    People have always thought I'm younger. A couple of stories:

    1. When I was 7 (nearly 8) I got into Disneyland for free (5 and under back in the early 90s could get in for free).
    2. When I was in 3rd year uni (aged 20), I was asked at a skating rink what grade I was in by a teenager.
    3. When I was 16, I was able to get the salad bar cost at a 12 year old (instead of paying adult fare at age 16).
    4. I get carded EVERY SINGLE TIME I want to go to a club (I'm 30).

    I just realised, a lot of people assume i'm their age! My colleagues I consider older than me (mid 40s) think I'm their age, a 20-something I met on a bus thought I was her age, my friend couldn't believe I would turn 38 this year because she thought we were the same age :laugh:

    I guess everyone just wants to be like me :laugh:

    People seem to think I look younger than I am (I'm 20), however, I hardly ever get asked for ID when I'm buying alcohol. Maybe they're just lazy. Or maybe it's because I'm holding my car keys.

    Older.....pregnancy runs havoc on my skin and the weight doesnt help

    I am 28 and i have had people put me at 32-36 .......

    I remember feeling devastated and thinking if i dont do something about my weight and my skin and my general health ppl will think my hubby has arrived with his mother as opposed to his wife

    When I was teenager, people thought I was older. However as I get older, people tell me that I look younger :happy:

    I've had both. Some think I'm younger and I get carded all the time. One time though I went to look at houses and the lady thought my boyfriend was my son! In my defense he looked like he was a really tall 14 year old...

    Most people think I'm younger. I am 21 but could pass for 13/14 without makeup and my hair done. With makeup and my hair done most people think I am 16/17.

    About the age I actually am. But for so long people thought I was older... now that I AM the age people thought, it finally aligns! Lol.

    For the most part, people in polite society are going to tell you that they think you're younger than they actually think you are by about 3-5 years. So whenever someone tells you they thing you're x age, what they're actually thinking is that you're x+5 years.

    It's social lubricant.

    Someone on here guessed that I was in my 40s. So I guess older, these days. :ohwell:

    It wasn't but 7 or 8 years ago, people still mistook me as being in high school (almost 35 now, so I was in my late 20s). Guess my age has finally caught up with me.

    Younger

    I'm 41 and people always guess younger. It's tiresome.

    Younger, which makes it hard to buy booze, always need my papers for that. It's annoying.
