View Full Version : Looking young... Doing my head in!

Today alone I have been accused of being 16 or even younger... Younger when I got asked if I was 16 for a lottery ticket!?!?!?!?!? Thankfully they didnt ID me, but seriously, im 23 (not so far off of 24) and I get asked if im 16, it makes me feel pretty bad tbh.
I think it has the added down side with the ladies. I tend to attract 15/16 year olds to me... fortunately I dont meet so many of them so thats not so bad but first impressions count for a lot so I hear and it seems to me that ladies that think im 16 or worse younger, wont be interested... I can tell from my experience this is certainly a factor in my lack of pulling ability. :(
I work in a college in IT, I wonder how many of the students think im younger than them!? :confused:
Sigh... Just thought id share this with the mighty Org, see what people think.

Better looking young for your age. Wait til you are over thirty and people think your younger.....its great :-)
I stopped paying half on the bus when I hit 21, and that was voluntary.
I was in Florida years ago when I was 34, thirty four, and I got asked for ID when ordering a couple of beers. I didn't have any on me, why would I at 34yr old, and so ended up having a nice refreshing Sprite.
Mind you, I think it is creeping up on me now at 45......
BTW, I am about 27yr old in the avatar picture with the GPMG.

Just how it goes. Back in the day a girl I was seeing was 29 and her friend was 19, and they BOTH got ID'd to get into a pub where we were regulars by an overzealous new bouncer!
Mrs Metal still gets it sometimes, she complains but I tell her to enjoy it while it lasts.
Get some stubble. I look alot younger without it!
But your complaining?!? Your young, single (?) and look about the age of some 16-18yr old college girls. Get in there i'd say. True they will generally be shallow relationships that wont last but hey yer only young once and at 24 you dont want to settle down lol.
Lucky *******....
Maybe it's because they don't think you're fully grown yet :D

Then again, I did think Thegreek was someone's son when I first met him and expected him to be a pillion.

There's only a limited time in which to have lots of sex with lots of young uninhibited hotties (unless you're rich or Hugh Hefner - and you ain't), don't end up in a steady relationship or otherwise let it pass you by too soon or your knob will hate you!

I have go stubble, practically a beard atm... tsh. Its funny actually, the guy I work with is 21 and he is always told he looks 35! :smt037 But then he has a lovely girl friend so its not that big a deal I guess :rolleyes:
Ha ha, I do work in a college, problem is that im obviously not allowed to touch them, or really even be friends, incase I lead them astray... Ill be it would be the other way around tbh. Tis a bit depressing seeing it all day. :(

Got told not, apparently its illegal, safeguarding or something like that. So I guess the only thing that is even remotely allowed is waiting till they leave, but even then I guess its a little dodgy :rolleyes: heh, just my luck aye.

I'd definitely stay away from the pupils, askin for trouble.
I don't think it's as big a deal as you think.

If you look younger you're likely to live longer too so don't be in a rush to 'grow older'. :)

I tend to attract 15/16 year olds to me...
You'll be surprised how going into hamleys at the age of 22 and busting out a few guitar hero songs on expert woo's this sort of age range. I had to say 'no' to a few teenagers that day, all thanks to guitar hero abilities, lol.
If only a bit younger and single. Make the most of it mate.

You say that but I'm 26 on Wednesday and struggle to grow anything convincing.
I always get told I look young I literally can not go anywhere without getting asked for id.
The way I look at it is, when I'm 30+ I'll still look like I'm in my 20's

I'm the same, I still feel 18, to be honest though i never really consider age, when I'm out with people from here some of them are 18, some of them are 50+ everyone just feels the same age despite the massive age gaps.

When I was in my mid 30's, people still thought that I was around 21. It was very useful for pulling the 21 year olds, as I still looked young, but had job, car, bikes and a flat, and was a bit more mature (well, sort of) than blokes their age. And that is why I now have a stunning wife who is 13 years younger than me.

Skip - aged 32 :cool:
I got ID'd when we went to order food on a Spearies curry night... :(
I am 18, usually get mistaken for older.. Apart from when I order food aparantly..
I think its because I am tall, large frame(beer belly) and usually with people older than me..
Just starting to shave quite regularly... Its depressing.. I fancy some decent trouble..
I would make the most of looking young, just violate the younger(than you) girls it helps you pull ;)

Not older, just somewhere near my age, I mean 23 nearly 24 and looking 16 (and they probably only go for that because they realise im working!) infact to some people I must look under 16, I did get asked if I was over 16 for a lottery ticket... lol
I still get asked for ID, I don't mind, drew minds more than me as if he is with me when I get ID as he says what must they think of him.
I however don't get ID if i buy alcohol with our weekly shopping. :confused:

Looking older than your age sort of wears off once you're past 18...and can legally get into a pub.

Get some sking tight jeans and a stupid emo fringe and you can have any girl at your college :-)
On my 18th i had to be asked to be ID'd and have only had it 3 times since and i'm still 18, you wait all that time to be able to shut folks up that think you're younger and i never get the chance :-(

Novelty of that soon wears off. I know I look young (had just turned 18 when my avatar pic was taken), but nick could get away with being my little nephew :razz: hehe) and get ID'd most of the time apart from certain pertrol stations, the pub near me and obviously where I work. It was great initially, as you say, to be able to shut them up, but now it's just a PITA especially if you haven't got ID on you.
Personally I find not being good looking is more of a problem than looking young..

Someone told you your ugly or is it a passing comment? :p
But Josh is right, 5 years of being I.D. constantly does annoy. Thankfully petrol stations arnt an issue, they see the bike and must realise im old enough lol.
