Do you look your age?

[Pembroke_Corgi]

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 think my husband & I are younger than we are. I used to mind when I was alot younger, but now I don't mind at all!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

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've always had that dillema. I was carded up until I was about 31. I don't get carded any more though.

[tikeyas_mom]

Well what a question to ask a woman embarking on entering the big 50 next year, when i was younger i was always mistaken for being a few years younger than i was, when i was 19 people thought i was about 16, which i hated, and for some years even into my fourties i guess i was assumed to be younger, but now i reckon i look my age,some people i went to school with have aged much worse than me, and some i think look better, it all depends on your genetics,your lifestyle, i don't smoke and i keep out of the sun, but i hate to think if i did both, i would be a wrinkled old prune by now lol, oh to turn back the clock,never mind just glad to be reaching that age .

Some people tend to think I look younger, but act older. haha. I've had people look at my picture and say, "are you fourteen?" but I've also talked to people who ask my age and say, "you're only sixteen??"

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.

Nope. people say I look like I am 17 and I am 21.

[Argranade]

I'm 16 but if I put my hair in 2 braides I can look like I'm 12 or somthen lol,

I was not realy hungrey and wanted a kids meal but it said ages 10 and up ... I passed and got my chicken Mc nuggets , the average age people say I look is 13 .. so I geuss it's a good thing :/, alot of times when I say I'm 16 some kids start laughing as saying ''ya right lol'' ...

[critter crazy]

people often say i loo much younger. i had a guy ask me once if i was 18, i was 28!!!

[catnapper]

I think I look my age, which is why I love making people fall over when I tell them I'm a grandmother! LOL

[Miss Z]

I'm often mistaken for about 18! I've been asked what I want to drink if I go up to a bar with my mum or dad, or sometimes when I'm just walking past it many a time

I was ID'd to buy firecrackers over the summer (you have to be 16), and I just turned 25 this month. While I do have a baby-face, I think it is more my tendency to wear very casual clothes (just jeans and T's here unless you hold a gun to my head) and no make-up that make people assume I am not a 20-something. My favorite incident was when I was teaching sunday school (at 24) and had to run out to my car to grab a visual aid, and a man stopped me at the door to ask if my mother knew where I was going. I assume he thought I was a teenager sneaking out of church .

I felt better, tho, when my fiancee (who is 31) was ID'd for an r-rated movie )you have to be 18). He is very baby-faced, too. It runs in both of our families.

LOL! I turned forty in September. I think I do, but I'm told I don't. I certainly feel it!
