Do you get mistaken for looking older or younger than you re

julieannebyrom

I get told I look younger, I'm 30 and I have been told a few times I look early to mid twenties. That was before I lost weight though, when I had a pudgy wee baby face!

I don't often announce my age, but word got around that I was hitting 50 in July, and I had lots of people who were really surprised, thinking I was in my late 30s or early 40s. I'm hoping that as the weight comes off, I'll start feeling as young as people think I look. It would be great to have someone think I am my daughter's sister...

When I was 11, I looked 16. At sixteen, I looked 18. At 21, I looked 16.

I have continued to look younger than my age, but now that I have a child people have started guessing a little bit older. I think they are trying to figure in social things rather than just look at me, though. Anyway, once I lose the weight I want to, I fully expect to look 25 again.

I'm actually 30.

I've never gotten carded and it's really disappointing. I was super excited to buy my first lottery ticket on my 18th birthday and go to the liquor store on my 21st and get carded but it never happened.

Ever since I was 12 people have told me I look older....I remember when I went on vacation once with my mom and cousin when I was 12 I had like 18 year old boys trying to flirt with me & my mom was having a heart attack....But now I think make up has a lot to do with it!

younger erryone always thinks my daughters are my sisters

Still get carded & I'm 34. Quite annoying actually! On my 18th birthday, I was told that I couldn't be any older than 14. On my 21st, it was 15 or 16. On my 31st, it was 19 or 20. If I let my grey hair grow out then not so much (started going grey at 14!), keep it colored I have to keep my I.D. ready!

I always get that I am older, but being 21 it is more how I carry myself I think, I have always acted mature. The funny thing is I constantly get mistaken for working in various stores. It seriously happens all the time. I don't know what it is.


When i was 14 I babysat 2 kids and took them to the park, moms would not let their kids play with us because they though I was a teen mom. Really?

I actually get mistaken for being both older and younger at times, but it depends on what I'm wearing. If I'm dressed up in my work clothes or in a cocktail dress I always get mistaken for late 20s, like 28 or 29. If I'm just wearing normal clothes I often get mistaken for being like 18. I don't really mind either way though. I think I look my age, but then again I'm a horrible judge at age.

julietsingleton

I am 35, nearly 36 and as i had my daughter when i was 18, i often get told i dont look old enough to have a 17 year old, and when i tell people my age i usually get nice remarks saying i dont look my age, even though i often feel it :yawn:

futurefitgirl88

Haha people always think I'm a teen!!! I'm twenty freakin' three!

frostiegurl

As an adult, I've always been mistaken for being younger. It works in my favor, especially since I'm a 40 year old undergrad. Most people in my classes think I'm in my 20s. I'll take it.

big_beautiful

now i get mistaken for being 16

but when i was younger they thought i was older

cowpoke06

i am a college student and i still get carded to see rated R movies!!

I went to the movies once at age 24...and they would NOT let me in to the movie because I didn't have my license...I didn't think I needed it. We had to go home

FindingFit50s

clean shaven .. people guess I am younger

scruffy .. people guess I am younger, but not by as much.

So, I'm guessing you're the one on the right. :happy:

Ooohhhh…. I sure hope so!!! LOLZ!!

I am very fortunate that we have young looking genes in our family and my mother who is 80 would pass for 60. Everytime I go to the Dentist and need an X-ray he always says "Are you pregnant?" !! so, I guess I do look quite a lot younger than my 55 years!

I always get guessed younger. Ever since I was 12...when someone thought I was 7. Most people think I am around 25ish. I get carded every durn time I buy a drink at a restaurant and I've been old enough to drink for 11 years now.

There was only 1 time that I can remember someone guessing older...I was 30 and she said "34" and I wanted to smack her. LOL!

The last time someone guessed, they said 27. IDK, even when I am not exercising and eating great, I still seem to be 5 years younger.

Funny thing is, I see other 32 year olds and I think "wow, they all look old. I don't like that, do I?" And I say that about my own personal friends too. I'm not trying to be mean, though. I've just always looked younger.

I am almost 20 and get told that I look like I am anywhere between 12 - 16 so that makes me feel real good.

When I was 12 I passed for 19. When I was in my early twenties I looked my age. Now most people think I'm at least 10-15 years younger than I am. Curious as to what it will be like as I get thinner. I do know I look younger now than I did 50lbs ago. Right now I look the same as I did in photos that are 17 years old.

My husband only gets carded if I am with him. I guess I make him look younger! :bigsmile:

mousumi30

younger and i think its because of the baby fat i carry around my chicks at 30, so irritating!!!

Bronx_Montgomery

When I was younger people always thought I was a lot older. Now that im older (30 in a week) people think im younger. I have shed 45 lbs so far and in far better shape then I was in my younger years but I didn't think it would make that much of a difference until lately. Everytime I get a drink I always get carded. I never use to get carded.

younger erryone always thinks my daughters are my sisters

LOL...I'm with you on this one. My daughter and I have gotten this a lot, especially lately. When anyone asks about the picture of me she has in her dorm room, she tells them that I'm her sisterly mother...:laugh:

What always made me laugh is that I taught at the same high school my girls attended, so everyone knew them and knew their age. Some of the students still asked if I was 24. Hmmmmm...let'd to the math there. My girls are 17; I would have had to have had them at 7...nope, don't think so.

One more thing...I'm really worried that when I finally get rid of all this weight that I will look like I'm 10. It's not gonna stop me, but it's a definite fear.:grumble:

dmpizza

I get that. In my late 40s, I notice that at that age people either look good or look really old.

angelicdisgrace

When I weighed 254 I didn't get any comments of looking younger. I received comments of looking older. Now I get carded all the time which feels good but sucks cause I never take my license with me any where lol.

I was chatting with a woman at my daughter's riding lesson the other day. My daughter is 5. The woman asked if I had other kids, and I responded that I also have a 15 year old son. She about fell out of her chair, and said she thought I was 25. More than a decade removed from 25, I was thrilled.

I generally refuse to admit that I have been any age beyond 29. Even my daughter thinks I'm 29 (over and over). I refused to hit 30, and just stuck with 29. It works, though is starting to get a bit ridiculous, now that I have a teenager, and have been married for 17 years.

I've been buying alcohol and cigarettes, legally, from the same supermarket for ten years and I still occasionally get asked for ID. They're supposed to ask anyone who looks under 25, but I'm 29. I love it when it happens, unless I've forgotten to bring my ID with me!

It's probably because I still dress like a student.

GTOgirl1969

I get carded every time I buy alcohol....so I guess I look under 21. I sure as hell don't feel it, though.

prettytoxic

Someone thought I was 16 =[ I'm 20!!
And surely my massive tattoos should have been a gice away that I'm at least 18!!

Oh and one of my boyfriend's mates thought I was 24 O________O
