Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Launched by Microsoft, this website guesses your age

    You upload a photo, v. easily done if you have a smart phone. Just grab one from your gallery and it'll make a guess.

    I was told I look 40. I'm still in my twenties, albeit in the the second half. I don't think it's programmed to deal with beards very well.. see what it guesses.
    I can't post links as a new user.

    The site is "how-old" followed by ".net"

    It seems to constantly overestimate by 10-15 years from the photos I tried

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    It said I don't look a day over 20 and I'm a handsome beast.

    Come back to us when you are 24 and they say you look 29.

    You won't be booming then

    Am 29, told me I was 32. Sad times.

    Edit: It got my girlfriend's age exactly right.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,589 ✭✭✭hairyslug


    It was only 2 years out for me and 5 years out for my da, not sure how old my sister is but if she is older that 47 she will be happy


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭Penny Tration

    So, it was pretty accurate? :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 255 ✭✭Mechanical Clocktail


    I tried a different picture and it said I look 44. Apparently I look old enough to be my own father.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    I wonder what age it will think my penis is...


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,087 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    I'm 32, I got 29 and 22 for one. Can hold off on the Botox for a couple more years


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,715 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    I'm 36. It said 43. Which means I can sit back and relax for the next 7 years, I'm so far ahead of myself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,298 ✭✭✭DareGod

    You're happy that you look older?? That's such an alien concept to me at this stage.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,534 ✭✭✭KKkitty


    I'm 33 and got 26. My day is made :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,515 ✭✭✭Outkast_IRE


    It said my dog is 6, she is actually 9.

    No other pet photos work, got lucky with one


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,977 ✭✭✭PandaPoo


    Guessed 23 for me. I'm 26 :)

    I'm choosing to blame the beard too


  • Registered Users Posts: 92 ✭✭Volovo


    Apparently Santa Claus is 46


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭Custardpi


    It seems to throw out different answers depending on light conditions, the angle the photo is taken from etc. Tested it with a few photos of myself from a recent night out. Results ranged from 4 years younger than my real age (wahey!) to 8 years older (boo!). Funnily enough my best result was with a photo taken towards the end of the night, when I was on my 10th or so beer. Perhaps that's the key to looking young.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,143 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    It got my daughter right and aged me up a decade...


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,075 ✭✭✭markc1184


    Said 33 for me, I'm 30.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,405 ✭✭✭Lukker-


    It got me bang on the money.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,866 ✭✭✭Fat Christy


    It guessed 44....


    I'm 23.....

    Cnut of a thing. :mad:
