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 think you look goodwhatever age you are

Even if op is 23?Grin

Cyclelover · 18/01/2020 20:52

Yes it's definitely me. I've cropped and scribbled out DH and the child. It was a rushed job!

Would you believe me if I told you I was 42?

Cross posted. You look so much nicer in the unfiltered photo.

TigerOnATrain · 18/01/2020 20:53

@Cyclelover Hard to tell with filters... (WHY?! why put a pic with filters? ) Confused

But I would say 54 to 58 y.o.

Sparklesocks · 18/01/2020 20:53

Ahh OP these threads aren’t a good idea as you’ll always get some answers you don’t want to hear!

readingismycardio · 18/01/2020 20:53

Early 50s? So how old are you OP?

expatinspain · 18/01/2020 20:53

Around 55.

Cyclelover · 18/01/2020 20:53

Thank you for the kind compliments, I appreciate them x

It could be a photo of anyone though. These threads shouldn't be allowed.

Traffy · 18/01/2020 20:53

Are all these your photos OP or have you taken them from someone else's FB profile pictures?

SquashedFlyBiscuit · 18/01/2020 20:53

I dont think you're 42, no

ThePluckOfTheCoward · 18/01/2020 20:54

Around 63.

Ritascornershop · 18/01/2020 20:54

Very hard to tell with the filter, I’d guess late 50’s maybe.

CallofDoodee · 18/01/2020 20:54

I think the person in the photos is about 55.

However, I agree with the PP who said that you are not the person in the photos and you are looking through a FB profile for pics. If it were you, you would just take a selfie and post it.

Odd.....

ShoesandmoreShoes · 18/01/2020 20:54

Would you believe me if I told you I was 42?

No. 50's-60's.

brittabot · 18/01/2020 20:54

Early 50’s. You look so much younger and better in your unfiltered photo by the way.

I hope you’re ok. Please don’t ask the internet for positive reinforcement as you probably won’t get it.

Nuttyaboutnutella · 18/01/2020 20:54

I'll say late 40s

Thankgoodness1 · 18/01/2020 20:54

56 but why the filter if you want an accurate answer?

Casmama · 18/01/2020 20:55

I think about 55 but could be 5 years either way, possibly younger but if so then i suspect a smoker and sunworshipper.
I hope you are not offended OP - these threads never end well.

Whoremione · 18/01/2020 20:55

You look lovely without the stupid filters but it's a grainy photo from a great distance and no one can tell how old you look. It could be 38, it could be 62. This is a weird thread. What are you trying to achieve?

TigerOnATrain · 18/01/2020 20:55

@Cyclelover Just seen update/new pic.

You do look older than 42, sorry OP.

Do you smoke? Do you use sunbeds? Do you spend a lot of time outside? What's your job?

Coz something is ageing your prematurely.

4amWitchingHour · 18/01/2020 20:55

@Cyclelover - yes, I would believe you. Once you'd posted the unfiltered photo I was going to say early 40s. The filters do you no favours!

loveliesbleeding1 · 18/01/2020 20:55

No, not 42 and I hope you haven’t lifted these pictures from someone else’s profile.

CallofDoodee · 18/01/2020 20:56

Would you believe me if I told you I was 42?

Ummm............

Cyclelover · 18/01/2020 20:56

I'm not offended, a little disheartened at some guesses but not offended. If anybody missed my last post I said I'm 42.

Yes they are my photos!
