I was insulted today and told I look much older than I am. Could I ask you to tell me how old you think? Blush

Be kind, but honest

@PooWillyBumBum I agree with @CassidyStone ... I hope your '42 y.o. smoker friend' has given permission for you to post her photo on here! Hmm Covering her eyes with black scribble doesn't disguise her FFS!

Why has someone posted a picture of their friend on here?

Why would you do that?

TigerOnATrain · 18/01/2020 21:13

@RumbleDoll 58 to 62.

UndertheCedartree · 18/01/2020 21:13

You look lovely - people are saying you look older as you do have smokers skin. I don't know what to say but I hope you're ok.

TwoZeroTwoZero · 18/01/2020 21:14

Mid 80s. Late 70s at a push.

FarTooSkinny · 18/01/2020 21:14

About 72?

littlebillie · 18/01/2020 21:14

55-69

TatianaLarina · 18/01/2020 21:14

I was going to say mid 40s, so 42 is not far out. You def don’t look 50 OP.

KitKat1985 · 18/01/2020 21:14

I would have guessed 47, so I'm not a million miles off from your actual age of 42. I can see that your a smoker though OP without you even having to post it (sorry).
I also think the hair dye is not doing you any favours. It's quite a harsh blonde colour. I think it would be better if you chose a more natural colour.

ThebishopofBanterbury · 18/01/2020 21:15

I'd say 50/51. You must have a thick skin to post this op! I wouldn't dare ask people this!

I've RTFT thanks!! I'm sure others have too!
Nothing wrong with answering the OP's question 'How old do I look'.

skiptheskip · 18/01/2020 21:15

@PooWillyBumBum I hope your friend knows you’ve posted her pic on here.

@RumbleDoll I’d say about 70 but looking good for it.

doobiev · 18/01/2020 21:15

For starters even if you posted a photo of child posterswould say you looked 70.

Having said that I reckon you are in your 40s but do look older. Apologies if I'm wrong but you look like your pretty slim & are a smoker.

TigerOnATrain · 18/01/2020 21:15

I am reporting the post with a pic of the poster's friend.

Bang out of order. I'd lose my SHIT if someone posted a pic of me without my consent.

Traffy · 18/01/2020 21:15

@RumbleDoll you're so similar to a friend of mine! She's 75.

Hotpinkangel19 · 18/01/2020 21:16

You definitely look younger without the filters!!!

TwoZeroTwoZero · 18/01/2020 21:17

Actually, I'm being daft because I saw your answer and that you're 42. You're only 2 years older than me and whilst I don't kid myself that I look younger than I am you do have deeper wrinkles than me, probably due to the smoking. Good luck with giving up Flowers🤞

zenasfuck · 18/01/2020 21:18

@rumbledoll 64?

Mlou32 · 18/01/2020 21:18

I would have guessed late 40s. You look so much better in the unfiltered photos.

lostinBristol · 18/01/2020 21:18

50s-wrinkles around lips happen in 50s

InsertFunnyUsername · 18/01/2020 21:18

Hopefully the posters friend is actually the poster, or has her permission.

TrickyKid · 18/01/2020 21:18

Well assuming your mouth area doesn't have a filter on I'd guess 55-60?

InsertFunnyUsername · 18/01/2020 21:19

OP the filters make you look older. I would have put you at 45ish in your unfiltered picture.
