You look like you're 16!

I had an 18'ish year old girl ask me out before. I told her I was old enough to be her father and she gave me the puzzled look. So I guess I must not look quite 38.

Gigity.

am i the only one who says "thank you" when asked to see ID?
Then the clerk does a double take, and tries to verify if its fake or not... lol...

i take it as a compliment...

I went back to school at 28 and a lot of people though I was an 18 y/o freshman. It was interesting...

Like I said, I think eventually we'll take it as a compliment but considering all we've been through I think we've earned the right to be considered adults. We had our first child when I was 23 and she was 18, second when we were 24 and 20. My wife only had her high school education and I was a college dropout loser who couldn't hold a job more than 6 months.

13 years later, we've overcome so much adversity in our lives and yet we continue to thrive and our lives just keep getting better and better. Very, very few people that have been in our situation could say the same.

In the meantime, I guess we just have to grin and bear it. When we're in our early 40's our kids will be grown up and out of the house so we'll be living it up like we're 20 years younger.

I've shared pics of my pretty redheaded wife before.

It's a common trend now that people look younger... we're pretty pampered versus the older generations and don't work in the same industries as much, don't smoke as much, drink as much, etc.

I believe the politically correct way of saying it is that we no longer look ridden hard and put away wet.

I got carded until my low 30s but now at 35 I'm starting to get too many grays for people to think I'm worth carding... most still think mid 20s but no longer late teens.

Opposite here. When I was 13, people use to think that I was a college going guy.

Me too, so I'm not feeling too much sympathy for the OP. Lol. My first engineering job the average guess (the shop actually had a pool) was 33. I was 22. The freakin' parlay board hadn't even been made to go that low. You would think a bunch of chronic gamblers would be better at it.

I too got carded buying a non-alcoholic drink, a Hansen's Orange Soda. (It comes in a brown bottle.) I was maybe 40 or so and my beard was mostly gray. WTH? At least I'm not the only one.

Best times of my life were being ridden hard and put up wet.

I still get this sometimes but its basically because I shave every day and I actually do a good job of it. People are really stupid about age w men, it's basically determined by facial hair. I could pass for 40 if I just didn't shave for a week.

 

[Imp]

I still get carded buying alcohol... despite the fact that I'm almost 30 and the drinking age in my province is 19. I'm freaking bald too. Like, how can I have fully developed male pattern baldness and not be at least 19?

I hate the dirt bags that card me for cigarettes. Some people have common sense, but when you see someone with a damn goatee they are most likely not under 18. I look well above 18 FFS!

At the liqueur store is different. The government is on their ass for card checking and they could lose their business. In fact the liqueur store I go to had to close for a few days because they were caught not checking ID.

I work with a few people in their 50's who have been vegan for a long time, i.e. have eaten a lot of healthy food their whole lives, no smoking or drugs, and they all look extremely young, like in their 30's. If you have a low-stress job, eat well, and don't abuse your body, I guess it makes sense that you don't look prematurely old.

My GF (21) is usually mistaken for being 18.

Most people think I'm in my early 20's.

Neither of us drink, smoke, and we try and maintain a healthy(ish) lifestyle (no crap food all the time, decent amounts of exercise), and good hygiene.

I used to hate it as a younger guy in my late teens and early 20's, but now I'm quite flattered. :thumbsup:

oh look

Our resident pedo wants pics of the chick that looks 16. Color me shocked.

 

[JMapleton]

I'm 31 and I consistently have a difficult time getting the attention of salesmen at stores. Actually annoying when I want to buy something.

A lot of people think they look young but I could easily put on a backpack and pass for a high school kid.

LOL, what's the difference between 21 and 18? 21 year olds are hardly visually different from 18 year olds.

Examples in this thread should be limited to people 30 and up.

Yeah. Mistaking a 21 year-old for 18 is absolutely nothing.

i think if i didn't have such salt and pepper hair that people would think i'm younger than 33. i've had people tell me they think i'm 30-31 before with it as it is. my wife looks younger than she is too. but having that problem is a good thing.

oh and OP should provide pics so we can be the judge.

What you and olds do behind closed doors is between you. Take the hint.







Brag thread by the OP.
