    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.

    Hehe, I've got one like this - someone thought my 45 year old fella was my son, and I'm only 41. Must've had a very tough paper round...:wink:

    Younger- got 32 one time but I am 40. I always feel and act like I'm younger than my real age. Ironically when I was 16 people thought I was in my 20's. That worked well for me then too. :)

    I will be 55 next month, but everyone guesses lower. Which I am very happy to say.

    I'm forty and people think I'm in my 20's. My boyfriend's mother thought I was 26 when she met me! :)

    I'm 45. When folks meet me in person, especially when I'm sporting the "natural look", they assume me to be much younger ... mid-30's most of the time. It is fun to see their reaction, and not bad for the ego! : )

    younger based on looks. Older when I start talking. I'm an old soul and bit of a grump.

    Most people are surprised when I tell them my age (56). They assume I'm in my 40's.

    I'm 32, and people think I am in my late 20's. Sometimes younger depending on how I am dressed.

    Younger, but they are just being nice! Being 30 with two small kids definitely ages you quickly!!

    Younger, but IDK why. I'm 33 the other day at the hospital the police did not want to let me back to see my dad cause he thought I was a young minor. Really? I have also gotten the "you need an adult with you" at the gym while I was playing racquetball with my 12 year old. Honestly.
