    not sure, I get both ways. depends on what I am wearing... what do YOU think?

    Guessing 35, but some of that is based on your very short hair. Your face looks much younger: guessing 28 maybe?

    As for me, I'm 57. People don't usually comment on how old I look and I don't ask. But I'm guessing I look older since I've been offered the senior discount for over 60 year-olds since I was 50. Good deal--10% off, so maybe I should be thankful!

    yep, hair is what throws people. 31, been loosing my hair since 27ish... but I have a "baby" face in that I do not grow facial hair very fast or thick. so when I wear a hat I get younger, without a hat I get older.

    I'm 56 and people think I look 30. Just kidding! I look my age. It's my heart and thoughts that are youthful!

    Nothing wrong with a 'baby' face, since if you stay out of the sun, you will keep a youthful look for a long time. I like the hat idea. The 'Mad Men' look should come back, I think.

    people always think i'm younger, but i credit it to not having children which ages people considerably.

    I'm 28 and most people think I'm about 19, at most I usually get 23. I have a super bubbly personality, so that kind of works against me, or for me, as well. Ha.

    I used to get asked if I was still in school (a lot) not so much anymore. Probably more to do with my job (retail) people tend to look down on it and feel you must be in school to work for something better. Silly people I went to college I just like my job!

    95% of the time they always think I'm much younger. I'm okay with looking younger. It beats looking older.

    Maybe it's the wraith-like clothing. I would try wearing brighter colors. :wink:

    I am 18 but usually people think I am younger (maybe 15-16). Once at Wendy's, I went through the drive thru and the guy said "You mighty young to be driving a car" lol.

    In my case, I would mind it. However it has got to be more than just your physical appearance. It could also be with the way you think or act that people thought you are double your actual age.

    On the other hand, I also don't like to be mistaken as 15-18 when in fact I'm already 33.

    I'm 35 but I get 25 - 27 all the time.

    I have 3 kids and everyone thinks I'm babysitting. My son is 13 and taller then me, and we have a great relationship and love to joke around with each other - so people definitely think he's my lil brother.

    There's a tipping point for everyone. For decades people thought I was much younger. But, I've caught up to myself and I don't think there's any mistaking now. LOL.

    I'm cool with it. I got a free pass for a long time.
