How old are you?

woodbine

This isn't me being nosey, but many of us take part in this forum on a daily basis, and I sort of have a picture of many of you in my head, but i'm rubbish at guessing ages.

Anyway I'll start the ball rolling i'm 61 (62 in Feb).

And please feel free not to join in 

66Mustang

I’m 27

Good idea for a thread

49 and my daughter says i'm old lol. She has ASD and doesn't understand numbers.

Condiments, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be the oldest here, tho I'm as young as 66Mustang in my head. When I was in my 40s I said to my son (about 9 at the time) that I was middle-aged. He said, I couldn't know, & I asked him what he meant. He explained that I would need to know how old I would be when I would die, & then you would halve that, & that's when you would be middle-aged!

I'm 67, shhh...don't tell anyone.

Tori, how did you become 'Terrible Tori' at only 22? Must admit the alliteration works well (& thinking back to the numbers game. )

Stan23

26!!! 

Tori_Scope

Your secret is safe with us @chiarieds  

I could never tell you how I became so terrible... There's only room for one Terrible Tori on the community.

So far the consensus seems to be that us "older" ones don't feel our age, I must admit that in my head i'm 30 years younger. pity the rest of my body feels 30 years older 

MrAllen1976

44, but according to various quizzes on Facebook, based on my profile pic I look about 28.

Ami2301

Absolutely!  In a similar vane, considering that I can never know which part of life will be the 'middle' for a midlife crisis, I've decided to just have an ongoing crisis that will definitely cover the middle...

In contrast to the older members feeling younger I have to say I have always been older than I am

Most of my hobbies and interests seem to be shared with older people and a lot of my opinions and behaviours can be likened to those of older people as well. Thinking back, when I was a child I would always sit with the adults on social occasions while all the children played together haha.

I also never got to do all the crazy things that most young people get to do, but not sure I’d want to do some of them to be honest, maybe when I’m older I’ll have a mid life crisis and go to university and travel the world and do other stuff that young people do

OverlyAnxious

My drivers licence suggests that I'm 28, though my body suggests 48! 

I'll continue to say 'mid 20's' until my 30th birthday though...

62 until Monday! I was a Christmas baby. I do feel a lot younger though, working with a lot of young people keeps me young that's just one of the reasons I want to carry on working past retirement age. 

AlisonNetty

58 but feel older when my body starts to.play up! Which is most days.....but age is only a number it's how you feel about live that matters. 

MrAllen1976

Like I said I'm mid 40s but look late 20s, but I'm not bothered, as long as I look old enough to get served in most Pubs and buy Dad's annual bottle of Whisky from Tesco without getting age questioned by some numpty on the Checkout, I don't mind.

lisathomas50

My photo doesnt look so good but I am a young 58 I don't act my age unless I have to I am bouncy and bubbly  I love talking  I have never felt my age I don't dress my age  I love life but when I go down  I go down with a  big bump but then I come back up I am a forever young  21 always lol ha ha 

cupcake88

Hi all
I'm 47 feel 80 act 20 sometimes 

lisathomas50

I love it 47 feeling 80 lol you sent that message at the right time you have just saved me from a full blown panic attack I have been ok for months I think its because I have let the lockdown get to me  thank you and you made me laugh lol 

Helsinkiships

@lisathomas50 your welcome its took me awhile to reply because I lost my glasses looked everywhere (including the fridge) they were only on the top of my head lol

lisathomas50

Ha ha you are cheering me up glad I am not the only one who does that I had a cataract  operation four weeks ago  and I have a distance lense in my eye so when it comes to small writing I have a magnifying glass I put it down then I csnt remember where lol I was supposed to have my eye test on 31st December but are on lockdown  with no end date so probably won't be haveing that now 

Helsinkiships

@lisathomas50 well with luck it will still go ahead for you and just think of this lockdown as a Christmas brake like when we were kids no homework no-one shouting at you for talking in class and you can have "nanna" naps instead of playing outside 

lisathomas50

I am on my own this year lol and we are in lockdown  till probably march  but I am ok  I am see myself as lucky I have a nice home I survived corona virus I have a family and I have scope and people on here and I live in a lovely village so can't complain
