Those ads that show "older women" - they don't look older to me. There used to be a little app on Microsoft that guessed your age from a picture. It is called a face age detector. I tried out a few faces from the internet and it seems a bit silly. Everyone is assessed at under 80 - even the ones who look 100 with lots of wrinkles. It seems to under assess age. I guess it is a bit concerned over feelings.
You can look at 16,066 very old people on Dreamtime or Shutterstock. There are 3,636 crying old ladies on Shutterstock. What about senior citizens driving - there are 726 pictures on Shutterstock. Or old ladies in swimsuits? That one falls apart - the headliner image appears to be a woman aged about 30.
Quora has lots to say about figuring out age. here's the top post about how to predict someone's age by looking at them:
"People in their 60's have wrinkles around their mouths, and loosening of the skin of their necks. People in their 50's tend to have "crow's feet" wrinkles around the corners of their eyes. People in their 40's show a hint of those crow's feet. People in their 30's look fully adult, without the wrinkles but faces that are no longer child-like. People in their 20's look like adults but retain their youthful, teenlike appearance."
Did you notice something People don't seem to get over 60? And that makes sense from what is shown on the internet. Here's the woman on the ad for pilates for older woman. What age is she assessed at? 42. How older is older?
This fun picture seemed to call out for some analysis so I put him through the age machine and it says he is 40 years old. A bit of Dorian Gray.
