Like Catalyst, I was mistaken as older until my 20's, now I'm mistaken for being younger.
I've had gray hair since 24, but it's not very noticeable to strangers.

I was always youngest and biggest in class, I was sent to school at 4. I developed early too, body and teeth. I was in braces at 9 years. I was in a ladies bra at 10.

Now that I'm in my late 30's, people think I'm in my mid 20's. :lol:

I am 17 and I've been told many times I look at least older than 20, and was once told over the phone that I sound like I'm 30.

I'm 44. People who don't know how old I am usually take me for 30 or early 30's.

Two humourous anecdotes relating to my not looking my age, both at my previous employer.

1. Once I took a special two-day training course with a bunch of co-workers. One game/exercise we did began with the trainer stating "You are the pilot of a 747." She went on to tell us about where it was flying and who else was in the cockpit and how many were in the crew and how many passengers there were and what colour the carpets were (and so on, and so on)... ending with a question "How old is the pilot?". She went around the room and everyone gave their answer verbally. When she got to me, I said "40" as I was 40 years old at the time. She looked at me askance and said "Okay, you're *way* off... how did you get 40 as your answer?". I told her that I would explain it, but only after everyone else had given their response. So once she had finished going around the room, she got back to me and said she wanted to know how I came up with "40" as my answer. "Because I'm 40 years old," I replied.

2. Once, chatting with a co-worker friend , I made a passing reference to how I didn't want children and was never going to have any. Another co-worker, a middle-aged woman who I didn't know, overheard my comment, came over, and politely interrupted us. She said that she didn't want to be rude, but she found my attitude about not wanting children to be very offensive, and said that I would change my view once I was getting close to turning 40. At which point my friend burst out laughing. The woman indignantly asked what was so funny; my friend replied "He's 41 already!". The woman visibly blushed, mumbled something, and backed off...

I think a lot of how old you look is how you choose to dress, do your hair, present yourself, body language, etc.

I think I look exactly my age. I am college age and people often ask me if I'm a student and what my major is. I dress in typical college student clothing (i.e. somewhat sloppily :lol: ) and don't bother doing anything fancy with my hair or applying makeup so I think I fit the image of college student well. When I graduate, I will have to start wearing professional clothing and making myself look professional. I expect people to start guessing that I'm a little older than college age at that point because I will be presenting myself as older than a college student.

Not neccesarilly. When I was fifteen, I was forced to hang out with this really annoying ten-year-old whom was two inches taller than me. I looked like a typical fifteen-year-old (nice hair, make-up, designer clothes) and people kept thinking the ten-year-old was older than me just because she was taller! And she didn't even have any make-up on or any nice clothes or anything really.
