I used to! But thankfully due to a life of fear and stress, I’m appropriately well aged now.

@DrWatson haha - the Giant Panda I use is Chinese. Japan does not have indigenous Pandas be they Giant or Red ones 😂😂🙂🐼🥢

I get 17 pretty regularly 😅 usually when I’m going make-up free.

Emjay · 18-21, F

I look a bit younger than my real age. I'm okay with that.

Yes. Not recently. 😅. But when I was in my early twenties and in college, I often got mistaken for a high schooler. Being skinny and on the shorter side was probably part of it.

Constantly. Used to upset my late wife and my subsequent late partner because people would assume I was their son. Latest was in the hospital when presumably I wasn't looking my best. I had two nurses during change of shift, reading in the summary of my case to the next shift's nurse, stumble over my age and then blurt out to me "You're 83? That never fully registered when I came on shift. You look 20 years younger and I just assumed you were in your 60's."

Yes, people nowadays sometimes are surprised when I tell them my age, and they say I look younger.

There has been a few people thought I was 16

DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F

Yes. In high school I was told I had a "baby face" (I just assumed that was code for [i]fat[/i]), and in my late 30s, I had college kids telling me they thought I was their age.

Now that I'm 42, I've gained weight and I'm letting my grey roots grow out, so I'm looking more my own age.

UndercoverBard · 31-35, M

Yup

deadgerbil · 22-25

@UndercoverBard how's that hairline tho

UndercoverBard · 31-35, M

@deadgerbil could be worse

deadgerbil · 22-25

@UndercoverBard sounds like it was just maturing

Queendragonfly · 31-35, F

Only all my life.

Yeah sometimes. Based on the comments almost everybody said yes so I think the general public is kinda clueless about guessing ages. I blame the media lol. Like in the movies they often hire older actors to play roles where they are 5-10 years younger 🤷🏽‍♀️

IWasCallingYaLarry · 26-30, M

I always get that I look older than I am rather than younger. Has happened ever since I was 10 because that's when I started growing a mustache and hair everywhere. Some people my age in 9th grade didn't even believe me when I said I was a freshman.

Adogslife · 61-69, M

Hmmm, I look young physically, but my hair is a dead giveaway. It’s solid gray, long since passed are the days of blonde. Thus, I can only act younger than my age and compete like a younger person.

NovaNine · 56-60, M

Yes

ChiefWalksWith40oz · 26-30

Yeah. Growing up people always thought my lil brother was my big brother 😂

Nowadays people think I look my age finally but even just a few years ago people were thinking I looked younger

summersong · F

Always

reflectingmonkey · 51-55, M

I don't think I look much younger than my age but I definitively have a young personality and energy which would explain why 2 of my best friends and my girlfriend also are women in their 20's.
