What does the average Mumsnetter look like?

I’ve been on Mumsnet for a long time (under lots of different names) and yet I still really struggle to picture what the average MNetter looks like.

I read threads about things like how most only wear tinted moisturiser and Boden clothes, and because I’m so far removed from that, I can’t picture it.

AIBU to ask you to describe the ‘stereotypical’ MNetter for me? Bonus points for celebrity/stock images for reference.

Loads more people are on mumsnet that you'd think. So it could be anyone really. The Boden stereotype has died a death now, hasn't it?

Donotgogentle · 01/10/2022 13:45

Gorgeous here.

RedToothBrush · 01/10/2022 13:45

Fuck that.

I'd like to think we were beyond stereotypes.

Threadkillacilla · 01/10/2022 13:45

This is me.

I'm 7 foot tall, with long, scaly legs (6 of them, all ending in a sharp, crab-like point). I have lasers for eyes and I mostly wear Boden. HTH x

LikeTearsInRain · 01/10/2022 13:47

I always imagine Kate Middleton types

I have no boden 😱

Tigofigo · 01/10/2022 13:49

Clothes a mix of Hush, Me + Em and supermarket ranges, Veja or Skechers, cross body leather bag

Brown layered hair just below shoulders with some highlights

5'7, Size 12-14, big boobs

Tall kids

This is what I imagine anyway 😂

CheezePleeze · 01/10/2022 13:50

I imagine everyone to be slightly overweight and a bit frumpy, wearing sensible shoes.

No idea why because I've seen many Mumsnetters and none of them looked like that 😂

Tigofigo · 01/10/2022 13:50

Oh and Seasalt or similar practical winter coat

I imagine the Joules yellow Mac

Well off the back of your question, I googled ‘who looks like me’, found this website and uploaded a pic of me. These are the results (flattered by some/not so much others…)

I've never owned boden or joules. Nor seasalt.

I don't have tall kids.

I don't have highlights.

I don't wear foundation. And rarely wear any make up at all.

I don't wear supermarket clothes.

On another note, I was amused to see this when I tried a picture of my ex

Tired

rocketfromthecrypt · 01/10/2022 14:02

If she's anything like me: tired and with a fat arse.

LOL 😂

LoisWilkersonslastnerve · 01/10/2022 14:03

According to that website I look like Melissa Mccarthy or John Belushi😂

I6344 · 01/10/2022 14:03

My hair looks like Hagrids and I dress like a tomboy. I don't own one item of Boden clothes, mainly asos/boohoo. My look is homeless chic 🤣

EmmaH2022 · 01/10/2022 14:08

Short, fat, mixed race colouring, constantly fighting a losing battle with frizz.

never wear dresses or skirts or heeled shoes.

I like Seasalt, wearing a top from there now. most brands on here are too pricey for me.

I tend to imagine everyone on S&B is like Kate Middleton, Gwyneth Paltrow, or ver short but a size 6.

I do have a smiley face as a redeeming feature but have to be careful as it makes people talk to me a lot.

now developing the dents in my cheeks which I think is why people have fillers. Grr.

I think I know you 😁

the80sweregreat · 01/10/2022 14:12

I'm pretty ugly and take a terrible photo
In my head I'm gorgeous

Surtsey · 01/10/2022 14:12

Slightly frazzled round the edges, probably.

Other than that, I doubt we are much alike.
