Do You Look Your Age? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Family Ties Forever! · 08-08-2006, 12:35 AM

Do you look your age or do you look younger/older? I know we have had a few threads in the past about this, but I thought I would ask again.

Today at a doctor's office, a lady couldn't believe how old I was. She thought I was 14-15.

She couldn't believe that I'm almost 28.

I'm almost always mistaken for being younger, sometimes much younger, than I really am. My mother says I just have that 'youthful' look.

What about you?

It could go either way, but people rarely nail it. If I have a beard, people think I'm in my early-mid thirties. When I'm clean-shaven, I'm often mistaken for late teens or early twenties.

no and I hate it. im always IDed for everything and it annoys the hell out of me.

dandelion wine · 08-08-2006, 12:40 AM

Hell no, people think I'm 10 years younger and I'm almost 32.

Been told I have that youthful look as well.

vienna waits · 08-08-2006, 12:43 AM

customers think im not old enough to ring up their alcohol at work. but in general i think i look right about my age.

RustyShackleford · 08-08-2006, 12:44 AM

Im 20 years old going on 21, and people ask me if im still in high school

PZelda · 08-08-2006, 12:56 AM

I really don't know...

I turn 21 in a little over a week from now. When I was 18 going on 19, people asked me if I was 21. This actually happened quite often when I was younger. People thought I was about 2-3 years older than my actual age. But now, I think I just look my age. *shrug*

You're nowhere close to turning 21. That's like saying I'm 21, going on 22 when I won't be 21 for another week.

Brad Russ · 08-08-2006, 01:38 AM

The funny thing about my age, is half the people I meet tell me I look older, while the other half tells me I look younger. So, there's really no way for me to answer the poll question.

PrettyinPink55 · 08-08-2006, 01:40 AM

Heck no!!! I'm 21 and still look like I'm 15 or something!

I get mistaken for a high schooler or a middle schooler ALL the freakin' time!!! I'm so used to it!

Chelsea · 08-08-2006, 01:42 AM

Depends on the clothes I've got on, and how long it's been since I've been near the razor and shaving cream.

Mr. Television · 08-08-2006, 01:56 AM

Yea I look my age. I haven't been carded in almost 10 years.

Karen* · 08-08-2006, 01:59 AM

People think I'm either younger or older. They've hardly ever been spot-on about my age.

Mrs. Ducky · 08-08-2006, 02:10 AM

I'm not even 15 yet and everyone thinks I'm 18 or 19!

Hollow · 08-08-2006, 02:55 AM

since i was 13 or so people have thought i was 18-19ish....i'm 17, i guess i've grown into it by now.

80sTrivia · 08-08-2006, 05:57 AM

People tend to think I am considerably younger than my actual age, which I think is a good thing!
