Woman asks people to guess her age – the response is shocking.

Sometimes the internet tends to humble you quickly. This is why, posing questions to strangers online, is not for the faint of heart. If you post content online, people will think they can leave whatever comments they want and it is warranted.

This woman thought she would pose a simple question to the internet; how old do I look? A question that came from general curiosity that most of us have… turned into a life lesson not just for her but for everyone on the internet.

A woman posted a video on TikTok and asked viewers a simple question; to guess her age. However, nothing could have prepared her for the answers she received which she simply said were ‘wild.’

Emily Jane posted a video of herself sans makeup and social media filters and asked people to guess how old she was. She was shocked to see that some thought she was in her forties, her fifties, while some even thought she was in her sixties!

“I’m 56, my guess is that you are close to 47,” one commenter wrote.

“I’m 42. I’d guess you’re around 51,” another person pondered.

“A really attractive 42, and I’m 29,” someone shared.

The answer that took the cake for Emily was one commenter who thought she was 58 years old.

“Do I genuinely look like I’m nearly 60? Like I’m nearly at retirement age? Do I actually look that old?” she asked in a follow-up video.

A lot of people of course also thought she was in her thirties and a few thought she was still in her twenties as well. The guesses were of a wide range.

Emily however, was shocked at people who guessed she was so old and finally revealed the truth about her age.

“I turned 36 last week, so only just 36,” she said.

And she is well aware of why people think shes older, its because she has stopped dying her naturally grey hair.

“I’ve had grey hair for quite some time now and it is a natural grey. I started going grey around 19, and people think because I’ve got grey hair, I’m over 50,” she said in her video.

She said even with her grey hair, she was shocked people were guessing she was older.

She said in the original video, that the eyebags she had were a result of sleepless nights because of having a newborn baby. She also said she wore no makeup or filters which might have given people pause, but in her opinion she looked totally normal.

“I’ve never had any work done. This is my face, and this is what I look like, and I think this is what most people my age would look like without a filter,” she shared.

She theorized in her video that peoples’ guesses for her age had less to do with her and more to do with how social media has conditioned people to view women.

She said that these days most people do not know what a woman looks like naturally since social media promotes cosmetic interventions and the use of filters to alter appearances.

“I think it is essential to remember that what you see on social media and what you see on television or what you’ve seen in magazines, and people have said this for years, it is not real. What’s your take?” she asked.

“Do you think we have a warped perception of age based on what we’ve been exposed to on social media?” she asked her viewers.

Some people however did not agree with her and said it was just her grey hair that was aging her.

“36 going on 60. It probably is the hair that ages you but you are still very gorgeous,” one person wrote.

“I think you look your age. I think it’s people’s perception that we only get white hair when we age. They can’t get past it,” another added in argument.

“It is just the hair that ages you. Your skin looks great,” someone shared.
While another person added, “I think people get confused by a younger person feeling comfortable growing their gray hair out.”

Whatever the case might be, Emily Jane seems to be happy just the way she is! Share this story with others to see if they can guess her age right!
