I look WAY younger than I actually am (36). Someone called me young lady today and he was my age. I just figure that when i am 80 i will look like I am 30 <giggling>

I've always been told I look younger than I am. But then, I've always thought of most adults as older than myself, and I'm 41. :)

I definitely look younger than I am. I'm 23 years old and I get mistaken for someone between the ages of 17-20 usually which means I sometimes have to present ID before I can get into a club or bar as they think I'm too young to drink! My sister is nearly 2 years younger than me and everyone mistakes her as being the older one. I'll be thankful later on in life when I'm 40 and look about 30 whereas my sister will be 40 and look about 45 he he

Everyone I know says I look younger than 39 even with a beard.

I've seen a couple of people who I was at school with and they look a lot older that me.

Generally, people can tell how old I am. They usually guess a few years older though; I'm seventeen and people keep asking me where I go to college. Probably won't be bad for clubbing in NYC though!

When I was 17, my cousins grandmother (my aunt's side) thought I was 20. But that same year, a guy at a furniture store thought I was 14 or 15.

/me checks mirror

I'll be honest, even though I'm 19 I do look more like I'm 14 or 15 :?

I'm 50 and I look like I'm in my thirties. People never believe me when I say what my age is.
I got carded for ordering wine at a restaurant when I was 45. (Made my day, though 8) )

Peace

I'm 43; most people take me for early 30's. If I was to shave off my beard, I'd look even younger. I was even carded trying to buy a bottle of wine when I was 39 (though at the time I was wearing a hat and sunglasses, which may well have distortd my appearance)...

I look younger then my age. My friends sister thought my high school graduation portrait was a grade 8 graduation picture. Someone at work when I moved to the upstairs area jokingly asked if I was lost and said I looked 12. I could go on lol.

Nowadays, I'm very gratified to look younger, I ran into a former classmate of mine from high school (33 years ago) and he said I "hadn't changed a bit", and he was balding, with gray hair (beard and fringe) and quite paunchy in the tummy. :D Oh and he was a former bully of mine.
Living well IS the best revenge.

Peace

when i was 11-13 I got misteken for 18ish, and now (20) i get early teens. This is probably because I have very short hair, and it makes me look younger.

I was always mistaken for younger til my hair turned white-about 5years ago-now everyone adds 5 years to my age.
I wonder if all the other guys my age dye it now.

I probably look like a teenager for a 22-year-old when my beard's off (which it is).
