The problem of looking too young

No one believes my actual age. I look way younger than my age, but don't have a baby face or anything. For me, there are pros and cons. The con is that people don't take you seriously. I am in my mid twenties but get mistaken for 17-19 year old.

 

Damn that sucks, imagine going to a bar and them asking you for an ID..Grow a beard lol?

 

It sucks now, but you'll be thankful when you hit your 40's

 

Just grow a beard. You'd look 5+ older.

 

I have the same problem, only reversed. People (mostly women ) think that I'm older. I'm 21 but I could easily pass as 26 year old

It can be good, but it can be bad too

p.l.u.r.

 

Well for a women this "problem" is a bless

For man hmm a problem indead

Anyway i look mature for my 23 years so i'm not having any problems

 

I'm 26 and I have the opposite problem - my receding hairline means I often get confused with a 40 year old! Must be the stresses of everyday life.

 

Yeah, grow some facial hair and you'll like at least 5-10 years older.

 

Lol , that's funny.. but to some extend, it would be worse to be mistaken for a high school student at 20 though .. I know girls do not like that! BUT, make up fixes everything

 

I had that same problem-I would go to the movies and have a young teen come and sat and throw his arm around me and I way over 20. The bright side is that when ppl don't take you seriously because you look to young-that will make you work harder to prove them wrong.

 

LOl. It can't be that bad, can it? A 26 year old getting mistaken for a 40 year old. perhaps you need to save your money you are earning online for a hair transplant or two. This should bring back your youthful looks.

 

Big deal dude, when your 50 youll be happy. Better lookig young than old. also age has nothign to do with respect it's how you carry yourself.

 

I was well into my 20's before I looked 18 and I still can't grow a beard. I can go a day or two without shaving.

Employers quickly take me seriously when they see my resume. And I don't go out to bars so I have no issues.

 

Yeah.. it all revolves around age discrimination I dislike that the most.. I mean, admit it without age discrimination there wouldn't be a problem with people acting different towards you if you looked young or not!

 

Lol. Tahts a coincidence. I too can't grow a proper beard. There is big gap between the folliclees that give out the hair strands on my face. This is why I never try to grow out my beard because it would be so sparse. I too can go 3 days or so without having to shave.

 

You and i have the same problem then am 25 years old, and look like a 18 years old, the difference between us that i dont considere it to be a problem, and my look really reflect my personality, even if am a computer engineer, i love sports, dancing and even watching tom and jerry , am young inside too , i think you should be very proud of yourself, many people (especially girls) would love to have what you got

 

i face a similar problem, that's why i have a mostache! now people get my correct age, 22! not 17 i guess!!

but then, it don't make much of a problem, since i don't go to bar

 

save off your head, that's what I did and people tell me I look a lot older

 

Try to gain some weight and build ur body.

BTW can u guess my age(check avatar)?

 

When I was 16 I could often get by with paying bus fare for the 12 and under age group. They didnt even question me. Now, I am in my 40s and people usually guess that I am 30 or 35.

In the future you will be glad that you look younger than your age - if it lasts
