Anyone else here look super young for their age? Do you like it, hate it, coming to terms with it? How old do people think you usually are and what's the youngest age someone accused you of?

Does it fit your fashion aesthetic? How's dating going or marriage? Talk about all that good stuff and stories here!!

I have Asian genes so when I turn like 80 I'll look 1,000, but right now im 27 and am always told I look 17-23. I'm vain and hate growing up so I always take it as a compliment (in American culture it's hard to age as a woman and still be considered attractive and not a weird fetish like milfs). It doesn't fit one part of my aesthetic, but that's ok, I still engage in it anyway.
When I get approached by men, it's usually men thinking I'm as old as they are, which is usually between 21-26.
The only interestingly creepy thing to come of this was when I worked as a sales associate and got hit up 3 times to do porn. I'm not hot/stacked, I think they were just looking for the "barely legal" girl next door.

OP which is it.
Also no, I pretty much look like I'm 24, but my classmates were legit shocked when I told them that because apparently they believed I was 21-22, and I don't think they were just being polite because three of them were 21, 24 and 25 themselves.
I don't know what I think tbh. I think I look my age.

It's your penance for having that perfect, thick, silky hair.

No. 86033

I find that people who think or do look younger then their age have a tendency to humble brag about it. Like talking about how they had to show their ID when buying alcohol but clearly enjoying that people think they're younger then they actually are.

As for myself I pretty much look my age. So nothing special really.

No. 86034

i look the same as my age/ people have told me i look a few years older
i have like zero fat in my face where it should be (e.g. around eyes) and i always get a SHIT TON of creases around my mouth/jaw when i smile. making me look like a 35yo fatty. fuck.

No. 86043

I'm almost 21 and I've been told that many, many times that I look like I'm 14. The number used to be 12, but now my hair is short and I've lost a few pounds, so I guess that makes me look a -little- older.
Honestly, I really hate it. It doesn't help that a lot of the high school kids in my area look SO much older than me, so when I talk to a guy and I find out he's 16 and I'm 20, I get mega-creeped out and gotta get the hell out of that situation.

anon quit being dumb. "older than you look" = your actual age is older than your face appears to be = "anyone else here look super young for their age?"

anyway, I'm not sure. I think I look around my age. I'm getting the feeling that people assume that I am a young looking older age though. I'm 22 and when I was 19 I had people think I was 23 or 24 but just looked young. I suppose my personality can be misconstrued sometimes as being more "mature".

I agree with >>86033 about the humblebrag tendency. Where I'm at ID is a standard procedure, and if you're not a regular at the liquor store not being carded could possibly be an insult. idk

No. 86045

I'm 24 and get 16-20 usually.

Of course I love it. Honestly I try hard as fuck to look younger than I am and my skincare regime is borderline obsessive. Plus I dress j-fashion-y and I just don't think that mature faces suit the style.

I've noticed that my nasolabial folds have been looking slightly more prominent lately so it might be time for some fillers.

Fuck Caucasian genes, seriously.

No. 86046

Yessss. I have a round, fat baby face like Venus. I'm 23, but have gotten told I look 15 for years. By everyone I get in a conversation with. It sucks when I buy alcohol because I get dirty looks and accused of having a fake I.D., but I like it the rest of the time, I guess.

Same thing. Everyone thinks I'm at the very oldest 18 in a work setting only because it's impossible to work at my job below that age, but I'm 21. When I was a teenager everyone thought I was much older from my maturity. Or I was being groomed kek.

And there's really no ~humble bragging~ about it. I'm never taken seriously and often spoken to in a baby voice by older men. I don't have the personality to match my looks, it's gross to me that I'm patronized.

No, it alright! I was scared I was just saying it wrong this entire time. Good luck with you exams Anon!!

I have a combination of baby face, shortness, and high pitched voice. When I came to America for university I used that opportunity to change myself.

I cut my hair (it was waist length at the time) and started to wear makeup that entire semester everyday. I even wore more mature women clothing. Two weeks into spring semester when I thought everything was working, a classmate talked to me because of my accent and wanted to know more. She added "Wow your parents must be so proud you graduating so early and coming to america all on your own!" She assumed I was 16-17 and had graduated school early. After that I think I just stopped trying to appear older.

Pretty much this.

Anyways, I do get told I look younger than what I am pretty often. It gets really freaking weird whenever I'm out with my stepson, who is 18, and people think we're together. I'm 31 for reference. Yes, I know I'm too old to be on a gossip site.

I'm 31 and some kid tried to hit on me. He thought I'd be around his age 19/20 years old. I laughed at his shocked face, it was funny.

It sucks for some things but at least the reactions people have never cease to amuse me.

This seems like a suitable thread to bitch about tonight
I started talking to some younger guy on the way home who was trying to get me to come on a night out with him. He didn't believe I was as as old as I am and I guess i should have just gone home ASAP but I was enjoying talking to him about normal work stuff. At the end of my night when I said I was going home he said I was just leading him on and called me bitch.
I feel really upset , I thought we were having a nice chat. Yet at the same time I get it, fair enough don't expect little kids to not be little bitches and it's all my fault.ugh.

No. 86733

Oh man, i'm 27 (not really old) but I am always told I look round 16. With clothing it's been hard because I want to dress more adult like, but I tend to dress more like my early 20's (sure it doesn't matter). My bf turned 21 this past Christmas lol. Best guy I have ever been with though even though we have a decent age gap.

No. 86827

The one thing that bothers me is the lack of respect in the workplace. Even after finding out you're older they still treat you like a child or some defenseless animal because you look young.

I didn't mind the endearing names at first because I mostly got called sweety by customers or coworkers old enough to be my grandmother (so I found it nice). Then the male coworkers started saying angel and pumpkin. Which is annoying because I'm assistant a manger, like you shouldn't be calling me those names.

Same thing happens to me. I'm a manager at my workplace but I still get treated like a little girl. It's really annoying and I feel like I just don't get respected at all. People go to a different coworker to ask questions on something that's all in my department and she can't do shit about it anyways. They ask her though because she looks older than me, even though she's only a year older.

I just talked to them about it this tuesday to "my" manager and he handled it for me. Still it shouldn't take all of that to get respect.

I don't hate that I look young, I mean in 15 years it will be a blessing right? I just hate the lack of respect and being talked down to all the time. I know it can't be helped with strangers but I refuse to take that shit at work.

this is so true. My bf and I both look younger wich is usually fun. We once had someone asking my mom if we were of legal age….we're both 30…
But at work, we have higher function jobs but often get treated as little brats who just started their first job so gaining authority is a problem.
We're also appartment owners but the older home owners living in our building act like they're our parents and they need to keep an eye out for us.

They have to card everyone who looks vaguely under 30, you're not special you haggard harpies.

You need to spend less time rhapsodising over how a bored shop clerk cards you and more time applying a moisturising sunscreen.

Most women in this thread probably look their age. It's an empty compliment to say you look younger than you are. It's your go-to compliment especially made by servers and cashiers to comply with carding issues. "oh could I see your ID you look sooo young!"

I get that some of you legit look younger than your age but for most people that isn't true.
Mostly you just have selective memories. Sometimes people thought you were younger, but I'm sure people thought you were older or exactly your age tons of times too.

I think it's pretty sickening how obsessed all of you are with youth. And that that is just the tip of the iceberg, is this really what we are aiming for? Besides, looking young isn't always better.

Idk, I've been attracted to teenage girls at the same rate ever since I was attracted to girls.

It kind of makes me wonder if there's some sort of elaborate troll going on here or if it's actually normal for that attraction to go away when you get older. It makes no sense, like am I supposed to suddenly become revolted at the memories of getting to second base with my girlfriend when we were 15 the moment I turned 18? No, she was fucking sexy and that's not going to change just because I got older.

No one's saying you are. The way you worded it made it sound you were going to hit up a middle school and use "it's just male nature" as an excuse to harass them. I find way younger pics of bf attractive too, and he's in the barely legal category.
