I can't believe Liz Truss is 47..

Following on from a thread yesterday, I guessed Liz was 56. I was shocked to hear she's a decade younger. I guess I am being unreasonable. It was probably the photo of her having a meeting wearing comfy trainers that did it. How old would you have guessed she was?

Erm yes! People have widely mocked and ridiculed how he looked and questioned if he's capable because he can't even seem to brush his hair.

That was about his grooming not his looks.

I can't stand Truss and I think she's incompetent and dangerous but I couldn't give a fuck about how old she looks.

Crazykatie · 08/10/2022 09:50

I didn’t know her age, she looks an old 46, the way she walks isn’t lively and I guess she worries a lot. Many of us look younger or older than our years, I’m lucky I can pass for 8 or 10 yrs younger.

I’d have said mid 50s too.

She looks years older than Penny Mordaunt though, who is 49.

If you compare faces, she doesn't. They have similar lines under their eyes and their mouth. Their chin/jowl looseness is the same. The difference is choice of clothing (which we shouldn't be attacking women for) and movement. Truss might have health issues and shouldn't be criticised for them. As for wearing comfy trainers, young women are picking flats over heals. We shouldn't be forcing women into heels. Trainers and dresses are a lot of women's go to, especially the under 40's.

Sooty, it wasn't just his grooming! Have you seen the caricatures of him and my link. Those of Liz, and other politicians, aren't flattering, but Boris was commonly depicted semi naked. I've never seen such criticism and mockery of looks and body.

If she had Botox and dressed in younger trendier clothes people would slate her for that. As a woman it seems you can't win, age naturally and get slated or have some help and get called fake.

the80sweregreat · 08/10/2022 09:55

She looks a bit older , but in much less formal clothes I think she would look her age.

RovenderKitt · 08/10/2022 09:55

What has how she looks got to do with anything?

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 08/10/2022 09:56

Says a lot about you OP that you judge a woman on her looks. I bet you're no oil painting.

MyCatIsAChonk · 08/10/2022 09:56

Are you always such an arsehole op?

StopStreet · 08/10/2022 09:58

I hate her policies but she looks young and attractive to me.

Also it just adds to what women face already. The extra pressure to not age at work.

Am1beingUnreasonable · 08/10/2022 10:00

Oh great, women tearing down other women over looks 🤣

I do hope each and every one of you being shitty about her age on here look like goddesses and never use any insta filters cus you’re so perfect.

🤮 you’re all gross, brain dead misogynists who have fallen into the male trap. Grim.

MyCatIsAChonk · 08/10/2022 10:00

She looks her age. You probably assumed she was older due to the fact that most people haven't reached the pinnacle of their careers before 50. No shame in that. And I don't even like her.

Butitsnotfunnyisititsserious · 08/10/2022 10:00

It does. There's nothing wrong with a woman choosing to grow old naturally and not have botox etc to try And slow the physical signs of aging. No one should be judged on their looks.

Ponoka7 · 08/10/2022 10:00

These look like a woman in her late 40's. She's got a delicate look, which when compared to some different looks, possibly could look older, if your so inclined to have an opinion on how women should look. Looking somber enough to reflect the Queen's death was probably tough going.

...by any margin incredibly successful. She is Prime Minister!

Is she fuck "incredibly successful" 😂 She's the puppet of the vile arseholes who've put her there for their own benefit.

By your measure of "incredibly successful" a mugger who gets away with an old lady's purse is "incredibly successful" as they've achieved what they set out to do (or were sent to do).

She's an utter cunt and the sooner she is out of that job and, hopefully, in prison with the rest of them for the wilful damage they've done to the country and economy - including illegal collusion with bankers - for their own benefit the better.

inheritanceshiteagain · 08/10/2022 10:02

She looks her age but dresses much older and of course being PM is associated with older people

LikeTearsInRain · 08/10/2022 10:03

She needs a good skincare routine

VampiresWife · 08/10/2022 10:03

Her policies are vile and completely ripe for discussion/outrage.

Her age/clothes/comfy shoes are absolutely irrelevant, and speculating on those subjects is a distraction from the above. Not to mention loaded with misogynistic undertones.

Were you dragged up in a barn?

Possibly the least eloquent attempt at putting forward an argument I’ve ever heard.

You don’t strike me as someone I should listen to on political or economic matters when you appear unable to string a sentence together.

PinkPlantCase · 08/10/2022 07:22

Judge her for her politics not how old she does or doesn’t look.

Most women in their 40s who are on tv would have had Botox, in public eye we really don’t see many women who age naturally.

I agree about judging her on her politics not her age.

But that's not going to help my comments about her.

She's shit Grin

AsAnyFuleKno · 08/10/2022 10:06

For goodness sake - I hate everything she stands for, but her appearance is irrelevant. She looks perfectly normal for a woman of her age, I say this as someone of the same age.

VestaTilley · 08/10/2022 10:06

I hugely dislike her, but we shouldn’t be commenting on her appearance.

To be fair, there is a third option. Resist Botox and the like while being naturally beautiful and youthful. Easy!
