Actually many of you don't know this but in the old chinese calendar year. We are actually 1 year older.

-My Asian GF is 21 and she looks like 16-18 years old. Sweet eh?

Don't worry, this isn't an asian only problem. People at work still refer to me as "the kid".

I went to buy a suit over semester break and the guy asked me if it was for senior pictures (high school). I'm a senior in college.

The fountain of youth is NOT a curse people! :)
My buddy got carded for an R-rated movie and he was 24 at the time. He told me to never tell a soul about the incident. LOL!! :D

I live in a house that my roommates and I are renting and we often get solicited by people around the neighborhood.
You know what are the FIRST words to come out of their mouths?

"Is your mom or dad home?" -- LOL

or if they're afraid to offend me

"Are you the man of the house?" -- but they're only asking to be on the safe side.

Grow Facial Hair, like those threads here about before/after shaving pics. Before pics they look their age or older, after pics they look like their in middle school.

Start lifting weights. After awhile your "look" will change.

A physically developed person will always look more "mature" and usually "older" to other people's eyes. Even if you are shorter in stature.
