Can you guess ...

How old am I?

JustHereIGuess · 08/11/2016 18:44

I'm not being nasty at all: OP doesn't look young at all, I've never seen a Caucasian woman who looks less than 5 years younger than she actually is... Unless she has surgery.

I know a lot of Afro/Carribean people who 15+ years younger than they are Smile

Hi again op
I got your age spot on (2nd poster on this thread) you look great!

SukeyTakeItOffAgain · 08/11/2016 18:49

JustHere, I do believe the question was "How old do you think I am?" rather than "Do I look young?"

As my mother grandmother used to say , if you can't think of anything nice to say, just shut the fuck up dear.

Something like that anyway.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 08/11/2016 18:50

I really like the blonde and if I look as good as you at 59 I'll be one happy woman. Now for the important stuff - what's your skincare regime? It looks fab.

Granny was obviously a very sensible woman!

Imsickofnamechanging · 08/11/2016 18:54

Can't read the whole 12 pages, but guessed OP's age as 51/52 but it seems she is 59. I'd be very pleased if I look like you at 59 and your hair rocks.

sulee · 08/11/2016 18:57

Early 60s?

FlouncingInAWinterWonderland · 08/11/2016 19:03

Mid to late 40's. Lovely smiley pic.

FlouncingInAWinterWonderland · 08/11/2016 19:04

Oops opened this earlier and didn't update before posting.

You look fab

Jackie0 · 08/11/2016 19:09

So 59.
You look great, I hope this thread helped.

Naicehamshop · 08/11/2016 19:16

You look fantastic!! Ignore unpleasant comments on here.

pabstblueribbon · 08/11/2016 19:18

45

Bertucci · 08/11/2016 19:19

I was going to say 60 - you look fab, OP.

YouMeanYouForgotCranberriesToo · 08/11/2016 19:23

I thought late 40's/early 50's

thestarryeyedsurprise · 08/11/2016 19:24

Justhere bloody hell. Wrong side of the bed this morning? Or is it jealously that OP looks bloody good for her age? How hard is it to compliment someone and move on?

Zoflorabore · 08/11/2016 19:31

I was going to say 50 so you look great! No way would I think 59.

Fwiw, I've tried " guess my age " using 3 pictures, 2 of them suggest I'm 6 years younger and 1 picture said I looked 17 years younger- as if!

It's an ego boost but are the people pissed when they take years and years off you Grin

Bertha1924 · 08/11/2016 19:36

Think why I posted the guess my age post was because I have been feeling so down lately. Been diagnosed with rhematoid arthritis (have to take Methotrexate (sp) once a week which makes me as sick as a dog for 12 hours, a kidney infection (6 months of antibiotics), had my hair done but it looks terrible. I'm the oldest at work and generally feeling sorry for myself.

MumboNumber5 · 08/11/2016 19:37

I was going to say 48.
What's your secret? Grin

FlouncingInAWinterWonderland · 08/11/2016 19:38

Well you look good. GABLE

Bertha1924 · 08/11/2016 19:39

Enough of feeling sorry for myself ... back to brown?

How old am I?

GoofyTheHero · 08/11/2016 19:40

I prefer it brown OP.

Bertucci · 08/11/2016 19:41

Justhere - don't know about all caucasian women never looking much younger than they are, I am sure some do.

Black women however, I agree, often look really much younger than their age. We have a temp at work and we all thought she was mid 30s - she is 58 Shock

JustHereIGuess · 08/11/2016 19:41

Jealous oh please! I'm 26 every day I get asked if my child belongs to me.

Bertucci · 08/11/2016 19:43

Oh yes, OP, brown really suits you.

If you'd posted that photo first, I'd have said 50.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 08/11/2016 19:44

Brown is lovely!
