Do you look much younger than your age?

Post Reply New Topic

Some people think I look much older than I actually am, and others think I look quite a bit younger.

I posted a picture of myself here if you'd like to see what you think. I was 20 years-old when the picture was taken, and I look pretty much the same now at age 22.

Im 15 and well take a look at my avatar and tell me if i look 15 or not

22 and still get carded at the movies. But that's nothing: last year I went to get a haircut and they were all full, and the receptionist asked if I'd be able to contact my parents so they could come back and pick me up

I also skateboard (well, try) and sometimes old people yell at me for doing it, which makes me feel like a kid on a TV show. It's quite odd.

I am 27 years old and look extremely young. Some people think I look 16 or less. I get carded for getting rated "M" games (same as rated "R" movies) getting lottery tickets, and of course alcohol. I hardly drink though only for celebrations and New Year's. My brother is younger than me (24) and he doesn't get carded as often but he still does on occasion. In a way I hate looking so young because of being carded for everything, but when I get to be ancient I will enjoy the young looks! Maybe when I hit 80 I might look 30! I feel old at times though. My memory sucks a lot of the time. I get hot flashes a lot. I call it Old Age Syndrome. You get it when you are young but you feel old and have some symptoms of old age.

I'm 26 and look like I am just out of highschool, family trait I suppose.

A family friend is around 40 years old and was carded when he ordered a glass of wine at a restaurant last year. I know that I don't look that much younger than my actual age!

I have no idea, what's a 45 yr. old woman supposed to look like? LOL!

That depens on whether I shaved or not. Back when I was 16 I had long hair and a goatee and people assumed I was in my 20's. But now that I'm 25........well, again it all depends. Now I shave my head bald and usually have a goatee, sometimes connected to sideburns (shaved those off last week). If I shave my head and face completely? Yeah, I get mistaken for a high school kid....most of the time.

I think I do look younger than my age but not drastically so. However, it wasn't a couple months ago that a checkout lady carded me and swore I looked 18. The wildest one had to be when our former landlady thought I was my wife's son.

37. I still get carded at restaurants (although less frequently than before) and I am frequently mistaken for one of my students.

But do I *look young*? I dunno. I look like me. I figure that this is what 37 looks like. I don't really look closely at my friends faces to make comparisons. My avatar is only a few months old, so if you think it looks young, then I guess I do.

I'm 35, but I look about 18-19. Smooth fair skin is one thing but I think that my faulty motorics is the culprit.
People say I should be happy but I can't actually see why getting carded all the time should make me happy.

Yup, I'm about to be 24 and in my college class, a guy (who's 20) started talking to me and was shocked that I was older than him. I often have older people think I'm a high schooler.

It may be so. At least, i have been looking younger until now.

Last Saturday i went home to my parents, and on the train there was this 20 something girl that i talked to briefly, she went all giggly and started to smile, so i may still look younger than i am. Only sure thing i can say is that i definitely do not look halfway to 40...

Yes. People often think I'm about fourteen or fifteen. I get asked once in a while I'm not in school. My dad tells them I'm 21 and they act surprised. I think its also because of how I act too. I act more childish and immature than I should as well. That and carrying around my Axel plush and my favorite scarf doesn't help either. But however, I'm sure an NT wouldn't know these objects I carry are more than just that childish immaturity. It's more like they comfort me when I feel like screaming.

I don't know. I'm 26 and usually only ever get ID'd when I don't have any on me...which is really frustrating. Sometimes I look in the mirror and think I look about 30ish, other days I think I look quite young.
