im going to be 29 on saturday but most people think im 21-22ish. its kinda frustrating cuz i have a hard time meeting women around my age but anything between 18-22 it's pretty easy. thing is i find i don't have alot in common with girls that young. im one of those guys likes to reminisce about the 90's alot but most girls 18-22 dont know enough about that era.


if you're like me please state your age and how old you actually look.

Same deal, going on 29 and people mistake me for 23 or 24, even though I have a balding but shaved head.

It sure does suck getting younger chicks!!

I'm 27 but I've been told I pass for 22-23 if I'm clean-shaven. No wrinkles, crows' feet, balding/thinning or gut at this point.

I think between now and 30 will be the most optimal time for getting girls - I look young enough to tap the younger ones, and I'm mature enough for the slightly older ones (early to mid 30s).

Enjoy it. I used to be like you. You know. A 29 year old that looks like a 16 year old. Then my wife and I had our first kid. Now I look like I have one foot in the grave and a basketball coming out of my stomach. Oh, what the hell happened to me!?!!?!!?!?

I'm 32 and still get carded all the time unless I haven't shaved for a few days. As long as you're relatively trim, have all of your hair, and no gray hairs...a lot of people will have a hard time pinning you down.

What really surprises me is how old some people look. There was a guy on our project...really nice guy, but he was very overweight, balding, and already going gray. I assumed he was mid 40's only to find out he was a couple years old than me (~34 now...32 when I met him). That would suck.

Ha, isn't that the truth. There's a guy exactly like that in my office.

By the late 20s/early 30s, it becomes frighteningly apparent who has taken care of their body (healthy eating, exercise, less stress) and who has never really cared all along :eek:.

I have no idea anymore. I've had a beard for the last 7 or so years and that's when people stopped mistaking me for being younger than I was.

Most people think I'm a little older than I actually am. I'm 19 and usually people will guess 22-24. Facial hair helps :awe:

I have just the opposite problem. People think I'm older than I really am...

It's hard for some folks to believe I just turned 19 last month...
