I'm twenty years old in ten days time, why do I feel and look no older than 16?

[Anonymous]

I'm a late grower of sorts, where guys my age are tall, muscular and have beards any shape or size I'm just around five foot six with no real defining featues, My facial hair is coming along but lacking any real depth, but I just look much younger than I really am, this is also preventing me from really being able to do much in terms of dating women.

What should I do?

Some men do grow more slowly, and in fact men don't reach their full growth in terms of muscle depth and what not until the age of around 26 so you may have nothing to worry about. Try being patient. And also try to look at the other side of the spectrum.. There are also men who start to go bald at your age!

As for women? There are some of us who have the same insecurities. It can happen to anyone. Just be yourself and I'm sure plenty will want to date you regardless of facial hair. I personally don't like it much.

I am turning 28 in a few days and I was asked for ID when i wanted to buy rum filled chocolate... High school boys hit on me... It's ridiculous!
You just have a babyface... Probably... and that's why you don't look older. It's a bit annoying at time though...
And for the feeling part, i don't think things will ever change... I still feel like I am 17 and not a day older!
