I need to look older.

[heyzombiehitler]

What are some ideas? Im 20 years old and look like im fresh out of my sophmore year in high school. Just once I would like to buy cigarettes without the cashier squinting at my ID. Thoughts?

[billyboatkid]

Lol, at least you're not 19 and people think you're 23 like me..

I wish I looked younger.

Grow a beard.

[AP_Punk]

same here. a lot of times people think i look 16.

:shiftyeyes:

[bigblue2015]

I know exactly how you feel, I have the same problem. I'm 21 and I still get carded for cigarettes and it annoys the shit out of me.

[Brandon Allin]

I look my age, but I'm 6'4", and generally bigger than cashiers, so I rarely get my ID checked.

[Renee]

I find it flattering when people ask for my ID, it makes me feel young again. I think I look my age and I always get ID-ed (and sometimes accused of having a fake ID). The only time I don't is when one specific guy is working at my 7-11.

I agree, maybe some facial hair.

dude, you were not kidding.
i never would've guessed you were my age.
ummm... yeah good luck with that
maybe some scruffiness would help?

Still cute though, right?

Dude, at least when you get older you'll look younger.

[swt_catastrophe]

hah yes.
do you have your lip pierced or am i hallucinating?

[The Boathouse]

I wish I looked younger. This fucking beard, not to mention premature graying, convince people that I'm far older than I am. Meh.

[Yellow]

Hey man, don't worry about it.

I get told I look young all the time.

You'll appreciate it when you're older.

[katekate]

[AP_Punk]

[heyzombiehitler]

I have a lip piercing, yes.

[breaking news!]

Hehe, I thought you were younger also. Which is funny. Ya know. *wink* *wink*

JK, jk. You are doing fine for your age. Pretty hot actually.

Just work out, that's the most obvious advice I have. Beef up a bit, eat them cows.

I've received really mixed feelings about my age. Some people think I like 14, while others tell me I look about 22.

[breaking news!]

People usually guess I'm 18-19. Depending on what I'm wearing, I can pass for 20-21. When I get dressed up people think I'm much older. I'm actually 16.

[tomakebelieve]

Someone told me once that based on my profile picture here, I don't look a day over 14. ;_;

Usually when I am out with my younger sister, she gets asked if she's the older one.

I don't even think I look young at all.

[caress me down]

i was thinking the opposite. i think buzzcuts make people look older

you look older.

[eHaMpToN]

OP is seven

[spansen]

grow a beard.

[lovely864md]

People think I'm old until I stand up. Then they just think "armrest."

[bduke13]

A girl working at Ravens training camp asked me if I was 14....

[llwilliamsll]

People think I'm old until I stand up. Then they just think "armrest."
So you're short?
And if you want to look older, just draw a mustache on your finger and hold it under your nose when you're paying for things. Also, talk in a low toned voice about things like stocks and mutual funds. Also compliment the day and complain about your 9-5.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

I am in the same boat as you. I cannot grow facial hair either.

You would indeed be a good armrest. This makes me realize that I need more shorter people in my life.

me too. some people think I look older than I am, and some people think I look younger. especially on days when I'm not wearing makeup. and apparently I sound younger on the phone.

then why does your profile say 18?

Usually when I am out with my younger sister, she gets asked if she's the older one.
a few months my sister and I were at our littlest sister's DARE graduation and one of the moms there came over and was talking to my mom and she asked which of us was in college. my sister was in middle school, so needless to say I was pissed. I actually got up and walked out for a few minutes.

I'm still kind of angry about it. but she's a dumbass. we were having a discussion of what a dipshit she is at the dinner table a few nights ago due to some of her more recent antics.

Ouch. I don't understand how people can confuse that much of an age difference. My sister is 16, so she's only 3 years younger than me. I still don't understand how they think she's older when I am the one with a piercing and tattoo. *shrugs*

you have a baby-face, so that's probably why.

my sister and i look completely different, so once people find out we're related,
i usually get asked "so, you guys have the same dad/mom/adopted?"
umm.. NO.

yeah, my sister's about three inches taller than me. and I will say that she does look a little older than her age, but definitely not to that extreme. to me, she has that definite fourteen year old girl style. you know when you see girls like that.. with their makeup extremely overdone and by what they're wearing you can tell they're somewhere around that age.

[thesafeword]

I think that I look exactly my age.

my friend's and i always called them "mini-me's"
they look/act like they're 21, and it's so funny.

haha. that's cute. I might have to steal that. they really do and I don't get it. I was going somewhere yesterday afternoon and I drove through downtown on my way to the freeway and I made the mistake of stopping at Cold Stone to get a shake. school had just gotten out so it was crawling with high school kids and it took FOREVER, but I saw so many girls who were prime examples of this. I just had to laugh, it was great.

Good god, at least I'm over 5". It's terrible at shows or in any kind of crowd, but I get to wear pretty heels a lot and I'm always in the front at dance...

[HelpMeSleep]

I hate when people do that. I'm actually always really careful about guessing people's ages because I don't want to offend anyone with that, and I think it's just annoying when people think you're younger than you are (except for of course when you actually do get old, then I'm sure it's great.) I work with kids and when I meet them and ask how old they are, I always guess that they're a grade older than what I actually think. always works for me.

I try to do that too, because I know what it feels like to be told that i look really young. I hate when people think im like 13 just because im vertically challenged and have a babyface. I guess itll be better when im older, but thats far in the future.

[biodegradable]

Good god, at least I'm over 5". It's terrible at shows or in any kind of crowd, but I get to wear pretty heels a lot and I'm always in the front at dance...

i'm 4 11" and it sucks, let me tell you. it's not like i can wear heels either because they don't come in anything smaller than a 5. buying sneakers is okay cause i can buy cheap ones, but anything remotely dressy is torture. plus, being in the grocery store and having to ask someone to get things off of the shelf for you is really embarrassing. plus, kissing tall people is a chore.

Haha I'm only about 2.5 inches taller than you. I'm only a 6/6.5 and often those are too big but ouch, that does suck. My brother is 5'11" so I just make him grab everything for me but I work in a library and have to shelve books high up all the time which is a huge pain in the ass to constantly have to drag around a stool. And I feel your pain on the kissing thing considering pretty much everyone is a tall person from down here.

[Markus1186]

Meh I have the same problem, I hate getting grilled everytime I walk into a bar. Although I get some satisfaction when I do prove my age..

I guess down the road at 30-40 it'll be a good thing though.

[JJJ]

I've had a beard since 9th grade and have always looked older, it's quite nice.

[argg_xo]

i've been to shows where the guy at the door puts huge X's on my hands because he thinks i have a fake i.d. everyone says it will be a blessing when you're older but right now it's annoying.

[Bites the Dust]

I look 21, and I'm 17. I actualy get served in some places. I don't abuse it though. I get one or two drinks.

[atticus1492]

Maybe stop waring Alkaline Trio shirts. They probably just don't respect you at all.

[cuetheflames]

get a fake ID?

[Fallinto_rhythm]

I look younger too, but I don't really mind.

[Giant Broccoli]

wear high heels.
hahahahah

[spansen]

seriously. just grow a beard.

i have my driver's license.. which was renewed last month after i lost my wallet.. where i'm clean shaven for the most part.. and now i have a beard. yesterday i was told i look a lot older now by an employee of the social security administration here in bloom.

beard it up.

[hooray!]

i know how you feel. i'm short, almost 18 and someone asked if i was a sophomore in high school. i hate it. i have side burns but obviously it isn't enough.

"i'll appreciate it later in life"

Kill someone. Wait a week. Kill someone else. Wait for the change to take over your body and eventually you'll not only be able to get cigarettes without being ID'd you'll be able to do whatever the fuck you want.

[heyzombiehitler]

[Kerplunk_23]

I get from alot of people I look 18 which I don't mind I would much rather look younger I guess that way I dont look so old when I do get older then what I am,though in my ID I look older I guess but then I had long hair and a decent size goatee,which its always funny to show when I am going to shows cause some security well look at me then the ID then at me again to make sure its the same person LOL.

[hf57]

haha i'm only 16 and a lot of times i don't even get asked for id when buying cigarettes or beer

I'm 16 and people think I am in eighth grade.. if I am lucky. So pretty much the only guys who like me are pedofyles who are trying to beat the system. Wonderful.

I generally get I look a bit older than I am, but honestly, I think going out of your way to look older/younger is a waste of time.

you look like you're around 35 in your profile picture.



i like looking young, why look old before you have to?

[spansen]

haha, thanks?

i'm shaving the beard off the next time i cut my hair.. i'll have short sideburns and see how a patch on the chin looks or maybe cut it just to sideburns.

[andrew4045]

i get carded at rated r movies, buying cigars, renting video games, etc. i dont look THAT young.

[spansen]

grow a beard. problem solved.

i've never been carded for a movie.

[wroteurname]

Depending on the last time I shaved I get anywhere from 13-25. Being 5'7 doesn't help me look older.

[spansen]

you definitely don't look 13 in your picture.. but i wouldn't think i look 35, either.

[thisischaos]

Heels?
It'd make you significantly taller, maybe that would work?

[wroteurname]

I'd give ya mid-20s

[Momo32T]

I am 21 and I can barely grow enough facial hair to be considered peach fuzz.

[.invisible ink.]

It's definitely the beard, if you shaved I'm sure it would take a lot of years off you.

growing a beard is over kill. just always leave stubble. a good shadow on your face and you never get carded. in the liquor store the clerk sees me and says "hmmm, perfectly capable of growing manly attributes. I'm sure he's old enough"

It's nice to look young I guess, but it gets ridiculous sometimes. When I was in Geneva I got carded for wine and beer numerous times, which is embarrassing because that means they thought I was 16 or 18.

it sucks looking younger. but think of it this way: when you're 40, you'll probably look 30.

that's how I look at it. although I've decided to grow a beard... so maybe that will help?

It's weird that I get carded for smokes more than I do for booze.
