Its hard to date because I look to young?

[Anonymous]

I've been trying to get a girlfriend these past few months, but they always treat me like a little brother. The last girl I talked to said I look too young, and it's driving me crazy. When I remove my beard, I look like a 14-year-old boy. Even with a beard, I barely look 18 since I don't have a full beard. Is there a way to look more mature? I've been hitting the gym to lose the baby fat on my face.

I mean that could be part of the problem. The first impression is almost always visual unless you meet someone online and you have not used a profile picture. I would think that is rare to happen tho. Most people want to put a face to the name and won't answer people that don't have a pfp. While that could be an issue, I doubt it is the only thing. Also you mention that you have been looking for someone to date for a few months. That really isn't a long time. It can take a lot longer than that to find a quality person. The person I am with came along over a year after I had broken up with my ex. The key for me was not to be actively looking and just let things happen as they may. I didn't rush anything.

Perhaps also because you ARE young, hmm? You'll thank your lucky stars when you're in your 40s and 50s that you still have that young face.

I'm pretty sure that if you spend about 45 min with a stylist and 30 min with a personal shopper at your local mall that you'll be able to suit up and look a smidge older, ok?

And those girls who are rejecting you know are probably not quality women from the sound of their excuses. Move on... Bigger and brighter things ahead, kid.

If this is online then visual is an huge part of this! Use a beared photo.

Google how to look older and act older!

If this is irl then it's cause your acting like a little kid also! 😂 Have to act more mature not like a whiny kid!
