    Ok, so the other night somebody thought I was a much different age to what I actually am, and it's not the first time either.

    So what age do you folk reckon I am? If you know don't say. Although I don't know why anyone here would know. Gulp:o

    Poll added, I want to see if over 30's think I'm older/younger than under 30's :P

    Tis. And I have to say, out of all the anonymous guys I've gone to the cinema with from the internet since, nothing has topped that ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,916 ✭✭✭Brian017

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,390 ✭✭✭Stench Blossoms


    Bout 23...oh and hello ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,518 ✭✭✭✭dudara


    Somewhere around 27 or so I'd say. You look kind of young at first glance, but there's something there that makes me think you're older.

    I think you look 25-27, you could look younger if you had a sleep and a shave.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,840 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Sleep and a shave? haha.

    I'm just looking down and the lighting happens to darken my eye area and then the laptop screen makes it look kinda blue, no bags under them eyes or anything thanks very much:D

    As for a shave? I haven't had a wet shave in 3 years or more so that wont be happening either ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 274 ✭✭Featherl


    23, 24, but no more than 25. Whats true age?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,417 ✭✭✭Miguel_Sanchez


    I dunno. Forty?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,124 ✭✭✭kittensoft1984


    24 max id say


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    Bad photo. Show us one of you in decent light!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    I'm over 30, but polls annoy me, so unfortunately I couldn't resist purposely choosing the poll option most likely to crush your confidence.

    I didn't read the rest of the thread, but I'd say mid-twenties..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,229 ✭✭✭Susannahmia


    Its hard to tell you look around 23 but theres something about you that makes youlook a bit older. I picked 25


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 62 ✭✭Popsicle


    As another poster said, you look young enough at first glance, but I'd say 29!;)

    You've been single for 3 years? ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭fuzzywiggle


    I'd say about 24

    Are you goin to tell us what age you actually are? i wont get a wink of sleep until you tell us!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,840 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Hmm interesting that a lot of the +30 voters think I'm older compared to the under 30's.

    When it gets to 100 or more voters I'll say, it's at 84 now :p

    Moonbaby, what's shaving got to do with being single:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,382 ✭✭✭✭rainbowtrout


    i reckon 23

    Good point, I'd say worrying about how old you look would have by far the bigger effect.;)

    As an over 30 chappy myself I voted for about 28. I wouldn't worry though as the over 30's might have failing eyesight so.......

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Because stubble rash gets old, so I think most women would shear you.

    Nah, I disagree ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 606 ✭✭✭NeoRox


    You look about 23.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,840 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    6 more votes and I'll say :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 268 ✭✭dublad23


    A Hot 28!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 595 ✭✭✭speaktofrank


    Just voted, I get the same by the way, I just turned 30 but people say I look 22-26
    I think you are in late twenties or possibly even 30.

    Actually I did have a BF with a wonderful personality once, who I made grow stubble to try and make him less hideous.
    It didn't work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,840 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Ok that's 101 votes now.

    I'm 23! Well hmm, at least it was the highest % of votes, but still, some people honestly thought I was 30+?!?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    You didn't say what age people mistake you for?
    I think people might assume that you are older but look younger and that is why you asked.
    That might explain your 30's.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,840 ✭✭✭✭cormie


    Oh yeah, well one lady, think she was about 35 herself, said she thought I was 32, then a 30yr old lady the other night thought I was 30 too and they were both pretty shocked when I said I was 23:o

    You wanted to make your ex look "less hideous"? Jeez, the sparks must have been flying the night you guys met. Love at first sight?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I'm a redhead and it can be difficult for people to guesstimate our ages, so I notice that alot of people just assume I'm the same age as themselves. Some ould fella in work with children my age asked me if I was 40! I can only assume he was looking for a slap :mad:


    Yes, the cerebral attraction expierment went horribly wrong.

    Oops, I said i was over 30


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭fuzzywiggle


    If only 2 people thought you were over 30..then i wouldn't worry about it! If they were in their thirties too then it was probably wishful thinking!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 936 ✭✭✭marshmallow


    yay, I was right thinking 23!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack


    was thinking 24-26, wouldn't put you anywhere above that, too hot to be *old* :P

    don't worry bout it, when i was 17 i got called anything from 23-28, the young twenties comments went down a treat but i was not impressed with 28


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭Ya-Boy-Ya


    28 tops
