Do you think that you look you age, or would you say that you look older/younger? Do you ever strive to look younger than you actually are?

I think I look about my age. Maybe two or three years younger when I shave. No desire to look younger.

I have no idea, I've gone up and down for half of my life, when I was 10 people thought I was an adult, then when I was 16 people thought I was 12, but when I was 14 this checker at the store asked if I needed to get any cigarettes. I have no idea what people think of me now.

I get told all the time that I look younger than I am, and while it's a compliment, it isn't anything I try to do. It kind of makes me nervous, because often times when people hold on to looking especially young, once the aging process inevitably starts, it hits them the hardest.

People usually think I look much younger than I am. Hell, I still get carded to buy alcohol! I guess I take it as a compliment of sorts (better than looking older I guess), but I have no particular desire to look any younger at this point. I'm very happy with my age and my looks as it relates to my age.

I have been told I don't look 66. I have seen older looking guys my age. Could be attitude or exercise or expectations of what old men look like. IDK.
From a distance I look better. Up close you see the thinning skin, the wrinkles and other indications of age.

IDK, people say I look younger than I am but it's hard for me to judge because I'm just me and I'm going to be 32 in May. What is 32 supposed to look like? lol.

I for sure look my age, Time however continues to look at least 10 years younger than me. Frankly I don't care too much, one way or the other. Like Popeye, I yam what I yam.

Yup!
I ran into a lot of age discrimination when I was in my fifties and was looking for work so I knocked ten years off my age and got a job. That really came in handy when I was 61 and our operation closed. Who wants to hire a 61 year old that will be retiring soon? However, 51 wasn't so bad so I found another job right away. It was my plan to work until 70 but I only made it to 67.

For years I looked younger than my age, but I think it might be catching up with me now. Hell yeah I wanna look younger....and I refuse to grow old gracefully. Sporadic gray hairs are showing up on my face, leading me to come to the conclusion that having a beard is totally out. Not happening.

People tell me I look young for my age. Part of me likes it and part of me feels that looking your age shouldn't be a bad thing, but society prizes youth. I was carded for alcohol a couple of years ago at a liquor store (I was 38). I was actually pretty annoyed since I had just stuffed cash in my pocket and had left my purse in the car...lol... Had to walk back out in the rain to get it, and was completely bitchy with PMS.

I have the Scorpio trait of looking older when I was young, and younger now that I am 55. Most people say I haven't changed much over the years.
I look in the mirror closely, and aside from some pouchiness in the cheeks, I don't have wrinkles. My neck is still tight and not wrinkled, no double chin, so I am lucky.
When I was 50, people marveled, but I think now at 55 things have caught up with me a bit. But overall I am pretty satisfied.
Couldn't escape the weight gain though!

No, I simply looked older than he did when we got married. I was 17 he was 19, but he looked 15 and I looked 21. His sister in law lied to his parents and said she was younger than their other son, little by little it came out she was a few years older. So when I first met my new mother in law , the first thing she said was "You are younger than he is?", in that tone that said I was a liar. I offered to show her my birth certificate.alan smithee wrote:Suzi wrote:I for sure look my age, Time however continues to look at least 10 years younger than me.

We had friends who often got asked if she was her husbands mother. I told Time if someone ever asked me that I would throttle him with my bare hands. So one day I we were all at the store and the kids were all crowded around looking at a parking lot salesman's wares, they of course were calling me mom (one of the girls taller than me, the other the same height), when Time walked by and said something . The salesman looked at me and said "Is he your kid too?????". I didn't throttle him, he couldn't help it.

I'm sure he said it with shock and awe because he couldn't believe such a young woman as yourself could have given birth to an old fart like that.

I feel younger.
Honestly, I don't look it. It's difficult sometimes when people always think that you are younger than what you actually are.
I don't look it, I don't feel it either. Well, okay when I talk to the younger generation about Jethro Tull and their reactions mostly were twisted eyebrow or a question like "Who is he?" then, I feel definitely old.
