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!

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

Do you drink tea/coffee/alcohol?

WokusPocus · 01/07/2020 15:51

Holy shit OP, I was going to say like 33/34! You do look fantastic. I love this thread - normally everyone guesses in the region of OP’s age - this one was a legit shocker! Hope I look half as good as you at the same age Grin

Littlebyerockerboo · 01/07/2020 15:57

just seen the update and stared at your photo for a while! I am in my very early 30s and I think i look way older than you!
Bloody hell, op.
Watching for your drip feed secrets now Grin lighthearted

Whats your diet like?
Water intake? Fizzy pop? Sugar? Etc etc lol.

Ive just ate a load of shit, and im a drinker and smoker... my ageing 100% down to lifestyle

sulks away to have a word with oneself

Laks0007 · 01/07/2020 15:57

Wow! You look fantastic! I was thinking 37Grin

fibeee · 01/07/2020 15:57

I was going to guess 38. You look fantastic OP

Bluesheep8 · 01/07/2020 15:59

Sorry but I don't believe OP is 50.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 01/07/2020 16:01

You look amazing for almost 50 OP. Fabulous skin!

I'm 8 years younger than you but look older - I blame my former smoking and sunbathing habits, and current frowning habit (I can't help that one, everything pisses me off! Grin)

Littlebyerockerboo · 01/07/2020 16:01

@Bluesheep8

Sorry but I don't believe OP is 50.
I hope you mean this is a nice way... as in

" oh my gosh, sorry you don't look 50"

Rather than how it sounds.
If it's the latter, what are you getting from calling op a liar?!

Onacleardayyoucansee · 01/07/2020 16:01

Two words.
Bone structure!

Wow, you look amazing.
Great genes.
Great smile.

boredofironing · 01/07/2020 16:03

Well, this is all very boosting for my self confidence. Thank you.
I don't smoke or take drugs, but do drink tea, coffee and alcohol. For health reasons about 5 years ago I went caffeine free with tea and coffee. I eat meat, don't really exercise other than walking the dogs a few times a week. I'm overweight, which I do think helps fill in the wrinkles!!

38

I was going to say 38.

Shit the bed you look amazing for 50! Shock

" oh my gosh, sorry you don't look 50"*

I did mean it this way, I was doing 2 things at the same time. I can see how what I wrote could seem as though I meant the other way, apologies!

Idontlikewednesdays · 01/07/2020 16:14

Mid to late 30’s. I can’t believe people have guessed mid 40’s! Your skin is amazing 😉

That is why I did ask which way you meant! Sometimes when you're typing it reads so wrong from how you mean it! I get things wrong when I'm talking, never mind when I'm typing!
quietlyspoken08 · 01/07/2020 16:32

Wow! I was going to guess 33 or under you look amazing Grin

Bluesheep8 · 01/07/2020 16:38

Littlebyerockerboo

I should know better, I misinterpret texts all the time. They don't allow any intonation and I'm regularly confused by what people mean.
It should really have read " sorry but op cannot possibly be 50!!" But then I suppose even that's open to interpretation I guess....

purplelila2 · 01/07/2020 16:41

45?

Tentatively · 01/07/2020 16:58

I was going to guess 40 but wondered if I was a bit high with that guess. You look very young for your age OP. Beautiful skin and smile.

PurplePansy05 · 01/07/2020 17:03

I was going to say 30. Fair play, OP Grin 👏

Duckfinger · 01/07/2020 17:06

You lot take the piss.
OP you do look good for 50 but honestly nobody would put you at less than 45. Anybody who says different is just being polite or look incredibly rough themselves.

Eckhart · 01/07/2020 17:08

Blimey. I was going to say 36.

I'm guessing you don't drink, smoke, or worry? Wink
