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

@WorraLiberty

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

Because I purposely didn't read the replies before posting so as not to be influenced by them!

Mammylamb · 18/01/2020 22:28

No idea as you’re using a filter

doobiev · 18/01/2020 22:28

You must be at least 90 because I'm 40 & always get told I look ridiculously young. 😜

Mid to late 50s

WorraLiberty · 18/01/2020 22:29

It could be the smoking but I too (like a few PP's have said) know lifelong smokers who still look way younger than their years.

I think smoking, genetics, weightloss (particularly yo-yo dieting), sunshine and polution all have a hand in how old we look.

Can anyone guess my age??

@BlackOfHeart I think we should start with species...

Fair point, well made Blush

AlandAnna · 18/01/2020 22:30

I know how old you are now, but from original photo I could say you were anything between 25 and 55!

MaisWeee · 18/01/2020 22:30

Wow. I thought a good-looking 60.

Almost40andweeping · 18/01/2020 22:31

Any adult using snapchat filters portrays a certain vibe

  1. Trying to look younger and prettier (but we can all see it’s a filer)
  2. You don’t see Princess Kate, or Nigella, eat al using fucking snapchat filers
  3. Why would you actually share a pic of you using a gimmick designed for tweens thinking it’s cute?
Rachelfromfriends1 · 18/01/2020 22:33

Some of the comments here are very rude. Commenting on how thin you think her hair is or how many fine lines you think she has in comparison to you is so unnecessary

MilliiMoo · 18/01/2020 22:33

Zena 52

ihearyoutoo · 18/01/2020 22:34

@zenasfuck late 30's

Cyclelover · 18/01/2020 22:35

Wow alot of hatred for the animal filters here. They are just a bit of fun, lighten up!

Zena, I would say 34?

35?

Zena 41.

I would normally be the first to agree with that but given the subject of the thread, it's not rude at all.

Fine hair and lines do tend to make us look older.

Bunnyfuller · 18/01/2020 22:38

How can you expect a realistic guess at your age with the damned filter!

It’s like you don’t want people to see what you look like. However, it would appear the filter is giving you at least an extra 10 years from the replies here...

Cyclelover · 18/01/2020 22:39

Bunny I have posted a photo without a filter on the second or third page

Yep. The filters definitely age you by at least a decade, if not more. Dump them, seriously.
