The guess the Doper's age thread

Fine, you’re right. I see four different people.

Arrggh!

ETA: 27 is way off.

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.

There, I removed the superfluous words for ya… makes sense now :smiley:

(Mods, please don’t kill me for altering a quote…)

:eek:

:mad:

:frowning:

Yeah, well, you’re 50.

:smiley:

I’m no good at guessing, but I’ll go ahead & post a pic to see what people think. I don’t believe I’ve ever referenced my age when posting (not that I’m well known, anyway…)

Formal Wedding Portrait (Sept. 2007) (I’m the chick. :slight_smile: )

Inner Stickler – Late 20’s
Indyellen – 40-ish.

40’s. You’re married, so therefore exempt. Your Maid of Honor though is a cute little chicky (33?), she’s allowed in the van.

I think that’s a compliment, so… :o :slight_smile:

I’m not too good at guessing ages so I’ll refrain until maybe later. However, I am curious how old I look. I’m not sure if I can link to facebook photos but here’s one a couple months ago and one this New Year’s.

If those don’t work, there are older ones here.

Yes, it is !!! :wink:

None of 'em work.

My mother and I confuse people when we go out together, because she looks too young to be my mom but too old to be my sister. I’ve gotten a lot of “I didn’t know your daugher was so old!” responses from her acquaintances.
:dubious:

Hostile Fetus - the very first college class I taught, I was waiting outside the classroom with some students for the previous class to end. We started chatting about something very general. When we finally got to go inside the classroom, I walked up to the podium and they did a double take - they’d obviously been expecting me to sit with them. Now on my first day of teaching I do my best to look as severe and teacherly as possible.

I’m 21 - I was really surprised to find people guessing older than that, because in person, people usually think I’m still in high school (unless I’m on campus, in which case they just think I’m a freshman). The picture I posted wasn’t entirely fair, I suppose; the original was really dark and I tried to fix it, but it still isn’t clear. Here’s another one taken the same day, which I decided against in my first post because I didn’t want people guessing fourteen.

I’m 38. :slight_smile:

It depends on which bridesmaid you’re referring to, bbs2k. If you’re talking about the one with the long dark hair, she’s the same age I am. (However, she’s engaged.) If you’re talking about the blond in the glasses, who actually WAS my Maid of Honor, that’s my daughter and she’s 14.

Doesn’t sound like you’ll be having anyone from my group in the van. :wink:

There is at least 10 years’ difference between the two photos. :eek: You do look very young in the second one.

They work for me. Maybe it has something to do with logging in. I also neglected to link to a specific photobucket picture, it was just the page listing the albums. Here’s one from there taken 13 months ago.

A lot of my Asian friends look younger than they are. My wife got mistaken for a young teenager alot when she was a good decade older, although now I tink she looks closer to her age. Her one sister still looks like a teenager and she’s in her early 30s now (it probably doesn’t help that I think she also acts like one).

I was once judging a high school science fair and was mistaken for another contestant. I think that had more to do with the long hair and earrings at the time and that I didn’t look very scholarly.

What the hell, I’ll throw my hat into the ring. Given that hair affects one’s apparent age, I’ll give you a few options:

Brown hair. What I normally have.
Blond hair. What I have right now (picture taken ten minutes ago)…holdover from Halloween.
Green hair. Halloween costume.
Blue hair. Ya gotta have blue hair. (Yes, I was a tad drunk, how could you tell?)

For my guesses – obligatory disclaimer that I really suck at this – checking the pic links in reverse order…

ErinPuff - 23
IndyEllen - 40
Inner Stickler - 25
Glazer - 38
Nightingale - 33
fachverwirrt - 29
interface2x - 27
QED, 41, and you look quite a bit like a guy I know who also lives in Richmond, but AFAIK you’re not a neonatal care physician, so you’re not him
Revenant - 23, but I’d have guessed 26 if you were dressed differently
Octalcode - 45
Gail - 38
Noone Special - 44, but I’d have gone mid-to-early thirties if the caption didn’t identify that girl as your daughter
HazelNutCoffee - 23, and while it’s probably far from original, how YOU doin’?
Sublight - 34
DrCube - 21
Diosa - 22
bbs2k - 28
Miss Purl - I know how old you are, but how is it that you get hotter every time we have one of these?
fisha - 30
Queen Bruin - 26
Hockey Monkey - 31
Drain Bead - 22
Sir Blah - 40
Aesiron - I know how old you are, but your first pic makes you look 32
SSG Schwartz - 30
Helen’s Eidolon - 28
tesseract - 33

Now to reread and find out if I came close. I suck at people mid-thirties to fifty or so, because my best-known example of that age range has always been my dad (that picture was taken last year; he’s 47).

Here I am, 2.5 years ago.

WTL = Where’s The Love? And my response was completely tongue-in-cheek. You pretty much nailed my response to anyone pointing a camera at me. And yes, it was a great trip; we saw many bears close up, including cubs.

[whine]But what about meeeeee? [/whine] Nobody’s tried to guess my age yet!
