    I'm 25 and I feel like I look like I'm 35 and I get told all the time I look older than I am. Most people think I look late-20s. It's depressing....and my mom isn't aging well. *sigh*

    I've been told "you don't look 40, maybe 28 or 30."
    Thoughts???

    :wink:

    Usually younger than 53 but it sucks when people think I am my actual age. When I lose weight, I hope to really look young. I am seeing a man 11 years younger!:smile:

    When I was in my teens, most people thought I was in my twenties... now, most peg me for being five to seven years younger than I am (even at my heaviest...)

    I forgot to mention that when my co-worker found out I wasn't his kids age 26, he started calling me cougar. Even has a mountain lion calander in his office as a joke. Cougar sounds a lot like my name Cooper so peole din;t notice at first so now it's a big office joke. :) I don't mind. Always have people ask me to pull out my ID and prove it or ask when I graduated from high shcool 90 College 94....you do the math. My 40's are turning out nicely. Mom looked in her 30's close to her 60th

    Younger...I'm 39 and ppl think I'm early or mid-30s but a few times I've gotten older, too, usually from the younger kids (5yr olds) on my bus lol

    Younger - I'm early 40's and when I tell people I'm married 20+ years I get the funniest looks! You can see them doing the math. At first they don't believe me, then assume I got married at like 12 or something. LOL
    I get taken for early to mid 30's all the time. At age 20 I had to show my driver's license to use my OWN credit card because the clerks would say "you can't use your mother's Visa".

    I have to admit, it is a little ego boost and it's kinda fun! I'll be crushed the day someone is surprised the OTHER way!

    I'm 18, and people online said that I looked like I was in my early 20's (not that much of a difference, lol.) And then there was this one person who said I looked like I was under 17 and told me to get off the app I was using. But I think he was just trying to be rude.

    Offline, I have no idea. I kind of have insecurities that people think I look like a kid.

    Younger definitely.

    I'm 37 and people have pegged me for between 25-27. I had to show my drivers license to a guy I worked with once because he didn't believe me when I told him my age.

    I get carded all the time. When we were in Key West last year I got carded over a dozen times. I get carded at the package store a lot too.

    A few years ago I was buying a video game for my husband for Christmas and it was a "mature" video and I got carded for that! I laughed when I handed the girl my ID and saw the look on her face.

    I think it's pretty obvious that I'm in my mid-20s. I tend to still get IDed for alcohol at 24, but I think I would be offended if I didn't.

    Always younger, like 5-6 years younger. Right now it bugs me when I'm carded for EVERYthing but my mother reminds me that in 15 years I'll appreciate it. :laugh:

    I was recently told I looked seventeen at a local shop and the owner was amazed to find out I'm actually twenty-three. He looked at my mom, who he thought was in her late forties, with his jaw hanging down because she told him how old she is. She's about to turn sixty-two this September. Guess it runs in the family. Lol.

    I am 58 years old; most people think I look younger; especially those at the gym. I think I look older because I am totally gray; although I feel much younger in spirit!
