27

MerLOWnomore · 14/08/2024 17:23

I guessed 27-30. You definitely don't look anywhere near 40.

Bluebell247 · 14/08/2024 17:24

Late 20s.
Those guessing 40s - I wish!

Vizella · 14/08/2024 17:24

Ruby, I was going to say you look 28-33 and I would have been right.
Don’t get offended by people saying 35-40 - they are likely themselves that age or older and think that THEY look young so are basing their guess off of that.
I once thought an 18 year old girl was 25 because I was 36 at the time and saw her as my equal because she seemed mature. People aren’t seeing things objectively- it’s coloured through their own individual lens.

MushMonster · 14/08/2024 17:27

I just checked your comments and you say you are 32. I honestly would not put you older than middle 20s.

Nobodywouldknow · 14/08/2024 17:27

Russiandollsaresofullofthemselves · 14/08/2024 16:43

maybe slightly older than me so late 30’s early 40’s

She doesn’t look in her 40s at all. OP I have no idea why you think you look old. I’d have guessed around 30-ish. People on here just LOVE to drag people down on posts like this.

Penguinsa · 14/08/2024 17:27

30 but these threads never go well

People saying 40 are being deliberately disingenuous because they are jealous and there is a culture on Mumsnet of women wanting to tear each other down. Basically. So if anyone asks something like this, some women think they deserve an obnoxious response.

Nonsense. Why would people be jealous of an internet stranger.

I guessed 40 and gave reasons why (crows feet present, for example), but I also made sure to compliment her good skin.

Why not? Some women can be jealous of anyone.

There was a whole thread recently devoted to women claiming no-one ever looks younger than their age. Such palpable nonsense, No prizes for what’s going on there.

So guess I look old AF as I thought lol

No you just look “about” your age. I would have put you 30-32. I’m nearly 40 & some days think i look ancient then others i meet people i’m convinced are mid 40s & they tell me their 35 & i think i look quite young in comparison but its pointless really.

Dweetfidilove · 14/08/2024 17:28

I think this is the first one I've seen where you actually look your age instead of older. You look early 30s.

Justleaveitblankthen · 14/08/2024 17:28

Immediately, before getting swayed by any answers I would have said 29.
On these threads I always make the decision within 5 seconds flat, so immediate impression.

Bigearringsbigsmile · 14/08/2024 17:28

Early 20s

I wasn't specifically referring to your post tbh. But yes plenty of people are jealous of internet strangers and / or are miserable so saying mean things about other people makes them feel better. You only have to look on AIBU to see that increasingly on MN, people are nasty just because they can be.

Exactly. It may just be kicks from undermining someone else.

Most people look their age which there is nothing wrong with. Why are people obsessed with looking younger than they are? That's nonsense to me.

Fannyfiggs · 14/08/2024 17:33

RubySnail · 14/08/2024 16:31

With make up

I would have said 27. You are beautiful ❤️

Don't listen to the 'you look 40' brigade', you look nowhere near 40.

I cheated and looked at your answer but was thinking around 35. You are very pretty and have nice skin, nothing to worry about.

Chickenfriedriceismybestfriend · 14/08/2024 17:34

Another one envying your lovely skin 😍between 26-30?

bluebow80 · 14/08/2024 17:35

32 years old or there abouts.

Anyone saying you look older than early 30's must be on crack, you have a lovely natural look like some 1970's actress, Ali McGraw or similar.

Except you’re talking shit because there’s absolutely no crows feet on her face at all

Absolutely no way you look anywhere near 40!
These threads always go same way, people deliberately guess older… fuck knows why

ichifanny · 14/08/2024 17:36

25-35

CatCaretaker · 14/08/2024 17:36

Early thirties.

brightyellowflower · 14/08/2024 17:37

I thought 29 - 32 ish. So pretty much spot on. You look like a lot of the young mums at my kids school.
