I guessed 58 to 63 (I’m 57).
Unfortunately, I had to crop the photos to get out my husband and daughter - I didn’t want the presence of others to influence anyone.
**lieu **- I was a whole lot younger when we met - pretty close to 10 years ago, I’m thinking!
**EmilyG **- That’s why I said in the OP that this wasn’t an ego thread. I really want to know how old I look to others, based on whatever criteria they use. And as I think about it, there are so many factors that could influence the impression: not only my facial expression, but my clothing, as well as anything else in the picture. I can’t help but wonder if I’d tried to dress younger and relied on hair and accessories one would see on 20-something, would I have come across as older and somewhat desperate?
Assuming everyone is being honest (like there’s anything to gain by trying to flatter me with lies) I can understand why no one is offering me the geezer discounts when I go out and about. Altho I would bet that a larger part of it is someone being afraid to offend me by suggesting that I might be old enough to rate 5% off…
Small pic kind of hard to make out details but I’d say somewhere in your mid 50’s
<ETA> Not too far off. BTW I just turned 45
Nice smile!
I am 56 and I am guessing 43. Although I am old enough that I should know better than to honestly do this!
And I am horrible at it!
I guessed late 40s, early 50s. I’m 46
I guessed mid-50’s, but I am TERRIBLE at guessing age.
It just occurred to me that those of us who are bad at guessing ages would make terrible eyewitnesses. How helpful is it to narrow it down to a couple of decades? Let’s see:

I’m pretty sure the investigators would walk away from me just shaking their heads.
I first thought 50’s, then changed that to 40’s. Reading the thread let me know I was closer with my initial impression. I’m in my 60’s.
I’m 29 and I’m guessing around 55.
50, maybe as high as 55.
I’m 34.
I guessed 60. I’m not normally squeamish about my age (which is easily found if you search through my postings here), but the other day a drugstore clerk asked me if I was over 65, and I was not happy.
I’m 44 and 3/4, guessing you are 50.
This is true. I’m bad at recognizing faces also. I’d be useless as a witness to identify a person.
Oh, and I’m 32.
50-55, I’m 45
I would have guessed (and I think I did this when we were in person) 45-50. But I must admit to having a bad reputation of guessing ages. I just don’t think of people in terms of years lived so much as life lived.
My guess was mid 50s.
I’m 40.
I guessed 51-52.
I’m 49 years, 4 months, and 7 days old. Yes - I’m fighting it.
I think it’s amazing that your hair is not colored. I don’t see any sign of gray.
And MeanOldLady is 32?
