I am just being curious on how do you look at yourself? Are you older, younger or just the same as with your age?I know many of you will say that you are younger than your age.lol.With me, not for being boastful, many people says that i look younger than my age. I am already 23 years old now. Other says I look like just 20 years old. Other says i am childish.For me, the only secret that you can do is to keep young is just keep on smiling. I find it very effective to me.lol.What about you? How do others look at you?are you younger,older or just the same as your age?

I turned 25 last month and I think that I look pretty close to my age, even though I feel way older! If I'm dressed for work I think I may look a little older but if we're going out and I'm dressed up and wearing make up I think I look a little younger, I still get ID'd a lot. We were actually out at a pub during the summer time and we saw some guys from high school that I hadn't seen since. One actually told me that I look younger now than I did then!

putting some make ups is a big help for you to look young.

I'm the opposite. I look much younger when I don't have any makeup on my face. For instance, I'm 32 and might look more like 23 without makeup on. With makeup I might appear to be closer to 28 years old. But, I assume this will be different for each and every person.

OMG!!! People think I'm like thirteen and stuff. The truth is I'm about to turn 17 in January. I still hear people calling me small man that's another word for little man. That sucks. Last night I was hanging out with my friend and she said that there was no way I would be able to get into a bar and that they would recognize me upon entering. This is weird because a lot of 16 year old teens go to clubs and they look very old. I guess it's because of my way of thinking. Even though I may no a good bit of things. I still hang out with my little friends and cousins sometimes and I love to play with kids so that's probably why.

I do not think that I look young for my age. I think that I look my age. But I do have to say that I feel a heck of alot older than I actually am. I think it might have to do with raising 8 kids. It sure takes alot out of you and I think also that this is why I look my age. I do not feel that I need to look younger or anything. I am happy with how I look.

I'm a 32 year old female who gets told often that I look much younger than my real age. I think you just need to take care of yourself and make sure you have fun in life. Life is short and you must live each day to the fullest potential. Life is beautiful and aging is beautiful too.

I have been told by several I look younger than my age. I guess I must because my husband is only nine months older than me and has been told several times that he looks quite a bit older than me. Guess that is good for me. :)

I look a lot younger than my age. I have a toddler and have gotten dirty looks from people thinking that I am too young. People have actually said thengs to me. I think it is funny beacuse Iknow how old I am....30something. Something just because i play along, gives me something to laugh about later on :)

I think that is hilarious. People probably think you're an unwed teen. I've had it happen a few times too, a few years ago when my children were younger. It IS fun to laugh at later. To me, it's kinda flattering too.

I am 58 and I have been told I look younger than my age. I always have a smile on my face and love to say hi to everyone. Also I have been told I should act my age. I just looked at the person and made mention if you can tell me what a person my age is supposed to act like I might. Than again I might not. I love to kid around and tease people. So I just go along my merry way and act the way I want to whether it meets the standards of what people think I should act like.

Like everyone else, I would like to think that I look younger than I really am. Unfortunately I am a very cheerful person. I love gesticulating and that produces wrinckles. Possibly I will feel depressed in a few years, but I am not going to change my character. I prefer looking a bit older than spending my life inexpressive as a statue. Giving smiles to our loves ones is worth the cost.

Well I look younger than my age. When I ride to some utility vehicles I got discounts from my fares because they thought I am still a student. That is 5 years younger than my age now.LOL... I am flattered hearing people saying I am younger than my age. I guess beauty rest and having inborn beauty can really tell.giggling! Plus living a happy and healthy life helps. Always smile!

I've been told I look younger. Whenever I tell people I'm 21 years old, about 90% of them are shocked. Most people think I'm still about 18 years old. When I use to work in retail, during the week whenever people would come in they'd ask me why i wasn't in school. Ah. But I suppose it will be a good thing for later in my life.

When I was in my 40's, my live in boyfriend and I went to a motel for the night because we were having our bedroom painted and the guy at the motel wouldn't let us in because I couldn't prove my age! He thought I was around 16 and he thought my boyfriend was in his 60's (a child molester or a pervert)! I was 43 and my boyfriend was 54 at the time with gray hair and I color my hair blond and wear it straight with bridged bangs so no wonder he thought I was a kid. My boyfriend got mad because I didn't bother to bring my ID, well who would of thought I'd need my ID at 43! Now I am 58 and no one even bothers to ask for my ID, instead they say things like: Mam, mam, seniors get a discount, or would you like a senior coffee with that? I'm trying to figure out if I really look that old or if it is my hair style making me look old. My hair now is cut short and is it's natural color of brown.

Hello rberon. I look younger than my age. Im 26 years old but a lot of people mistake me for being 19, 20 or 21. Never near my age. I even act childish so people would be surprised when I reveal to them my real age.

It's quite flattering when people say I look younger than my age. I had this experience in a hospital where my mother got admitted recently. There are papers that need signing up, the nurse brought them to me so I said I'll sign. She looks at me then asked my age. I told her I'm 27 and she's like, what? I thought your younger than 18? LOL. I'm simply lucky that I don't look older than my real age.

I do look younger than my age. No one ever gets my right age during guessing games. They often took me as someone in his early thirties though I just turned 36 last December. There are problems though in looking young and being a small man. When I was still involved in conducting trainings/seminars in coastal areas, I have to grow mustache and beard to make the participants believe that I am old enough to teach and learn with them.

If i dress down and don't wear any make-up, I'd look definitely younger than my age. A lot of people also tell me the same thing.
