After about 16 I think it is a negative comment. If it was a compliment on your maturity than rather than 'look older' it could be expressed as 'act/behave older' but 'wiser than your age' would be better.

Only other women have said things about age to me and looking older. And I am young and still look young.

I think they are being competitive with you then. Are they women you know or randoms?
Mostly random. I don't know. Only happened a couple times.
Not very reasonable if they don't know you. How would they know your age anyway?
Look older than age is bad.
Act older than age is good.
