To get one of the sweaters with wrong year of birth on just for the compliments?

I was born in 1980.

I fancy one of these sweaters.

I think the compliments will come rolling in that I look really fucking good for 53.

ABU that every little helps?

Are these a thing now?

70s aesthetic is finally reaching TikTok, especially with disco music.

It'll be Farrah Fawcett flicks, blue eyeliner, sugar pink lip gloss and half moon eyebrows any moment now.

I going to be annihilated here but I look really young for my age. Probably that impossible number of years younger that MN refuse to believe can happen.
I frequently get compliments or a shocked reaction when my age is revealed for whatever reason.

I've always thought it is a weird thing to knock years off your age as then surely people will think you look rough. I'm way happier with people finding out my age and thinking I look great than the other way around
I've always been puzzled by people saying they are younger than they are.

Yes I agree

im 40 and I think I look my age a lot of the time, I’m shocked when people sometimes tell me I look younger, I was told on here the other day someone thought I was 25 ish 😳 (the photo was from a year and half ago) I have a lot of mum friends on school run that are around 30-35 and I think it’s presumed I’m about the same age. I don’t see it, but yay!

I remember walking in London and seeing ripped jeans not that long ago. Made me feel old to see a fashion trend the second time around

I would laugh if you get it, and no-one says anything (as they think you do look early to mid 50s, and not early to mid 40s!) 😆

I know this is supposedly 'light hearted' but attempting to make people think you are older to get compliments is really lame. I mean, just WHY? 😂

Despite the light hearted tone, I bet the OP is serious! Grin

Also, not even 2 pages in, and already some posters are claiming they look soooo much younger than their years, and LOADS of people think they look really young! 😂 #babyface

Eh? Huh? What now? If I saw someone in a jumper with 1970 on it, I wouldn't assume someone was annoucing the year of their birth, I would assume it's like my Matalan joggers that have some year or other on them. A bit naff, but do the job for the price I paid. I certainly wouldn't be complimenting the wearer on looking good for being 54...
