Society & Culture Do you look younger or older than your actual age?

[Black Diamond]

A lot of people think I'm older. I'm 22 but get mistaken for 25+.

Back when I was sixteen I was mistaken for 26 by my hairdresser. She was 'curious' and if I had my time again I'd have played it a little differently.

 

[Hatchy1992]

Am 19 going on 20 this year. Constantly get asked for ID at the liquor stores I frequent at. Friends say I look 16-17.

 

[Dan3490]

Just turned 22, been told I look about 18.

 

[Caesar]

Most people I meet think that I'm a couple of years older.

Most people on BigFooty think that I'm a couple of decades older.

 

[Cruyff14]

How old are you Caesar if you don't mind me asking? Get the impression you're between 28-35.

 

[Caesar]

That's not too bad. I'm 27.

 

[Cruyff14]

Younger than I thought

If I had to pick an exacty number I would have leant towards the 35 side

 

[THRILLHO]

He's only old at heart.

I would have added 10 years to that. I thought he was a midle aged man who was a dad .

Has been assumed that im under age for many years now. I'm 30 and i still look younger than 18. Even though i know the rules and regulations (you basically have to be asked for ID no matter how old you look) - i still get asked for ID when buying alcohol (which is rare in itself), buying R18+ movies and even get asked if i am paying adult or child's prices when going to the cinema (also a rare occasion).

The oldest i have been told that i look is 22.

I would have picked early 30s. Nothing to indicate that he has children but he seems to be established at his career.

Depends on whether I'm recently shaved or not.

Clean shave = look about 15
Haven't shaved = look about 18
Actuall age = 17

 

[Tiff]

Depends on the state of my facial hair really.

Some girls I meet think I'm like 21 when I've only got like, designer stubble going.

But if I've been lazy and grow my beard some people take me for 30, I'm 25.

Funny actually, an old bloke at work came up and asked my age the other day, and said that I only look 18-20. He also said that I'm lucky because some people my age look really old, and it's probably because I don't drink heavily, or have never taken drugs.

Funny because it oculdn't be further from the truth.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

when i was younger i would always get 25-26 while i was in my teens. now its about right though when i grow my beard ive been given a 40 year old with possibly 2 kids.....

then again, when i started my new job last year, someone thought i turned 38 on my bday.

[Gough]

I'm 39 and look like Jimmy Sommerville.

 

[rocker_oz33]

I have the whole Michael j fox thing going on always have looked younger than my normal age.But my younger age is catching up with my real age.

 

[HBK619]

Get asked for ID a lot, am 23, generally clean shaved. Probably could pass for 16 if I tried.

 

[WCErevival]

I am 27 almost 28 and look younger. I've always looked younger. I got asked for ID a couple of months ago. Just lately though I think my looks are catching up a bit.

 

[GeeUUess]

I'm 20, but have often been mistaken for being older than my 24 year old brother. I don't think I look that much over 20 though.

pics or gtfo

 

[Big_D231]

Generally get told i look 22-23ish. Most recent and highest estimation was 25-26 when i was out with a workmate. People seemed to think i was 25 and she was 19. In actual fact im 19 and shes 24

 

[policegetthatman]

I look about 15. A bit of stubble adds a few years. Which is the same for most people.

 

[ep2018]

Look ten years younger without my beard.

 

[Danog]

Younger, easily.

 

[WowsersTrousers]
