Indulge me please - how old do I look to you?

People tell me (unprompted) I don't look my age but I'm never sure whether they are being polite or if not what age they think I am. How old would you have said I look? My pic is on my profile and I'm wearing tinted moisturizer if that helps.

I think having a big age gap between me and DH makes me a bit conscious about it Blush

I am 47 and am now going to beat you with a pointy stick for not paying due respect to my aging status....((while snogging you fervently)

I wouldn't have thought you were 45. Definitely look in your thirties to me.
You look very fresh faced and youthful.

It's so hard to guess. People always think I am younger than I really am. I got asked for ID twice in one day back at Christmas when attempting to buy Christmas crackers then liquer chocolates. So shocked and embarrassed.

I am 34.

MadMommaMemoo · 16/03/2011 23:57

People saying 40ish - you surely are not seeing the same person I am?? I would say 34.

MadMommaMemoo · 16/03/2011 23:59

You definitely don't look 47!!! You look about 10 years younger!

MadameDefarge · 17/03/2011 00:01

MadameDefarge · 17/03/2011 00:08

Clearly Bronze, you stole those children, and I am going to report you to SS. Oh yes I am. And then send you back to the young offenders institution you have clearly escaped from. You think that fresh-faced look will fool us? oh no!

SeeJaneKick · 17/03/2011 00:09
