Question

PeachyPie93 · Accepted Answer

Nothing is bad about it.. I dread getting older.. 2 years ago someone asked if I was my sisters daughter and the look on her face was hilarious, since she is only 4 years older :D I actually don't look that young, I think I look my age but it's nice to not have all the guys being up my sisters ass anymore. I got asked for my ID in the casino as well so maybe in dimmer light I look 20 something lol. Also my ex when I was 33 said I look 25 or 26 and he was 23 but who knows if that was true. When I was in my 20's tho people honestly thought I was a teenager and when I hung out with my little cousins, my brother in law and my friends were like you look the same age as them lol.

I started to wear glasses going outside... because I was almost 30 and they still asked for my fucking ID... :D

when my son and later my older daughter started school I was asked to bring our mother or father... :D

and now no one believes I'm 47... :D

I guess it changes based on your life phase.

The best part is the obvious part, the vanity of it all😂 Few things in life thrill me these days like people being in disbelief of my age.

But then the annoying part is when they sort of acknowledge that your true age IS kinda old. That’s a dagger every time😵🗡️ And it’s only gonna get worse, lmao

Depends on what age, and how much younger you look.. I remember my brother as a 20 year old was asked if he was graduating the 8th grade.. 😂😂😂.. So I would imagine something like that is annoying.. But as you get older you'll look younger for a long time.. So that's a good thing..

Apple1996 · Answer

When people think I'm a child/teenager. It's so annoying especially when I'm out with my kids and we get mistaken as siblings 🙄

OlderAndWiser · Answer

At 70, I get told quite often that I look like I am in my late 50's, and there is absolutely nothing annoying about that!

strateguy632 · Answer

Annoying in school brats pointed out i was "shorter". i only figured out i "looked younger" when i argued with the doc to show me the chart... in one year i had advanced tall, one year of an earlier age , but doc refused to admit he was wrong...

Good best is despite age 50, i can dump a gal and quickly attract others.

sage2021 · Answer

Since I have always looked at least 15 years younger than my chronological age I wish that more mature guys would have asked me out instead of just younger guys because it never worked out and it would always end.

exitseven · Answer

I have been told by many that I look much younger than i am. Last summer when I told my boss I was planning on retiring he could not believe how old I was. He is in his 40s and he thought I was younger than he was.

I guess if I was still dating it would be an advantage. I really cannot think of a downside.

DishLady · Answer

Best thing is that you look awesome. Worst thing is that you get overly young guys hovering and keep getting the same age-related come-on lines.

Professor-college · Answer

Well I really don't find anything I knowing about that... I mean I work as a university professor and most of my students feel apparently more at ease with me because I look you ever been my age. I really don't like taking myself too seriously I like teaching and doing it in a very humane manner.

Shiprex · Answer

I found it annoying that I would be asked for ID when I was in my 30s though my cousin (female) had the same and she was in her 40s (it may have been a way to get to know her name but she denies that).

Jove79 · Answer

I’m almost 40 but look mid 20’s, nothing really good or bad about it. My friends who are my age look their age, doesn’t change anything. But unfortunately I might look younger than my age, but I physically feel much older

Valdemort · Answer

Being told I look cute. Being told I look  cute .  lmfao. I don't really care for it. I'm used to it.

Anonymous · Answer

i guess the best part would be you'll age much better and slower, you pull off more clothes longer, you can get away with more if people dont know your real age, you'll be hot for longer

the worsts would be probably being infantilized and not treated seriously

itsannalee · Answer

The most annoying is they still ask for my ID for some bars or clubs. The best thing is just being young.

Jay-_- · Answer

The only good thing about looking younger than your age is when you are in your actually considered old you'll look younger... Me on the other hand I pray I look younger when older but the fact I look like a 24 year old man at 19 I might be cooked.

alice55 · Answer

Best things is getting compliment for it and people looking shocked when I tell them my real age, a lot of time stranger have told me I should be a model but when I tell them I'm too old for it they look shocked xD

Ther's no bad things about it, I guess it could be bad if I had a high position job but all the job I had were minimum wage one so nobody care how young I look in those.

Nikki1989 · Answer

The ID thing is annoying. I still get asked despite being 35.

Circushowcowboy · Answer

Negative: People treating you with less respect because they think you’re younger Positive: it’s nice to be told you look good for your age. And student discounts

Spencer10 · Answer

Just the hope that when I turn 50 I will still look 40!

andreasderjuengere · Answer

Most annoying to me: to be considered one of the younger ones (in terms of life ''style'', or contemporary behaviour/thinking patterns)

Best to me: as the same-age ladies around me increasingly are getting boring... having options :D

glennos89 · Answer

Nothing annoying when ur looking like you probably 🤭

KittygosMeoWW · Answer

Annoying- when I would smoke cigarettes I would get lectured about being too young.  pro- I don't know lol

AydenHazor · Answer

I'm not often mistaken for much younger than my age, but speaking from a friend's experiences that I've witnessed, one of the worst is getting carded for things well into your late 30s. Best is probably that pleasant response you receive from others when you have a youthful appearance.

Miah06 · Answer

I hate how people assume I'm in high school😭

Anonymous · Answer

I think it's not that annoying, I mean, it can be when you're younger, and you look like a kid... they won't let you in any night-club :P

najekim · Answer

Fun story. I was drinking in bars & nightclubs since I was 16. Never carded. Friend of mine, 4 years older, always got carded. Ticked him off, but he never said anything since I was buying the first two rounds. This was back legal age was 18.

Lynx122 · Answer

I was a target in highschool. Otherwise there's nothing bad about it.

Likes2drive · Answer

I used to get that a lot, but now I pretty much look my age or just a little bit younger , I think the only annoying part about that back when I was young was constantly getting IDeed

beefcakebradybatson · Answer

Best thing:Ladies complimenting my boyish good looks.  Annoying thing;People a half-century my junior (21 like my youngest great-nephew) addressing me as "Bro!!!"

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Annoying: I still get carded. Best: People still think of me as a kid, so to speak.

Anastasia86 · Answer
