Have you tried this new app from Microsoft? It tries to guess how old you are


Wrong. I'm 40. 41 in June.

The site (http://how-old.net/) claims if it didn't get it right, they are working to improve the feature.

Now I know why I get carded at the LCBO. Every damn time.

    A blog from a woman about how old she looks? I can hear every male reader running a mile from the comment box... ;)

    (For the record CJ I would have guessed 33 :) )

    I'm a confident person. If you told me I looked my age I'd be truly okay with that. I swear!

    And I agree. I look more like I'm in my early 30s and not fresh out of high school.

    I tried it and told me 31. What a boost to my ego!

    The poor algorithm doesn't stand a chance against all those women who will claim the algorithm over-estimated their age because they're only "29" (and have been for the past 10 years)

    Lucky you! It told me I was 60. And a man. I'm 41. And a woman. Sigh.
