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

Spiral I'm very surprised - I thought you were early 30s - you look lovely and fresh faced

MillsAndDoom · 16/03/2011 21:57

Annie - you have no visible lines around your eyes, which is what all my early 40s friends are noticing so I would say early 30s too

MillsAndDoom · 16/03/2011 21:58

Winny you look like you are very young - late teens, early 20s at a push

2plus2more · 16/03/2011 21:59

winny - my first thought was about 19, but on closer inspection I'd say probably about 26/27

notyummy · 16/03/2011 21:59

Winnie- maybe 26-28?

winnybella · 16/03/2011 21:59

SOH-er...what did you expect, if I may ask? Grin

You're lovely, all of you-I'm 31-but the photo is so small you can't see the sad state of my smoker's skin.

caramelwaffle · 16/03/2011 22:00

Spiral - you do indeed look ten years younger

sharbie · 16/03/2011 22:00

yay only 1 yr out winny

good genes Wink

CouldNeverHave3 · 16/03/2011 22:01

winny - 23

ShowOfHands · 16/03/2011 22:03

What did I expect? I don't know really. I think I picture you as quite fierce (but in a good way). I think I have caricatures in my head. You're quite pencil skirt and dark rimmed glasses but with twinkly eyes. In reality you look like you've stepped off the front of some arty French magazine.

zalana · 16/03/2011 22:07

In your 40s I guess, are you going to tell us?

winnybella · 16/03/2011 22:09

Ah, see, I do favour pencil skirts Grin
And should be wearing glasses.

namechangeahoy · 16/03/2011 22:10

Can I be really cheeky and piggyback on here? This has been on my mind a lot recently - would anyone mind having a look at the grainy offering on my profile? Be brutal, I can take it. Namechanged for this one so I may remain unidentifiable Grin

SueWhite · 16/03/2011 22:11

I guessed 35-6

SueWhite · 16/03/2011 22:11

to the OP that is

winnybella · 16/03/2011 22:16

namechangeahoy-mid to late thirties?

i know you are 45 because you said so, but i find it hard to believe. would have said 37 i think.

mappandlucia · 16/03/2011 22:20

Early-ish 40s?

namechangeahoy · 16/03/2011 22:23

Annie you don't look 42 - mid 30s at oldest. You have a lovely smile :)

MillsAndDoom · 16/03/2011 22:24

Namechange - hard to tell because of your glasses - the frames hide where any lines might be

GORGEOUSX · 16/03/2011 22:24

OP I'm only saying this because you look about my age and I'm 50 - but people think I'm in my late 30s - so purely based on that, I would say 48?

Mimile · 16/03/2011 22:25

i'd have said 36

SeeJaneKick · 16/03/2011 22:26

Ooh this is good! namechange I think you might be about 34...

SeeJaneKick · 16/03/2011 22:26
