To ask you to tell me how old I look?

[Cyclelover]

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

Be kind, but honest

I am 45 (and look it!) and I was asked to show my id to buy alcohol last week. Embarrassing as my oldest will soon be 20.

The faux Posters, who already know people think they look younger than their age is just so cringeworthy. How much validation in life do you need? The Op has had some harsh comments, so you think your stealth boasts are necessary?

Yes, you’re right, op did ask...
Agree that Snoopdog’s photo had a lot of Vaseline on the lense, so to speak! Why do that and claim to look younger than someone else?We’ve no idea whether you have lines or not.

Did we find out how old RumbleDoll was???

You look a lot younger than that Emmmie, wow

@Pinkyyy

Because saying

I agree. A load of highly filtered pictures with people asking how old they look in them. I really don't see the point

Isn’t having an opinion on the question asked! It’s criticising the OP & others for asking/posting

It was bloody clear what the thread was,so if you ‘don’t see the point’ then there’s no need to involve yourself is there!

I feed my child raw egg sometimes makes them look younger

Emmie, you look maximum 30. But you are covering your hair and not smiling. It looks like the photo has a filter. Your skin looks lovely.

Lots of makeup too, Emmie.

I have never been ID'd for alcohol. Even when I was young enough 🤦🏼‍♂️😭

About the make up, you are right ! Not proud of it. Also, no filter, but the lighting outside was rather flattering that day.

60 ish

Lol Emmmie, and you felt the need to share your “youthful” looks on this thread?i don’t understand how it contributes. Do you just want validation on your looks?

I didn’t say I looked youthful. I just asked what everyone thought. Other posters did as well. Anyway, I apologize if I have hurt anyone. No,
I really do not need validation:)

I agree Duck90 - it shows an incredible lack of awareness.

Emmmie you did say you think you look younger. So I still think you are attention seeking. I’m not disagreeing with others thinking you look lovely. But that is what you are fishing for.

Excuse me, but my picture is NOT filtered! It was taken on my phone with no adjustments. How fucking rude. You can clearly see my eye bags ( the bane of my life).Here's another - different night- and it's not filtered either. Ffs.

60s

And, yes, I do like that lipstick! Same one in 3 photos- overkill or what? Must try out some new ones.

Ok I’m going to do this because it was my birthday today ( well yesterday now- Saturday ) and I have mixed feelings of how I look and i need to lose a lot of weight.

This place is brutal but I can take it.
No filters/ no make up/ scruffy hair but it’s as close up as I can find!

I know it's not filtered, Snoop, because age-wise you look similar to my friends, we're all in our mid-40's to early 50's.

Come on Mumsnetters, people don't just fall apart once they hit their 40's!

But that is what you are fishing for

As are the others who have posted photos, no?

God, you lot are brave 🤦‍♀️
