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

I would have thought the same as your friend-mid sixties. It's definitely the smoking. Best of luck with giving them up, it'll be so worth it.

bambambambambam · 18/01/2020 22:42

Be very embarrassing if everyone said something totally different now I said that

Zena - are you 34?

FrivolousPancake · 18/01/2020 22:42

@zenasfuck 38?

M3lon · 18/01/2020 22:43

I'll tell you what really is insulting....thinking that being older is so terrible its possible to be insulted when someone thinks you are in that category.

There is nothing wrong with increasing age. Its not shameful, its inevitable.

Try not being shallow - its really is genuinely wonderful.

It is insulting if everyone thinks you're 20 years older than you are, of course it is. Doesn't mean people think being 65 is terrible, but no-one wants to look that old if they're much younger.

ACheekyFinger · 18/01/2020 22:49

@bambambambambam ahh you're beautiful! I'd say 30Smile

It’s a blurred filter with shit on it that covers half your face? I’d say older than 18 and younger than 107.

PrimalLass · 18/01/2020 22:50

You look so much younger without the filters

squeamishsquamish · 18/01/2020 22:51

I haven't RTFT (at least not all 409 messages) but I'm 57 and - sorry! - you look much older than me. It's because of the smoking, too much sun, unhealthy diet and not enough water.

If you're crazy enough to post your photo on here and ask such a targeted question, expect brutal honesty.

Newmumatlast · 18/01/2020 22:51

Hard to say with filters but from what I can see based on those I know personally I would say about 58-60

Dont be so ridiculous. Noone wants to look 50 in their 20s. It doesnt mean 50 is "bad" it just means you want to look around your actual age. WTF is wrong with that?

Dylaninthemovies1 · 18/01/2020 22:52

@Pardonwhat exactly my point. You can’t actually see me properly in it. I’ve posted another filter which is less flattering.

I think you look younger in your most recent picture. Really brings out your eyes!
