When I'm dressed up, people usually assume early 20s.

I was 25. So I definitely look younger. meredithNYC on "Do you look your age?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age-3/page/2#post-2340362 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 14:22:15 +0000 meredithNYC 2340362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think so. I'm 34 and could maybe pass for 2 or 3 years younger, but that's probably the max!

DH on the other hand is 45 and looks much younger. Bartenders routinely make comments after they ID him.

I guess a lot of 20-year-old mothers are going to Trader Joe's with their babies to buy kale, quinoa, and pumpkin beer?

I'd put you around 28-29. @Rainbow Sprinkles: I think you look your age! Okay I totally thought I looked my age. But twice now within the last month, I've had TWO coworkers (that I didn't know well - ie they didn't know I'm a mom) ask me if I live with my parents!! They were shocked when I said I've been married for over five years, and have a three year old child. I wonder if, when people have prior knowledge that you're married and a parent, they just automatically assume your older? I met some people when I was pregnant who didn't think I was really 21, because I was pregnant! They thought I was at least 25 at the time. I think it was less related to how old I looked and moreso my gestational status lol Astro Bee on "Do you look your age?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age-3/page/2#post-2339539 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 20:18:28 +0000 Astro Bee 2339539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I am still getting carded at the liquor store... at age 34! And the legal drinking age here is 19, but they will ID you if you look under 25. So, I guess I look a lot younger than my age? People that meet me are often very much surprised at my age. Especially at work, where I don't wear makeup. With makeup, I probably look in my late 20s. I have a very slight build, and a small face, both of which erroneously give the impression of me being younger.

I think when I'm in my at-home clothes I probably look a lot younger, but when I leave the house with two kids or go to work, I probably look my age. sandy on "Do you look your age?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-look-your-age-3/page/2#post-2339530 Thu, 29 Oct 2015 20:12:44 +0000 sandy 2339530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I look my age but DH looks young for his age.

Have that conversation with people in a daily basis. ;/ hopefully it'll continue when I'm older!

People tell me I look young, but I AM young(ish). Maybe I just look my age?!?

DH and I just stopped getting carded for rated R movies in the last few years (seriously), and we just turned 30. Though really that's more him than me. But people definitely assume I'm more mid-20's.

I think you could easily pass for a college kid now - I can't imagine you looked old enough to have your own kids when you really were a student! To answer the original question - yep, I look my age. I'm 36 - when I see pictures of 30 yr olds, I think I look much older than them, but when I see pictures of 40 yr olds, I think I look a fair bit younger than them, so I'd say most would guess my age fairly accurately.
