Do you look older or younger than your age?

Post Reply New Topic

I've always looked much younger than I am (I'll be eighteen this month). Most of the time, people seem to think I'm in the 12-14 bracket. And last year, someone thought I was my nine-year-old cousin's twin! And she looks younger than she is, too! I guess this is the price of being small and thin. So do you look older or younger than your age?

Younger. I still look like I'm in highschool. I'm actually 21.

WAY older, on account of both my advanced intellectual ability and hieght.

people think I'm 21, I'm 19.

people think my sister is a high school graduate....she's only a freshman. sheesh.

I'd say I probably look alittle older than 15.

I looked older when I was younger, now that I'm older, I look younger. I'm 34 and I regularly get carded buying tobacco or alcohol.

I think I look 15, when I'm 16. You be the judge:

I've almost always looked at least a few years younger than I am.

Yes I look younger then my actual age!!

When I was born I was born very skinny and very small. Looking at my childhood photos I now understand why my mom was afraid CPS would take me away!! I looked like a prayingmantes!! My mom used to take me to all sorts of docters thinking that I might have a form of drawfism. Found out my body is about 5-6 years behind my actual age. I'm 18 now but I physicaly have the body of a 12-13 year old. Sometimes people would say I look 9-ish to 14-ish. But besides given the kids menu at every resturant I have ever been to. I'm In tip top shape!!

Tis 2 pic's of me being silly!!

Younger - I always get ID'd when I go to the clubs or the liquour store.

i am 38 but everybody tells me I look about 25 (actually someone said 23 the other day!)
I also think I act a lot younger.

I'm 47 but have been mistaken for about 30 before.Sometimes I feel like I'm only 13 !

MAN, you guys are LUCKY!

I still remember someone saying they weren't as old as I was, that they were only 40! I was 28 at the time.

I used to have a lot of THICK hair. NOW, I have less, and it is thinner.

My vision doesn't count, because I wasn't wearing glasses back then. Any bone changes weren't apparant then either. My skin has generally been FINE. At the time, I seemed pretty normal.

I DID once know a girl that was in her twenties, and NOBODY thought she could be over 14! She even laughed like she was fourteen, and swung her legs like she was younger. Maybe she was HFA! I wonder what she looks like now!

I just got to thinking. I think there WAS a time in my teens where people thought I looked younger. My height, and other physical characteristics , have always been on a par with others my age.

I am now 22, but I do look a few years younger than that.

Last year when my family and I were on holiday, my Mum got talking to a woman while we were on a long walk, and the woman said something like, "Is your daughter at school?" (as in high school). My Mum had to explain that I was really 21 and had just graduated from university a couple of months earlier.

Then a few days later, we went to an aquarium, and the girl on the ticket desk asked us, "Is that 2 adults and 1 child?" That was really freaky, as the child prices end at age 16.

I feel that I look my age, but often people are shocked that I have five kids, telling me that I look too young to have so many. But having 5 kids is pretty shocking these days, probably that is the main cause of their reaction .

People were generally confused by me, i looked really young (short and skinny) but i sounded really old.
It wasn't so bad after puberty, being as i'm still short, but most people tend to be about right.
