How do you tell someone's real age?

[blu3wave]

This bloke at work, likes to boast about his good looks and how no one can tell his age coz he doesn't look it at all. He lets us all guess during lunch break but so far, no one's been right. My guess is between 35 and 40 .... so, about 37.... but when I told him he laughed it off and said I was wrong like everyone else.
Is there a way I can find out his real age, just by looking at him, ie- countin his wrinkles, checking his head for bald spots, double chins etc etc?
He has fairly poor taste in music and tv shows (well, i think so) and says he still listens to the radio sometimes, so my guess is he's much older than me but I don't know the exact no. ....
Can you help?

You chop a limb off, usually a leg or an arm and count the rings on it- each ring denotes one year.

See? It's easy when you know how!

What about sniffing the person? An old person would usually have an old man/woman's smell about them wouldnt they? or what about checking their hair, like pulling at it to see if it comes off easily? (old ppl lose a lot of hair, easily too).....
Or maybe measuring their nose with a ruler? (old ppl tend to have longer noses, as they never stop growing)....what do you think? I wish the bloke would just say the number already, instead of me having to try all the above....

Boo thats what you do with a tree rolls eyes
blu3wave offer him a toffee if he has false teeth he will say no

Well you could also check to see if they have hair growing out of their nose or ears- or better yet...both!

Also if they're prone to padding round M&S lovingly fondling the slippers, that's usually a give away too.

Have you not thought that dating an OAP might be a good option for you? Get him insured, then shout sudenly into his pacemaker, then voila!!! you're single again but this time.....Richer!

babybow- tree, limbs...both round, same difference.....surely?

This sneaky method worked for me a couple of times. During a conversation with him and others bring up the subject of driving. Ask everyone how long they have been driving. Wait for a month or so; bring up another driving conversation. Ask people how old they were when they first started driving. You have your answer using simple math. BUT, you've got to be really SMOOTH how you do it!!

you know blu3 I think you have a pensioner fetish, get to that old persons home and start bouncing on one of them old geezers, you know you want too

show him the 'what was at Number 1 the year you were born website'

ask him 'Do you remember what you were doing when you heard William the Conqueror had invaded?'

PS if he was my age, he wouldn't listen to the radio he'd listen to the wireless. If he was my gran's age he'd listen to the crystal set. So you're definitely pinning him down

Start going out with him, pretend to fall in love, get engaged, get married and when you are checking in for your flight to your honeymoon destination look at his passport

[unrulyjulie]

Thats slightly extreme Rev,lol
Who says this fella is gonna tell the truth when you do guess it correctly? I would put money on the fact that he is gonna admit nothing! He's probably about 7 years younger than he looks and thats why he isnt telling!

[4getmenot]

And does it really matter??

[Aprilis]

I look younger than I am and nobody ever guesses my age correctly but I don't make an issue of it or go around asking people to guess my age. Once in a blue moon someone will ask how old I am and I might ask them how old they think I am.

This guy sounds extremely vain and I wouldn't be bothered to give him the attention he is seeking. I doubt he will ever own up to his age or he'll stop getting all that attention.

[Aprilis]

B00, your answers cracked me up!

[Reverandfunk]

I dont look my age, but I would take it as far as creating a game show scenario for everyone to guess what it is.

He's probably a billy no mates or a lady boy

[donegal]

take his wallet off him to see if he's got a ID or brake into his house a get his passport
