Why are you asking??

LondonLass2026 · Today 22:14

Many moons ago (2010s) this used to happen on Yahoo Answers, if anyone remembers that. People would vindictively post the photo of an ex's new girlfriend, and say "rate her looks" without letting on who the woman really was. It always came out in the end though.

It was so toxic and vicious. The people asking and posting pictures were literally never the person in the pic, despite their protests that they were. It was usually for a cheap laugh or to feel better about themselves by reading the derogatory comments about the new partner.

First reaction - I would say 42.
Haven't had the chance to read the full thread yet so I expect the OP has updated!

@pamelabrown Do you have a disability? Because I think only a vulnerable person would do something like this and I'm afraid some answers might hurt your feelings. I said 38 but your skin looks younger. You do look tired and worn so I would guess you have a baby waking you up at night?

Christ Almighty.

Not one but two clangers.

You on crack?

Because someone has posted a photo of themselves (or someone else, we can’t be sure) and asked for guesses on their age- that makes it fair game for people to be nasty about the appearance of said person in the photo? Right.

I didn’t say it was “game” or OK, just that it’s almost inevitable.

You've posted 'your' pic on here before (several times.)

From memory, you're early/ mid forties. And a bit odd.

I knew I'd seen her before. What do you get out of these threads OP?

Doesn’t make it ok though does it?

I was about to post 42 when I scrolled down and saw I was right! 🙂

Luddite26 · Today 22:40

I thought 43 on first glance but the second photo I thought maybe late 30s.

These threads bring out the worst in some women honestly a few of the responses on here are unbelievably bitchy 😂 even over the internet it still gives Year 9 playground

Yeah, I have seen this poster before here too. No idea why she keeps posting her photo asking how old people think she is/how old people think she looks....

@pamelabrown You look your age, like everyone does. Early to mid 40s.

Why do you want to know how old people think you look? You have had suggestions from mid 30s to mid 50s, which proves some people haven't got a clue. But as I said, everyone looks their age. You are 42 and look 42. Why wouldn't you?

Lots of vindictive women on Mumsnet.A nest of vipers🙄

Not true. Some posters are posting silly answers because they're sick of these type of threads.

PrettyLittleRose · Today 22:56

ArseSkinForAFriend · Today 20:35

And we can all post someone else’s photo, which is why these threads shouldn’t be allowed.

I actually didn't think they were allowed.
