@IClaudine - I can’t quote you for some reason, but I completely agree with your post about ageing being viewed as a moral failing. I don’t look younger than my age. Probably look older than it. As such, it really is very unpleasant to read advice about what the op should be doing (she asked how old she looked, not how she could look younger, if we’re sticking to the story that people are merely factually answering her query) and that one poster’s daughter looks WAY younger while having three AD kids. Subtext being: what’s your excuse for ageing so badly, then?
Lovely to see how many women see the signs of ageing on others and the go-to thought is that they need to have some justification for it.
I also do not believe that many of the guesses on here are genuine. Most people roughly look their age, even if they have developed white hair or lines or sun damage earlier or later than average. I knew a woman in her late 20s who had extensive wrinkling. I would have guessed she was older than she was, but not by several decades. She looked like what she was: a young woman with an unusually lined face for her age.
