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

Mid 50's?

CassidyStone · 18/01/2020 20:47

Post a photo that's not been adjusted in any way. I'm guessing you are probably in your 30's if that's your child in the second photo, but people think you are a decade or so older?

Choice4567 · 18/01/2020 20:47

50

Lipperfromchipper · 18/01/2020 20:47

Well what age are you OP??

BlouseAndSkirt · 18/01/2020 20:47

No idea, need a 'normal' photo.

Yadaaday · 18/01/2020 20:47

Oh god these threads make me cringe!

Watch the OP come back and say she’s just turned 30 😬

GertiMJN · 18/01/2020 20:47

Photos with filtets play tricks with people's perception. Your brain tries to redo what it thinks has been altered and can create an image far worse than the the original!!

Why on earth did you start this thread.

I'm sure you look great Flowers

Sparkle567 · 18/01/2020 20:47

That second picture has also got a snap chat filter on.

To get any real answers you need to upload a non filtered photo.

I’d say without all the filters as they make you look better.. early 60s.

Herpesfreesince03 · 18/01/2020 20:47

Can’t you just take a normal photo of yourself right now? It’s impossible to guess from those pics

Sally2791 · 18/01/2020 20:47

55

PegasusReturns · 18/01/2020 20:48

The filters make it virtually impossible.

I’d say late 50s but possibly a bit younger if you’re a heavy smoker or have lost a lot of weight recently.

GertiMJN · 18/01/2020 20:48

Filters obviously not filtets!!

Paddyodoors · 18/01/2020 20:48

I'd say around 48 to 55.

BlouseAndSkirt · 18/01/2020 20:48

OP - you look lovely, but I always think very processed hair and make up makes people look older than they are.

Cyclelover · 18/01/2020 20:48

Ok no filter, sorry! I'm a sucker for filters Blush

So what is your age and who offended you, OP?

Pipandmum · 18/01/2020 20:49

She wants to know how the filters are working, not what age she looks like in real life. I guessed mid 60s as I'm 57 and she has deeper wrinkles.

NC4this123 · 18/01/2020 20:49

I think 56

rwalker · 18/01/2020 20:50

52

Didntwanttochangemyname · 18/01/2020 20:50

The two photos you've posted so far make me think these photos are not of you. Surely you can just take a selfie and post it without any filters?

Chubby1245 · 18/01/2020 20:50

48

Notthetoothfairy · 18/01/2020 20:50

I think 48 (and a smoker).

Wildorchidz · 18/01/2020 20:50

50s

Janus · 18/01/2020 20:50

I’d say about 60, maybe very late 50s like 58??

Nicknacky · 18/01/2020 20:50

In all honesty does it matter what age strangers the ink you are? And if you are offended by one person then hundreds getting it wrong aren’t going to help!
