Not looking your age?

Well, at a bar in my hometown, the bartender once asked me if I'd like a beer or some wine... that was when I was 14, mind you.
But that's just the most prominent example I can think of right now. I've had this nice rugged facial hair since I was about 13 and 1/2. It made for... interesting moments at college parties with my sister.
But with those genetics, aging the way I am, that probably means I'll die at 40 or something, lol.

When I was 16 I'd been told that I looked older. Wasn't given an age but just that I looked older. Now that I'm 26 my age has been guessed as being as low as 16 and as high as 24. Even people that I work with and know my age have a hard time believing it. In fact I look back at my old student ID from when I started college and think that I looked way younger than I was. At this point I just take it in stride. It's funny to see peoples faces when they find out how old I really am.
Whenever I go to a certain restaurant with my parents the waiter gives me crayons.
... I have a mustache

Hah, I remember once I got into a movie under a child ticket when I was seventeen. Other then that one time I don't see it often unless I have just recently shaved.
I'm 19 but I look like I'm 15 or 16, I'm sure it will be nice when I'm in my thirties and people will think I'm in my twenties so no complaints.
Some guys at the careers expo thought I was 14, I'm almost 17. I think that might be the reason taht they are working full time at Hungry Jack's in their mid 20's.
A mate of mine couldn't get into Kick-Ass because they said he didn't look 15 and he left his ID at home, he turned 18 in 9 days time. He copped a bit of stick for that.
Some of my mates that left school to become tradies have been buying booze on looks since they were 15, lucky bastards.

You guys could work that to your advantage.CmRet said:
Wait isn't this a rhetorical question; i.e. don't answer it cos if you answer it incorrectly you get punched in the face ;-)Paksenarrion said:
Other examples are "Does this make me look fat?" and "Do you know why I'm angry at you?"
I get mistaken for 27 a lot. I haven't been that age in six years. My wife makes me have facial hair so I at least look older.
I went to a party last friday and two people were talking to me a few minutes before I decided to leave and they commented on my stubble(I had shaved that morning but by evening it's, you know, the ol' 7 o'clock shadow) and anyway, they commented how they couldn't tell if I was 19 like I said I was or if I could go all the way to 26(which is laughable and probably hyperbole on their part but I wouldn't doubt aroundabout 22 wouldn't be too uncommon for someone to judge me)
Wait, they were drunk... SO nevermind then. Drunk people think I look older than I do, sober people generally dont' talk about my age.

I'm turning 21 this year and people think I'm 16 or something... And the worst thing is, they treat me like it, you know, just the little things that piss me off. So, I've been done with High School about 4 years now (European, it's different system), but to go to the college I wanted to, I had to get my Science at High School level, so I did, at a school with people that have flunked they finals and are 17 or 18... People actually asked me if I had skipped a class... Grrr.
I have to pull out my drivers licence as an ID cause people just never believe me... I mean, It's flattering to look younger when you've passed 25, but not when your 21 and people treat you like you're twelve...

I've been asked to show ID once at a liquor store, though to be honest I was trying to buy a specific type of drink and wasn't entirely sure what it was or what it looked like. So naturaly I came across as a nervous 16 year old.
Apart from that one incident I think most people are more or less spot on when they have to guess my age. That said, I supposedly look younger if I let my hair grow a bit longer, as in 10cm. (I normally go for the army style buzcut.... least that's what I think it's called).
