Do you look younger, older, or just right?


Quote  |  Reply

I was reading the "I look younger than I am" thread and it was very interesting how people don't like to look younger than they are! I think it is a compliment when I get carded, lol!

Anyways, if you have pictures in your gallery lets see who looks older, younger, or exactly their age! Hair and makeup  play a role in how old or young someone looks, so 2 pictures might depict 2 different ages....

I think I look my age with short or long hair.....I am 29 with 2 kids ....I don't know what do ya'll think?

well...do I look younger or older or just right for my gulp...39 years?

and I would guess you were in your mid to late 20's...

i'm told i look younger than my age pretty often, and i definitely have no problem with that.

people frequently ask me where i go to school or when i'll be done with school. younger guys tend to hit on me, like in the 20-22 age range, and then look shocked (horrified?) when i tell them my age. guys in their early 30's usually assume i'm SO much younger than them.

i really have no problem with getting older. recently i saw a picture of myself really smiling and noticed the lines around my eyes seem to be more pronounced than i remember them ever being...and i liked it!

I'd guess that you were around my age.  The mid-twenties.

I'm twenty-five! I would also guess the same for Jules and Kae. :)

you need glassed LOL...I may be able to pass for earlier 30's, but my days of passing for 20's are OVER (but thanks...you are kind your good deed of the day is done lol)

 

I think for the most part everyone above me looks a bit younger than their actual age.

I LOVE when people think Im younger than I am. Im 23 but I often get asked "did you just graduate from High School?" um no, Ive been graduated from college for over a year.

For me its a total compliment.

ETS: I think its because of my round face and a bit chubbier cheeks. :)

You could pass for the mid-twenties, Kae. :)

 

In my picture, I'm the one in the red shirt.  I'm 29.  But I still get carded for cigarettes and alcohol.  I'm sure when I'm 40, it will be nice, but right now it's annoying.  I don't even bother to walk into a liquor store if I don't have my ID.  When I was 16 and working at my first job, people would come in and ask me if I was even old enough to be working there.   Hopefully I can quit smoking so that I won't have the opposite problem when I do get older.

I'll be 25 in a week... ugh. I routinely have people ask if I'm 5-6 years younger. Even my bf thought I was about 19 when we first met. 

Im 39 with 3 kids, the oldest is 14.  I have people doubting me all the time and Ive even had to show my licence to prove my age.  I have pics of me in my profile

Spuck...you do look young

(especially the one of you in the bridal gown lol)

Depends on the context for me honestly.  I've got one in my gallery from December that isn't too bad.  Need some new good ones since I've cut my hair.  When I get carded and people sit there and are nice about it I don't mind.  Guess it means I actually can look forward to being "old" and still looking youthful.  It's the negative remarks and glares that bother me.  

I'm 30 and haven't ever been told what age people think I am.  Most say 25 would be pushing it.  I think I look younger sometimes but I'm a  jeans and tees kinda gal.

thats my favourite one!!!  lol

 

You sound like me.  Been with hubby since I was 18 prob. the same for you.  3 kids but no dogs.

And you look young as well

Running around shopping for school supplies we were asked by several people if we were getting ready to send our daughter off to college.  We were shocked!  No, she's 13!  We are getting ready to send her to the 8th grade!!  But I remember when I was her age, I was always mistaken for being older.  Now at 39, I think I still look pretty young.  Sorry, no pictures, someday I will figure out how to put one on here.   

I got carded regularly until I was in my mid-30s.  I am now 46 and people consistently think I'm at least 10 years younger.  Not a problem for me.

 I'm always mistaken for a teenager myself. Undecided 

That actually wasn't annoying until we had our daughter. I've had people tell me what a great/wonderful ' big sister ' I am... People mistake my mother for my daughters actual mother when we're out. >_< Upon telling them: " ooooh no... She's mine....She's her grandmother! " I've been given snorts/brow arches because that's just wrong at my age. Snide comments,etc. It's pathetic...

 I'm rarely ever carded because I don't drink/smoke. People say: "Ooh you will... when you're older. . .Wait till turn twenty-one. -wink- "

They wouldn't let me into a rated ' R ' movie recently. They didn't even ID my husband at all. However, they wouldn't let him vouch for me. At that point I was waving my left hand in the air...Showing them my wedding rings saying: "He's my husband... though. This is ridiculous..."

Then... They let  me into see the movie! ( I always bring my ID now. )

I would love to get carded...sigh...

those days are over...but in all honesty  I do think I look younger then I am...but not THAT much younger...

I think you look just right, or on the young side of it... maybe 26?

I usually get older than my age, I'm 16, but often get university age so around 19... I don't think so? Do I look older or sixteen?

 it depends on how you dress...you could look 16 or 19 depending...you are very pretty!

Im 24, but my age look varies from about 20 to 28ish depending on how rested I am and of course my facial hair adds and subtracts accordingly.

my facial hair makes me look older too...
