    This is probably a thunderdrome thread in the making but

    I'm crap at guessing people's age. I can be 10 and 20 years off with some.

    i was 1-2 years off from the ones i guessed


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,937 ✭✭✭fade2black


    I just thought a 14 year old was 28.

    This could be dangerous for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,203 ✭✭✭Heyes


    Didnt appear to be too bad :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    I was about 4 years off with the couple I guessed from.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭takola


    Was only a year off with the couple I tried!

    I am the worst in the world at trying to put a plug in a socket by feeling around and not being able to see, like down back of couch.

    Bleedin wrecks my head, as it can take too long.

    Anyone else crap at this or any other mundane tasks??

    :p I have only been a year off on each one - not bad at all!

    Good practice for the night club.

    I've had many a shock on discovering a persons actual age.

    If you think that's bad you should try guessing the age of Italians between about 17 and 35 they all look the same age.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,498 ✭✭✭iFight


    I guessed 31 for a 14 year old. ;) The rest i was from 5 to 10 years off, and a few i got one year off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 773 ✭✭✭#Smokey#


    tried bout 15 and got 8 dead on. the rest were between 1-3 years off except for one who was 5 years off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Take your initial guess and subtract about 4 or 5 years... works (almost) every time.

    Bloody kids.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭Dooom


    Aw I was way off on most of them. Thankfully they were all older than I thought, so it's not that bad.

    That's a really odd site - people just post their photos for other people to guess their age? Hmmm weirdos


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,395 ✭✭✭Marksie


    I was saying they were all older..i could be in deep sh** lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    Before this I thought I was good at guessing people's ages. I thought a 17 year old was 23 and a 19 year old was 33. Christ. :eek:

    EDIT: And an 18 year old was 40! Bloody hell.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭bluto63


    I got within a year or two for most of them except for one which I was off by about 7 years

    Yep, I'm off to hand myself in to the nearest police station.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kdouglas


    got a few dead on and a few about 5 years older than they were, whoops....

    this lady here looks slightly like a vampire tho, was tempted to say she's about 200


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


    sweet jesus I just thought a 12 year old was 20, I feel slightly uncomfortable right now

    mind you...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭Dooom


    I don't think anyone here should be a bouncer tbh. There'd be drunken 12 year olds falling everywhere.
    And judging by some, it might be best those people stay far, far, far away from that club.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20 Delilah


    ..give up guessing! can't even do it rightly well. makes me uncomfortable with my instincts which i've always trusted eversince...:confused::confused::confused:
