Early 40s

VinEtFromage · 08/08/2023 08:40

Early 40's, & tired!

BusinessClass · 08/08/2023 08:41

I'd say mid 30s? You haven't any wrinkles round your eyes. But as pp say you do look tired! Why are you asking us I hope you are ok

ramires · 08/08/2023 08:41

Hard to tell isn't it

lapisamethyst · 08/08/2023 08:41

You look sad and tired.
I'd guess at 35.

BadNomad · 08/08/2023 08:42

It's pointless asking MN. Someone will say 28 out of kindness then someone else will say "You look about the same age as me. I'm 63."

DrLightman · 08/08/2023 08:42

35-55

@addicteetopawpatrol coming back?

Maia77 · 08/08/2023 08:43

Mid to late 30s.

Gnomegnomegnome · 08/08/2023 08:43

48

In this particular photo you look mid 40s. But you have good skin and no grey hair so with a better angle and a smile you’d probably look at least a decade younger.

JenWillsiam · 08/08/2023 08:45

I’m going mid 40’s because of jowls and sun damage. Really with some good skincare you could knock years off.

OnaHotTinRoofNow · 08/08/2023 08:46

I personally when these photos pop up and people ask how old they look am more concerned for the state of the mind of the poster.

It’s people that are either in crisis, depressed or going through something so want some sort of validation or are petrified of ageing.

It’s fine to wonder but to get to the stage of putting a pic online to strangers is a concern, I hope you are ok.

NeverMrsAgain · 08/08/2023 08:47

I think you have a difficult to age face. You look to me that you could be quite young but have an ‘old’ face, at least in that photo. On that basis, I’m guessing mid to late twenties to early 30s.

SophieTheWonderCat · 08/08/2023 08:47

I agree.

Claricethecat45 · 08/08/2023 08:48

38 but knackered

TheLongpigs · 08/08/2023 08:48

38

northernsunshine · 08/08/2023 08:48

@addicteetopawpatrol i would say 37

Flakey99 · 08/08/2023 08:49

I’m in my late 50’s and I think you look like early 30’s, definitely not in your 40’s.

LifeStrife · 08/08/2023 08:49

I think early 30’s. It’s hard to tell with one photo and it’s not the easiest angle but you don’t really have any wrinkles or sagging. How old are you?

Dacadactyl · 08/08/2023 08:49

I said you look 42 but it depends on so many things. I am 38 but if I posted my picture on here some people would guess a decade older. I have terrible bags under my eyes, but I've been a mum since I was 21.

I expect that someone my age without kids would look miles younger than me (and I have colleagues the same age as me who could pass for 28-30, but they live at home and appear to have limited stress in their life)

Also, lighting and angles makes a huge difference. From one side you wouldn't be able to see my eye bags in a picture and from the other I look like I've not slept my whole life!

marblesthecat · 08/08/2023 08:51

Mid-late 30s but very tired.

adriftabroad · 08/08/2023 08:52

40s

WhereHasTheSunGoneThisSummer · 08/08/2023 08:52

34

Ridethewavesheadabovewater · 08/08/2023 08:52

I'm not going to put an age, as I don't think it's helpful and you look so sad!
Why are you asking how old you look?
As others have said, it may not be the most flattering photo in terms of angle and if you posted from a different angle and smiled, the responses would be different.
