That's been happening to me all my life, and I'm only 31. When I was 17 and transferring to a new high school, they thought I was the substitute teacher. When I was 19 and in art school a group of women in their 40's and 50's said they assumed I was 'their age.' Then when I was about 20/21, I went to Elitch's in Denver and they guessed I was in my late 30's. I don't even want to know how old they think I am now. Especially after the stressful past year has left me fatter and with giant rings under my eyes and new gray hairs. Personally...in short...I think you look great. If I were a guy and I was your age, I'd be very proud of how I looked, and also of the kind of person I was. And for the record my thought was late 30's...maybe my husband's age (37/38.)

Looking at your kids and guessing their ages she then exprapolated your age from that. It probably had very little to do with how you look. Having said that, my Dad has a friend that is a dermatologist. He said he could guess anyone's age to within a year. They doubted him, but stopped after he was never wrong. He looks asubtle things including elbows (elbows?) Apparently skina accumulates on the elbow as you age and no one gets elbow-lifts (thank god!)

Dad said 23 (woo hoo!). Mom said 43, which is all fine and accurate and boring, except that she said she "studied" the photo for a long time and finally narrowed it down to...wait for it...your eyebrows. You have the eyebrows of a 43 year old, but other than that look much longer. Can't make that stuff up, Fatty. Mom & Dad are in their mid and late 60s. Dad said 23 (woo hoo!).

If you consider it this was then you can happily disregard those that are grossly inaccurate/not to your taste as being rubbish at this particular accuracy task. :-) Clearly this is an experiment in how well people can guess ages rather than how old you appear.
