What does the average Mumsnetter look like?

[UsernameNotAvailableApparently]

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.

If you ask me we are a bunch of anxious introverts!

Hahahah not far off @Romeoalpha

This is a recent photo of me in my yellow Joules coat and a Boden dress.

You're probably right. So many middle aged men do seem to have joined lately.

That made me laugh 😂

I imagine the posh, slightly bossy PTA mums. I'm not remotely like that so I don't know why I think that.

Haha! I've met quite a few mumsnetters in real life over the years and can report that they are a mixed bunch, from all walks of life.

Another tired with fat arse here. Although I do have a tall child.

Like this apparently. Obviously I'm much more glamorous in my pjs

I think everyone looks like some version of these ladies...

This is not my style at all but now I've reached 50 I think I should possibly be dressing more like that (whatever"that" is??) but I wouldn't even know where to start.

I have never worn an artfully twisted neck scarf in my life nor a striped Boden top with a natty little blazer and straight leg jeans. It's like a uniform for a club I will never be able to enter because I just can't walk away from my beloved oversized hoodie and comfy trainers combo. They will be wheeling me into my care home still wearing my Nike Airs haaaaaa

*I won't tell you what I wrote in Google to get these images 😬

I imagine her as a slim blonde woman driving two blonde primary school age kids to a private school in a 4x4. The kids are both wearing those straw hats that only private schools seem to bother with.

Dunno about anyone else but I’m slightly overweight, greying hair, jeans and a blue jumper and no make-up! I’m 45 and mostly I look like I ought to be wearing wellies 😂

I used that website with a photo of me after professional make-up application, and it said Benedict Cumberbatch.

According to that website I look like Sandra Oh or Kim Jong Un. Although I am white and look absolutely nothing like them.

Lucy and Yak dungarees, stripy shirt from H and M, a dark green Aran sweater bought several years ago from a charity shop, old leather Converse somewhat falling apart, no make up greying long hair in a loose pony tail

and size 12

Me. On a good day.

🤣 It told me I looked like David Beckham.

Other than skin colour, everything DB is - I am the complete opposite 🤣

In the Late 80s and my now Dh told me I resembled Cybil Shepherd. If you squinted.
These days I just resemble a fat shepherd that's been out with his dog and the sheep for a day over muddy fields. That's on a good day.
I do have a tall son.

@YanTanTetheraPetheraPimp

hahaha 😂 I feel how that bird look almost 90% of the time
I’m sure that why no one talks to me I get stares when I enter the playground at drop off and pick up 🥳

I've been on Mumsnet off and on for 14 years. Today is a busy Saturday so I'm dressed for practicality:

black M&S straight jeans, a Celtic & Co jumper over a grey t-shirt, and black, heeled ankle boots. Not too scruffy for a weekend. 5'8", size 10, grey eyeliner, peachy shimmer eyeshadow and brown mascara. Short cropped brown hair.

Gold stud earrings and a few laughter lines around my eyes. Generally good humoured and up for a laugh, which I hope shows. 😊

Funny, I always picture more Hyacinth Bucket and desperately aspirational types. lower middle class or on benefits

@Cheeselog That's very like a 37 year old version of me- now 60 so add3 stone , a frown and quite a lot more lines!! Wrap over dresses, leggings, Skechers or boots and various padded coats/jackets

Tall fat ex-goth with an awful lot of menopausal body and facial hair, wearing a mix of Primark and charity shop clothes. But perfect goths hair, nails and eyebrows, so there's that.

I don't shop in Waitrose though. We don't have one here. And I've used food banks in the past, I make my own laundry detergent, sometimes my own clothes, but I definitely can't make a chicken last more than two meals.

And my washing doesn't get darked on. I'm too tired to hang washing out.

I usually imagine medium length curly hair, boden/joules or aging hippyish vibes, well spoken, quite happily married or onto second marriage, 2 kids (any more would be destroying the planet) have their lives pretty much together.

Personally I’ve long dark hair, facial fillers (shoot me now I know it’s a sin), a fair amount of tattoos, wear mainly black, northern, few kids, single, recovering addict and winging it constantly
