How old do people think I am?

Post Reply New Topic

People used to consistently think I'm a decade younger than my actual age, and I wonder if that has changed. It's been a few years since anyone has told what they guessed my age to be. I have more grey hair now and bags under my eyes. It's one of those things I'd just have to wait hope someone will casually mention at a random moment, as it feels really weird to just go around asking. I tried posting a photo here to see what people think, but for some reason I can't get it to post.

If I do look like I'm in my late 20s/early 30s, is that something I can use to my advantage? Should I be willing to "settle" for a partner who looks 40 if I don't? Dating apps require I enter my birthday and display my age, and women who filter by age will never see what I look like. I've also been told that being childless makes me a "catch". But does that mean I'm settling if I date a single mother? If it's an attractive quality in me, shouldn't I also seek it in a potential partner?

You're asking all the wrong questions if what you want is a relationship.

If you're looking to hook up for a few hours, that'll be based only on looks and immediate 'chemistry' and therefore cannot be determined on a website.
