Do you look younger than your age?

Post Reply New Topic

Yea. I usually get told I look anywhere between 15-17 years old.

I'm 30 and when I shave I look like a teenager. Which is one of the reason I don't shave very often.

People usually knock about 10 years off my age, especially if I'm clean shaven and ready to go out; but then most of the family on my mother's side look younger than their age too.

Always have. Got asked about school when I hadn't been there for years, people would assume I was several years younger.

When I answer the phone, people ask if my mum and dad are home (I'm 31) and same when I rarely answer the door.

I am 26 year and people, especially the elderly ask me what high school I go to. I said I am a graduate from college and they are like flabbergasted when I tell them. It just happen recently when I was volunteering at the Ohio Wildlife Center hospital and all I had on was my scrubs. When I was starting college a little old lady at Wendy's said I look I was in Jr. High. @_@

A while back I was taken for 34, which is not bad considering I'm 40 next birthday.

I'm 21, yet many people believe I'm 16 or 17.

WTF?

Wow, odd how everyone has this "looking younger" thing...

People usually think I'm a bit older than I am.

I'm 22, and people always have assumed I'm either older or younger than I am. Online people tend to assume I'm older until they find out I've not held a job, while in person people tend to assume that I'm about 17 or 18.

Not really sure how old I look. Heres a pic

I'm 22 and people continually tell me I look like I'm in Junior High. On the same token my mom is 60 and looks about my age lol. She doesn't have wrinkles or anything and is often mistaken as a young associate at work. It may have more to do with attire than actual physical appearance though.

I think I have look 30 since I'm 17. People always thought I was older, now that I'm close to the 30 people start asking if I'm younger. It seems that I looked the same always. Maybe is the lack of facial expression?

Yes!
Yesterday was my 44th birthday, but I was guessed as young as 29! No kidding!

I am 61 and there's no getting around the effects of age, but throughout my life I have often been confused for someone who is 10 years or more younger than my actual age. At age 40 some temporary coworkers told me they could swear that I was no older than my late 20s. I often behave younger too, reaching out and swatting at leaves on bushes and other objects that I pass as I take walks for exercise and doing other kid-like stuff. One online test I took about a year ago said that my mental age was about 40, but I don't really believe that. I take a lot of walks at a nearby college campus and while I often get cellphones flipped in my face to snub me, a surprising number of the college kids react to me more as a peer than as an ancient relic. One day a few months ago one young girl gazed at me with real adoration in her eyes and gave me an incredibly warm greeting, but I think that may have had something to do with the military flight jacket I was wearing on that cold day (she must have had a military vet in the family).

I actually have no idea what I'm supposed to look like in my age (28 ) , how would I know?
