8/17 Question

Do you look your age?

If you don't mind sharing, how old are you and do you ever get mistaken for the wrong age, what age?

I do not look my age.

I am 22 (almost 23 lol). I get carded every time I go to the Westgate Mall in Spartanburg. After 6:00 pm you cannot be in the mall without an adult if you are under 18. What's sad is that DH and I have gone in together and still get stopped.

I always get carded when I order alcohol anywhere ( I don't mind this),

And I frequently get student tickets at the movie theater bc the attendant assumes I am a student -- this is the BEST!!! $1.50 savings per ticket =P.

For me...it depends.

I'm 24 (25 in December.

I'm seriously confused about how old I look.  I get mixed messages.  I haven't been carded for alcohol in awhile.  However, last year when I was at my doctor, he thought my husband was my dad and I was like 12.

When I was 21, I was getting a new pair of glasses and they asked me if I wanted the anti-glare (for night driving).  The lady said, "Nevermind, you aren't old enough to need it."  

I'm told by people I look younger than my age, but act older...so I guess that's a good thing.  Maybe I don't get carded for alcohol because I'm usually ordering/buying dry red wine and not girlie beers anymore.

I have no idea how old I look.  I'm 27. How old do you think I look?

I don't get carded for alcohol often anymore, and the mirror tells me I certainly look older than 21.  I don't know how much older though haha.

I don't think you look any older than 25 and that's pushing it. I'd say closer to 22/23.

thefuturemrsfollmer

definitely look older than I really am..

 

I'm 23 (24 in December) but people always at least think I'm 26...

No one believes me when I tell them I'm 30. I get carded for everything, cigarettes, beer, and not too long ago a movie (stupid kid working the theater could have been my kid had a been a slutty teenager!)

I don't think I look 30 but I'm still having trouble deciding what 30 is supposed to look like, I'm still in the mindset that I had when I was a teenager that 30 year olds are moms, all grown up, and boring and I don't want to be that lady!

I work in orthodontics and one of my patients is a senior in high school.  She looked at me a few weeks ago... we were deep in discussion about why she shouldn't be drinking underage and she said "what, you can't be more than a year or two older than me, right?"  I was like um, no, I'm 26.  Guess in her eyes I look like I just graduated high school... 

I guess that's good because somebody asked me if my DH was old enough to be married a few months ago... he's 25!

I'm 24, but a lot of people say that I look younger.  I've even had people tell me I look 18 or 19, although I think that's a bit of a stretch!

I generally hear that I'm younger than I actually am.  At the same time, I've had clients that had no idea what age I was guess older.  I think that has a lot more to do with my job than what I look like.  Sometimes I have clients give me really strange looks when they first meet me so I go ahead and throw out "I'm not quite as young as I look".

I will be 25 next week.

I either look around the age that I am (28 as of Sunday), or a little younger.  I get carded a lot, but when I don't it's because I'm with H, who is 38.

I'm 30. I get carded everywhere though by no means do I look under 21. People generally guess 27/28 or around there.  I don't think of myself as looking like an age. I just look like me.
