Do you look older or younger than you are?

Depends on how I am feeling.
I probably look more my age when I have just woken up and have nothing covering the circles under my eyes.

I'm 20 but I guess I look like I'm 16. I had to show ID when I tried to buy a beer a few weeks ago. Some drunk on the train station mistook me for a girl once, THAT was scary. Time to cut my hair and/or grow some more beard I guess.

I'm 24 but I have been thought to be 14 years old, but also mistaken to be about 30 so I have no idea how old I look.

It may have something to do with Aspergers. Many of us have a child-like demeanor and the lack of facial expression delays creases from developing around the mouth, eyes, and forehead.

i think i definately look younger than my age, people are often telling me i do anyway!

I'm 22 but I'm told that I look about 18.

Also, one time, I had several days stubble and someone told me that I might have to start shaving soon!

I look about 15 without makeup lol

I'm 23, and I also look 23.

I look older than I am. Most people think I'm a college student. It interesting because my mother looks younger than her age, and so we're often mistaken of being cousins or not related at all.

I have always looked older than I am although as I am growing older; I am growing into my age if that makes sense i.e. I don't look that much older than I am anymore but when I was 14, people would think I was in my mid-twenties; I had a girlfriend who was 28 when I was 17 and she didn't even realise that I was that age until we had gone out several times (I had thought she was about 20-21). Nowadays, people normally guess my age from about 24-32 (depending on where I am, what I am doing and whether I have shaved etc.)

Same here; a couple of times when I have been out with her people have assumed I was her husband or something; quite embarrassing.

I apparently never look my age... with facial hair I usually get guesses in the 25-30 range(I'm 22 btw). Without facial hair I look 15 still. Being short makes it worse.

I was cast as Mowgli when my high school did the Jungle Book as the fall play, and in retrospect, I'm sure this helped clinch it... I pulled off a pretty decent 12 year old when I was 16.

i probably look younger than i really am

At a hiking club several people thought me and my mom were brother and sister, which was pretty weird.

Probably about average.

Or maybe its because we don't do non-verbal communication, and thus get less wrinkles

GUESS what happened to ME today!! !! ! Someone told me she though I was about TWENTY years younger than I am! YIKES! THREE others, one man, and 2 women, said I was 9-12 years younger! ALL were shocked that I was so old!

AMAZING!

With facial hair=Older
Without=Younger
