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"?

Late thirties-early forties?

PicklePig31 · 01/07/2020 19:37

42?

Just seen the update. You look fabulous!

EugenesAxe · 01/07/2020 19:39

I reckon about 36.

AdoptedBumpkin · 01/07/2020 19:41

34?

Wheredoesthetimego1 · 01/07/2020 19:43

Honestly thought you could have been around early to mid thirties, to about 40.

You look great!

And no, as a PP suggested I didn't guess that range because I look particularly rough myself Hmm

I genuinely think OP has a youthful face and can't even put my finger on why exactly. It's not to do with her skin. I look at the photo and think of someone who was a sporty or always on the go cheerful type at school and in their 20s, who is now a bit older at 35 - 40.

I do realise there's no logical reason for this I'm just quite imaginative Grin

You look fab OP

Bumwart21 · 01/07/2020 20:00

Wow you look amazing no way do you look 50!!! Would never of guessed I'll say 38.

namechangenumber204 · 01/07/2020 20:11

33

allthesharks · 01/07/2020 20:12

There is no way you're 50! I was going to say 39 and was worried I'd guessed on the older end. You look fantastic.

20viona · 01/07/2020 20:17

You look fab I was gonna guess 37!

Persiaclementine · 01/07/2020 20:20

43 ? But very good skin for it

YoyoRiot · 01/07/2020 20:22

42

SurreyHillsGirl · 01/07/2020 20:47

50 ? !! Wow. You look much younger, mid 30s.

DodgeRainClouds · 01/07/2020 20:50

I thought late 30’s but was too worried to comment incase you were younger! You look amazing!!

ThePittz · 01/07/2020 20:53

Wow, I’m 33 and I thought you looked my age

ScissorsBike · 01/07/2020 21:25

38

BurnIt · 01/07/2020 21:26

I just asked my husband and he said 45...

I'm 45 and I thought wow he thinks I look as good as that! I thought you were about 36ish....

VettiyaIruken · 01/07/2020 21:28

You're 50?
Crikey. I would have guessed mid to late 30s.

You have a lovely smile.

Thisismytimetoshine · 01/07/2020 21:31

This is the only one of these threads I've seen where the op genuinely looks younger than her actual age.
The last one was littered with 60, a young looking 55, 62, etc and the op turned out to be 42! She really didn't look it...
You look great, op.

whitetoblerone · 01/07/2020 21:35

I never play these games as I don't want to offend anyone. I would have guessed late 30's and didn't post at the risk of being wrong and you being younger!

You look amazing. You have a lovely, kind face 🙂

Higgeldypiggeldy35 · 01/07/2020 21:39

35

OneFootintheRave · 01/07/2020 21:53

35 Smile

Flightsoffancy · 01/07/2020 21:58

I went for 32 then found out! You look fab, and really friendly and smiley too, which helps.

JRUIN · 01/07/2020 22:11

I was going to guess 40, but see above that you are actually 50. You look amazing and beautifully natural.

Duckfinger · 01/07/2020 22:17

Honest to god, how bloody old are you lot to think a clearly middle aged woman looks 30.
Is it like when policemen look younger as you get older.
You are all fucking demented. I'm 37 and if I looked like OP I'd be pretty miserable.not saying you don't look good for 50 OP but nobody can really think you look 20 years younger than you are, nobody does, 5 or 6 at a push but not 20.
I'm all for bigging up your mates but random strangers I think not. I despair of this place I really do.
