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

Shit, sorry op i cross posted

MillicentMartha · 18/01/2020 20:56

You look a bit older than 42 but I’d guess you are a smoker?

BertsFriend · 18/01/2020 20:56

Yes, I believe you're 42, based on the unfiltered photo. You look lovely!

Woody479 · 18/01/2020 20:56

Yes I can believe you’re 42. I bet you’re a size 8 and I bet you like to sunbathe.

Don’t let the silly replies on here get inside your head. You’re pretty and you’re stylish.

@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.

As a few people have said though, a snapchat filter pic AND a blurry grainy pic isn't helping.

I would still put you at mid to late 50s. (Sorry.) Blush

Nanna50 · 18/01/2020 20:57

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

I would believe you but think you look older.

ThinkPink71 · 18/01/2020 20:57

You look lovely without the filters :)

Some mean people on here!! xx

CassidyStone · 18/01/2020 20:57

Are these your photos, OP, or have you lifted them from someone else's instagram/facebook page? None of the photos are recent. Post a selfie now with a date stamp on it. Otherwise some people may think you are enticing people to mock some poor woman who has no idea her appearance is being discussed on an open message board.

DementedO1 · 18/01/2020 20:57

Op I came on to say early 40s after your unfiltered pic but you beat me to it. Lose the filters, you look better without them x

SpeckledyHen · 18/01/2020 20:57

55?

Elbeagle · 18/01/2020 20:57

My mum is 59 and I was going to say you look a couple of years older than her, then I saw you’re 42.
Do you smoke? Sunbathe a lot?

LeekMunchingSheepShagger · 18/01/2020 20:57

I was going to say 47-50.

Cyclelover · 18/01/2020 20:58

I am a smoker yes (hopefully not for long) but I don't use sunbeds.

OK, having seen the photo with no filters, to be honest, no, I don't think many people would believe you are 42, sorry Sad Blush

However, you are an attractive woman, and very slim, so fuck it!

Do you smoke OP? I was going to say you have "runners face" but then noticed your username. I think for some of us, as we get older, it is a case of arse or face. Obviously not for everyone.....

Ipdipdogshituratit · 18/01/2020 20:58

No I don't believe you're 42.
I asked OH and he said late 50's.
Are you 42 OP?

Lilybetsey · 18/01/2020 20:58

55

SoftSheen · 18/01/2020 20:58

60

user32564567 · 18/01/2020 20:58

OP, you won't be allowed on MN unless you look 10 years younger than you really are.

Tellingitlikeitisnt · 18/01/2020 20:58

45 but you are a smoker I reckon

Anyway who gives a shit OP? You are alive and I hope happy and living life so sod anyone else!

DesLynamsMoustache · 18/01/2020 20:59

I think you could easily shed a few years by changing your hair. It's too 'young' and processed IMO, and conversely that makes you look older. A new do would take years off you IMO!

SoloMummy · 18/01/2020 20:59

57?

Hoping you're not the mum nan thread poster!

VividImagination · 18/01/2020 20:59

I’m 55 and you have a lot more lines and wrinkles than I have but I’m fat and I think that smooths our the wrinkles. Do you smoke? Your hair looks younger than mine but I’m quite grey.
