I truly don’t mean to be mean, but…he was being polite. Whenever someone asks me how old I think they are, I subtract 7 years from my actual guess. I am a woman.

Woman here too and im always honest about it. Why would you be "nice" in guessing their real age? They're asking for an honest opinion if they're asking you.

DP, I’ve never met anyone who wants an honest opinion on how old they look. They ask because they are insecure and want flattery.

Weird, don’t do that! And if the guy was under 30, remember these kids have no idea how to do math. 1988 sounds like a million years ago to young people.

So true. My teen refers to anyone over 35 as a "Boomer."

+2. I remember when I was 18, older women I worked with asked me to guess their age. Literally everybody over 30 looked the same to me, and I didn’t want to offend them, so I regularly told women in their 40s and 50s they looked 28.

Also, today I was talking to a 19 year old about his YouTube channel and he said “yea I get clips from old TV shows. But not OLD old like from the 90s”. 90s are OLD old now.

See, I don’t know what some of you think….that women are running around going “Can you guess how old I am?” and the hapless person says something to make them feel better. People legitimately eff my age up all the time and it’s not from some guessing game.

I just think a lot of you making snarky remarks regret your sun worship in your youth and are paying the price now.

How often are strangers mentioning your age? Seems sus.

I realize that many on DCUM don’t have many friends to speak of but I have a large group of friends and more casual friends and I assure you it comes up more often then you would think.

Also use of the word sus doesn’t make you sound younger.

I'd post pictures unfiltered here if I could stay anon for proof but I do pass for 20s and I am dating a few very hot guys old with no sex in their 30s. Frequently hit on by guys in their 20s too but no. So why the hate for women in their 40s by both men and women?

I'm Asian. In late August, I dropped off my 9th grader for a tour of her new high school, and as I was leaving, one of the tour guides asked me to step inside to join the tour as it was leaving. The tour was student-only. I had to explain I was the parent. It was embarrassing. Maybe that guide needed glasses, but it's not the first time this has happened. I got yelled at for being late to my other teen's choir practice years ago, until the manager recognized me as a parent and not a student. Again, embarrassing.

But I know that in a year or two, all that will be finished and I'll be visibly middle-aged.

So enjoy it, OP, it won't last.

Cool stories but they don’t really answer the question. All you’re saying is that you look young. Young does not equate beauty as there are a lot of unattractive young women out there.
