Hi do you look your age many people say that I do not look my age this is an advantage to me as I am 55 years old and every birthday when I go out to celebrate my birthday people many times say you do not look that old which is a great compliment to me, do you get people saying this to you??

I had the best compliment ever from my doctor. I had not seen her for 8 months and went to see her for a minor problem, she had not seen me since my serious accident and she asked me if a I had a face lift naturally I thought she was joking but during the examination she stared at my face and looked behind my ears. I asked her what was wrong and she said she was just checking to see if I'd had really had a face lift. I am still on cloud nine.

I used to have people tell me that i was like 5 years younger then i really was. If gives you a nice feeling but over the past few years people have been getting closer to my real age. I think it just depends on how you dress and look on different days. I guess it all depends on how well you look after your body. the better you look after yourself the better you look.

I get the same compliments although I am only 26. I still pass for 21 or 22-I love it! And then when people find out I am a mother of 2 kids-ages 7 and 4 they say wait a minute....LOL I have my height to credi that too. I am only 5'1" and I think people think I should be taller? When I was in high school I always looked younger than my friends and I hated it!! I am thankful for my youthful looks now though. God has blessed me :)

I have always looked younger than my age which is great but it has a downside.I remember when I was 25 I was pregnant with my second child (I already had a 2 yr old)anyway,I went to the local shops and a woman asked me if I was babysitting.I replied no this is my daughter and I am pregnant with my second child.This silly woman went off at me going on about pregnant unwed teen-agers.I had been married for 5 years and no matter how much I protested telling her I was 25 and had been married for 5 years,she flat out called me a liar.Stupid woman!!

I'm 38 and I'm still taken for being around 20 if not younger. It really irritates my sister because so often everyone thinks she's my mother and she's only 7 years older then me. Normally I don't mind but when I get carded for "R" rated movies it does bug me a bit.

I just turned 55 last week. I do not feel or look my age. It is always nice to still get carded at my age! Course my long blonde tresses may help with that.

I think that I look near enough to my age which is actually 56 years YOUNG but at the same time that doesn't worry me either. Every grey hair, wrinkle and line I have earned the hard way, and so they are a bit like a "badge of honour". Looks are immaterial as far as I am concerned, because it is what is inside the person that counts rather than their external appearance. I have known people who are still young in age, i.e. in their 20's and 30's who would definately be considered old, but others who are in their 80's and 90's who are still young. They might look their biological age but their attitude is what makes them old or young.

everything happened very soon in my life,i started working wen i was in 12th grade.its abou to b 3 years now.i m jus 20.which ever company i join i tend to be the youngest 1 there,so most pampered.by grace of God i have a very kiddish sweet voice which adds to it more. i feel bad wen people around at time tease me but still i have learned to live with it.i take it in a gud way now,& feel special.yet at times wanna b little elder in age though i am much more maturer comparitive to my age.i try dressing up evryway which helps me to feel & show that i m more than 20.again my voice spoils the entire show & its more worse wen people get to know abou my age.may b coz most of people around at married,physically matured-not mentally.coz life is all abou giving respect & taking respct.but still i feel proud to b here at the same position in which people more than 40yrs r wrkin.bingo!!!!!!!!
