Age

Maizey06

I have realized that I am getting carded less and less when I buy alcohol at the store.  

I am 35 but I guess I do not feel I look 35, but I am probably just in denial that I actually look my age.

How old are you and how old do you think you look?

MeredithML

I am 25 and I look 17. I have never not been carded and I get a number of "is he yours" when I go out with DS. That may be because he looks nothing like me though. Lol

chefnicole22

I'm 24, but look 17 or 18. People always think I'm still in high school.

PaisleyRuth

I'm 31. I guess I look about that, or upper 20s. I don't think I look older or significantly younger. My sister is almost 34 and everyone, without fail, thinks she's younger than me. She looks 17.

rp-chicago-mom

I'm 34. I probably look 34.

DoctorsWifey

I'm 25, I don't know how "old" I look but I get carded; not all the time but a lot of the time. I get carded for alcohol (I don't really drink, but gotta be 21 to get in the bars) I also get carded to buy lottery tickets, so apparently I don't even look 18 to some. 

jodegaard

I'm 24. I've been mistaken for a high schooler. I probably look to be around 19 or 20.

I just turned 36. I am not sure how old I look, but I do get carded on occasion. My Mom looks 10 years younger than she is, so I think I have good genes. That and being adamant about wearing sunscreen every day has kept wrinkles away so far!

bigbootyjudi

I'm 24, people always tell me I look like I'm 20.

Whatever. My mom is 42 and you would never know it. Good genes run in the family!

SJandVA

I'm 35 too. I certainly don't feel like it though. I think I look a little younger. But ever since having kids I started getting gray hair. My trips to get highlights have turned to a necessity instead of for fun.
I don't get carded at restaurants. But that only started happening since DD2 was born and now have 2 kids in tow.

Megispreg

I'm 30. I think I look a little younger. I usually get carded. Once a realtor knocked on my door, and asked if my parents were interested in selling the house! Lol.

NeneCakies

I'm 35, well, 36 in a few weeks! I always get asked if I'm in school (college). I don't know if I really look 22ish or if that's just a routine question new acquaintances ask. I usually get carded unless I'm with work people (old guys) though. My maternal grandmother was a GILF at 88 so we age well!!

amaite

I have no idea how old I look, and I am HORRIBLE at guessing people's ages.
In general, people think I look younger than I am, but one of my sister's friends asked me upon meeting me if I was her mother. My sister is 4 years younger than I.

fastcarsandfreedom3319

I am 27 but I think I look like early twenties. I still get carded most of the time, and I've had several people comment that DS looks like he could be my little brother.

tumblefluff

I'm 32.  I look like I'm in my early 20s.  I get carded all the time.  Once I was carded for the same drink 3 times.  I was even asked for a second form of ID.  My mom is 65 but looks like she's in her mid-50s.  Good genes I guess.

Mrs. Rohde

I'm 30 and I look like I'm in my mid twenties. Ever since having O I haven't been carded but I used to get carded all the time! I remember once when i was 23 I was carded before I was allowed to buy tickets for a rated R movie.That was so funny!
My mom is 52 and looks 10 years younger so I have good genes on my side for sure

ks3pink

I'm 25 and look close to my age at this point. I feel more like 35 though.

rp-chicago-mom

My mom looks old (65) but I blame her bad choices rather than genes.

Whoa, did you see I wrote jeans first?

JayandEmm

I'm 27, and I know I look way younger. When I was pregnant, the lady at Motherhood Maternity thought I was a teen mom.

lady_tytah

I'm going on 27, on Oct 6th....Woop Woop Libras!!! <:-P
I guess I look in my mid 20s because no one cards me. I've always looks mature for my age though so, eh. I was the one kid my crew who could pick up older guys (30-40s). I just hope when I get to my mid 30s/40s. I slow down lol.....maybe when I loose the weight it'll help.

AmySmolos

I'm 31 and I'm always told I look young. I'd say early to mid 20's. but I think I look close to my age. I'm not carded nearly enough anymore.

CrazyDaisy8

I am 26 and I think I look about that age.

i think a lot of us are told we look younger more often only bc no one is going to tell you that you look older! so i think in reality i prob look my age... I'm 30.

Don't rain on everyone's parade! :-$

vvvvvfee

i'm 30 but evidently look about 15 (at least before i had a kid, now i probably look so tired that i actually look my age :S).

i have many, many stories. just a sampling-- when i was in my 20s, i got the kid's menu once at chili's and another time i got charged for child admission at an ice skating rink. a cashier in walmart said i didn't look old enough to have a credit card. and when i was pregnant, a random lady in target asked if i was "going to have the baby before school started"-- WTF!! i wish i had thought of a good retort for that one.

and apparently we're passing on a double dose of those young-looking genes to our son, because my husband gets the same thing. a couple of years ago some cable rep was going around door to door trying to get people to sign up, and when DH answered the door, the guy asked if his parents were home.

brandyleighxx

29 in a month. I always thought I looked younger than I am until recently. Think I'm catching up, boo hoo. I think people my age or younger probably feel I look like my age but older people think I look younger, does that make sense? I get carded by people older than  me but not by young cashiers.

I'm 34. I probably look 34.

This, but with 36. Although when Kate & I tagged along to look at a condo last week with my mom that she was thinking of purchasing, the realtor thought I was a teen mom living with my mom. She asked me about my college plans.

zbeesma86

I'm 27 and people say I look like I'm 18... I'm like thanks?

I'm always carded..

DH gets carded! And he's 34!

WhtRssnGrl

I'm 34 and I think I look my age.  I hope I look like I do now when I'm 44.  My mom is 60 and looks like she's in her early fifties, so I hope I get her genes.

BatDaughter4Eva

I'm 22. I'm always told that I look 24-26. Personally, I think I look my age. I rarely get carded.

piphigirl

I am 30.  Being freckle-faced makes me look a lot younger.

Toni79

Ummm ... I've started to loose count!  LOL!  Oh yeh, I'm 33 ... will be 34 in a month.  I don't know how old I look.  I guess about late 20's early 30's.  I don't go to bars or buy stuff where I'd need my ID very often, so I don't know if I'd get carded. 

When I was in my early to mid 20's I definatly got alot of people thinking I was in HS.  When I was 25 I was a sub for a few months at a few local high schools.  On more than one occassion I would be on "hall monitor duty" and would have teachers approach me and tell me to get back to class.  I'd have to tell them I was a sub!  LOL!

Around that same time, I had a few comments from employers when I'd go in for an interview.  They'd say things like "oh, with looking at your resume and the things you've accomplished (grad school), I thought you'd be older".  I'd have to say, we'll I'm 25!

Also, this is random ,,, but when I was 18 I got carded going to a PG-13 movie.  That really confused me because what 13 year olds have an ID with their date of birth on it?!?!?!?

I definatly get people thinking I'm younger when I'm thinner.  I'm sure when (and if) I loose these last 25 IVF lbs, that will take a few years off me!  LOL!

twoitalians

I'm 29 and this kid has made me look more and more my age. People used to think I was younger than I am. I still get carded though.

VeniVidiScripsi

I'm almost(ish) 27 (December). I never get carded, haven't for a few years. A lot of people think I'm older than that. I'm hoping it's my maturity and not my looks lol

RNbock2

I am 28, and I think I must look 18? I am very short (4'9), and I guess I have a baby face. A couple of years ago someone at target thought DH was my dad....yeah, awkward! I get carded all the time, and given kids menus. I use to be so frustrated by it, but I don't mind as much anymore.

Manda-Kay

26 ... turn 27 a week from today.  I work in a high school and sometimes get mistaken for a student. 

Whittyone12

I am 23 and think I look about 23. Maybe a little younger depending on what I'm wearing.

allardr

I'm 25 but god I probably look like a teenager. I get carded all the time but DH (who has a beard) never gets carded despite being only 2 months older. I need some facial hair I'm a teacher and are constantly asked by my students how old I am, I look younger than many of them that's for sure.

alake

I don't buy items that I need to be carded for.  I will be thirty on October 4th.

When I was in my last year of my bachelors degree my French professor thought I was one of the early college students in the class. I walked in to class wearing an "I voted!" sticker and she couldn't believe that I had voted and I had voted in the previous presidential election. I was 24 at the time.

During grad school one of the crazy acting professors asked me if I was a freshman. I chalk it up to the fact that I am short, I dressed casually and I was fairly quiet outside the costume shop.

I turned 30 this summer, most people are surprised when they find out my age. I haven't ever been carded because like @alake, I avoid that stuff.

CourtneyEeps

22 but I look younger, apparently. I always get suspicious looks when I order a drink.

Grins04

I will be 28 in a few months. I think I look 23ish. People always think I'm younger than what I am.
