Oh boy - updated w/ age
Permalink Closed

I feel so stupid asking this, but I need some help stopping an obsession. I feel like I look older than I am. Every time someone asks me how old I am, I feel like the answer is younger than they think. I would just really like to know, honestly, how old I look. And then I can stop obsessing. I may start obsessing with moisturizer, but it will be better than this.

So. Here is a picture of me, taken in the harshest natural light I could find. Can you girls please tell me how old you think I look? Be honest: I can take it!

If anyone wants to join in the poll and make me feel less silly, feel free!

P.S. If anyone knows how I can not involuntarily raise one eyebrow when I smile, I would love to know that, too.

Sorry for the huge pic. I didn't want to minimize my wrinkles!

I said 28 and DH who is right behind me at the computer said 29.  I think you look great no matter what your age is!  You're beautiful, truly!

hmmm...well i have serious trouble anymore telling how old people are...i'm in grad school with all these people i thought were around my age and it turns out most of them are 3-4 years younger.  not super significant, but i'm usually more accurate at guessing than that.  i'm losing my touch.  anyway, i digress...


i would say 26-27 based on looks alone, though i'm getting a confident, mature vibe, just that you sort of convey a comfortable-in-your-own-skin thing, which may account for people being surprised at how young you are.


(and i see NO wrinkles in that picture!)

You are going to tell us how old you actually are, right?

25 was my first guess.  Your skin actually looks wrinkle-free to me - younger than 25 - but there's something about you that conveys maturity (in a good way).  Oh, and I actually love the eyebrow thing ...

You are SO pretty! I would guess twenty-five. I showed your picture to my bf who guessed early twenties. In fact, he said, "she looks young." So there you go!!

You are way too cute and my first thought was: What wrinkles?! I would guess 26, maybe 27.

I think you look about 26-27.


I'm ALWAYS mistaken for being older and I think it has to do with self-confidence and maturity.  I really think it has more to do with how you act and how you carry yourself than how you look.  Anyway, I've found that I can use it to an advantage in some situations, so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

25, except you look like you have it together so that's why people probably think you're older. I get that too...I'm 21 and people keep telling me I look 25-26 at work. I've been getting that since I was 18. People keep prefacing it with the "you look yonug, but you also look like you have it together more than your peers. ITA with NCShopper's explanation. 


At which point I turn on the paranoia and start searching for the great amzing item that will stop all wrinkles/undereye circles/etc. etc. etc.


(IIRC, you are older than 25 and therefore if you must obsess about something, let it be mositurizer)

I'd say 25-26. I think I know how old you really are (although I can't remember how or if I'm right) and I definitely don't think you look older than your age. If anything, younger. I agree with the other girls about confidence. For some reason I think no one thinks a woman can be mature and confident with herself if she hasn't passed the 30 threshold. It's weird. I think you look great!
