What a wonderful idea. I am going to claim to be in my 60's (I'm 37) and revel in the compliments. Alternately, I'll lock myself in the attic forever when people tell me they thought I was older.
Ah Mumsnet!If you post a “guess my age” photo on Mumsnet, some ray of sunshine will put you in your 60s even if you look 25!
Someone at work asked me, I thought they were a few years older than me so I said “hmm, about my age aren’t you?” turned out they were three years younger. Which obvs isn’t what I meant but meant I could easily save it with “yeah, so about my age!”. And just thought to myself, thank fuck I didn’t say the actual age I thought they were.Ah Mumsnet!
I don't know what possesses anyone to ask someone to guess their age anyway.
"What age do you think I am?" is such a stupid, dangerous, pointless question.
It's a minefield!Someone at work asked me, I thought they were a few years older than me so I said “hmm, about my age aren’t you?” turned out they were three years younger. Which obvs isn’t what I meant but meant I could easily save it with “yeah, so about my age!”. And just thought to myself, thank fuck I didn’t say the actual age I thought they were.
I like Daniel Craig so I'll take him off your handsJames Bond needs to be obviously handsome. Daniel Craig was an anomaly.
I hate, hate, hate being asked how old I think someone is. Unless they are very very very old and take being thought of as 91 a compliment because they are actually 103. It's nearly always women, nearly always over 30, and desperate to be told they look 19. Or 23. Anything but the truth, which is 47.It's a minefield!
Bad sign of a person if they ask, in my opinion!
Someone asked me this at work and I gave an actual number. I was about 9 years out and not in a favourable directionSomeone at work asked me, I thought they were a few years older than me so I said “hmm, about my age aren’t you?” turned out they were three years younger.

A face mask like a covid mask or a Venetian mask?Someone asked me this at work and I gave an actual number. I was about 9 years out and not in a favourable direction. In my defence, they did have a face mask on so it was a bit hard to tell. I still cringe every time I see them.

Had the same scenario when I started a new job a decade ago. All the staff were there (which was approximately thirty) and his girlfriend said ‘How old do you think X is?’ I guessed correctly and there was a collective look of horror from the couple which was met with, ‘Well, everybody thinks he looks ten years younger.’ The problem being that quite evidently, everybody fucking didn’t think that, but I actually said it. I still wish I’d tagged on a ridiculous number of years and said ‘He looks good considering he must have seen some action in Normandy.’Someone I have known for 20 years, as an acquaintance, asked me to guess his age recently. I mentally subtracted 3 years from my genuine guess, and told him.
My answer was his correct age!
However, he was so huffy that I had guessed correctly - apparently most people think he is 10 yrs younger than his age ()
He was so put out and actually questioned me about it - what was it that made me think he was that age? Blah blah blah.
He is a very successful man with a spiky personality. Can’t imagine why everyone says such low guesses. It never occured to me that he would be so precious about it.
All the hours she puts in at the home gym must be displayed as much as possible.Kate Ferdinand is another one of these
