Early 20’s? Be real pls

Thanks for your comment.

I am real. I have two daughters and work with lots of young women in their late teens/early 20s. A natural fresh faced look can look very youthful looking.

I just said what I saw, and my opinion is as valid as anyone else’s.

Why not pick on someone else who got it wrong (on the other side of the OP’s age) and ask for them to be real?

About 28, you look lovely. I am so bloody old that anyone younger than me looks good! Are you worried about ageing? I wasted so many years stressing about getting older and then old and there is nothing you can do about it other than all the stuff we already know about such as good diet, sunscreen, no fags, not hammering the booze etc. Having good genes and good bone structure helps but those things are outside our control.

It's usually the neck that gives it away. No way do you look like you're in your 40s. I would have said late-20s to early-30s.

MissMogwai · 14/08/2024 16:08

I would have said late 20's early 30's, before I saw your update.

Can't believe pp have said 40 and over?! Come on!

So guess I look old AF as I thought lol

I was going to say 28! I think you look your age - it’s really hard to tell 25-35 I think.

also I find people have in their heads a much younger version of themselves than they actually are. Then you see a photo and go “woah! I look old!”. So on these threads, people comment as if they still look 28 when they’re 38 and that skews things a bit! In my (optimistic!) brain, I dont look that different to you and I’m 44. In reality I do look very different!

You’re beautiful and look young and I’d just focus on that rather than worrying about how old people think you are. I’d happily settle for looking my age but attractive/engaging/well dressed etc with it.

No botox

I think in the first picture you look about 28, in the second a bit older. You look like you've had botox in your forehead and a little lip filler too, which I do think can push your percieved age up when you're young, because you could be 40 with work.

PurpleFlower1983 · 14/08/2024 16:11

I would have guessed late 20s to early 30s. You have young looking skin.

User0311 · 14/08/2024 16:11

Look similar to me skin wise, I'm 31

Wafflefudge · 14/08/2024 16:11

Have to laugh at the 40 year olds claiming they look the same age as you. I doubt it very much.

They need to go to Specsavers and get their eyes tested. I thought she looked old enough to have children and just past the age of not being asked to show ID anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if she was still asked to ID when purchasing alcohol. I was guessing between 30 - 35. She's 32 so I wasn't wrong.

Frieda2024 · 14/08/2024 16:12

Haven’t RTFT but I would say 25 - 30. Very fresh-faced looking!

sleekcat · 14/08/2024 16:16

I was going to say early 30s, as I have a friend around that age and you look similar. I also id people at work so I've had some practice. Your skin looks great, it's just that people develop a look of maturity as they get older which has nothing to do with wrinkles or anything!

Letmehaveabloodyusernameplease · 14/08/2024 16:16

Early thirties? You have gorgeous skin!

for one, 35-40 is not old as fuck you cheeky whippersnapper 😅 for two, it’s hard from a photo and for three some people are bitchy. Had something happened that’s making you question your apparent age?

IdgieThreadgoodeIsMyHeroine · 14/08/2024 16:18

Can't believe all these people saying 40! I would guess 28, and you're very pretty, too!

RubySnail · 14/08/2024 16:19

No botox or lip filler

I was thinking 28 - so not far off.
You look great OP, you have nothing to worry about, go and enjoy your life now!

Garlicfest · 14/08/2024 16:22

NotSorry · 14/08/2024 15:37

I didn't get a chance to post before you said your age, but my first thought was 32, so you look your age to me

Me, too. I can't be quite as bad at this as I thought 😂 You look staggeringly healthy, OP, hope you feel as good as you look!

ilovesushi · 14/08/2024 16:22

28

SweetAmber · 14/08/2024 16:22

30

Loloj · 14/08/2024 16:23

You don’t look old AF! You can see from the comments massive variation from 20’s to 40’s. You look your age I would say at 32. I didn’t comment but in my head I said early 30’s - then read your update to see if I was correct!
