How old would you guess I am?

[StellaBlue]

Poll question: How old would you guess I am?

Here I am, last year, and last week:





I ask because people are constantly making wildly inaccurate assumptions about my age. It's kinda funny, kinda infuriating.

[ps1074]

1. pics are broken for me

But I voted 28-30 :hi:

[StellaBlue]

2. haha

[Deep13]

3. Old enough to know better, but not old enough to care.

:)

[kay1864]

4. I voted 22-24

The bottom pic, you look like you should have horns, but they got cropped out! :evilgrin:

[StellaBlue]

5. Thanks!

I like that.

:hi:

[Lars39]

6. Older than your teeth, younger than your hair.

:)

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. I'm disqualifiying myself

because you mentioned your age not long ago.

But in any case, you sure are purty. :loveya:

[StellaBlue]

8. haha

Thanks.

Only you know whether that makes you a paedophile or a man who likes mysterious older women. hahaha

[kay1864]

9. I'm reminded of David Letterman's line when he turned 59...

"I'm at that awkward age--too old for Demi Moore, too young for Anna Nicole Smith"

:rofl:

[StellaBlue]

10. that IS good

:rofl:

[StellaBlue]

11. shameless kick

I am waiting for a public outcry to reveal my real age, like my favorite guy, Al Gore.

[kay1864]

25. Well okay then...

Public outcry! PUBLIC OUTCRY!!!!

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. 62. n/t

[StellaBlue]

13. And we have a winner!!!

Just kidding.

But thanks. My best friend suggested yesterday that I dye a big, Anne Bancroft style, grey streak in my hair. I did purple instead.

[bridgit]

14. 22-24...

:shrug:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

15. Other: Drop-dead gorgeous.

Oh... you're asking about age? Well... as someone who turned 26 today, I'd say you're around my age, give or take a few years.

[StellaBlue]

17. Bwhahaha

:rofl:

thanks

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

16. I know that feeling.

People guess my age between 16 and 28. :shrug:

My sister is 18 and people ask who's older half the time.

[StellaBlue]

18. Here's a pic of me ten years ago

[kay1864]

19. You were only 12 inches tall then?

:+

[kay1864]

20. How often do you still get carded?

And do clerks do double-takes?

[StellaBlue]

22. every time, just about

yes

They are surprised by the decade they see on my ID

[Call Me Wesley]

21. 35. Plus/minus 2 years. (nt)

[Derailer]

31. shitlist

big time :D

[StellaBlue]

33. nah

that NEVER happens

so it's kinda refreshing

[Call Me Wesley]

34. You know:

Don't ask, don't let me tell. Or something.

I was never good at it. :blush:

[Ariana Celeste]

23. I vote 22-24

:hi:

[StellaBlue]

24. Two stories

I go to an RV show with my dad (last summer). When we get up to the ticket booth, the attendant says to him, "One child and one adult?". The cut-off for kids' tickets was 12. :shrug:

* * *

I go camping in West Texas for Memorial Day Weekend. I am riding in the backseat of an extended cab pickup truck, my two friends in the front seat, ages 27 and 32. We stop at a Best Western to look for a room on the last night, and some random dude walks up to our window to tell us every motel in town is full. Craning over to look in the backseat, he says to my friends, "Is that your daughter?".

* * *

I am 5'0".

[StellaBlue]

26. Drumroll please

I was born in

[Derailer]

27. you know in your profile you link to your myspace account

where it says you are 26. Imagine my disappointment to find you were telling the truth!

[StellaBlue]

28. hahahahahaha

Everything on my myspace is true.

And thanks for the advertisement. ;)

[Derailer]

29. I was hoping you were Barely Legal

;)

[StellaBlue]

30. hahahahaha

(moving away from window...)

[Derailer]

56. do guys at all find

your 7'3" muscle-bound physique off-putting?

Everything on my myspace is true.

[StellaBlue]

57. hahahaha - okay, except for that

I don't want to be defined by my short stature, so I chose not to put it on there

;)

Plus my friends think it's hilarious. I am all the other things, though, including a foot soldier in the sarcasm attack.

[grace0418]

63. I guessed right! I thought about 26/27

You were scaring me though. I thought you were going to say 42 or something and I was going to get very depressed at how much older I look than you (I'm 36).

[Marie26]

32. Oops

Sometimes it helps to read the thread, first. :)

[StellaBlue]

35. At about-to-turn-27, with two degrees, and having lived abroad...

I just get really tired of people not taking me seriously. They have NO IDEA. But you have to laugh. At them. Loudly.

[Marie26]

43. Yeah, it's tough

But just laugh at 'm & don't take it too seriously. I've notice sometimes it depends on what you're wearing too. In a suit, I'm treated like an adult. In jeans, I'm a college student. Oh, well. I guess it's better to look too young rather than looking too old, huh?

[StellaBlue]

49. Except half the people thought I was over 40!

hahaha

[Marie26]

54. Even tougher! lol. nt

[Marie26]

55. ..

[Derailer]

36. you mean to say you aren't 42?

I guess I just assumed...

[Marie26]

39. LOL!

Nope - 26. I was dumb enough to put it in my screen name. Oh, well. And you are... 53?

[Derailer]

42. well I think the last thing I would've guessed was 26

24 here

[Marie26]

44. Close enough. :)

Whoa, I was way off! Why would that be the last thing you'd assume?

[Derailer]

45. because its in your screename

I think I would believe you put your height of 2'6" in your SN before your age lol

[Marie26]

46. Oh, we don't

get paranoid about that until a little later. I'll probably stay at 30 for a few years.

[Derailer]

48. but also because you have to change your SN every year

until 29 at least :D

[Marie26]

52. Do'h!

Never thought of that.

[LSK]

37. 26 cuz you mentioned it in a thread last week in GD

:P

[Derailer]

38. whos the creepy stalker type now?

oh


still me 8p

[LSK]

40. she better not look out her window

:hide:

:P

[StellaBlue]

41. In my own opinion, I think I look about my age

maybe a *little* younger... I can see people mistaking me for like 23 or whatever, but asking my friends if I'm their KID? How high are YOU? haha

I have a few light wrinkles around my eyes, sun damage from all those youthful years spent swimming, and I am curvy, too, so... I don't see why people think I am like 14. :shrug:

Mostly they don't once they hear me talking (usually shit about the government, riddled with colorful expletives).

[scoey1953]

47. AAAAAAAAAAAAAK..are you crazy?

I was always told" Never , ask or guess a woman's age"...
You do not make points either way. I don't even know my Fiance's age, just that she
is younger than I...and I don't intend to ask. I do know her birthday is July 11th
and thats all I need to know..

[Derailer]

50. I think she made sure the answer was out there

for anybody interested to find. That way people would post and flatter her with guesses of 18 or so :)

Obviously guessing blind is suicide lol

[StellaBlue]

53. no, actually

I was really curious, as so many people EVERY week thing I am in high school.

Edited to add: and I would prefer to look my age and get some RESPEKT! Booyakasha!

[Derailer]

60. Right but wouldn't you

rather be a really-mature-for-your-age 18 yo than a young-at-heart 35 yo?

[StellaBlue]

62. meh

It's all relative.

To death.

:rofl:

Seriously, I feel like I am getting to the age where it's not amusing anymore. People say the RUDEST things. Like, WHAT are people thinking when they say things like, "Are you even old enough to vote?" or "Nah! Let me see your ID!" (in a non-alcohol-purchasing situation). Am I going to think it's FUNNY? I don't get it.

[Derailer]

67. I guess we have opposite problems

People have been telling me I'm "mature" for my age for so long, I'm fucking sick of it lol

[StellaBlue]

51. I'm a bad Southerner

I don't play by the rules.

Those women who say shit like that aren't fooling anybody.

I will be PROUD to be 60.

$0.60.

I am also happy to announce that I weigh 126 pounds, which people also wouldn't guess. I need to go to a fair and win a stuffed animal at the 'guess your age and weight' booth, come to think of it!

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

65. I don't mind people asking my age.

If they say I don't look almost 40, I just tell them this IS what almost 40 looks like!

[kay1864]

58. Where have you lived abroad?

Was it for study? Work? Visiting the family chateau? :shrug:

[StellaBlue]

59. Did an MA in the UK

then stayed a further three years with my ex :grr:

LONG story

[kay1864]

64. MA=Master of Arts?

[StellaBlue]

66. yeah

nt

[Bucky]

61. 37 years, 8 months, 3½ days, give or take an hour. But born at night.

Probably during a full moon.
