    Default Looking Younger or Older than you are?

    Do you ever get mistaken for being younger or older?

    I know with me, i'm 28 now and people often think i'm anywhere between 18-23. I know this sounds like a great thing and it is at times..but recently i have started studying again and some of the lecturers there have just assumed i guess, that i'm the same age as the majority of the class..which could be anywhere between 17 and 23.

    Get this, I actually missed a few classes and told the teacher on the phone how i'm just not sleeping well at the moment, that maybe i have a bit of anxiety etc. I thought i was just opening up to her in private and she went on to tell me I should keep taking the pills, that it will take over my life (depression) if i didn't............

    I told her that i wasn't depressed..nor did i want to take any pills (the dr had given me soem to try and after 1 and a dizzy experience i threw them out) and that i enjoyed school etc.

    Well...next thing i get a call from my parents who are on vacation at the moment, asking my why this drama queen is calling them up seeming concerned about me. i set them straight and then left a very assertive message on this teacher's answering service telling her i didn't appreciate her doing that, that i wasn't a child.


    It just made me think, not only do i look younger, i guess i must act it too..i can't beleive that teacher did that, altho i can understand her concern thinking i was perhaps younger.

    I get 22 usually but I'm only 20, lol. So long as I can permanently stay in that 22 window I'll be happy.

    I've been mistaken for 15, and i'm 22. It can lend me an advantage in the club (as I look barely legal) but when the bouncer at a nightclub is accusing me of trying to pass a fake ID, well...it can be annoying.

    People have been guessing my age to be younger lately (I'm 26). I keep hearing 20, 21, 22....even 15 with a good fake id. LOL. Must be my new moisturizer!
    However, I have noticed that towards the end of a long night of drinking, I no longer get carded , and guys have guessed my age to be between 33 and 45.
    If there is a moral to this story (uhh, slow down on the drinks)... I'm so not willing to accept it.

    Im 28 but people always guess much younger when im at work and outside of work.

    I like it that way. I know what u mean tho about when you're studying. I did my degree as a mature age student and I had the really young guys assuming I was there age and trying to ask me out LOL.

    *REEE REEEE* weird door bell noise..my dogs went a bit ape shit.

    I go down to get the door, and the man standing there asks, "Are your parents home??"

    I gave him a blank stare and he said, "Oh...are you the adult in this house?"

    Then I shut my doot bc he was creeepy

    However I am 26, so that's a prettyy big compliment to me!!

    ^ LOL. I get phone calls all the time " Is your mommy home?"
    uhh...I am the head of this household. Can I help you?
    I guess I have a very young voice.

    I am 27, get carded constantly and have been harassed for having a fake ID. I honestly don't look underage though. Maybe 22ish?

    When I was younger, people generally guessed me to be 5-7 yrs older than I was. Now, at 24, people guess my real age. I just wanna look younger for once.

    Every now and then, I'll be out without makeup and wearing shitty clothes....then people will think I am 20. Most of the time though, people guess 25 and 26 and don't believe me when I say 23. Ugh.

    I always get younger and I love it. I'm turning 31 in August, I always get carded and some guys at work are even afraid to talk to me b/c they think I'm underage! And it never fails, within five minutes of talking to a guy I get the, "so how old are you??" spiel. Oh, and guys will even call me over to their table or ask me when I'm on stage b/c they have a bet going about how old I am. It happens outside of work too. I'm definitely not complaining!

    In the dark club I most often get 24-26. In real life I get around 28 or so. I get upset when strangers guess my real age....(34)

    Just so you know, when a guy "guesses" your age, you have to realize he is subtracting about 4 years from what he really thinks. All guys do this. They're usually hitting on you and/or don't want to be rude. They're sometimes smart like that. I'm 29 and usually get 23 in the club, which means they think I'm 26 or 27. That's fine with me. As long as they still think I'm hot.

    How on earth did your teacher get your parent's phone number? That's crazy.

    I'm 25 and I think I look 25. But, I'll have a bouncer or the clerk at the grocery store "quiz" me when they card me about once a month. My bf is 33 and his friends are mostly that age or older. They always joke that they only get carded at bars when I'm around. Haha.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    You know when I was in my late teens-early 20's ppl would assume older, even a mother. lol. Now that i'm 27, i've gotten 4-6 years younger.

    Shit is always reversed.

    Seriously! Not to mention it's downright rude and inappropriate. You are an adult! I can't believe your teacher had the gall to do that.

    last year i was carded for "being" 17, for trying to buy a lottery ticket of all things.

    i'm 38. boooyah!

    but the best was when i was picking up my 14-yr-old son from middle school one day and one of the nurses questioned whether or not they could release him into my custody.

    the 1st nurse whispers to the other: "doesn't he have to go back to the high school later?"

    the 2nd nurse: "no, no, that's MISTER smith."

    the 1st nurse: *jaw-gaping-open*

    double boooyah!

    Haha. Yep. I'm about 5'2. And I know exactly what you mean about people assuming you're naive/dumb/ignorant, etc. It's so frustrating!

    ETA: Maybe they think we haven't 'grown up' up cause we're short? lol

    No doubt! Only tall people are grownups! I used to have people telling me I'd 'finish my growing soon'. It stopped so I guess I look over 14 now!

    The best part is when I know some song at work and Joe Blow 25 year old tells me I'm too young to know GnR or whatever. I've stopped trying to insist I'm 31. Haha-dude I was walking you to the kindergarten line when this song came out.

    I'm 34. I get guessed as 24-25.

    The other day I dropped my kid off at school when a second grader asked me "Whose big sister are you?" I wanted to hug her.

    Somebody today told me I looked 24. I'm 36 so that was a huge compliment. But I really don't think I look 24, at least not up close. When I was a teenager I used to always get mistaken for being older.
