Always get told I look older than I am, although I'm guessing it's just facial maturity...
Starting grade nine, teachers thought I was a 19 YO transfer from another school :P (the beard didn't help). More recently, I've been told I could pass for 24-26 easily; I use this knowledge a lot at bars :P0 -
No offense against all the "young looking" people here, but reading how EVERYONE gets guessed younger makes me realize people just don't have a clue about age. I know I am not a good age guesser. At all.0

I think these days people would guess me about right. When I was in my mid 20s I was forever being asked what school I was at, and idea buying alcohol (in the UK, so people thought I was under 18). At 25, a 15 year old thought I was the same age as them.
I think I aged 10 years during my first pregnancy.0 -
I went to the bar this past Friday and I was naturally carded at the door. I gave him by ID and of course the lighting was dim. So he shined a flashlight on the picture, looked up at me and back at the ID. He raised his eye brows and a hmmm sound and handed me my ID back. I was 45 pounds heavier on my driver's license than I am now. Although he didn't say anything, it was implied. (or am I just reading more into it? lol) I guess that means I dont look my age! I hope to pass for 30 all the way until I'm 40.0

I always get carded and people always think that my younger sis by 2 years is my older sister, I tell her its not fair but hopefully when we get older I will still be told I look like the younger sister, I dont think I would mind so much then. haha. :laugh: oh and people sometimes mistake me for like an 18 year old. (im 25)0

People often tell me I look younger than my age, but I once played "fool the guesser" at an amusement park and he guessed me right on. I probably look my age, technically, but I think a lot of people think 42 is old and decrepit. :P
that is so funny! I played the fool guesser at the amusement park too. but I wanted him to guess my weight. when I was heavier, they always guessed wrong and I would always win. Now that I'm lighter, he guessed right on the nose! I saw what he was writing on his little slate and before I got on the scale, I thought, oh boy, I lost!0 -
I always had a baby face and looked 12 when I was 16, hated it till I got "older". I once got carded buying booze WITH my daughter who was 22 at the time, she laughed and laughed!! People still say I look younger than I am... I think I look my age, people are just always surprised I have 5 grandkids.0

Oh and one time I went to a lounge with my sis and some friends. My sister was under 21 at the time and they didn't card her and gave her wrist band (so she can buy drinks) but the guy at the door carded me and still gave me a stamp on my hand (saying im under 21 and not able to drink) jerk! haha.0

I am 30 and was told the other day I look 22. Guess that will really be working for me as I get older :-)0
-
some people tell me I look 24-22..the other day I got a 19 !!! lol
My fiance picks on me about it ..for I am 32 tommorrow , He is 42 .
I constantly tell him that he better watch out he may get in trouble for messing around with young girls like me..hahaha0 -
Usually if you're Asian, people will guess you're much younger than you really are. Doesn't help that we're all pretty short in stature too.0
-
everyone says i look over 10 years younger I can pass for 35 or younger and i'm 44. Natural healthcare works best for me. You look good too.0
-
Younger I'm happy to say!0
-
I am always mistaken for younger, and when telemarketers call my house they always ask if they can speak to my parents.0
-
Younger. I think it has to do with the freckles...0
-
I've always gotten that I look younger. I'm 27 and people usually guess between 18 and 21. We have good genes in my family. My parents don't look old enough to be my parents and my grandparents don't look as old as they are.0

LOL I get that too. People think I am in my mid 20's when I am almost 40!! I even got ID'd when I bought some alcohol, I had my hair up and the legal age here is 19. I know I don't look that young but hey nice compliment.0 -
Usually younger. I still get carded sometimes and they are like " you are 40"???? Sorta feels good! Winning I suppose.0
-
I get mistaken for younger depending on what i am wearing and who i am with.0
-
I almost always get mistaken for younger than I am. And now since I have been losing weight it happens even more. I have been carded for alcohol and cigarettes recently, I'm 29.0
