Do you look older or younger than you are?

[Berithil]

Younger. So much so that I got pulled over while driving because I looked like an underage driver :/

I'm 19 by the way...

 

[Vanorae]

While I was out in the city today I got approached by two charity workers that clearly assumed I was older than 18. While I´m actually I´m 17. One flat out didn´t believe me so I think due to my height I look older than I actually am.

 

[cerealnmuffin]

I get told that I look around 23-26ish when I actually turned 30 recently. I usually tell people I'm 28 and even that they are shocked how young I look.

Well when I was 16-17 people still confused me with a 10-12 year old which was irritating at best, I used to be really short and I do have kind off a kid face because my skin is really soft and have very soft features, though fortunately when I became 18 I must have swallowed a red mushroom since before I got to 19 I was already 1.8 m tall, and now I'm 1.92, which is pretty tall, though people still think I'm 17 or something since last time I went to a job interview when the interviewer asked for my age and I said 21 she said, "Thank God because we don't hire teenagers", and everybody thinks I'm the youngest of my brothers, but that's always been like that, I do look a little odd because I have a couple of scars, a permanently bored expression on my face and have this strange yellowish skin tone.

Friday night at the movie theater, my girlfriend and I got carded for an R rated movie. I'm 25 and she is 30. Apparently one or both of us did not appear to be over 17.

 

[GTwander]

Almost 30 and I still get carded for booze and smokes.
~and *not* because of 'procedure'. They check my ID and go "holy shit, you were born in 83'?".

Then I reply with "Yeah, I'm young enough looking to get your daughter knocked up, then we will see who is talking shit".

When I was 15-16, people thought I was 18-20.
And now that I'm 26, people are still placing me at around 20.
If I shaved off my beard, they'd likely place me in the teens again.
That's why I will never be beardless again.
My features are too feminine.

 

[Dragoon]

I'm almost 19 yet I look like I'm about 14, I get carded for absolutely everything age restricted even 15 rated games/movies. The look of disbelief when I hand over my ID is priceless though.

 

[VeryOddGamer]

Probably older, since I'm just 14, mainly because I'm a pretty tall bloke and I wear hats.
Because hats are cool.

 

[hazabaza1]

I usually tell people I'm 28

Mind if I ask why?
That seems a bit weird.

OT: I've always looked young. 18 right now and I'd probably say I look 15 or 16. 15 or 16 I looked about 12 or 13. Sadly, the pitch of my voice seems to be following the habits of my appearance.
Bit of a bugger in school.

Are you "Dobby" from Peep Show?

 

[miketehmage]

I'm 19 and I look younger I think, my facial hair grows in super slowly so i just shave it because I don't want to sit in the shitty looking transition stage of clean shaven to bearded for weeks on end.

I don't really care if I get ID'd though, most places round here are challenge 25 anyway.

 

[Odbarc]

People keep thinking I'm a student so I guess younger?
A co-worker once guessed my age 4 years younger than I am, almost 28.
No wrinkles, no greys. Yet? When does that start even?

 

[The Funslinger]

I'm seventeen, and until I got my provisional driver's license, it was a toss up trying to buy a 15 rated game.

Sometime between your kid's "terrible twos" and "nail-in-the-coffin teens"

 

[Esotera]

I no longer get asked for ID when buying alcohol, so either shop assistants are terrified of me or I look over 25. I'm 20 but it isn't something that bothers me, I'm in good shape and feel healthy, and at least I don't have to produce ID all the time.

 

[Sleepy Sol]

I'm 17, but I think people could mistake me for a middle schooler or a high school freshman.

Just started my senior year of high school for clarification.

 

[Athinira]

It depends on whether or not i shave myself. If i shave myself, people tend to guess 2-4 years below. If i don't shave, they tend to be pretty spot on (+/- one year) most of the time. I'm 24 (turning 25 soon).

Not sure if the below pictures are the most unbiased representations though )

Spoiler: Shaved

Spoiler: Unshaved

[Palademon]

With a beard, older.
Without a beard, younger.
