You and **OctalCode** and **QueenBruin** are three of my new favoritest posters, (as if you weren’t already). I’m not telling yet, in case someone else wants to guess.

[QUOTE=bbs2k]  
I don’t know why I like this game so much, I’m not very good at eye-ballin’ peoples. Okay, let’s break this down logically. On one hand no one over 30 should have “myspace pics”. On the otherhand no one under 40 should wear customized couple t-shirts.

I’m baffled I tell yah.  
[/QUOTE]  
Would it help if I mentioned that at my college, the girls are referred to as Bennies and the guys are called Johnnies? And the girl in the picture and I are not romantically linked.

**fachverwirrt** , that’ll teach me to only look at the last picture! From the other three I would guess somewhere around 25.

**Troubleagain** -30  
**Roland Orzabal** -25  
**Indyellen** -35  
**Dolores Reborn** -40  
**Dunawake** -30  
**vivalostwages** -35

Hint:She’s the same age  
Answer:27

Wow, I’m surprised by how many people got it on the nose. I’m 29. Low guess was 22, high guess was 33, I think.

I’m horrible at guessing ages via photos, so I’ll stick to my rule about giving compliments instead:

tesseract: gorgeous long hair!  
Eidolon: you look like someone fun to hang around with, but I’d sure hate to get on your bad side!  
ErinPuff: breath of innocence  
Schwartz: always love a man in uniform! (lived in a college town, close to an army base - it was the best of both worlds for a long time!)  
Robot Arm - prankster, creative  
Aesiron: calm, cool, dependable  
Thorp: love the glasses! strong (intellectually)  
Hal - cheerful  
Drain - love the hair, love the eyes!  
Monkey: if I were a lost animal I’d follow you home  
Bruin - you look so sad! great dress, btw  
fisha - brings a hearty smile to liven up the place  
Ms Purl: remind me of a young Winona Ryder  
bbs2k: always prepared! (must have address so I know where to go when invaded)  
Diosa: smokin! (love the smirk!)  
DrCube: should not be underestimated  
Sublight: reminds me of Stephen King (you have the “writer’s look”)  
HazelNutCoffee: should be a model  
Noone: red hair? is that red hair? purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr  
Gail: peacekeeper  
OctalCode: rock-n-roll bay-bee!  
Threshold: The Graduate  
fachverwirrt: men in kilts! yumm!  
Chefguy: wise  
Q E D: man of all trades  
interface: this is the man behind the french gigalo emails (lol, sorry, just pictured you with a french accent, swooning all the ladies)  
Nightingale - best friend material  
TroubleAgain - red hair AND green eyes? did I tell you about my single bmf??? 😃  
Glazer: roadtrip! mountains? egypt? Australia?  
Stickler: take me to your Beer! 😃  
Indyellen: glowing, radiant! (I heard weddings will do that to some people)  
Ice Machine: you remind me of someone…  
Orzabal: blue, green, or brown… maybe purple or red next go around? (ps you missed me, but that’s ok)  
Viva - 2.5 yrs ago? live girl, live! dont be some camera shy! strike a pose!  
Dolores - teach me to cook AND give me your kitchen!  
Dunawake - reminds me of Donald Sutherland  
GorillaMan: couldnt view, ?

A R Cane - thank you 🙂  
fisha - yes, my Demon is… evil… but in a good way. He’s the one who whispers in my ear and keeps me from paying any attention to what those damn ricekrispies are sayin. Of course, this means my plan for world domination has gone into cruise mode.

Everyone’s low (correcting for **Inner Stickler** ’s new answer); **CairoCarol** was close.
