Do you look your age?

Its depends upon the person who looks at Here is a good incident in my life Once i am standing at the bus-stop for my bus mean while one school girl approached me he called me as UNCLE and asked what is the time now? After few min one lady around 45 yrs old enquired about a route bus whether gone or not? she called me as "ABBAYE"(in India in TELUGU language it means teenage boy) where a college girl less than 20 yrs age asked about her college bus position she called me a "BABU" ( which means a boy less than 15 yrs) Of all at that incident I am working as a Lecturer in Degree college my age is Just completed 25 yrs Height is 5 feet 5 inch. Its a memorable incident, but i never feel bad but at that moment i decided not to feel bad regarding this in future

I can relate. Most people seem to think I appear far younger then I really am. Do you just let the people think what they will, or do you correct them and let them know your real age? Thanks for posting srini_the_creator.

I've always looked much younger than I am. But I understand how it can make for some akward (to say the least) situations like the one with your sister. I remember I was on a date with this one woman eating dinner at a resteraunt, when a very young (and pretty) waitress asked me if "my mother and I were ready to order," or something to that effect. The rest of the evening was not a pleasant one.

Oh darn, i've done it again. Brain not connected to fingers today! I forgot to say that when I was in my late 20's a local politician came door knockin in our village. I opened the door to see him standing there and he asked me if my mother was at home. I creased up laughing and he couldn't understand why! He was a rather pompous man and needless to say I didn't vote for him! lol

You're welcome - good discussion my friend! ;)

That would have to hurt being mistaken for your husbands Mother. I would probably be upset too. I've also had people come to door the ask to speak to my parents about magazine or newspaper subscriptions or candy they are selling. I kind of chuckle and tell them they are not at home. It's a convienent excuse. :) Thanks for posting feralwoman.

People have never guessed my aged correctly. I'm not sure how I would handle it if they did. Thanks for commenting.

That's so funny. I've seen some girls where the reverse is true. When I went back to college about 5 years ago I was performing in the choir at a concert. One of the women who was in the choir was with this stunning girl, who I was thinking I would just have to meet. Long story short, my friend introduced me to her as her 15 year old daughter. I felt low and could understand how some men could get in trouble dateing underage women and not even know it.

LOL. That made me laugh filmbuff! :)

This discussion came up recently at a family gathering and a female cousin mentioned that men look better as they age. If they turn grey they are still considered sexy and often get that "Sean Connery" look. She went on to say that women on the other hand looked worse and became less desireable. It's kind've strange...

I used to lie about my age a lot. Usually letting people think that I was in my early twenties because I had hopes of getting a deal with a major record label. They will not give someone my age a deal unless I look and claim to be much younger than I am. I've given up on major labels, I'm just going to do it myself. :) I think that maybe looking younger for women is probably a good thing. Do you think woman are more concerned with ageing than men, or at least at how old they look?

Well, at least you had a good reason for lying, but even then, you know it's not the best way, right? Of course sooner or later people would find out you were lying. And yes, we women are way more concerned about age than you. I know some men actually like older women, but only a few. And I fear aging a lot. I mean, I think I fear looking old, not aging by itself.

Thanks for sharing banta78.

I'm in the same boat soulist. Perhaps it will be good as we get much older. It's kind've a pain though now, I feel for you.

Much like you I look far younger than I am, and people are generally surprised when I tell them my real age. It's kind've nice to considered to be younger than I am, but presenting ID for common things gets a little boring after a while. Thanks for posting.

I kind've feel that way too, I just wish they would stop asking me for ID everytime I try to buy smokes. :) Thanks for sharing skydancer.

I believe it, I'm in my middle 30's and get confused for being a teenager quite often. It is kind of nice to look young, but I find that I don't always get the respect that I should if I'm shopping, banking etc.

Ment to say 40 not 400..lol but I feel like I'am 400

It's kind've hard to tell from that picture.

Has looking older allowed you to do things that you wern't supposed to, or legally allowed to do? Do you like looking older than your real age?

I never really thought about it before, but I guess that I dress younger than my age most the time also. It's very rare you will see me in a suit, since I favor the jeans/t-shirt look most of the time as well. Still though even while dressing business casual (slacks, dress shirt) I'm consistantly told that I look younger. Thanks for posting melanie652.

I bet you carry your I.D. with you now most of the time, I know that I do for the same reasons. Thanks for commenting.

I bet that didn't go over too well with her! You probably got a nice little chuckle out of it. Thanks for sharing jwfarrimond.

Ouch, being mistaken as a sister of your mother would be painful. I have a relative and when he is out with his Mom many people think they are married. That has to hurt. Thanks for commenting breepeace.

Still that's only a years difference. Being a year old than your friends and schoolmates can be kind've of cool at times because you can get into movies and drive sooner. Thanks for posting carryli.
