@addicteetopawpatrol coming back?

It’s only been an hour - step away from Mumsnet for a bit

Yesabsolutely · 08/08/2023 08:54

40 .

Honestly anything from mid 30s to mid 50s - it’s an unflattering angle and you can’t tell.

I’m guessing you are at the early end and feeling shit.

You have a nice face and good skin and people do not look at you from this angle

Doggymummar · 08/08/2023 08:55

Early to mid 50s I think. I have similar age spots, not on my face though and without fillers my marionettes would be the same

BBno4 · 08/08/2023 08:55

You have a young top of your face, your forehead and eyes look late 20s early 30s. But the lower part looks older like mid 40s.

I had to do a few double takes.

Thats good though because its hard to have young eyes they really normally the first to go.

I was going on how many (103) replies - not how old it was... my bad

Thankgoodnessforabitofsun · 08/08/2023 08:57

30s. But in real life you might look much younger. It’s not a desperately flattering angle

I don’t know why these threads are allowed.
OP could literally be posting anyone to get them slated on the internet. Weird.
Plus the guesses always range from 20’s to 60’s so it’s all ridiculous!

ClaraMarmalade · 08/08/2023 08:58

My first guess was 45-46.

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.

Exactly what I was thinking and you have worded it well .

Exactly - could be

  1. actually the OP
  2. ops friend where they are feeling low and want a pick up
  3. someone the op hates and wants to make fun of
Window82 · 08/08/2023 09:00

It’s not possible to tell OP, I hope you’re ok. You look sad.

WhateverMate · 08/08/2023 09:02

Late 30s and I sincerely hope the photo belongs to you...

Fairyliz · 08/08/2023 09:03

I don’t think these threads are a very good idea it’s not going to make you feel any happier if people say older than you actually are.
If you have a particular concern why not post that; there are some very knowledgeable people who can offer good advice.

Freshair1 · 08/08/2023 09:04

Point 1: you need to get on the phone to a real life friend or family member for a chat.
Point 2: posters are rightly worried about your mental state as you look so bloody sad, I am too.
Point 3: have a bath, go outside for a walk, make a coffee, cry it out
Point 4: this is a public forum so any Muppet could take that picture and do anything so I would suggest you get this thread removed.
Point 5: big hugs xx

Late 30's, you look knackered though hope you're OK?!

AnxiousFairyQueen · 08/08/2023 09:05

My immediate thought was around 36/37 but exhausted. I’d never ask on here….people always say older. Also, depending on lighting, angle, tiredness, makeup, most people could put on or take off well over ten years.

I’m horrified by some of my photos and I’m objectively pretty (with makeup)🙂

I agree. I’m never sure what the OP is looking for. There will always be a mix of “not a day over 21 babe you’re beautiful xxxx” and “I’d say, 60-62? You could really do with a better skin care regime as you have lots of wrinkles and are basically hideous”.

Are you always this kind? Most of my friends are much nicer than you.

Are you actually serious? Of course she doesn't look 50!
