    It depends on the day and how I wear my hair. lol. I'm not kidding! Sometimes people think I'm not even 20, while other times I'm in my mid-30's. When I was 15, people were guessing anywhere from 13-32 based on where I was and what my job was. I'm 26.

    I look younger... always have. Yesterday a work colleague told someone 15 years younger than I am that I looked younger than them. But then I'm the one on MFP doing the work outs... plus wearing a mask helps... it covers the wrinkles :)

    Of of the reasons I'm losing weight is to look younger. It's amazing in most of the 'before and after' photos how much younger people look. I feel frumpy and heading towards middle age being overweight.

    Another thing, New Zealand (and Australian) sun isn't kind to skins! Folks in the UK generally have better skin cos of less sun damage. I'm pretty wrinkly and freckly... would like to get some dermabrasion/laser work to even things up a bit.

    I did have someone think I was about 10 years younger the other day, but she was in her late 60s. Do you find people a long way off your age have difficulty picking your age? My mum used to refer to people in their 30s and 40s as 'young girls' cos they were lots younger than her.

    Teenagers have no idea! Teaching high school aged 24 I was only a few years older than them but they thought I was OLD! All us new teachers did occassionally get confused with students by older teachers. I dressed quite formally to show I wasn't a student.

    I'm 49 but people never believe me when I tell them. Being a ginger & a sun dodger sure has helped.:wink:

    most people guess that I am younger then 42, My wife who is 41 looks like she is 20 and I get creeper looks.

    No lie, when our daughter was six months old we were at a fair and I was pushing her in a stroller with my wife next to me, these two older ladies come up to look at our baby, and say to me, "awe this baby is so cute, is this your daughter?" and I say yes, then they turn to my wife and say, "are you the baby sitter?"

    Also, two years ago at the age of 39, she was given the "under 12" menu at a local resturant and we had our three children with us....they gave me an adult menu and 4 kid menu's...lol

    I am about to turn 34. I get the younger all the time. Ranges drastically. One of my favorite things that happened to me was my 30th birthday, I went out and they thought my id was a fake.

    I am 50 and I get mistaken for being in my 40's all the time. I think it is because I am short.

    People tend to think I'm younger than I am. It's tiresome, especially when getting carded. Maybe I don't look like I'm 40, but you know darn well I am not under 21. Seriously.

    I'm 30, married to a 24 year old. his army pals thought i was 18. they tried to rip on him for "robbing the cradle"
    when he is actually robbing the grave. lol jk

    when i was 16 everyone thought i was 24. now that I'm older i keep getting younger. makes ya feel good!

    everyone thinks hubs is younger (;like 16-18) when he is clean shaven. so i like him to keep face fuzz. grown man hair. to look more his age. :)
    he hates shaving anyway. has to every drill.

    i know chicks dig being told we look younger, for the most part. young, pretty, slender, anything like that makes our lil days.
