Launched by Microsoft, this website guesses your age

It said I was 40 in two pictures and 26 in another. I'm in my early thirties.

I am not impressed! :mad:

Yeah I often freely give my image to marketing departments, that then can be linked to information they already have of you ....

Apparently by uploading your picture, you are giving Microsoft consent to use your photo in future marketing adverts!

I just tried a photo of my little boy when he was 18 months old and it said he was a 15 year old girl.

Pile of ****e!

Said I looked three years younger than my actual age.

Peregrine · 01-05-2015 8:53pm

I tried 6 pictures. The answers ranged from 38 to 45.

Screw this.

Not wanting to burst your bubble but just maybe they mean 1926?

:pac:

It told me it was bad manners to tell a lady her age.

Who was I to argue

I'm a 41 yo male. Smiley face gave me 23. Neutral face gave me 32. Every single person guesses my age as 26. Not 25, not 27....26.

ie. it's far off my real age but not far off what other people guess.

It usually comes up when a topic concerning anything about the 70's or 80's is discussed.

I get similar reactions when I tell people am 41. The app said using 3 different pictures that I was 31, 25 and 21. Happy with that!

Tried 3 different photos, got 47, 67 and 53. I get that a lot but not THAT old. ;_;

Ghost Train · 01-05-2015 10:23pm

one photo added 13 years, another was spot on, and another was -2 years

tried a few other photos of familty/friends, overall most weren't too far off

NotYourYear20 · 01-05-2015 10:30pm

Tried it twice, was 8 years older the first time and 2 years younger the second time. I had the same expression for both photos

Lollipop95 · 02-05-2015 12:36am

I'm 20... one photo they guessed I was 21...another 33. A no makeup one received 27, while another one(very similar) got.... 76 :eek: wtf! My 6 month old nephew got 72!! :eek: My 31 year old sister got 56. I tried another photo and it guessed I was 11 Only one photo with no makeup (It was literally nearly identical to the one that said I was bleedin 76) guessed my correct age.

Basically my opinion on it is:

ITS A CROCK OF **** OF THE HIGHEST ORDER

fussyonion · 02-05-2015 12:43am

I'm pushing 29 and it said I looked 22.
I'm thrilled silly.

StripedBoxers · 02-05-2015 12:55am

I tried three different photos, two from the same event, got 13 and 27 for those (I was 19), and for the third, I got 51 (I was 18).

I'm in my mid-twenties now, and don't look anywhere near 51.

You do a bit now in fairness, Striped.

Penny Tration · 02-05-2015 11:31am

My sister tried this. Used a photo of her and I. In the photo, I was 23 and she was 14.

It guessed her as 48 and me as 77.

Wtf?!

Valentina · 02-05-2015 11:49am

I tried two photos. The first one it guessed me as 6 years younger than I am. The second, 9 years younger.

So obviously I'm thrilled

Irish Guitarist · 02-05-2015 2:33pm

I just tried a load of photos. In order I look 42, 38, 46, 46 again, 45, 40, 49 and 38 again. I'm really 39.

Rosie Rant · 02-05-2015 6:09pm

I tried 3 photos, I got 19, 27 (my actual age) and 33. Not too bad!

Asmooh · 02-05-2015 6:12pm

Mugatuu · 02-05-2015 6:43pm

I tried three photos, 25,12 and 21

Actual age is 22! No idea how it came up with 12!
