    I'm 30 but people seem to think I look mid 30's or older which is depressing cos I still feel and act about 18. I think it's my stupid hair which is determined to depart the front of my head

    A cop asked me to see my license when I went to see Magic Mike AFTER I had already bought my ticket :( really? You have to be 17 to watch Rated-R movies here...

    I usually hear late 20s but I'm in my late thirties. When I say I have an kid who's nearly 18 I get a "whaaaattt??"...I used to hate it, but now I'm all for it.

    I'm in the same boat. I'm 35 and am often pegged around 25 or less.

    I'm a little worried I'll look more my age as I lose weight (less fat=more wrinkles). Who wants to look old? On the other hand, looking young is hurting my career, and my career is all I really have. I'm a little tired of everybody assuming I'm a wet-behind-the-ears newbie when I've really been in the work force for 17 years. The surprise people express when I prove (yet again) that I really do know what I'm talking about gets old. Age discrimination is alive and well and it doesn't matter how old you ARE, only how old you LOOK.

    I generally am mistaken to be the same age as the girlfriends of my boyfriend's friends - about 12 years younger (I'm 37, they usually think I'm 25).

    I've also gotten carded at the movies.

    I'm 27 and was asked if I was old enough to sit in the emergency exit row on my last flight. That was about a year ago and the minimum age is 15! :laugh:

    I usually get mid to late 20's. I'm going to be 38. They generally get shocked when I tell them my oldest son is 17. :P

    I get 26-28. The oldest anyone ever guessed was 31, and that was AFTER I told them I had a 9 yr old at home :-)

    I'm 36

    Usually if I'm cleanly shaven I get told I look young.

    I'm 26 & I get mixed reviews...some say I look about 29 or 30, and others say I look about 19 or 20. I guess it depends on how I'm styled that day!

    I'm 30 and people always assume I'm in my late teens or early 20's. Sometimes I just go with it. lol

    Older. I'm 23, and I have people who think my 13 and 9 year old sisters are my kids.

    In the same vein, when I was in middle school, I was at the commissary with my stepdad and 3 year old sister; they thought I was mom and he was dad. Awkward.

    Most people have a hard time believing that I have a 23 year old son. I haven't been asks for my ID in a bar for at least 10 years so I think I pass the 30 year old look by now. How old would you think I am?

    People have told me both ways. I'm 27 and people have said I look 35 and some people 25. Sometimes I get carded, sometimes not. Sigh. I hate being told I look 35 but it is what it is. The extra weight probably doesnt help.
