Yes, I would say around 45yo. (Hello from a fellow 40s guy)

u/LocutusOfBorgia909 6d ago

I would say 40s, but more like early 40s. Possibly late 30s. I'm in my mid-40s and routinely get people who tell me that they assumed I was in my early- to mid-30s. I just credit good genetics (accurate, to be fair, my mother also looks significantly younger than her age) and my near-religious commitment to moisturizing and using something with SPF 50 to do so.

I'm 49 as well and I clocked you as age-kin right away! 😏

Must be the hose water (iykyk)

u/Dry_Yoghurt_5429 6d ago

Terrible picture for this lol. You look handsome yet the squint adds wrinkles and the almost frown (I'm assuming sun) ages you a bit.

Late 30s to early 40s I would guess.

In my area, only men under 35 have gauged ears. Imo if you are trying to look older, dressing like other 50 year old dudes would help.

I mean otherwise you look like a middle aged dude in a still-touring band. John Darnielle vibes, somewhat.

u/FFDPMENACE 5d ago

Nah not trying to look older at all, my gauges are from my metalcore years…. Which really is still to this day anyways

u/trans_catdad 5d ago

Having said that, I still would have assumed 38 at youngest, more likely early to mid 40s

u/missionbells 6d ago

You look 40s, but more like early 40s. The Sepultura shirt would also make me think 40s lol.

u/Calm_Salamander_1367 6d ago

I’d probably guess 45

u/WormDentist 6d ago

Mid to late 40s.

u/Hobbes_83 5d ago

Mid-end 40

u/Expensive-Deer-7281 6d ago

You do not. You look younger.

u/CaptMcPlatypus 6d ago

Late 30s-early 40s would be my guess. Definitely not 49. T did its magic though. You look great!

The older I am, the more difficult is it to guess anyone’s age (34 in a week). I roughly see people as children (up to 16), kids (up to 22), older kids (up to 29), people of the same age (up to 45-50, here it depends incredibly on background, could be higher), real adults (up to 70-80, mostly based on the level of cognitive function degeneracy, which could possibly start somewhere around there), old people (ofc all borders are not strict, just very roughly estimated). It’s all very dependent on the potential level of “went through some shit” as well as overall vibe. You look like the same age category and definitely not the upper range of it (for me people older than me with some bodymods or nonconforming in other ways are usually perceived closer to “my age” than those without any since were more likely to be on the same page about fundamental views on things like human rights; my brain’s visceral reaction just goes “potentially friend shape”, can’t help it). It’s all absolutely subjective of course.

PS you look good and I’m also jealous about industrial, my flats are too unflat 😩

u/FFDPMENACE 4d ago

Hahaha makes perfect sense

u/mylitteprince 6d ago

37 to 42 range, probably younger if you were smiling !

u/Itsjustkit15 6d ago

I don't think we need to be telling each other to smile. People can do whatever they want with their face. I get that smiling can brighten a person's face and of course is friendly, but it feels a little "you should smile more!" to comment that smiling would make OP look younger.

u/mylitteprince 6d ago

It wasn't meant that way. Looking younger isn't more desirable per se. OP asked what age people think he is, and I do think he probably looks even younger when not frowning. Make of that information what you will.

u/meronx 5d ago

I would have guessed closer to my age (I’m almost 35) but a couple years older. At most I would have said early 40s but my guess would have been more like 37-39

u/Sensitive-Net2457 6d ago

Very handsome man

u/pythonem-kochlea 5d ago

middle to late 40's, yeah 👍

u/fiebnt95 6d ago

You look 40 at max

u/Firm_Zucchini_7042 6d ago

Late 30s! Looking good!

u/FFDPMENACE 6d ago

Thanks everyone for your input, surprised me

2

u/Busy-Way-5079 5d ago

Id guess 45

2

u/Deep_Ad4899 5d ago

I would’ve guessed 42-44

2

u/JumpeterTrumpeter 5d ago

I'm a younger lurker here (early 20s) and I'd guess you're in your late 30s.

2

u/totodilejones 5d ago

my guy, you look like Alan Tudyk

(also i would’ve placed you around late 40’s, but only because you look like my buddy stu, and i only know he’s 51 because we just celebrated. you look great!)

2

u/Helpful_Examination9 5d ago

Maybe around 45

2

u/Correct_Muffin_9386 4d ago

Id guess between 40-45

2

u/and_er 4d ago

No, to the point that I have trouble believing you're 49. Late 30s maybe early 40s is what I'd guess.

2

u/sakuramota 3d ago

You do look 40s range, at the very least. I'm 40, and you've a fair more amount of wrinkles than me.

4

u/Electronic-Soft-221 6d ago

Damn dude! 40, max. You look amazing. I’m only 3 mos on T, 46, and folks consistently guess my age 10+ years younger. I’m hoping my genetics remain as strong as yours after a while on T!

2

u/firecatstef enby trans guy, 2023 💉, no 🔪, gen jones 6d ago

I’m terrible at nailing down specific ages but I’d guess 40s to early 50s based on the quality of your skin. Ignoring that you might be anywhere from mid-30s to mid-50s.

3

u/HarmFamily 5d ago

You def look younger than 49, I would have guessed closer to my age (42) if not as young as 35

2

u/CalciteQ Masculine Trans Guy | 💉6/25/24 | 38yr old 6d ago

I would say early to mid 40s

2

u/realshockvaluecola 5d ago

Definitely not. My guess would be you're somewhere around my age (37), maybe a little older.

You look 40, tops

u/Nocturnal_Elexir_Owl 4d ago

Between 35 and 65 I would guess but I am horrible at guessing the middle age ages.

u/tarek--- 4d ago

Late 30’s, maybe early 40’s

u/Necessary-Tackle-591 15h ago

I’m 43, and if I met you, I’d describe you as “a guy my age.”
