can I play the "how old am I game"?

[boredofironing]

I was talking with some friends lately about how old we looked. I got a very wide age range! So we decided I would be brave enough to ask mumsnet!!! Go ahead - I won't be offended!

38

I would have guessed 40. You look so happy in this photo. A thread that turned out well for an OP...🤩

Well I just thought I’d check on the post before going to bed - wow! Thanks so much everyone.
FYI - My hair is dyed, I have 2 kids, and I definitely drink alcohol!!

I'm 35 in October and think you look older than me. 42 - 47

34

42

You look great OP, would not have guessed 50 at all!
Also, I’ve always believed it’s genes that are the biggest factor in aging gracefully. Sad that people still believe for those who age well it is solely down to a very special diet, high maintenance routine, no alcohol etc
Beauty/aging well is not a meritocracy

Wow! I’d have guessed 40 tops.

44

Definitely 38 Iv studied you and I think I’m right 🤣

Your jawline is incredibly taut. I would have said no older than 35. You must have avoided the sun.

I guessed 35, as couldn't see any lines, well hope you have a great upcoming birthday.
It would be great if Clairns and/or Olay send you a truckload of their creams. Wishing you another great 50 years 💞

I hope to look half as good as you when I hit 50, OP. Not looking good for me though! Keep smiling! And give up ironing!

Is there a particular reason that's caused you to post this, OP?

Like having had a cosmetic procedure or hit a "special" birthday?

I'd be terrified of posting a photograph of myself and asking how old I looked. And, tbh, I think I look okay.
I wouldn't want to be patronised with the "Are you 35 OP?" when I know I don't look it, and on the other side of the spectrum there's always going to be the "73?" joker.

You look fine. And cheerful.
But I always look at the neck.
Necks are bastards.

That nasty last remark referred the OPs neck looked anything other than absolutely great 🙄

*inferred

I can't see anything wrong with her neck! Looks as good as her face to me.
I think OP must be an intrinsically happy person who smiles a lot as she has no frown lines.

Other women’s bitchiness against each other just never fails to amaze me.

Wow, I would have thought 38-40. That said I can't see your neck- they are the best way to tell!

Why do you need to ‘tell’?

Absolutely nothing wrong with your neck, ignore that poster. You look amazingly youthful for your age

Oh wow I was going to say 35ish! You look great.

Missed the update. I got it right more or less. You look good op.
