People often tell me I look like I'm a middle schooler. I have to correct people OFTEN that I'm 19. lol.

I keep getting asked for ID when buying alcohol. The limit is 20. I'm not 20 o:

Brendino March 7th, 2016 12:25 AM

I've always figured I look right around my age, though I think the last time I was IDed was about 3 years ago now, when I was still only 21.

One thing that I'll always remember though was when I was talking to a customer last year, and they assumed that I was in my mid-30s. Kind of left me deflated, haha. And then not long after that, one of my new co-workers at the time asked if I was still in high school. So I guess being somewhere in the middle isn't all that bad :P

When I don't let my facial hair grow out people tend to think I'm 17-19, when I'm actually 22. Not complaining though. Hopefully if I continue to take care of myself I won't age harshly.

People tend to say I look much older than I actually am, mainly in the range of 24-26. It's predominantly because of my huge beard, as I'm only 21 (22 on Saturday woot woot.) Works out to my favor to, considering I don't have to get carded whenever I go out drinking unlike some of my other friends who just naturally look young.

Typically people have read me as much younger. Right around when I turned 21, I was with my parents at a local restaurant, and they asked if I needed a kid's menu. The kid's menus there were for children 11 and under. o.o

The general trend has been to read me as around 16-18. I don't really get it. When I look in the mirror, I feel like my age shows.

I recall back when I was 23, someone thought I looked 20. I am currently 27, but turning 28 next month.

I've been told numerous times I act a lot younger than I actually am. Though I'm practically taller than 90% of every person I meet, they always assume I'm still in school. I think the long eyelashes, rosy cheeks and lack of any facial hair gives that impression. I get patted on the head by people half my height, so that should be a good indicator of how people view my age :why:

I turned 20 two months ago but I still look like I'm like 13. And when I don't shave, it just makes it worse because then i look like a 13-year-old who doesn't know how to shave yet and/or is proud of his ridiculously patchy facial hair.

I just yearn for the day that I look like a legal adult. I have a feeling that won't come for another decade though honestly.

I'm 26, but when I'm clean shaven people think I'm 18. When I was 19 and couldn't grow a beard, I looked 15. My 6'1" stature is the only real indicator of my age. I'm literally keeping a goatee I hate because otherwise I don't get treated like an adult. I mean, I'm definitely not an adult on the inside, but I'd rather not get harassed if I want a damn beer.
