As the title says please tell me how old you think I am.

If you know me say hi!

Between 42-45

notaknob · 18/04/2021 12:11

35?

notaknob · 18/04/2021 12:12

Oh I've just seen you say you're 52. You look fab!

CityCommuter · 18/04/2021 12:24

Can't believe this bun-fight thread is still going!

Cocksinsocks · 18/04/2021 12:25

I would have said mid 50s. You look happy with good skin and are well presented but you don't look younger than you are I don't think.

LemonSherbetFancies · 18/04/2021 12:29
  1. You look lovely. If I saw you for the first time I would want to be your friend.
miliie55 · 18/04/2021 12:34

I came on to say 42/43 and I'm usually bad for making folk older!

OverByYer · 18/04/2021 12:34

You look great OP, you have fantastic skin

Itsallhere · 18/04/2021 12:40

@ShrikeAttack

I think you look great OP, you do look your age though, as do the vast majority of people.

AND THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

All these threads do is feed into the idea that it's desirable to look younger. We need to stop venerating youth. It's perfectly possible to be an older woman, to look one's age and to look fantastic.

Totally agree

You look great. I'd have said late 40s. But a loving looking 52 year old instead!

Exactly, from a distance I may look younger but see me up close and I look my age.

I may have had a few issues coming to terms with ageing but I'm now brutally honest about how old I am.

Personally I think I look fantastic in my 50s and look far more put together than I did in my 30s.

Where has the thread fed the idea about looking younger. There's been a hole range of guesses. If you don't want to guess my age don't comment ffs!

I've found the whole thing very entertaining. I'm a long term MNer but never has a thread of mine been as high in numbers. Obviously debating my age is far more comment worthy than any of the other stuff I post 😂

Glad I name changed though!!

Bit spikey! I thought you were just agreeing with everyone that said you looked lovely...I digress!

Isn't that the point of these threads? Or would you have been completely cool if every single poster had said 75?

harriethoyle · 18/04/2021 13:34

I would have said 47 but I saw the answer. Definitely would not have put you above 50!

MrBeagles · 18/04/2021 13:39

I like these threads generally. Most look great. I guess and then scroll to the answer Smile

I guessed mid 40s. Looking good OP

Wednesdayalltheway · 18/04/2021 13:40

44

cookiecreampie · 18/04/2021 13:57

[quote SmidgenofaPigeon]@ZednotZee you’ve missed my point. I’m just perplexed as to how some posters think OP is in her thirties, unless they have a skewed perception of what a lot of people in their thirties actually look like.[/quote]
I agree. I'm early 30s. If people think OP is in her 30s then I must look about 14.

MoltonSilver · 18/04/2021 14:02

40ish

helenjerome · 18/04/2021 14:03

42

Yogatomorrow · 18/04/2021 14:23

Thanks for the thread. Not that i read it...i cheated by seeing only your comments until i got your age Blush. I guessed 42 btw...you do look younger Smile

MozzarellaMonster · 18/04/2021 14:33

I also have skipped to the answer but I had guessed 45 before I looked ... I'm always impressed how brave anyone who does this is!

Not completely cool, probably a bit shocked. Then I'd have considered what I could have done to look nearer my age perhaps!

No make up squinting in the sun!

I don’t care how old you are. You are feeding a lamb and I love you Grin
