Do you look your age?
People have been realizing the difference between calender age and biological age.
People who live with a healthy life, happily living with their family, have regularly attending community activities tend to look younger and more dynamic than people who always stressed out at work, live a lone, think a lot and seldom go out.
We do grow older everyday, the question is, do you look older than your age, or people always thought you look younger?

People say I look younger than I really am. But I can let them think I am older than I really am after I start speaking lol. :P
Age is very subjective. I have had middle aged aunties called me xiao di di, and old 60 yr old aunties called me uncle.
Go figure lol.

Wizard often looks old.
I think auntie just being flirty to call you xiao di di to make you happy. 60's old auntie not interested in you, thus, they are being honest to call you as who you are.
You don't mind me teasing, do you?

I did not lie my age when somebody ask me but my physical appearance hide my age. I am going to 31 this wednesday but you know they said i look like 20`s and thats interesting. When i was a store buying something somebody follow me and ask my name if its ok to be friends. I smiled to him and i did not tell my name. I told him i am already married and i show him my wedding ring. Even when i was in collge lots of my friends did not believe that my age like that. I have lots of young admirers oh my i dont know why but my physical beautyhide my age and thats amazing.

I'm 64 and I would say that I do look my age. But yes, we may look younger if we can afford. If we can get out of tension because we have a united family and have sufficient money to make both ends meet and still have extras for extras, etc. and if we can afford the finer things in life as they say.

i'm 27 now, an other people always say that i'm only 16, especially when i'm going to other places where people oesn't really know me...
i got married when i was 23 and my husband was about 25 years of age.. during our counseling and our interview with the officiating priest in our wedding, doesn't really believe that we're 23 and 25 that time.. to prove to him that we are really in that age, we let him check our birth certificates... he thought, we were just 15 years old...
another thing is that, one time.. when i'm already in college, we are going to watch a movie with my boyfriend and it was rate 18.. they didn't let us in because they sai we look like 13 years old, what my boyfriend did was, he took out his ID and so did I, then, after checking our ID, they let us in.... hehehe...

Cool.
My mum looks young because of the complexion of her skin. She has very fair complexion with natural pinkish cheek which made her look young. She's 50 now but looks like 40's. I think the weather and living culture in Japan really helps to make her look younger.
I wish I would inheritate that.

I am forty two years old. I probably do look every bit of my age. I lived a hard and fast youth and we all have to pay the piper some time. I am not in the best of health but that doesn't stop me from doing anything I want to do. We are all getting older and some of us are getting better. I have always said and tryly believe beauty is only skin deep. There is no need to worry about your age because it will always be there. Embrase life and your age and just live. Some say I look younger than my age, some say I look older, some say that I am just fine. I say I am forty two and proud of it.

People prompt to forgiving because of the younger age and inexperience.Thus, it's really good to look younger and innocent.

It might be the family trait and might be the eating habbits or food intake that your family taking regularly.

I'm 19, so thankfully I don't have to worry too much about looking my age... which is a good thing, because i do not really live the healthiest of lifestyles as i should.
My problem is that I've always looked younger than I actually am - I think it's because of my chubby cheeks! So I always have to carry ID with me if i go to a bar or something, but if I stay looking younger than I actually am then I'm sure I'll be greatful for it one day!

Most people that I know said I look younger then my actual age. Probably that's why most of the people that falls for me are younger then me :P
Well I hope my look stay 25 always I which I think is the most beautiful and attractive era), even with my increasing age-hehe of course I know it won't really happen even with unlimited supply of botox :P
But Frankly, I don't really mind to look my age as long as stay healthy and happy.
Cheer
