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

For some reason I'm both, and when people guess it varies pretty wildly. Not sure why exactly since I think I look younger. I can't grow facial hair to any reasonable standard and I'm thin as a stick, I guess it must be the height factor maybe.

A fair amount of people have thought I'm in my low-mid 20's, and it's not that unusual for me to not get ID'ed when my friends are. More people probably think I'm younger then I am though, with a lot of them thinking I'm still in high school. A guy a few weeks ago thought I was 14 :eek:

I'm 20.

Both. Just hit 40, somethimes get people thinking I'm just a bald late-20s, others seem to think mid-50s.
But that holds some truth. My brain is 14, my heart is well into its 60s, and my lungs have been in their 80s since I was in primary school.
 
Currently 22. Alway been asked for ID. Always. I've been told as young as 16. Love giving the bouncers a little bit of cheek when they can't do anything about the fact I have a real ID and look like I'm not even in senior high school.
 
I'm 44 but people generally guess my age at 35, sometimes early 30's.

Most people can't believe I have a near 15 year old child.

Just lucky with the genes i think because I can't say I've lived the quiet life that's for sure.

It's like we're the same.
We should hang out, pull in some of those late 20s, early 30s chicks 'cos we'd know what they'd like, lol
 
On average probably about right. When i tell people, they'll usually say they thought i was younger, yet i've never been asked for ID at a pub/club or anything. Even when i had just turned 18. As a matter of fact the only time i've ever been asked was at Sanity when buying Freddy Got Fingered out of the $5 bin.
 
I live in a spanish speaking country where the word 'joven' is for teenagers or at most uni students who are early 20's. It would be something like youngster in english.

Anyway I'm 29 and I still get called 'joven' everytime I go into a shop or wherever it makes me rage. I drink a lot of alcohol which is supposed to make you look older but I still look about 20.
