How do I make myself look older?

Question

Today the dentist said I look 14. 😑 I think I've had enough of this "looking young for my age" shit.

Human society is not unlike a VAST migrating herd, its leading edge are the 'Progressives' those 'edgy' who "buck the predominant paradigm" and either reap the rewards of their risking or suffer the censure as a punitive example. The trailing herd's edge are the hide-bound stubborn Conservatives who seek to be the arbiters of 'propriety' by virtue of their seniority. And 'Cognitive Dissonance' is that ambiguous convergence where the vast middle majority decide WHOSE 'real world' experiences eventually move what's considered 'normal'.

That 'trailing' conservative jury is MOST vocal regarding the 'correct' behaviors especially of females and of arbitrarily 'when' children become maidens, women and crones. Paradoxically, in those Pacific and tropical regions MORE attuned to the prevailing Natural cycles... that arbitrary sexual 'maturity' and the rights and privileges accorded there unto are more attuned to nutrition and first menses not the Jesuits and Puritanism.

I understand you're frustrated that you're perceived as 'too young, throw her back' and 'verboden'.
I've TWICE been juvenilely 'propositioned' by 5-7 yr old girls to 'nap' with them
IN FRONT OF THEIR MOTHERS!

Kids that age, THESE days are exploring cosmetics, have begun exchanging cotton undergarments for satins and lace; ... get 'tarted up' for junior beauty pagans & dance competitions and by virtue of the peer 'grapevine' and far greater internet access... are able to observe both the 'how' older females deport themselves and the opportune privileges such conduct gets them. Hence you understand the G@G participant's responses which conjoined with the Kent State psychological hebophilia study affirming 89% hetrosexual male's innate response to early adolescent allure YOU are being faced with your potential opportune exploitation of your transient maturity status.

You need decide if you will "gather Ye rosebuds whilest Ye may" or chafe at the Conservative censure of your innate Natural allure. You COULD remain the 'good girl' the Prudes espouse or the 'naughty girl' the Suitors seek out to court (providing you employ 'common sense' safeguards to protect oneself from venereal diseases and unplanned pregnancy) The Goddess has made you ONE of her Avatars (a franchise) but NOT a 'monopoly'. There is NO intrinsic reason YOU should not enjoy your status in the prime of your bloom. Flowers do NOT expend energy to 'bud' & 'blossom' merely for gratuitous growth.
They DO SO to attract 'Pollinators'.

Humans share both the physiognomy AND the POTENTIAL self-control, to allow us to decouple the sensual pleasure of arousal & copulation from of necessity, ELECTIVE 'fertilization'.

"DO AS THOU WILT... Insightfully" You pay Nature's 'dues' monthly... you've EARNED the right to ENJOY it.

Embrace it. You'll love it when you are 40 and look 28, or are 60 and look 40. True story: a woman started working in my office and my first thought was "Wow, she's cute! Too bad she's too young to date." Later we got to talking and I told her I thought she was 20 years younger than me. She thought we were the same age. She was 35 and I thought she was 25. I was 45 and she thought I was 35.

Enjoy your youth you won't have it forever
If you want to wear makeup change your hair and wardrobe do so only because you really want to not because you feel pressured to become someone you are not.
Stay true to yourself. If you want change than go for it doll yourself up. Oh and looking more mature has nothing to do with revealing clothing. You don't have to wear revealing clothes if you don't want to you can dress sexy and still have things covered. How revealing is honestly up to you and how comfortable you are with it.

If I were you I'd just embrace it! Besides if you have I. D. on you there's no problem. But if you do want to make yourself look older you could try more makeup and avoid "younger" looks like pigtails or wearing I guess what people would view as "kiddy" t shirts and stuff.

MTC29 · Answer

How a person dresses has a lot to do with their perceived age. Skip the revealing clothing. Instead take a look at what women ten years older than yourself are wearing. It seems hard to believe now, but I had always looked younger than I was. I grew a moustache in college in order to look older.

It helped, but what finally worked was getting a job in an office where I was required to wear a suit and tie every day. A suit will add age to a man's looks fairly fast.

Regardless, the day will come when you'll dream of once again appearing younger than you are!

Browneye57 · Answer

Oh, you'll be beyond thankful down the road.
You could party like a rock star, smoke and drink all night every night, sleep for an hour, then get up and do it again. You could die your hair gray, and stay dehydrated so your skin gets wrinkly. Don't shave, don't wear any makeup, and don't wash your clothes.

You'd probly look at least a decade older then. ;)
And feel completely like homemade dog shit. LOL

No, enjoy your youth and beauty. For it is fleeting. Before you know it you'll be old and wrinkly, just like me. LOL

jasco · Answer

I make my self look older by growing a beard, making my voice deeper and having more confidence in my attitude and how I walk. For a women tho, wearing more make up and revealing cloths won’t do you any good. It’s just gonna make you look bad. Yea it may make ya look old but their will be negative side effects to. Honestly I suggest you wearing cloths that are from older generations and try older style hair types. Walk with more confidence and deepen your voice. Don’t make ya self sound like a dude though

t-8900 · Answer

Please, please, PLEASE enjoy your youth. A lot of us had shitty upbringings or had our childhood cut short. Enjoy it! There's no need to rush into adulthood. Believe me when I saw we end up wanting to go back and do it all over again. Also you never need to show your body off more. That's bad advice from people with insecurity. Due to your age watch the makeup as it can mess up your skin while your body is still developing. I think you have a lot of examples on the internet of how not to behave, act. Look at what quality men say, take that advice. Unless your intention is to get with chicks I guess. You will have a very bright future ahead of you. Good luck out there sweetheart!

TadCurious · Answer

Kiarikazukuta I wish your dentist hadn't made that comment. Not that he intended to cause offense but it was just insensitive. People who look younger than their age can be self conscious about that. I know because I used to get that all the time from people. "Wow, you don't look [insert number]."
Anyway, you DON'T look 14. That's ridiculous. But especially as a woman you are naturally blessed with a more youthful appearance that is a blessing.
🙋‍♂️😊

PeacefulRainDrop · Answer

Enjoy it while you do! I was the same as you im the oldest of my siblings and everyone thought I was the youngest there's 5 years between me and the youngest.

Also cutting your hair short makes you look older. I did with this heat wave and I actually look my age now.

Jake99999 · Answer

I think you should just enjoy your youthful looks and don’t worry about people who say you look young. I doubt you really look 14. Your dentist - who cares what he thinks. The good news is when you are in your 30’s and 40’s and 50’s you will look younger too. My partner looks 10 years younger than she really is. Look at it as a genetic gift 😊

Mangospacho · Answer

I think you’re looking at all of this the wrong way. If your dentist thinks you’re 14, embrace it, get all the dental work you possibly can. Get the veneers and all the orthodontia you possibly can without having to prepay then when the bill comes, have them send it to your parents. Then, when they can’t collect from your parents and they realize you’re over the age of majority and they can’t collect on that debt because you’ve switched dentists, they’ll know why they should never tell someone they look like a teenager when they’re actually adults.

AndrewMG · Answer

I mean I always looked young for my age and as a male growing up in a tough/confrontational area I'm not quite sure how I got along with it. Unfortunately my hairline is gaining revenge so I'm guessing my days of looking younger than I am are going to be short lived lol

haphazard · Answer

You don't look 14 but definitely not 27. Consider it a good thing. Some Asian girls have really young looking bodies I've noticed...

Jessica405 · Answer

Option E! I know. I had the same trouble. ID'd every damn time I wanted a bottle of wine. Age for buying here is 18. It didn't stop until I was 25.

Thankfully, when we get to our 50's, we will have the benefit of looking younger!

AmandaYVR · Answer

More makeup, but not overdone. Dress more sophisticated. Carry yourself as a mature woman, with good etiquette and how you communicate.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

If you want to look skinny hangout with fat people, if you want to look older hangout with younger people.

SGTAdam · Answer

I think it's cute, but honestly this is a good thing. Because when you get MUCH older you'll look young and that is a wonderful thing. I personally think you're beautiful, but that's all from one picture only so I like the way you look.

ohshee · Answer

You look good I think it'd be better just to stay Just the Way You Are you can grow into Oldness when it says it's ready. So I would embrace the way you look and I really embrace the way you feel

jackster95 · Answer

You don't look 14 to me, you have quite a lovely complexion with a sort of soft, intelligent, strong energy going on. I think it was that dentists perception.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

Wear more makeup AND more revealing clothes. That's probably what would work. Don't actually do it though, unless you insist on looking older, you look fine to me.

DJB72 · Answer

I've been told I look like I'm in my 30s for over 20 years. First time was when someone thought my dad was my little brother when I was 22 and he was 52. Now I'm 49 and being told I look 35 is a good thing 🤣🤣🤣

DizzyDesii · Answer

Put on some granny glasses and wear a large night gown and rollers in your hair

dustybiker · Answer

I still look a half my age. I never worried about it. Be grateful, most people would kill for the gift.. or at least commit brutal self bodily harm.

DWornock · Answer

When guys say you look younger, they are just being nice. Take what the dentist said with a grain of salt. If that is your profile photo, you don't look under 20 to me. However, if I was to meet you, I would tell you that you look younger because I know that is women like to hear.

Grond21 · Answer

13-year-olds are wearing makeup and revealing clothes these days. I don't think that's the route for you. I would say wear more mature clothes, and carry yourself with more confidence.

Vikkrram · Answer

Then you should have asked this question to dentist that is there any Treatment in Dental which would make me look like girls of my age? 😅

Ms_Vanderquack · Answer

The take away from this is that your dentist is an idiot. You clearly don’t look 14.

Wise4myage · Answer

You must have some awesome genes, but I can see what a pain in the ass this could be. I say just be yourself and don't worry about it. I do like the B option though, lol.

pleasestopthis · Answer

Maybe wear more serious looking clothes, not necessarily revealing, and a bit more of makeup? But I think there's nothing wrong with looking young, I think it's a good thing

alance99 · Answer

Dont do anything infact take it as a compliment, i also look 7-8 years young for my age and i am confident with it.

People spend millions to look but you are naturally young which is a big positive for you 🙂

dolemite89 · Answer

pick up smoking 🤷‍♂️ that seems to do the trick for most older looking women i’ve met 🤣

chrissykerdock · Answer

wearing super short mini dresses and make up will do the trick... with desire comes passion.

Kaneki05 · Answer

I suggested more revealing clothes but then realised i wouldn't be able to see, so... Nvm that lol.

Be glad that you don't. When you're 40, you'll be ecstatic that people think you look like you're a 21 year old !!

Massageman · Answer

Just be sure to carry an ID with a clear picture that shows you are of legal age.  Enjoy the fact that you have youthful appearance.

snackthatsmilesback · Answer

Hairstyle, glasses, and dress more maturely/ professionally. Be controlled and confident. That's what I'd suggest.

UnicornU · Answer

Change your hair style and wear colorful clothes or more feminine styles… I dunno but you look good the way you are and it shouldn’t bother you

iBeowulf · Answer

It's a delayed effect due to small features, but around 35 you'll appear to age rapidly.

BloJo · Answer

How old do you want to look? Gray hair dye can add age. (More dye add more age. Gray highlights just add a little.) Using a walker can add considerable age.

noohair · Answer

Soon you will be asking the opposite question.  Be patent.  Life is a marathon, sprinters don't finish well.

G5TWA1 · Answer

I relate. People assume I am 13-15.  Using makeup might help.

TheGuyInJs · Answer

I personally think the way a woman wears her hair or clothing choice can change how old she looks a great deal, but Don't go changing your image for your dentist.

Lay out in the sun or a tanning bed, I guarantee you that you will start to look old FAST! Drink and smoke too. No but seriously, don’t do that. You don’t want to look old.
