My stock answer was "You/it look(s) like sh*t". She asked me a lot less after that. Maybe adding 20 years on to how old you think they are would have a similar effect.

If it is your woman, the answer is always that she only looks more beautful as she ages. Hands can be a giveaway. If she is a sun worshiper, add 5-10 yrs. Some women just wear out fast, though.
