I can't. I can tell if the adult is young, old, or really old, but not how old they are.

I used to be horrible at this, but now I think I am good at guessing the ages of adults.

I can't tell anyone's age beyond:

Baby
Toddler
Infant
Junior
Teenager
Probably young adult
Probably late youth adult
Probably middle aged
Probably old
Really old

FTR I look like teenage/young adult and I'm late youth.

I wonder if it has something to do with what you see in the mirror.

This woman was spinning a line about how she can read everyone's mind :roll: So I got her to guess my age. I was 18 and she guessed wrong by 6 years downwards... I said no you can't read minds, you're just good at guessing obvious stuff... :roll:

No clue ever. I think most 20 year old women wear so many cosmetics, they look much older than they are.

Most older adults look and act younger than they are.

That's pretty much the same as me. I have a rough idea of peoples ages, but I can't tell their exact ages.

I typically haven’t the faintest idea.

And I’m 27 and still get regularly asked what grade I’m in.

Unless your picture is old, you probably do still get asked what you're doing for your 50th though!

Not everyone looks sounds or acts their age

When I was 37, a customer at work told me "do good in school"
