school and he would see me later.

Instead of laughing it off should I have written a book?

Sienna333 · 18/10/2017 12:27

One of my best friends is 33 but gets mistaken for 17/18 all the time
