I know that I look younger but I don't look as young as I used to look :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-34941 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:06:36 +0000 s1lly 34941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still look like I'm 16, which can be annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-32393 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:13:36 +0000 lavender 32393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 30 and I recently got carded for a rated-r movie. So I def look a lot younger than what I really am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-32335 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:29:11 +0000 LuLu Mom 32335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 26 and still get carded, my DH is 33 and he looks younger than I do. :) I'm not complaining though, haha I would much rather look younger than older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-32295 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:05:28 +0000 Rosie Girl 32295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look younger then I am. Having one child hasn't really affected my appearance, but who knows, maybe after the next I will look older! I have a "baby" face though, so that doesn't help, and I'm short. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-32284 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 14:00:48 +0000 mrsjyw 32284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure it's the genes of the women in both sides of my family. My aunt who is in her mid 60s looks like she is in her 40s. I definitely look like I'm in my 20s and definitely with my height (5'7") I never got the usual "you look like you're 12" comments, but people are baffled when I tell them I'm 28. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30990 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:36:47 +0000 lilteacherbee 30990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 22, but people usually think I'm 18ish. It used to be annoying, but I'm starting to not be bothered by it. I wonder what the age is where you want to stop looking older and start wanting to look younger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30967 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:15:43 +0000 Mrs. D 30967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been blessed with good genes, I'm 32, but people I've met at my new job in the last three months assume I'm about 25. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30934 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:50:32 +0000 chopsuey 30934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: having my LO aged me too. Sleep is key to looking young! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30914 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:43:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 30914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 23 (and a half! ;) as is DH. We both look younger than we are. I think we both have baby faces - not fat but just..round I guess. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30856 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:15:54 +0000 tessabella76 30856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just tuned 35 but most people think I look like I'm in my 20's. I think once I have kids and don't get as much sleep I'll look more like my real age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30781 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 18:21:09 +0000 Rubies 30781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 30 and before I had LO, I was mistaken for a high school student. Salespeople would ring our doorbell and ask if my parents were home. It doesn't help that my voice sounds young, too. But since having LO, I've definitely aged and I think I look 30 now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30778 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 18:17:27 +0000 cupcakemama 30778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My age has a 4 on the front. Gulp. I am relying on the fact that I have an infant so people will think 'she can't be that old, she has a baby, must be blonde streaks not grey!'. That's how I delude myself, anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30771 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:52:05 +0000 MissKitten 30771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look 15. Even people and family who have known me for years sometimes think I'm younger. I get the weirdest looks from people but it's just my genes. My mother is 38 and she gets mistaken for my sister... my YOUNGER sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30766 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:38:54 +0000 Boogs 30766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People often think I'm much younger than I am, but I mostly blame my shortness on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30757 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:27:03 +0000 pelikila 30757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I apparently looked older than my age when I was in my teens. Once I hit my 20s I started looking my age. In my late 20s I looked younger than my age. A few months ago I cut my hair into a pixie style and with the shorter hair I am definitely looking more my age - 30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30736 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:51:27 +0000 prettylizy 30736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was 18-22, people thought I was 28. Now that I'm 26, I think people still think I'm in my early 30s.... :S I like to tell myself it's how I carry myself and not that I look OLD! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30734 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:45:07 +0000 cyndistar3 30734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look older than I really am but it is a good thing for now. I am 18 but people always think im in my early 20's. I don't think having a kid changed my physical appearance when it comes to age because people alway have thought I was older. But having a LO did affect how I dress and I guess I look even older but not really old, just old enough :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30731 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:37:11 +0000 Rescuemom10 30731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Many seem to think I am years younger than I am. I am OK with that though. Hopefully it stays that way! ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30632 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:42:42 +0000 HabesBabe 30632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I look my age-- when I was in high school, I would get mistaken for being older (because I "developed" really early), but now I think my Asian genes are slowing down my aging process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30613 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:33:25 +0000 tequiero21 30613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i can't really tell how old people are, let alone how i look myself. people think i'm in my 20s and i even get carded at casinos. i got carded last year or so when 18 is the minimum! and i KNOW i look at least in the mid-20s! but i have a feeling i'll age much faster once my kids are born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30611 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:33:01 +0000 mediagirl 30611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely look around my age (34). I don't think I look old but I have some more lines on my face than I had just a few years ago. I'm pretty happy with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30610 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:32:28 +0000 L2sweetpea 30610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look way younger than my age. Well I don't think so but people always tell me I do. We actually had Jehovah's Wittness' stop by the other day and spoke and gave literature to my husband. They told him they would be back to follow up. They came back about 3 weeks later and I answered the door. They had told me they stopped by and had spoken to "Bill...I'm assuming your father." When I replied my husband she was quite embarrassed I think. Mind you my husband is only 3 years older than me, and in my opinion looks young for his age as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30601 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:27:40 +0000 DillonLion 30601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When people spend time with me they are always shocked at my age and think I am older based on my personality I guess. It has always been this way for me. </p> <p>In terms of looks, I think I look exactly my age (24). Or at least I hope I do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30573 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:13:23 +0000 Sunshine1810 30573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely don't. I am just shy of 30 and get carded all the time. It's rare that I don't. In college I definitely looked like I was still in high school. One of my professors joked at our Senior dinner that I would be the one who would look 20 until I was 40...we'll see! </p> <p>My mom was carded once when she was 43, so maybe I'll be lucky like her! The only time I don't like it is in professional situations. People assume I am just out of college (graduated almost 8 years ago) and that I have no experience. I HATE that. Someone commented last week about how young I was to be a director in my organization, when I told her I was turning 30 in 2 weeks she confessed that she thought I was 21 or 22. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30508 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:32:30 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 30508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I'm 23 and get mistaken for a high schooler a lot. I get a lot of crazy looks when I go to buy wine. The cashiers always say "you'll appreciate it some day."</p> <p>My husband is 30 and he still gets carded all the time, especially when he is clean shaven. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30502 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:29:28 +0000 looch 30502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been told I look younger than I am, which is fine by me! I am 36, and have been told I look about 30, which I will take!</p> <p>I have very few wrinkles and my hair hasn't started to go white, something which I thought was inevitable, since my dad's been gray ever since I remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30497 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:27:02 +0000 mrsjazz 30497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 33 and most people are surprised to hear my age. They usually think I'm younger. I work in higher education and people always think I'm a student--which sometimes makes my job harder! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30464 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:03:15 +0000 yoursilverlining 30464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m 30 and get carded everywhere. My husband and I went on a cruise this summer and one lady blurted out that she thought I was 19 (!!!) after asking me flat out how old I was – that was a little embarrassing since my husband is 46 (and looks late 30’s/early 40’s). We wondered the rest of the cruise if anyone else thought my husband was a perv (and/or was jealous of him LOL) ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age#post-30463 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:03:07 +0000 Maysprout 30463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm starting to look older now that I'm 30 but probably still look a bit young. It's got it's good and bad. I live in a college town and see all the kids around so I don't think I look that young anymore but I've had a few people wondering if I'm a knocked up college kid. </p>
