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

@Cyclelover Look, kindly- but if your face is suffering from smoking what do you think those fags are doing to your insides which you can't see?

Get help and kick the habit.

60ish? It's hard to tell with the filters.

WorraLiberty · 18/01/2020 22:15

I don't really think those snapchat filters make people look younger, just a bit freaky. Especially the ones that widen the eyes.

However, they were intended as a bit of humour - just a laugh but somehow a lot of young women seemed to take them 'seriously' and thought the wide eyes and puppy dog noses made them look prettier instead of funny Confused

I've yet to see a bloke with a serious dog snapchat filter and that's what makes me cringe a bit to think women feel the need.

Mid to late fifties

UYScuti · 18/01/2020 22:16

you have lovely eyes OP

MilliiMoo · 18/01/2020 22:16

MuchBetterNow I don't think anyone is being an arsehole at all. I'm late 50s and OP looks ten years older than me. Just being honest.

Itwasntme1 · 18/01/2020 22:17

Oops I haven’t read the full thread. Sorry.

MimiLaRue · 18/01/2020 22:18

Early 60s

Seriously79 · 18/01/2020 22:18

Maybe a different hair colour would take some years off?

ParsleyPot · 18/01/2020 22:19

Late 60s.

Rajahthetiger · 18/01/2020 22:19

You look older than my mum and she has just turned 60.

WorraLiberty · 18/01/2020 22:20

Why are people still 'guessing' when the OP has said quite a number of times now that she's 42??

I get that the thread is a long one but she's said it only a few posts ago and not long before that too.

Imonly30 · 18/01/2020 22:22

How old do I look guys?

ParsleyPot · 18/01/2020 22:22

Sorry, it's because we haven't read through from the top!

Sorry OP for adding 25 yrs to your age. You look lovely, whatever age you look like.

olivertwistwantsmore · 18/01/2020 22:22

84?

Ohyesiam · 18/01/2020 22:23

You’re a pretty woman op

LemonTT · 18/01/2020 22:24

The OPs question is that people guess her age. She wants to know how old other people think she is.

Almost40andweeping · 18/01/2020 22:24

You absolute babe x

MimiLaRue · 18/01/2020 22:25

I didnt see that- I didnt scroll back through the pages of the thread.

I'm sorry but the OP did ask and to me, she does look a lot older than 42. That'll be the smoking- see how bad it is for your skin?

angelikacpickles · 18/01/2020 22:26

Haven't read the replies - I would say 55 to 60.

dubmumof2 · 18/01/2020 22:27

I would say 45-55 but I'm generally not very good at guessing ages....

Aerielview · 18/01/2020 22:27

60

PeanisBeker · 18/01/2020 22:27

@Imonly30 at least 50. Was your paper round uphill?

Bunnyfuller · 18/01/2020 22:27

Probably younger than the chavvy filter implies
