Would you?!

Can't believe OP still has her photo up.

That’s why I asked. I think @addicteetopawpatrol should ask mumsnet to delete. Some answers were honest guesses but some have been vile.

40s. But you’ve posted an incredibly unflattering picture of yourself and I bet you look much fresher/younger with better lighting and a more flattering angle.

This! Perhaps 38. This picture is not good though. Smile and take it a little further back

................and dissing her glasses.

And told us the Joan Collins skin care regime involved raw sausages and an obscene amount of salad cream…

AppleTurnover1000Degrees · 09/08/2023 22:10

Granny thought her and her Daughter were the youngest looking for their age. I need to drink more water, cut alcohol out & I will look like Joan Collins.

Skye109 · 09/08/2023 22:22

OP you very obviously look in your 30s.
Personally I think you look a few years younger than 39.
You look lovely.

There's nothing wrong with looking your age.

I absolutely look my age, soft jaw, grey hair.

Do I look my age? Yes!

Do I look amazing? Also yes!

I love being 50, I got here.

Youth is overrated.

Define amazing.

Define amazing.

What do you get out of being so nasty to someone you don't know? What unfulfilled need does it satisfy?

IncompleteSenten · 10/08/2023 07:50

You look great!

hollyblueivy · 10/08/2023 08:45

@FFSCarrieBradshaw

You do look amazing. You do look your age and fabulous for it.

I don't think I've seen one of these threads without you posting a picture of yourself so I was starting to wonder whether you'd left MN or something.
Good to know all is well with you and you're still feeling "bien dans votre peau".
(Interesting new name - what did Carrie Bradshaw do to elicit that? Smile)

I knew the pouting poster would show up at some point!

SoCentralRain · 10/08/2023 09:34

Wow, that’s a lot of photos you’ve taken of yourself.

I really do think people just say others look younger to be polite. I'm 32 and often get people telling me I look 25. I really don't think I look 25 if you look properly. I'm very short and slim so I can understand why I might be mistaken for younger at a glance but if you look at my face properly I think I look like someone in their 30s. I actually find it annoying because I feel like they are just falsely flattering me, I'd prefer they just didn't pass comment at all.
You do get the rare outlier who look younger but the majority of people look within their age range. There is a lot of delusion surrounding this subject but I suppose it must be nice really to truly believe you look 15 years younger. And a poster several pages telling OP she looks 25-30 is just mental, OP looks fine but she doesn't look like someone in her 20s. It's either a lie or people who say that sort of thing mustn't spend a lot of time around people in their 20s.

This thread has been most entertaining anyway.

80s · 10/08/2023 13:14

Who knows what they even meant, anyway. I might say that OP was young-looking based on the "smiley face" photo because she has a cute, girlish smile rather than baring her gnashers in a plastered-on grin.

HappyMe6 · 10/08/2023 15:09

It’s fantastic that people can be happy within themselves, I am too and at 66 almost it’s great to have confidence, but there’s a fine line coming across as arrogant as in look at meee! But I guess some like to grab some attention while others take compliments and quietly fade into the background. 🤣🤣👊

You do look great! Do you have a particular skincare routine or work done?

Agree that it's fine to look your age, but if you want honesty your face doesn't look 50, you would pass for any age 40s. I think it's the grey hair that looks older and even that looks fine if you're happy with it.

Ha, busted!

My glasses photo was to my sister who asked a question.

My 'pouty pictures', I will always post because I like myself, but I'm also quite ridiculous. It's ok to think you're brilliant but also human and nonsensical.

It's ok to be older, gorgeous, an absolute arse, want to look great whilst also understanding the absolute foolery of it all.

And I will keep posting pictures on 'age' threads, because I quite like myself

(And am also a masochist, obviously).
