    Until very recently when I started keeping at least some facial hair and my job is giving me stress induced early grey people tended to assume I was maybe 20 at the oldest. Still happens on occasion.

    Well I'm only 20 but people think I'm late 20's for some reason and when I say I'm only 20 they think I'm lying.

    Sad Story-- someone thought my 10y/o little brother was my son. Ouch.

    In person people think I am younger generally mid 30's. In pictures its a toss up. I tend to have serious looking eyes.

    Younger. When my mother mentions she has two girls, one older and one younger (by 4 years), they always think I'm the younger one. We're at that point in time where 4 years is a big difference in appearance, too.

    I'm 27 and people always think I'm 16!!!!! I always get carded at bars and they never look like they believe me. When I was 21, I got on the train for free because they thought I was 13. Lol.

    Older, but alot of it bis because what im wearing in my pic.. thats pretty much my wardrobe.. also, i never wear makeup unless i have to go to like a wedding or a funeral.. which has been once in 10 years.. lol My BFF is totally a girly girl, and shes threatning me with a makeover when i get skinny... im scared.

    Oh and my hair.. in this pic i had just pulled it down from a pony tail. ALWAYS in a pony tail or air dryed.. then up in a pony tail. I probably havent styled my hair in 5 years.. i dont even know if i HAVE a style anymore..

    *sigh* maybe i do need that makeover.

    Im 35 BTW.

    I am 28. I constantely get told that I look much younger than my actual age. I even got carded just last year when I went to get a second hole pierced in my ears. And people also mistake my kids, as my siblings.
