Have you ever been asked to guess someones age only to get it wayyyy wrong and said they looked older then they actually are..Why do some folk do this if they cant take it when you say they look older then thay actually are..

Although I have to say I have looked at some profiles on here and their either lying or had a bloody hard paper round..

I just told a fella he looked a lot older on his profile pic than it says he is on his profile , and he said I need my eyes testing..Why ask if you dont like the answer..

Although he is right, my eyes do need testing...

I hate it when people ask that question. I look at them and guess their age in my head, minus about a decade and give them the answer, all the while thinking they know I'm lying to them!

Always love it when someone thinks I'm younger than I am though.

Didn't it have this person's age on their profile?

But havnt you ever noticed that on male profiles on various sites where you have to rate your attractivness eg: attractive/average/fairly attractive/VERY attractive most men actually tick the VERY attractive box! Only their mother could have actually told them they were VERY attractive tho ! Regardless of age

Fishing for compliments is a childish pastime and I never take the bait. If people can't handle answers they don't want, they shouldn't ask the question.

Anyway, why would anyone want to look younger (or be told they look younger) than they are? What do they think that means. I might think you look 50 and gorgeous. On the other hand I might think you look like a 35 year old bulldog or the dog's 20 year old dinner, so what does asking people how old they think you look accomplish? Silly game.

I'm just chuffed I still get asked for ID to buy a bottle of wine in the supermarket. I also take it as a compliment that I get a lot of wee boys around the 19-21 mark looking at my profile and a fair few mailing me. I'm not so flattered when they refer to me as an older woman. What hope is there if I'm considered older

But I don't play that game because I am dreadful at it and the person asking is only doing it so you'll say they are younger than they actually are.

I can beat that one dancer.

I got asked if I was over 21 when buying wine at Tescos. I was 43!

I nearly wept with gratitude...

No not blind. But I don't think she was the sharpest tool in the box.

I don't care though. I'm still dining out on that one.

I got ID’d at 27, I was furious, the guy that asked hadn’t even started shaving yet.
Other night I got in a taxi and the guy asked if I was Chinese! Okay that has happened a few times…how many times do I have to explain!

I always say I'm 73. That way people think I look good for my age.

It backfires though when they say 'oh but I thought you were only in your 50s'

I think the secret is in just 'knowing' you look younger rather than seeking affirmation..................I know I don't look a day past 30 so don't feel the need to ask !!

Im fab at guessing peoples ages, im rarely more than 2 years out, eyes and hands usually give people away in my experience.

People never guess my age correctly, i dont think anyone ever been 7 years close, it pays to wear dark glasses and gloves

Its never people I know well enough to know if they really want an honest answer, so I will admit to knocking a few years off usually.

I too take it as a great compliment when Im asked for ID though the last time it was at the supermarket and the kids were teasing me about my age, so I'm sure she only did it to back me up against them! I don't realy think I look that young anymore, so when I get asked now I think they either didn't really notice me or are just asking every 5th customer or something.

I was 32 the first time I went in a 'real' nightclub rather than a late bar, and the bouncer asked me for ID... that time I did believe him... I squealed with delight and gave him a kiss on the cheek! Needless to say I'd had a few for the first time in a few years though!
