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

So much prettier without the filters OP, you dont need them!

LynetteScavo · 18/01/2020 21:29

The first filter really ages you!

JeffreysWorkTrousers · 18/01/2020 21:29

It will be the smoking that makes you look older. And sorry but you do look very late 40s or early 50s. I am mid 40s and a lot of my friends are.

Kick the smoking, you can do it. There is a quit smoking board on here that can support you through it. I have never smoked, but my Mum did and we watched her die of lung cancer. Horrific to watch your Mum go through cancer, chemo, lose all her hair and ultimately die too soon.

Jomarchsburntskirt · 18/01/2020 21:29

Late 50’s which is old enough to know better than to engage in the whole filter thing.

FagAsh · 18/01/2020 21:30

It’s the fags babe

They’ve aged me too and I didn’t really smoke tons and tons

Just quit now.

MilliiMoo · 18/01/2020 21:31

OP I think you look mid to late 60s. Sorry if I'm wrong but looking at your neck, lines around eyes (laughter crinkles) and limes and folds around mouth. I'm basing it upon my own age which is mid to late 50s.

Sparkle567 · 18/01/2020 21:31

I would 100% change your hair colour... a more natural blond will make you look so much better.

WorraLiberty · 18/01/2020 21:32

There's no point in my trying to guess your age because I've just RTFT and found it out.

You're very attractive either way and I agree with PP's who say that first filter makes you look much older than you are.

Dolorabelle · 18/01/2020 21:34

Early to mid 60s

Concestor · 18/01/2020 21:34

Woah filters! In your 60s I'd guess from the pic though the filters indicate you're about 12 - what grown woman uses deer filters??

BobbyBlueCat · 18/01/2020 21:34

I'd have guessed late 50s/early 60s before you told us your age.

But lay off the filters OP. It's chavvy and tacky as hell. The second photo you put up 'without filters' was so obvious you'd edited it to fuck.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 18/01/2020 21:38

"74"
Oh don't be ridiculous
. If you are 74 though, Op. I hope I look as good as you when or rather if I get to that age. I hope you're not offended by this b ut you've got the sort of look that it's hard to tell your age.
You're very pretty, though.

magicalpeach · 18/01/2020 21:39

Late 50s. My mum is 53 and you look older than her

Chikkitikka · 18/01/2020 21:39

Late 50s.

Almost40andweeping · 18/01/2020 21:40

How old am I ladies

To ask you to tell me how old I look?
Popc0rn · 18/01/2020 21:40

I'll be honest and say you look late 50s to me in that unfiltered photo.

I think cutting your hair a bit shorter and going for a slightly darker colour might make you look a bit younger? You have lovely blue eyes, darker hair would probably make them stand out more?

Notthetoothfairy · 18/01/2020 21:41

Almost 40 perhaps @Almost40andweeping?

Elbeagle · 18/01/2020 21:41

Almost40andweeping 39, based on your username...

Yestermost · 18/01/2020 21:41

You look ace in the last photo. The 2nd one made me think you were about 60 with botox.

Fuzzyflamingo · 18/01/2020 21:42

Almost 40?!? 😂

BustedDreams · 18/01/2020 21:42

My oh my, how brave of you @Cyclelover. Do you not mind if people in rl recognise you?

BTW you are pretty no matter what your chronological age. I agree with PPs that smoking is very bad for the complexion, same for being slim. They say you choose between your figure or your face.

Almost40andweeping · 18/01/2020 21:43

Ha! Never thought of that as I’m dumb! I’m now 41. I feel about 48 with eyes like foreskins

Livebythecoast · 18/01/2020 21:43

@Almost40andweeping - ummm, 39 perhaps? Hmm

Clevs · 18/01/2020 21:44

55

CassidyStone · 18/01/2020 21:45

@Almost40andweeping you're having a laugh right? No-one's going to say 53, not with that username.
