do you feel comfortable when you look older than you are

some (actually, many) people told me that i look 5-7 year older than my real age. how about you guys, what would you feel (i am talkign about men, not women)?
 
I am regularly told I could pass for any age between 21 to 30 (I'm 20). My physical appearance of maturity doesn't really cause me any problems.

My emotional maturity, however, has caused me problems for the last four years. Oh well.
 
When I was 19 people kept trying to sell me booze. Not hustlers either, like restaurants and other places. It was rather annoying since I was usually the DD.

My little brother is 15 and can pass for 25. (It helps that he's 6'3") I dunno about him, but that sure bothers me.
 
I'm 20 and I look about 23. Most of the guys at the PD are suprised when I tell them I'm underage. 😀

That'll probably change soon, though. I have to get rid of my facial hair when I'm sworn in due to regulations. 😕
 
It doesn't bother me that I look older than I am, or heavier than I am, but I don't like feeling physical older than I am. 🙁
 
when i was in middle school, i look older then I actually am, that didn't bother me.
But right now I am 20, and still look like a high school kid, is starting to piss me off.
 
I'm 33. I think I still look younger than I actually am, which sometimes gets confirmed whenever I spot someone who went to high school with me.

Most of my classmates are fat and bald. I still look roughly the same.
 
My perceived age can vary quite a good deal...with a fresh haircut and casual clothes, I might not look 21, but dressed up like I usually prefer to do, I could look 25.

As long as I look good, that's fine with me. When I'm a scrub, I'd rather make as little human contact as possible 😉
 
Looking 10 years older is fine and all, but if I shave & leave my hat on, I revert all the way into pubescence.

14:21:30 - take your pick.

Same for me, unfortunately. I tell people I've graduated and they ask "from what high school?" :-/
 
It was a compliment up until I was around 24 because people thought I was in my late 20's. I'm shockingly mature in person.

Now that I'm 26 and I actually have a good bit of gray hair coming I won't miss if nobody ever says it again 🙂
