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

60s or late 50s if you're a smoker Anyone saying younger is saving your blushes. I'm 48 with sisters 54 and 60 so I have a pretty good knowledge of women in that range.

Ah sorry seen the updates- yes it’s the fags OP they age the skin terribly

In addition you appear very slim and that can be bad for the face even if good for the arse!

BarbaraofSeville · 18/01/2020 21:00

Would you believe me if I told you I was 42

Sorry no. You're the sort of person who I look at and think 'I'm 46 and you look at least a decade older than me' which puts you at late 50s early 60s.

Plus the St George's filter puts you firmly in the Brexit voting Daily Mail reading demographic, which starts around that age, although I'm always baffled as to why any women buy that rag.

GladAllOver · 18/01/2020 21:00

Smoking and cycling out in the weather will have aged your face. I believe your 42 but you do look older.

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 18/01/2020 21:01

12?

Because that you are behaving like it.

I'm 94 and you look older than me. I still get asked for ID in Tesco.

BlackOfHeart · 18/01/2020 21:02

60

willothewispa · 18/01/2020 21:02

Still think mid 60s.

Singsongbird · 18/01/2020 21:02

I was going to guess 45. The unfiltered photo is far nicer.

Justonemorepiece · 18/01/2020 21:03

I said late 40s early 50s.
It's the smoking that has aged your skin.
I have the same problem Wink

willothewispa · 18/01/2020 21:03

42? No, you look older than me and I'm 55.

StoneofDestiny · 18/01/2020 21:03

Mid 60's

That was exactly what I thought!

lljkk · 18/01/2020 21:04

It's not an insult to look older than your age.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 18/01/2020 21:04

Hard to say with all the "stuff", but I'd guess about my age - a bit younger - so 62/63?

If so, you look better for your age than I do.

vadam · 18/01/2020 21:04

Look late 50s/early 60s

Snoopdogsbitch · 18/01/2020 21:04

I'll say it- I'm shocked that you're 42. I'm 48, look my age, and you look 10 years older than me. You've not treated your skin well, it seems.

U2HasTheEdge · 18/01/2020 21:04

Much younger without the filters.

You are very pretty.

Socksey · 18/01/2020 21:04

Hards to say with filters but 60s.....

dirtyrottenscoundrel · 18/01/2020 21:04

Mid 50’s.
