Some people have been very spiteful, I mean why really?

Monty27 · 09/04/2019 07:32

Narcissist? @pianobook

Double0FeckingBollocks · 09/04/2019 07:57

Even by MN standards this whole carry on is a bit weird.

TheGrey1houndSpeaks · 09/04/2019 08:01

I hope op asks for this to be taken down, it’s getting a bit off now.

KooMoo · 09/04/2019 08:09

Actually I think the OP might be ill and not in a good place mentally. To post such a thread and not return is very odd.

Perhaps her esteem is low and she was looking for some good old fashioned Mumsnet validation. Which she didn’t get. People aren’t stupid and can recognise when someone is blatantly trawling for compliments. As she is clearly an older lady, you’d think she would be grown up enough to not care what randoms think. Clearly not.

I hope she is ok though and has someone in rl to chat to.

Can someone start an eyebrow thread please, I've got a lot to say about those ghastly fake thick things Grin

TeeBee · 09/04/2019 09:07

Mid 50s and well looked after. Nice glowing skin.

BayandBlonde · 09/04/2019 09:19

I've come back thinking OP would have replied by now. Clearly not Confused

She is def older than 40.

Shoeshelpplease · 09/04/2019 09:24

You look lovely OP. When people don't have their personal identification attached to their posts, they can be very mean spirited.

You look great and like you have an interesting life. I wouldn't dare post a photo of me on an anonymous site.

FoxSquadKitten · 09/04/2019 09:25

She would look younger if she

a) lost a bit of weight from her middle to better match her slender arms and (presumably) legs.

b) had her hair cut into a shorter, edgier style with a bit of a fringe to camouflage her 'giving the game away' eyebrows.

c) do something to her eyebrows to add snatural-looking to

Nice starbright, now post a photo of you, so we can pick you apart 😂

Destinysdaughter · 09/04/2019 09:48

Oh god I’m so sorry, I completely forgot I’d posted this! BlushThsnks for all the lovely comments, Grin at the vegan art teacher comments! Anyhow, I’m 53, starting to feel it these days, especially post menopause. ( but my one top top round be, stay out of the sun 🌞 Smile)

Pianobook · 09/04/2019 09:52

You took that well op!

IfNotNowThenWhy · 09/04/2019 09:54

Hello love. We're you a bit worse the wear when you first posted? I guessed 45. Don't read all the pages. .Grin

downcasteyes · 09/04/2019 09:57

Wow, some really mean people on here.

OP, if I look as good as you do at 53, I will be very happy. Your hair is amazing!

Hazeintheclouds · 09/04/2019 10:30

If I had posted a photograph on a forum asking for comments, I guarantee I would not forget. Confused

starbrightnight · 09/04/2019 10:32

Sorry, I didn't mean to be mean, more like I was feeling mischievous and getting cross that the op wasn't going to come back and tell us and was just winding us up.

She's pretty and looks in her 50s. People are often amazed at what women look like in their 50s these days. My mid-thirties daughter without a line on her skin is my starting gauge for guessing a women's age.

I would post a pic of me except it would out me, not as the old-looking woman for her age but the mean-spirited one, which I'm not really. It was a blip. Sorry.

Hearhere · 09/04/2019 10:32

You forgot?
Yeah, right🙄

starbrightnight · 09/04/2019 10:44

And she did say 'do your worst...' Smile

Pianobook · 09/04/2019 10:49

I’d be checking back all day and getting quite offended.

turbototty · 09/04/2019 11:16

Looks great and can take all the mean comments on the chin - well done OP x

TheSassyAssassin · 09/04/2019 11:22

This thread has made me giggle so thanks for that OP! And reminded me that playing with the viper pit can result in serious snake bites...though the raised toxin levels could in fact be better than botox, so every cloud....! Grin

downcasteyes · 09/04/2019 11:28

I am sure this thread is genuine, not saying that it isn't. But it feels a bit similar to one of those psychological experiments into empathy that test whether people react more compassionately if they can see someone's face compared to not.

Many of y'all just failed. Grin

BentCoppersOnly · 09/04/2019 11:48

Yeah not buying the “I completely forgot about this, lol”

Badtasteflump · 09/04/2019 11:56

Actually OP you know the blonde woman in Cold Feet who's having a fling with the Irish bloke? You look like her wholemeal sister Smile

KooMoo · 09/04/2019 11:59

Sorry DestinysDaughter I’m not buying ‘you forgot all about this thread’.

Please don’t patronise the posters that bothered to read and respond —waste their time—
