I've had quite a few conversations (mostly at work) lately where we were discussing our ages and how old people think we look and I rarely get told I look the age I am, I'm usually told I look younger and on a few occasions...older :tongue:

So basically, Do you think you look the age you are?

Its a moot point as there are no agreed looks for ages so everyone will not look their age

I think so, but some girl who didn't even look old enough to be behind the counter asked me for ID for ciggies the other day

I am 29 :facepalm:

I know I look older than I am. I blame it on fags, booze and spending a lot of time at sea and outdoors. And I've loved every minute of it. :)

I was told by my Brother recently that I looked younger than my age, but he didn't specify how young I look.

And there was a woman in my local Co-Op who thought that I was 15.

I usually look younger than my age, but I'm currently sporting a beard, which makes me look my age or older.

So a shave takes about ten year's off me.

I thought this was going to be another one of Niamh's quizzes at first glance!

I'd say I'm younger than I look, but hopefully that'll change soon...

I'll be happy when I look 25 so then I'll stop getting asked to show ID :fist:

People always say I look a lot younger then I actually am. They're always surprised when I tell them I'm 26.

I live for it tbh.

Younger unfortunately, I get so much crap in work for asking people for ID to buy alcohol, I've only just been allowed on the tills and always get the sniggers off people when I challenge 25 them and they decide to tell me I look 15 haha

Id rather just punch them myself. Like there is this one bitch that even asks for ID when I'm only buying a scratchcard and its pisses me off because I look a lot older than 16 and she knows I'm a older than 16 aswell :fist:

I look 15-16. I usually get shock every time I tell them my actual age (31). It's annoying when I answer service calls and the repair people ask for my mother. I had an AC repairman who was an old man who nearly doubled over when I told him I was going to go get my husband. I get the feeling he thought I was married too young...

I'm 5'0 (152cm~) and have a small frame so that''s part of it. Thankfully heels are really comfortable for me :laugh: It makes it harder for some people to take me seriously and it can be a struggle as a professional to be taken seriously. Harder to find clothes that are cut right and look great without paying $$$$. American clothes are mostly for tall, heavier framed people.

I take after my grandmother and I only have one grey hair. She didn't start greying really until her late 50's, early 60's. Not a smoker or a drinker and that makes a very big difference I feel. Many of our friends who do aged much faster in their 20's than the husband and I have.

So I ran into a friend I have not seen in about 15 years this weekend... we went to highschool together... but she is one to two years younger than me. She was all wrinkles and loose dry skin... and under 40... I honestly did not recognize her but she did me, and I knew who it was by the voice but I would never have picked her out in a crowd...

I am not bragging but, I never understood why people make such a deal about my skin being "youthful" for my age... I guess in normal society I don't know how old the people I am dealing with are from day to day... I have not had a direct age comparison so full on before. It was actually quite startling to me ... and I am very thankful for my genetics today as a result :laugh:

I would not care if you had skin like a prune.
For you Mokka, I would lasso the moon,
Slay Dragons and fight Iron Mike
But alas you told me; "On your bike". :bawling:

I've no idea,younger hopefully but I guess it depends on whether I've had a bad day.

You most certainly DO NOT look your age. You look much younger Kaz. Why.... your beard and moustache are mere bum-fluff. :hee:
