Do you look your age or do you appear younger or older? Are you happy with this perception? I think I look younger than I really am.

I look like I could be in my 30s although I'm only 26. It doesn't really matter to me.

People usually think I'm younger than I am; I get a lot of "what grade are you in?" when they should be asking "what year are you?".
I hate it. I'd rather look older (though not too much).

I just turned 22 3 days ago but when I tell people at work how old I am they can't believe I'm that old. They think I'm a high school student like the rest of the part time workers.

Hn. I get a lot of "how old are you" and "Oh, I thought you were *age which is two or three years older than I am*."
I just hope I look younger than I am when I'm older. Looking like a ninety year old when I'm fifty will nooooot be fun. ![[Embarrassed]](redface.gif)

When I arrived at college at the youthful age of 18 (I have a late birthday, so I hadn't even been 18 an entire month), all my soon to be friends naturally assumed that I was in my thirties, or at the least, mid to late twenties. Some thought I was a grad student still in the dorms. Others thought I was coming back to school to finally get my degree. A couple thought I was SOMEBODY'S PARENT but revised that when I was still around for orientation.
Fuckers.
Let me state that again: they thought I was TEN YEARS OR MORE on top of my actual age.
Later, I would be a TA and ask my students how old they thought I was. The lowest estimate, by some girl wanting to be nice, was 27. This was when I was 22 or 23. Many of the estimates were, again, an ENTIRE DECADE OR MORE off.
Oh sure assholes. I'm in my thirties teaching you fuckwits electrical engineering and I can't afford a fucking car. Maybe you should switch majors now, right?
MotherFucker.
Anyways, after I shaved my head entirely (I was going bald at around 16, one of the main reasons I looked so much older) the estimates went down- someone actually guessed my age correctly, though the mean was still late 20s.
Now I'm 25, and I'm pretty sure I look early thirties.

I've had people think that I was a college student because I used capitals to start my sentences and avoided shorthand words and phrases.
Other than that, people just ask my age and go, "Oh, alright." I'm not too hard to guess. I also feel like typing up a stupid story soon.

The only time I can remember being shocked at my elderliness was this time I was buying some pants at Sears and the cashier thought I was in my mid-30s. I was a fuckin' teenager! I know I'm big and dress conservatively, but I ain't old. Well, not that old, but she was grossly over the average guess for my age. And then I was sad. Like ol' man crotchetyfalcon up there. Which is ironic 'cause I'm older than him. Not much older, but still... I guess being struck down in your prime with baldness will make you act up... No offense, but you gotta stop being so self-conscious about your age, dude. Just be glad you ain't a woman losin' your hair at an early age. 'Cause I've got a female coworker like that and, whoa! Not a pretty sight.

This seems a fine time to introduce myself. The "Others" applies to me. And sorry, chief, try 35. After we met cfalcon, my roommate and I had a nice conversation about why people coming back to college after so long would want to stay in the dorms, decided that point was meaningless, and then discussed whether they should be allowed to stay in the dorms.
Anyways, I have no interest in pokemon, but I keep pestering little cfalcon to email me because I'm bored at work, and he spends all his time here. So, I figured this forum doesn't have much to do with pokemon... besides, all my other forum visits are car guys.
I don't know how I look, but when people first get to know me they tend to think I a couple of years older. Especially when I was in high school and played Magic at dork shops.

Hey, babe. I never in a million years expected you to show up here, but welcome.
I always thought you looked younger than you are. Maybe my brain was actually just mixing up the fact that you're the youngest of our group of friends. I don't know. I think you've got a bit of a baby face, so its a good thing you wear glasses, because they help you look older.
People used to always think I was younger than I am. That was 5 or 6 years ago. I don't know what they think now. They probably just assume I'm younger, not because of how I look, but because of who I hang out with and what I'm doing with my life. Like, I'll be 25 here soon, but I've been hanging out with a bunch of 22-year-olds (friends of the new boyfriend) and taking classes with a bunch of 21-year-olds.

I probably do look younger for having that extra chub, I wouldn't rightly know. I just tend to get on well with people a little older than me, so they assume I'm older and look young.

Yea, he actually does look a little younger than he is, but only by a year or two.

See, people tell me things like that from time to time. It's bullshit, because it wasn't like I decided that I look old one day, or got sensitive about the fact that I was going bald, and then worried about it. No, that's not at all how I think. Instead, I would stumble through the world, curious as to why I got strange responses, until I asked around. I've never disliked my appearance, but I've never been overly pleased with the way others respond to it, either.
Well, except for the recent time when I scared that little old woman. But she was a bitch. But that's a story for another day.

When I was little I looked quite a bit younger than I was. Around puberty my apparent age shot up about 6 or 7 years. Now I look about 4 years older than I am, but since I usually hang out with folks that are about 3 years older than me it's not a problem at all. This past weekend I hung out with new people at a vaction place and at the end of the weekend they were shocked to hear I was (just turned) 22. They were all 28, and one of the girls thought I was older than her. Luckily I usually attract chicks that are my age, when they think I'm a bit older.
I'm fine with it all. I attribute inaccuracies to these lines in my forehead. I got 'em from my mom. (and also to my perceived maturity, which I assume doesn't come across on computer screens)

I don't know about you, but I'd take advantage of being old. Like... umm... kicking kids' asses with a cane or something. Yeah... You know, life gives you lemons, make lemonade and piss in it or something. Losing your hair ain't the end of the world. Shaving your head was a smart improvement. Tell people you have cancer or something to win sympathy. You can do cool stuff like painting your head for sports events. Or shine it up and blind people with the glare.
Oh, and do tell this story about the bitchy old woman. It would make this thread most entertaining.
