Missed the edit, but wanted to add that you have great skin going for you. Particularly on your chest and arms. ---

I’m 57; I guessed late 40’s. You have very little gray but it doesn’t look like your hair is colored, and your face and hands are relatively unwrinkled and unblemished. By 60, most of us have substantial gray and a lot more wrinkles and skin blemishes, especially those of us who don’t have a darker complexion. I’m guessing you’re not a big sunbather! ---

I guessed no more than 50. Lookin good! (I’m 55.) ---

I thought “mid- to late-fifties.” I’m 46 and work with a lot of ladies in that age range which might have helped me. ---

I’m 37, my guess was mid 50s. ---

> [@Learjeff](#): > > I’m guessing you’re not a big sunbather! That is correct - I never saw the point. When I was younger and we went to the beach or the pool, I wanted to be swimming, not just lying around. Now that I’m older and wiser, I know better than to get too much - especially since having a carcinoma removed from my scalp a few months ago. :eek: We had sailboats for a lot of years, and I did get burns once in a while because I forgot to refresh my SPF. Now I try to avoid working too long in the sun, which is fairly easy since we have lots of trees around the yard. ---

I’m guessing 50-55. ---

My estimate was “somewhere in your 50s.” I am 59. Having looked at the spoiler, it looks like you have stayed out of the sun. Good for you. ---

I am 71 & 11 months + a bit. I know what age you are but if cold guessing I would have to go with a range of 50 to 65 as I know a lot of ladies who look just like you that are 50 to 65. Hair cut, smile, body type, they always make it hard for me to guess ladies age. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-old-do-i-look/724754.md?page=5)
