Do you look your age?

Of course it's hard to judge this directly, but some ways of thinking about it might include: Roughly, do you tend to feel as though you look much older or younger than you are? Are people (genuinely) surprised when you tell them your age?

If I shave I look younger than I am. If I've got about a weeks worth of stubble I look older. Sometimes I wear clothes that might be considered too young for my age, so I tend to look younger then.

I look younger than I am. When I was in my 20's, I looked like a teenager. Sometimes when I went out, people would act patronizing, like I should be in school, like I shouldn't be out so late, that sort of thing. When I worked in the mall, I got there a while before my shift was to start because I rode the bus. I was treated like some loiterer that had nothing better to do than sit around. So... I know how teenagers feel, but I still think it's more frustrating to be an adult who's treated like a teenager.

I think I look my age, 34.
Many people tell me I look a lot younger than that or that I don't look old enough to have an 11 year old daughter.
I think they're just being nice.

I generally look older than I am. Somebody told me that I have a real thoughtful face that generally you don't see in adolescents. At twelve I could get into N-17 movies.

*shrugs* I am told I can look older, if I am dressed in my regular clothes, but I look younger if I am dressed sort of sloppily, just around the house. The people I am with can make people assume I am older or younger, but I look the same. I honestly don't feel I look older then 15 though. (my age)

I look way younger than my age. I never go in the sun and I religiously use skin-care products to keep my skin nice. I'm 28 and I constantly get carded for cigarettes.

I have friends younger than me who are getting wrinkles already. They're sun worshippers. Make fun of me for being so pale that I'm nearly translucent, but no one's ever going to think I'm older than I really am.
And I'll save all that money on acid peels and face lifts.

People are often surprised that I'm not younger. Back when i was a guy they were surprised that I wasn't older. I had gray hair coming in which i later wished away. People read body attitude, and attitude can even affect your physical aging.

I think I look about my age but I have been carded for beer just recently. Drinking age is 21 and I am 26 almost 27. but I have also been mistaken for much older. Many years ago I went to the barber shop with my boyfriend at the time and the hairstylist thought I was his mother. I was very offended. I was like 19 years old at the time and my boyfriend was the same age as me.

I'm only 23, but I am often mistaken for someone younger. I think it has to do with my personality. I'm pretty carefree and not too concerned with appearing sophisticated or worldly. I like seeming younger. Being jaded and cynical are probably the major "agers" in this society. I don't think its so cool to be that way. Its better to act young at heart (thereby appearing younger) even when experienced in the ways of the world.

I agree with you about the skin thing. I'm a user of skin care products religiously. I don't sun bath, and I wear sun glasses and use moisturizer. I'm 18 now so you can't really tell a difference, but I've been doing this since I was 15! So maybe when I get older I'll look younger than my sun-worshipping friends who mock me for my paleness!
