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

Tricky...45?

OH, I haven't got a clue. I don't know anything about filters and such, and why are you asking about how old you look. are your specs real or just some for the photo.. But really can't hazard a guess as for your age.. You could be anywhere between 20, and 45, so go with 27 ha ha

NiceGuyNeddie · 19/01/2020 01:34

That was to Zoflora

Zoflorabore · 19/01/2020 01:37

Thanks for reply Smile will see if anyone else responds... the first number is right!

Creepster · 19/01/2020 01:52

Middle sixties.

elizalovelace · 19/01/2020 01:59

OP you look about 60, the fags arent helping your looks...neither are the filters. Emmie you look mid 30s. Zoflora...40. I really hope I haven't offended anyone.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 19/01/2020 02:12

The posters saying late 50s and 60s are arseholes.

Why? The OP asked people to say how old she looks. I don't think answering honestly makes us arseholes.

Bloodless · 19/01/2020 02:13

40s

Ritascornershop · 19/01/2020 02:18

I’d we’re still talking about the original photo (or her follow up), I wasn’t being deliberately rude, I was giving my honest answer. Comparing her to my aging process (I’m in my 50’s, non-smoker, sun-avoider) I figured she was a bit older. We all age differently though, but you can’t expect to ask something like that and have a consensus of ego-bolstering.

Bloodless · 19/01/2020 02:21

Just seeing your update about age now OP, I was right - I think you look your age and not any older. Can’t believe some of the answers 🤔

Though I’m a makeup artist so used to looking at faces in that way, so that may be why I’m accurate. You have a beautiful face 🙂 (and better without filter) xx

StudentHelp · 19/01/2020 02:23

I’d say around 60

StudentHelp · 19/01/2020 02:24

Sorry, just seen your actual age, OP.
Didn’t RTFT

MiniGuinness · 19/01/2020 02:28

The first picture you posted may not have used filters but it was really blurry compared to the one you just posted snoopdogsbitch.

BritWifeinUSA · 19/01/2020 02:31

Late 50s

EurghRedface · 19/01/2020 02:55

Op you do look older. I would thicken the fringe or grow it out. The bleach blonde is aging. Get some multi coloured low lights. I would get a small amount of lip fillers to add volume, few areas of Botox and filler for volume in nasolabial lines and cheeks. Will bring you back down to your age. Use some thickening hair products.

dontgobaconmyheart · 19/01/2020 03:04

Do people actually realise that a filter...isn't actually what you look like? Confused. The normal camera on my phone auto selects a very subtle face augmentation/skin amoothing/eye largening setting. Bit worrying that people probably have this on hald the time and think they are looking at their 'unfiltered' face and wondering why they look better than usual. You have to go in the settings to turn it off on mine, which I did when I bought it and noticed it was making my eyes very very slightly larger- so disturbing. Havent yet seen any pics of anyone that looks much under 40- and there is bloody nothing wrong with that Confused. Ageing is normal and looking young doesnt mean you're de factor good looking so who cares how old you look....

Thankgoodness1 · 19/01/2020 04:31

I agree. It’s like there’s a phobia of ageing. Who cares if you’re in your 40s but you look a little older. You’re still a beautiful woman.

JolieOBrien · 19/01/2020 04:56

Late 50s ... do you smoke?

JolieOBrien · 19/01/2020 04:58

Sorry I just saw your real age ... I think its the lines around your mouth which made me think older .

DisinterestedParty · 19/01/2020 05:17

The hair and the smoking age you a lot.

Do something about those and you'll look younger.

Do you spend a lot of time in the sun too?

Coughy4u · 19/01/2020 05:25

I love this thread.

Op i thought you were 55. I dont mean this unkindly, but looks wise whats the point of stopping ciggs now? Damage is done. It looks like you likef sunbeds too.
You could get a laser skin peel and some fillers, gain weight.

Zoflora i think 38 to 40

Zena 42

Rumble 60

Emmie i was going to guess 40 and it doesnt surprise me because lots of arab women have olive skin, avoid the sun, wear sun block and dont drink or smoke.

DisinterestedParty · 19/01/2020 05:26

Also OP, the eyeliner is really dated. Wear something less harsh around your eyes.

AllideasAndNoAction · 19/01/2020 05:34

How on earth are we supposed to tell with all those daft doe-eyed filters on?

But going by the naso-labial folds and your lips I’d say in the region of 60.

Zoflorabore · 19/01/2020 05:44

I was 42 yesterday, same as op.

I smoke way too much and need a kick up the arse regarding skincare but I’m sorting it. Thanks to those who replied.

Yeahnah2020 · 19/01/2020 05:47

Mid 50s
