    I thought 45. I compared you to me and I am 41, I thought you looked a little older than me. Then I took a wee peek too - oops sorry. I am not good with ages at all.

    The best way to do this would be to make your profile FO for the duration of the thread, so your age is hidden - then no one can peek and adjust their answer accordingly. Because, realistically, a lot of people will do this. Also bear in mind that the majority of people don't want to offend, so when someone asks 'How old do you think I am?' they will err on the side of caution and say a number a few years younger than what they think. And of course a few people will say an older age than they think, to be mean or facetious! So this isn't the best way to tell. The best way would be to tell real-life people that you are a certain age and watch their faces for signs of surprise. If they look surprised, and give you a second glance, but say nothing, that means they thought you were older. If they thought you were younger, they'll generally say something, because that is socially acceptable and also desirable. If they say you look younger but show no signs of surprise, they are just being polite.

    When I get asked this face to face...I guess the age in my head and subtract 10 years to not offend. LOL. rarely have I been wrong. Unless it is someone between 18-25, the older I get the younger they look.

    I guess your age to be around 44....in the first picture with your hair up, you could pass for mid 30's...second photo with your hair down, you look around 44.

    I am a hairstylist, most women love long hair, but it tends to age us, not make us look younger. You should consider shortening it a few inches, adding in some choppy layers with a side bang....it would really suit your bone structure.

    Just my 2 cents since you wnated to know what age you could pass for.

    52?

    OK than, I better start standing in the social security line :-) Funny thing is that in the last year when I lost the weight my face did loose a lot of fat - which in turn has made me look older and I personally see it.
    I am very confident and happy with myself and just thought this would be a interesting topic to see the various replies.

    Thanks - I do feel that the second picture does relieve my age a bit more, and I appreciate your advice regarding my hair style. I did get it cut a few inches and colored to refresh it for the fall - this was taken in the summer after sun abuse and many months of no cuts.

    Oh who cares?! You are completely gorgeous! :heart:

    ETA I don't think "young" equals beautiful any more than "skinny" equals hot.

    Maturity of a late 30s lady but with a much younger body! Then I took a peek, all I can say is Wow!

    Thank you. I love the "much younger body" comment as I have work hard on it, and nice to hear positive comments.

    I've been telling My SIL for years that longer hair ages women and she disagrees because 1 man told her how he liked it long. Doesn't mean it doesn't make her look older though.

    I'd say early to mid 40s, although you look younger in the first picture. I'm 35 and you definitely look older than I do, but you look amazing!
