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

Cute is for babies and small animals. Not grown women.

I wish I was cute. I’ve got BRF I’ll never be cute Angry

74NewStreet · 19/01/2020 14:15

What’s BRF? No adult is cute, they really aren’t.

SirChing · 19/01/2020 14:18

Apologies thread police, I should have clarified that the mental image that I have of @WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles is a cute one.

Hope that passes muster!

I think adults can be cute. I work with a 30 year old woman who just has a naturally 'cute' look although it's difficult to put into words and probably different in everyone's minds.

I can also think of a few boy band members who are cute imo.

74NewStreet · 19/01/2020 14:26

Well of course you’re going to argue, Worra, I’d be amazed if you hadn’t Grin

Sadiee88 · 19/01/2020 14:29

Bitchy resting face. My friend is cute, I can’t post a photo obviously but she is!

paintedfences · 19/01/2020 14:30

Agree, adults can be 'cute'. I reckon it's a combination of heart face shape, big eyes and rounded or high cheeks - reminiscent of children, so... 'cute'.

WorraLiberty · 19/01/2020 14:35

Well of course you’re going to argue, Worra, I’d be amazed if you hadn’t Grin

Argue with who though?

If you mean you you need to get over yourself Wink

If you mean argue the point, then why wouldn't I if I think the opposite?

SirChing · 19/01/2020 14:39

They would also look cute if they resembled a tiny alien crossed with a potato. IMO obviously.

I have a friend who looks exactly like a female elf. She is cute. It's the big eyes and button nose. I shall tell her that she can't possibly be an adult as adults can't be cute. Bit embarrassed that I bought a 30th birthday present for a child now, but she didn't seem to mind the Gin.

WeBuiltCisCityOnSexistRoles · 19/01/2020 14:53

I am very small.

JaneJeffer · 19/01/2020 15:03

Katy Puckrick is a cute adult Grin

ZaraW · 19/01/2020 15:05

It had to happen this post is now being discussed on Reddit. The same thing happened back in 2017 when people posted fishing for compliments and it didn't go the way they were expecting.

Inappropriatefemale · 19/01/2020 15:12

Link please!

steff13 · 19/01/2020 15:15

yes I am suspicious that it's not your picture to be honest

Why?

ZaraW · 19/01/2020 15:17

www.reddit.com/user/LeatherTadpole not sure if this will work...

Chikkitikka · 19/01/2020 15:17

OldGrinch you remind me of a youtuber called colleen ballinger. You look great at 52 that lip colour is great on you x

Inappropriatefemale · 19/01/2020 15:18

Read it!

Sadiee88 · 19/01/2020 15:27

@fatisnotafeeling around 30? I think you look cute! The fringe & the button nose!

Oblomov20 · 19/01/2020 15:28

Sorry OP, but you do look older than your age. I am 5 years older than you and like you, have thin hair which is ageing. I don't have bad wrinkles but I've always had hooded eyes.

But seriously, why worry about these things? What can you do? Nothing!

doadeer · 19/01/2020 15:29

@fatisnotafeeling about 37?

ambereeree · 19/01/2020 15:31

@fatisnotafeeling I would say around 40
