When Emily Jane asked strangers online to guess her age, she expected a few different answers. Instead, the guesses ranged from the 20s all the way to the 60s. Some commenters estimated she was in her 40s or 50s, while one person guessed she was 58. Emily admitted that the responses were “wild” and couldn’t believe how old some people thought she looked.

In a follow-up video, Emily revealed the truth: she had just turned 36. She explained that she had naturally gray hair and had started going gray when she was only 19. She also appeared without makeup or filters, which she believed may have influenced people’s guesses. Emily said she had never had cosmetic work done and that what viewers saw was simply her natural face.

Emily then questioned whether social media has changed the way people perceive age. With filters, makeup, cosmetic procedures, and heavily edited photos becoming common online, she wondered whether people have become accustomed to seeing women who don’t necessarily look their natural age. Some commenters agreed, while others said her gray hair was mainly responsible for making her appear older.

Still, many people defended her choice to embrace her natural appearance, with one commenter saying her “skin looks great.” Emily seemed comfortable with herself regardless of the guesses, but her experience raises an interesting question: Have social media and filters changed our idea of what someone in their 30s is supposed to look like?
