To ask if you’ve got in mind what a typical mumsnetter looks like ?

[Devilgate]

I have

female
middle aged
grey hair
tall for a woman - around 5 ft 7
bigger than average feet - Size 7

wears trousers and not a feminine look but wears good quality clothing

‘sensible’ personality

non smoker - no substance abuse problems that could affect appearance

I imagine that a large majority look and dress like Carolyn Harris as well as unfortunately having the same political views.

No, I'm very resilient - rather like an iceberg and the Titanic.

Well your list was very thorough it did sound like you were listing your own attributes. Tbh as you are on munsnet therefore a 'mumsnetter' it isn't a stretch is it.

I wasn't being serious. It's impossible to know what a typical member of a large forum looks like.

I always assume granny knickers

I always think of m netters as middle class
Educated.
Decent Victorian townhouse.
Dog
3 dcs.Always entertaining.

I am 5;5. Mid length hair.
Slim ISH.Cooks from scratch.
I have a gay son.
Almost always seen in trousers.
Not too feminine.
Walks everywhere
Friendly, empathetic.
Not a high earner.
Holidays in the UK.
Very energetic morning person .🤣

@Bixaweet Ha, ha - I actually think I'm Liz in personality but with more cash - although older and I look like none of them

Yes!

OK PLEEEEASE forgive my ignorance here

BUT - what channel was Motherland shown on?

I’ve seen SO many references to the show on MN but I’ve never seen it !

I’ve only got Freeview and tbh … I aspire to watch shows like -

The 2 Ronnies
Cannon and Ball
Little and Large

like it’s 1983 or something…

but seriously- if someone could answer my question I’d be very grateful

Us old tlmers were all in our 30's when MN started a couple of decades ago

There is no typical Mumsnetter.

Your answer to the question depends on what threads you are reading, what piques your interest and what you pay attention to.

We still are

I never shop in Lidl
I’m more likely to stand on the high street and play a fiddle!

BBC Two.

Ah thank you!!!

Me too 🤣 🤣 🤣 brilliant response

Julia from Motherland.

You can watch Motherland on BBC iplayer.

I hadn't watched it until about 6 months ago and then I binged watched the lot because it's so addictive!

Well worth it though 🤣

Ah thanks - I might binge watch it!

Many years ago, MN appeared to have a lot of Kirstie Allsopp types. Boden has now been replaced by Toast, jumpsuits and wide legged cropped trousers.
There also appears to now be a lot of people my teenagers would describe as 'basics' - leggings, AF1s, expensive cars, highlights and Botox.
I have always been more of the chubby bag lady look described by a pp, although I am 5'7 (which I think is very average).

Yep! It’s really bad to think of forum users as some kind of uniform mass. There’s no “typical” here, you only have to read a sample of posts on the different topics to see that there’s a huge diversity of lifestyles, experience, and opinion.

I just imagine the various women you see everyday. But somehow, I dont imagine very wealthy looking women would be on here.

There's an obsession with class(and wealth) on here, I think it gives people a slightly warped view of who posts on here.

lol I’m 5 ft 1 - so you probably don’t see me as very average!

So Barbara Woodhouse?
