What does the average Mumsnetter look like?

UsernameNotAvailableApparently · 01/10/2022 13:43

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.

Can't speak for the MNers, but the moderation staff are fauns.

I did the 'who looks like me' with 3 different photos and apparently I feature Avril Lavigne

Sally from Coronation Street

I imagine stocky and sturdy, middle aged, middle class, greying hair, no make up and loud and opinionated and bossy as hell.

EmeraldShamrock1 · 01/10/2022 19:51

I doubt there is a particular type though over the years I've built up an idea on what some Mn look like according to their description of themselves on different threads.

I look like fat pre facelift Catherine Zeta Jones. I’m a teetotal alcoholic because I once sniffed a Malibu and pineapple and had a hangover for 3 weeks. I have that yellow fishing trawler raincoat from Joules (I really do!) and I say, ‘Are you on glue?’ a lot. I’m a lawyer, obviously, and my husband is a cocklodger, but a wealthy one.

I look like the original Tomb Raider model 30 years on if she really let herself go, put on a few pounds, couldn't be bothered to dye her hair as often as she should & shopped at Seasalt or Celtic & co after ditching the short shorts & guns look.

I imagine everyone else on here looks like the Posh Family from Catherine Tate

Hilarious !

Smileeriley · 01/10/2022 19:54

I'm very attractive, which is not allowed on Mumsnet.

Yes I agree Motherland probably covers most of the people that ping into my head. I don’t think actual posh people use MN much because they are always busy.

Except for the Scots contingent. I always imagine them as angry, fierce and short mostly based on my very lovely work colleague.

I'm Scottish and I'm angry, fierce and quite short, so you're are at least part right ✅️ 😅

Notlosinganyweight · 01/10/2022 21:02

I think a large proportion of MN are grandmas now, so 55-70. Bit frumpy, but don't realise it. Outdoorsy. Bit irritable, but honest.

I will be there in 15 years. Already managed the frumpy bit.

@Cheeselog are you from Reading?🤣

I am indeed. Of course, with my six legs and articulated exoskeleton I don't look much like the average MNer 😂

Oh this thread has made me laugh! I tried one of those sites that says what famous person you look like. I got this:

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 😬

Is that one in the purple Liz Truss?

ohhelldoi · 01/10/2022 21:49

@Blocked haaaaaaaaa she does look a bit Trussish
Liz Truss would pair that look with a "conservative blue" blazer and a discreet broach on the lapel - her smart casual look for when she's out meeting the plebs

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 have spent too long on the link and have tried it on my whole family Shock

Gonna try this now!

First 3 I got (on the what celeb do I look like? app,) were Natasha Henstridge, Yvonne Strahovski, and Bridget Marquardt. Only heard of Natasha tbh, and had to google the other 2. Must be more famous in America/Canada.

Not a bad likeness. There are a few similarities between me and these 3.

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

That's me! Blush

I got a load of Koreans, which is bizarre because I’m white British.
