Age challenge

edited December 2024 in Social Groups
The past few days I've challenged myself to look at online dating profiles and guess the person's age before reading it. For the most part I'm accurate within a year or two, however, there were a few that I guessed 10 years older or younger and was proven wrong (that's a huge difference!). I'm fairly open with the age range I will date, but I mostly attract younger guys, so I wonder what that says about me...

So if you're up for the challenge, try to guess the age of anyone who posts above you (assuming you don't already know it). The goal is not for anyone to be offended, but rather get a real perspective of what someone viewing you online might be thinking when they see you without context...

Ok go!

    OK, PJ, based on your picture I guessed 31... I cheated and already looked it up :happy: I wouldn't have guessed the right number so great job or thank God for genetics (or both!)...

    So: 21? And... 21?

    I understand being scared by the wrong person... but you're with friends here, so I'm going to guess FFF is 18 :laugh: :tongue:
    And NC is 35.

    tchristine - the hand on the hip just isn't enough for me to formulate a guess. Since you've posted your age before though, I'll go with 22.

    you can't tell someone's age by a hand on the hip??

    haha well you can click on the photo since i can't figure out how the hell to fix it.

    but yes you are right.
