How old would you say you looked?

[Liberty Belle]

Let's all be honest. Whenever a woman tells her age, don't we all express shock and tell them they didn't look that old? Does anyone ever say to someone "40? I would have thought you were 45 at least!" I would like to think I look younger than I am, but when people express disbelief that I have a child in university, I take it with a grain of salt.

Yes, and again, I disagree with them, but I think most of us can tell the difference. Like, when people came to me and say "Tyler told me you are 48?! That can't be true, is it?!"

Wow, it's shocking how many people swear that they look 10-15 years younger than they actually are! Who would have thought that?

This thread would be more fun if we could also see a recent, un-photoshopped or unfiltered photograph. Haha. I don't doubt that a select few people really do look significantly younger than their actual age. But not many.

I'm 32. I think I look my age--young 30s. I work from home and don't spend a ton of time doing my hair and makeup unless it's a special occasion or outing. My clothes will need a major upheaval once I can get rid of the maternity clothes after this pregnancy. I would say that 3 pregnancies in 4 years has taken a bit of a toll on me.

I'm 66. I think I look at least 70. I smoked for about 20 years before quitting and I'm sure that caused some premature aging.

Good idea! How old do I look to you?

 

[prprincess]

I'm 43 and people think I'm in my mid-30s. Not bad!

Sure, this is from last month. No make up. No special lighting. Just me and the family (though I cropped them out), at Universal.

How old do I look?

Edit: I don't think it's "shocking", btw. I think people self-select. If you're regularly told you look younger than you are, then you're not going to hesitate to post. If you're confident you look the age you actually are, then you may or may not post. If you think you look older than you are... you're probably not going to post about it, unless you're a very self-confident and secure individual.

56

 

[Magpie]

56

Lol!

Now, you post your pic!

 

[Sanchez]

People tell me that I look 35.

 

[MataHari22]

I used to look way younger than my age. People would routinely think I was at least 10 years younger than what I was. Since I have had a few rough years of a divorce, and cancer twice, I most definitely look my age (and more, probably.) I also have decided I am not dying my hair anymore, so I'm sure the grey hair adds more years.



These are not edited. The first four are very recent, the fifth, is from November 2015, and the sixth is from October 2014.

I won't say how old I am yet, if anyone wants to guess.

This is me. I'm 66. I took this picture about ten minutes ago.

I love the grey. You look like a model! You're beautiful.

I wouldn't have guessed 66. I would have said 55. Seriously.

You both look lovely!!!

I'm not guessing age, though!

 

[North of Mouse]

Most people put me 5-10 yrs. younger now. Until I turned 50 it was more like 15 years younger. It starts telling on you at the 50 mark though. When I was 38, people thought my dd and I were sisters - loved it. She will be 48 next week.

Dh & I are still very active, exercising, biking, hiking, gardening, etc. What I see in some of our friends our age, I think it is a main key to stay very active, and keep your weight within healthy limits.

When dh & I married, people thought we were young teenagers, lol.
We were 20 & 21, but small in build.

 

[ShirikiUtundu]

I think that I look my age and I am terrible at guessing people's ages.
That said I would guess Tuffcookie to be 60-63, Magpie to be 43-46, and Matahari22 to be around 55ish.
My guesses are based on people I know that you guys kind of look like/remind me of and the age range they are in.
If Vijoge didn't state her age already I would have guessed 55-58.

 

[Hikergirl]

I'm 43 and people think I'm in my mid-30s. Not bad!

Me too!

 

[MataHari22]

You're very kind. Lol. I would have guessed your age at about 57 from your photo. You definitely look younger there.

Ack, no. Lol. I'm not 55 yet. I think I am going to tell people I'm 62, and then they will think I look good for my age. I have a birthday coming up next week.

I'm 22, and look probably 18 or so when not wearing makeup, and my age when wearing makeup. I've been mistaken for a high school student at the K-12 school I work at, which is definitely annoying.
