I’m sure you’ve heard of that site that people have been using this week to guess how old you are by uploading a photo – How-Old.net – and people getting excited about posting their results. “Look how young it guessed me!”
People who know me always guess me to be way younger than I really am. My entire life, my mom has also looked a lot younger and guessed to be much younger than her actual age, so I must have inherited those good genetics from her.
I thought, well I’ll give this a shot and see just how much younger I look!
The first picture I tried was the one I use for my profile picture in my Twitter account (link to my feed in the sidebar).
It guessed me to be a fifty-six year old man.
😐
The fuck?
Next, I tried a photo of my mom and I that was taken last November. The photo was taken a few days after my mom’s 75th birthday.
Want to see the guess?
…
Fifty.
Nine.
Year.
Old.
MAN.
Nothing like being told by a robot – when you’re already feeling shitty about how you look because you’re overweight and stressed – is that you look like you’re nearly 20 years older and a man.
THANKS. THANKS INTERNET. I’m going to crawl into a ball now.
