My!

Hairyhands it can't be denied that you don't want to look young, as you have grey hair. But you do always want to be told you look good, contrary to what you say. You're always posting photos of yourself in odd angles to make it look like you're just messing about. Why not ever just post one normal, natural pic and be honest that you want to know if you look nice? Since you're not playing the 'guess my age' game.
(I'm comfortable in my own looks, like my image etc which is why I don't post. So it doesn't ring true when you say that).

I’m not disagreeing with anything you say generally but there will be people who don’t post for a variety of reasons - some maybe because they are “comfortable in their own looks”, some because they aren’t, some genuinely don’t care what others think and some because they can’t be bothered. Other reasons too.

So it follows that people can get post pictures of themselves for a range of reasons too. It’s clear some are fishing for compliments but I don’t believe that’s true of everyone.

Notredamn · 10/04/2020 09:16

Bunny I was very much speaking for myself there.
Many people wouldn't post just because they don't want to be outed or go to the hassle of namechanging then namechanging back again.

Terralee · 10/04/2020 10:29

I'm terrible at guessing ages, I either go too old or too young.

workshy44 · 10/04/2020 11:19

Tigerbear no way you look 50's or even 40's, I think 30's max- v youthful
In fact everyone who has posted looks great.
Hairyhands you are like a model
I don't know why people are so mean about these posts, so what if people are fishing for compliments, everyone needs a pick me up now and again.
I think it is interesting too but I think so many way over shoot it just to tear people down. I mean Autumn in her 50's, no way she looks past 40, she doesn't have one wrinkle !!!

gower4 · 10/04/2020 12:40

To all those expecting to look younger - past a certain age (late 30s-ish) the jawline is a dead giveaway. I speak for myself as well!

ZaraW · 10/04/2020 14:07

Most people look their age. It's a bit sad when you need validation from a bunch of strangers on the internet.

formerbabe · 10/04/2020 14:19

I agree most people look their age. The reason they think they don't is because nowadays there's no distinction really between clothes, hair and make up that a person in their twenties would have and a person in their fifties. When I was growing up in the eighties, women would have such aging hairstyles and clothes once they reached a certain age. It definitely set them apart from younger people

ILikeyourHairyHands · 14/04/2020 03:32

I quite like to irritate people.

OP how're you feeling about your image now?
You started it Confused

TKAAHUARTG · 14/04/2020 05:29

But why? Why all the blurry photos? I know we are on lockdown but fucking hell, you could do a zoom party or something?

ILikeyourHairyHands · 14/04/2020 06:14

Why? Because I've no idea who you are TKAA, but everytime you are annoyed, it pleases me no end.

It gives me laughs. I don't even know why I irritate you but the fact I do makes me want to do it more.

We all have to get our jollies somewhere.

I'm not going to stop, do you have a klaxon whenever I post?

TKAAHUARTG · 14/04/2020 06:22

I am not annoyed my love. I work with teenagers 😂
I am a bit shocked that someone your age gets their laughs from this though. It reminds me of teenagers still laughing at poo jokes. Ohhhhh...

Cool story bro.

I'm not your love btw.

You can only see if you look.

TKAAHUARTG · 14/04/2020 06:49

No. You get emails. Too many emails. But still. You sound a bit tetchy?

NowWashYourHandsPlease · 14/04/2020 07:41

I'm not so bothered about guessing my age, because I always looked young for my age but was seriously ill for a while two years ago and it really took its toll on my looks as well as my body, so I look pretty much my age now (I.e nobody is surprised any more when I tell them) but I would like some style tips as I feel stuck in a rut and don't know what would suit me! Just nothing involving dying my hair as I'm allergic to dye

@NowWashYourHandsPlease not going to guess your age as I'm crap & get it wrong but I like your top, & your hair is pretty.

NowWashYourHandsPlease · 14/04/2020 14:52

Thanks Terralee top is from Tesco. Hair is natural. Age is 50 Grin

squishedgrapes · 14/04/2020 15:26

You look lovely @NowWashYourHandsPlease. Your skin is gorgeous.

NowWashYourHandsPlease · 14/04/2020 15:33

squishedgrapes thank you! Any ideas how I can look a bit more... I don't even know, just different? Feel like I'm in a rut and want a change

squishedgrapes · 14/04/2020 15:36

This is me, thought I'd post it because I'm having a relatively (frizz free) hair day and decided to put some make up on this morning. But my roots need doing, and I care about my roots because grey hair does not suit my complexion. Just makes my face look grey. I'm feeling very vain.
