Sometimes businesses get a "ID push", that is, the manager will go round telling everyone to be extra careful about checking people's ID. A lot of pubs I've been to have a compulsory ID check. It doesn't matter what you look like, they check anyway. Rudeness shouldn't happen, but, really, being rude back never makes anything better.
Bet it spoilt your whole night, didn't it?
As for me, I look mid-twenties. It's ok, seeing as I am. My boyfriend, however, is often mistaken for a lecturer at his TAFE, not a student, due to his beard and widow's peak! I love watching when this happens
I look a year or so older then I am (16). But in China however.. I was there recently and they have no clue on how to tell a westerners age. I got into Disneyland at a lowered rate because I pretended to be 11, and got beer pretending to be 25.
I'm 18, nearly 19, I play senior grade football, every week I get people telling me to "go back to primary school" I've also had a few guys congratulate me because "it's great that a kid so young is already playing with the men..." Yeah I kinda don't have a choice...
I get ID'd every time I go anywhere, clubs, pubs, bottle'Os, oh as well as the fact that I often get ID'd when I go to see a MA15+ movie (not to mention R) and when I buy MA15+ games. I hate looking so young...

After i grew my hair out aparently i looked alot older, which is wierd because i thought that it would have had the reverse effect.
I still get asked for ID occasionally. Im 27. I dont even have that much of a baby face, especially when its covered in stubble. Unfortunately, this happens, and while it's annoying to be asked, they do have a duty when selling alcohol or tobacco products to ensure that they customer is of the legal age, the fines the seller can face, and the individual that serves underage people can be monstrous. Also, Im not sure about elsewhere in the world, but I do know that underage people are paid by the governing body specifically to catch people out.
I suppose it is a compliment, for me at least, to be asked, Id rather look 9-10 years younger that 9-10 years older ^^.

I have a 2 school mates that experienced the exact same thing(the only difference is that here the drinking age is over 18, now 21).dex-dex said:
I usually look my age(or an year older, I think), because I usually go unshaved in town(and man do I got a beard sometimes).
It varies a lot, usually I look 1-2 years younger (which is seriously annoying when that puts you below 15 years old, not letting you buy DVDs, games etc). But depending on hwat I wear I can look up to 17.
Look on the brightside.. When you turn 40.. you'll be looking like 30..
Thats my perspective on it, cause i have it the same way.. im 28, people say i look like 19-20..

It varies with me. Even though I'm 19 years old, people are genuinely surprised to discover that I'm not 23 or 25. It has it's advantages; When I was 17, I got into all sorts of clubs, because I looked 18 or 19 to the bouncers and bartenders. (18 is the minimum drinking age the Netherlands.)
It's always been a fun game to play with people I meet to see how surprised they're going to be about my age. I've also had several girlfriends in their mid-twenties because of "the looks".
As much fun I can have (and have had) with my 'older look', I seriously don't hope that by the time I turn thirty, that I wind up looking 45...

That's just rude of her to phrase it that way. She should've politely asked to see some ID to prove your age.dex-dex said:
As for your question, I'm frequently mistaken for someone older. I'm 17 and can get away with buying alcohol in most cases. People I talk to ask what my job is or what University I go to.
The one downside to this is that I generally attract older girls. Nothing wrong with that but then they think it's pretty odd when they inevitably find out how old I am. That sort of kills off any chances of anything happening and makes for a very awkward time.
But then again I'm six foot, usually taller if I wear some goth boots, and how many 17 year olds have Mohawks?
You should hope you look like a good looking, healthy 45 year old and not one who looks like a human train wreck.Snowpact said:
I'm 16, but I am often stopped on the street for surveys that require me to be at least 18 years old. Also, the last time I got a haircut the hairdresser asked what my work was; when I said I was still in school she asked what I was studying (As in in a university).
I think it's fun, but upon looking myself in the mirror in some mornings, when I have mysteriously aquired wrinkles (e.g. today), I begin to worry what I might look like when I turn 30.

I see lots of those running about in my area, actually.Cpt_Oblivious said:
And hey, if them women finding out about your 'true' age is killing any chances of anything happening, they're just stuck up. If they went that far already, they might as well give it a try.
Their loss.
Or not, as I don't really know you, and I'm not in the place to judge.
