    I'm 61 - younger - I purposely died my beard grey to stop the annoying ID checks at bars, liquor and beer stores:wink:

    I've looked 40 since I was 21. I'm hoping that means that once I actually am 40 (five years yet) I'll continue to look 40 for a couple more decades.

    You tell me........I always think I look younger than 54 but most people think they look younger than other see them. I know some people I know my age that look reallllllllllly old.

    I am 30 .. but people always guess younger, around 25. But I have 5 children which makes people guess I am older then I am .. or a baby sitter!

    People tend to guess I'm around 22-25, even with the beard.

    I'm almost 32.

    Younger BUT I have noticed the difference between the age they guess and my actual age is steadily shrinking. Poop. :grumble:

    I am 65 and most people think I am in my late 50's. Maybe it also has to do with the fact that I am active and friendly and work almost exclusively with people under 40.....:o).

    I'm 24 but people tend to think I'm younger. I had one lady ask me once if I was old enough to drive a car.

    People tend to think I am much younger. I once had to speak at a conference after my weight loss and they mistook me for an 18 or 19 year old. I'm almost 27.

    People always think I'm younger than my actual age. Recently I mentioned something about my four kids to a new co-worker. He looked stunned and said, "FOUR kids!? Um, how old are you?" I said, "Forty-one." He said, with the same stunned look, "I thought you were in your late twenties!"

    I've always looked young for my age, but I was still flattered.

    It may be the furry tiger hat that does it.

    I'm 26 and get mistaken for younger all the time. I usually get mistaken for college-aged, but last september I was mistaken for a high school student. I didn't used to mind, but now I'm beginning to because it makes me question myself -- do I not dress sophisticated enough for my age!? :laugh: My boyfriend is 31 and gets mistaken for older, so it's a bit awkward to think that we might look like mid-30s man out with his teenaged girlfriend. Yikes!
