Age is a funny thing. Some look it, some dont. You can try to stop looking old if you are by putting on cream or dying your hair from gray to another color.
But naturally how OLD do you look? Do you got a baby face? Or do you look your age?
I ask because I have a baby face. So does my sister we got it from our mom. I am almost 28 in December but I shock most people who believe I cant be any older than 20! I kid not. Most dont believe I am my age. I have a baby face.
How about you? Look your age? Or baby face?
thanx for all your thoughts :))

I don't have a baby face, monkeywriter. I would think that the older one got, the more appealing having a baby face would be. However, despite not having such a face, most of my friends often tell me that I don't look a day over 80!

Ive noticed quite a progression in my appearances changes.
When I was 21 I was asked if I wanted to ride the bus on a childrens ticket (16years)
Last weekend a girl guessed my age to 34 (im 29 o0)
Dont have a clue tbh, but I think ppls view of your age partially is linked to how you dress yourself as well.
And my clothes style really has changed a lot. Less youthlilke so to speak.

Me, i don't look my age. I am already 27 years of age, but i don't look 27. My friends tease me that i look like a Highschool Student because I am so petite and when i smile i don't look my age, i look younger than 20's.

Oh yeah, i can relate to what you are saying. I face that problem quite often. Just recently i had a guy telling me he thought i was in 8th grade and im 26 :) it has its good points and bad points. When i first got my driving license and then for the next couple of years, i had policemen checking my license to see if i was old enough to drive. But on the good side, i know i wont get wrinkles too quickly :P

When I was a kid I was assumed to be older. I dressed older, matured quickly, and hung out with older friends. So I was already assumed to be an adult at like 11 or so.
However, I still look just about like I looked then, and now I'm 27. So people still assume I'm 18 or so. I often get asked if I'm still in high school, and when I was pregnant people approached me about "the problems of teen pregnancy" even though I was 25 at the time. It was very weird. =P

I was told that I look younger than my age. There was once I went to watch rated movie with my friends and the staff wanted to check my age because in my country rated movie is only open to 21 years old and above.

I would love to get on that TLC Show "10 Years Younger" lol
I usually get guessed at 28 or 29 and Im 35. I dont think I look my age, not when I look at myself in pics or things. Leaning in REALLY close to the mirror I look older ahha
Your spirit has a lot to do with how you look too I think. Im very young at heart, Im probably still 21 to tell you the truth. Might not ever get past 21 either, who knows! lol

I know I don't look my age. I'm 32 but recently got ID'd to buy lottery tickets (only have to be 18 to buy them). Noboday EVER believes I'm as old as I am. I got it from my mom, who looks nowhere near her age (she's 56). Everywhere we go, people think we're sisters. I got into an argument with a lady that used to come into my work over this. She swore there was no way in hell that could be my mother. It took both of us showing her our drivers licenses to finally convince her. Gives me hope for when I'm that age!!

I'm almost 35 and people usually guess me to be about 25. I still get asked if I'm a student when I go to buy a bus ticket or something.
I think genetics and lifestyle play a big part in looking younger, but attitude does as well. If you think you're old then you will be. But if you keep your inner child alive and healthy then you will always look and seem younger than you are. I have noticed this with everyone I know who is still a kid at heart.

When I was thirty, many people were shocked when they hear about their age. I asked them why, and they told me I didn't look a bit like a thirty old. I looked not more than 25. So I guess maybe I look five years younger than my age.
