    I'm 38 but it's assumed that I'm in my mid 20s. I love it! I've even been carded for alcohol when I'm out with my husband.

    Good question. I have a 20, 17 and 11 year old and people think I am actually sisters with my older two...smh I even get carded for some over the counter medicine....smh. And no one believes I am actually a mother of a 20 year old, they act very shock when they hear that.

    I will give you just one example...my middle daughter is taking cosmetology in school and one morning I went in to let her do my hair. Well her friends in the class were just talking to her all around me and such while I was glancing through a book, my daughter asked me something then said mom, all talking hush and they asked her, is that your mom? They said all that time they thought I was her older sister....let me tell you the "conversation" changed AND they started with the maam and yes maam...LOL

    forgot to add I am 39

    I'm 33, but people say I look about 25. I'll take it! Especially after being a mother of two. : )

    I'm 25. I constantly get ID'd for booze (18). I then usually get either a total absence of eye contact or profuse apologies after handing over my driving licence.

    Tbh, it amuses me. By rights, it should amuse them giving the photo on my ID is from when I was 16 and I hadn't showered in 8 days. *ahem*

    I look about 3-8 years younger if I take my glasses off too so lord only knows what'd happen if I got contacts and tried to buy alcohol!


    I used to get into arguments when I went to buy cigarettes because the sign used to say under 30 you need ID! I was over 30 and It would drive me crazy especially the days when I just ran out of the house in my sweats to get a pack of smokes and didn't carry my purse. They have changed the sign to 40 now and I am 37.5... Some people still card me for smokes some don't but if I don't look 18 by now.. WTF? I think some do it just to be a pain in the *kitten* it's usually older white women..... well they might be older than me.. in KY it's possible they are not... People don't age too well around these parts...

    I usually get mistaken for 24. I've avoided the sun all my life and people are genuinely shocked to find out how old I am (39)

    I was not an avoider of sun as a youth, but actively avoided it as a young adult and I think it has made a HUGE difference. I always get compliments on my skin and how healthy and wrinkle free my face is. Not that I should have wrinkles anyway. I love the sun, but I am very careful about always wearing sunscreen and taking good care of my face and décolletage.
    Yeah, I'm 100% wrinkle free so far. Definitely not complaining.

    I had this weird photo thing done to my face when I went to the dermatologist, and based on average UV damage for people my age, my skin was better than 98% and same with wrinkles. It was nice to know my hardwork has paid off and that I have almost no UV damage to my face.

    I was a vampire, i avoided the sun like the plague. Thas what saved me from wrinkles, then again I was always pale with dark hair, the sun hated me lol. thats was saved me from wrinkles. this is so true.

    Usually younger, although a very nice guy I met on a night out a couple of weeks ago (I wasn't on the pull and am happily married lol) put me around 10 years older than I am! He also had me down as being a manager/executive and some other fairly flattering things, so I let him off lol

    I'm 31 and I probably look like I'm in my late 40s... and that's being generous!

    I'm 33 and people think I'm much younger. I act it so I can see why ;)
    I'm starting to notice laugh lines and this annoying forehead wrinkle though. I know it's from always smiling so Im trying to accept it. I'm sure that'll start giving me away soon though. U

    Younger. I don't know how much younger, but I have been told I'm lucky I age so well.

    I'll be 42 in August. Most people who are guessing my age to be around 33-34. I love it! My oldest daughter is turning 24 in August and I have grandchildren.

    I am 59. Some friends told me I look younger but some days after a hard training session my body tells me I am really 59....

    I think I look my age. However, I was always mistakened for being older before I lost 70 lbs. Losing weight makes you look and feel younger.

    I'm (nearly) 27 and I look... 27, lol. Everyone who guesses my age is always dead on. Except for when I was a kid everyone thought I was older because I was always really tall.
