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’m 42 and sorry to say you look much older than me. I was going to guess early 60s as you have a similar level of wrinkles as my mum who is that age. Smoking really damages the skin so it’s probably down to that. However, you Are lovely and slim, which is something I can’t say about myself!

Marnie76 · 19/01/2020 07:27

@Inappropriatefemale 54. You’re very attractive. The jawline and crease around your mouth are what make me think early to mid fifties

BayandBlonde · 19/01/2020 07:27

@RumbleDoll

Probably about 50 and looking fab, but you like you've just done the horses so add ten years Wink

ZaraW · 19/01/2020 07:28

I'd be more concerned about smoking and quitting for health reasons rather than seeking validation from strangers on the internet.

Inappropriatefemale · 19/01/2020 07:29

Marnie I’m 38!! Most people irl think I’m about 33 so I’ll just take it that my photo isn’t the most flattering, I don’t believe I look that age but I’ll accept that you do!

Marnie76 · 19/01/2020 07:31

Oh no sorry. It is early so probably my eyes rather than your photo.

DavetheCat2001 · 19/01/2020 07:32

Surely posting posed pics with a ton of filters added defeats the object if you want an honest answer, no? 🤷‍♀️

Casino218 · 19/01/2020 07:33

Have you ever smoked op? I would have said 50 odd but if you smoke that ages you.

Inappropriatefemale · 19/01/2020 07:34

I think the OP looked younger without the filters which is crazy as they’re meant to do the opposite.

MaggieAndHopey · 19/01/2020 07:35

You've got lovely eyes and a nice smile @Cyclelover.

HomeTheatreSystem · 19/01/2020 07:39

I was going to say 47 based on your unfiltered photo.

The series "10 Years Younger" from way back when showed me that accurately guessing someone's age is not that easy!

24hourshomeedderandcarer · 19/01/2020 07:41

no offense but you look years older than me

ive just turned 39 and you say your only a few years older.you could pass for my mother tbh

as you have asked for honesty you look older than my 59 y old mother

ByeFeliciaa · 19/01/2020 07:43

Aw I'll take them Grin

Figgygal · 19/01/2020 07:45

Oof some of these guesses are harsh

But yes way more than 42
Sorry

Inappropriatefemale · 19/01/2020 07:46

ByeFeliciaa so I take it your older than the guesses? Lucky thing you!Grin

DavetheCat2001 · 19/01/2020 07:47

Hiw do I put a permanent filter on my pics then...? 🤔

Asking for a friend, obvs 😁

Inappropriatefemale · 19/01/2020 07:50

Botox! Fillers!

SirChing · 19/01/2020 07:50

What about me? Please ignore scraggly hair which is due a cut! Grin [Image deleted by MNHQ at OP's request]

CatsGoPurrrr · 19/01/2020 07:50

Hi OP

I agree with PP that your hair and makeup is a bit dated. Why not head over to the Style and Beauty section for advice?

Teateaandmoretea · 19/01/2020 07:51

You don't look mid-60s that's nuts. I think you look older than 42 though personally although it's hard to tell from photographs.

BlueWonder · 19/01/2020 07:53

58 - it's the texture around the mouth area causing me to say that. Not being mean, just what 50's is like. Unless it's the filter? Or have you ever smoked?

Inappropriatefemale · 19/01/2020 07:55

@SirChing mid 40s

spongejack · 19/01/2020 07:56

72?

good2no · 19/01/2020 07:57

Can anyone tell me how old and pretty I look?

(PS my mental age is about 10).

Cambionome · 19/01/2020 07:57

SirChing early 30s.
