    Do you look your age?

    I always thought I did- until we moved to Colorado. Here I've been mistaken for a high-schooler so often it's starting to get irritating. In about 10 years I don't think I'll mind getting mistaken for a younger person, but I don't appreciate how people think they can talk down to me when they assume I'm 17.

    I'm not sure if it's just because the piano studio I work at has a lot of junior teachers so they assume I'm in high school too, but I'm getting tired of being asked what grade I'm in. I just say "I'm in graduate school."

    It's really weird, actually- my husband's co-workers think he's younger, too. He's 27, and ummmm, well, his hair is thinning, among other things (I think he looks around 27- closer to 30 than 20) and they think he's 22!! Maybe people in Colorado just need their eyes adjusted.

    So, do people mistake your age?

    People always tell me I look younger than I am. I'm often guessed to be 14 or 15...not too far off from what I actually am, but far enough.

    I must admit that time has been very good to me...well my face anyway. I'm 54 and have been told by many people that I look mid to late 30's. Hey, I'll take that anyday. I attribute it to staying away from the sunshine, staying away from all makeup, and using Vit E cream on my face everyday. Well, I'd like to think that's the reason.

    What would really make my feel young is if I'm asked for ID in the liquor store.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    people always think I'm younger than I am. Usualy about 10yrs younger than for real but still get a decent number of people thinking I'm in my teens.

    I'm 58, but a lot of people mistake me for being in my late forties! I have a gray moustache and goatee, yet I still get that compliment. I love it!

    I'm 14 and a lot of people think i'm mature for my age. They mostly think i'm either 16 or 17. Which i think is weird.

    Most people say I look my age, a few have thought I'm a bit younger.

    I'm 55 and people tell me all the time that I look to be in my early 40's. I'll take it! I sure don't FEEL 55 on most days; and then there are the days I feel 85. I'm just glad to be up and around on THIS side of the earth
