I'm turning 38 in two weeks. Most men my age are fat, balding, have much facial hair, and wrinkles. You can clearly see that they are 38, unless they are a model and then you only see their touched up photos or they use makeup. I have never used any anti-aging products nor have I lived a totally healthy lifestyle. I even smoked for over 10 years. However, many people swear that I look more like 25 than 38 and they often demand to see my ID. Before the newer plastic credit card style IDs came out, I used to have to sign a book whenever I went to a bar or bought alcohol at a store stating that if I were caught for minor in possession, the establishment that served me could not be charged. Most people would probably kill to have this condition. But trust me, it is more of a curse than a blessing. Because I look so young, I often attract younger women who freak out when they find out how old I really am. Women my age don't want to date me because they look way older than I do. I am wondering if I don't have some kind of hormone imbalance or something. I have searched the internet for anyone else that has a similar problem, but cannot find anything about it anywhere. There are hormone imbalances that age you quicker, but none that age you slower. It only seems natural to me that one could not exist without the other. I really need to know if there is a possible health risk or if there are others out there like me.
I was carded when I would go to buy beer all the way up to the age of 30 so it is more normal than you might think.
you probably will appreciate it more when you get into late 40s/50s though, that's when some people seem to start getting really self conscious about their age, and you can put that off somewhat.
But thinking in a positive side, you will look young when you are old, it is a good thing!
Give it more time, as I have to, to be sure. I'm currently 25, I haven't physically aged in 5 years now. I have many more.. "abnormalities" beyond just that though. I've signed up here considering seeing if anyone has some answers.
I am 33 and most days I appear to be 17 or younger.
I have been disrespected by people who thought I was a teen mom. I have been ignored by sales clerks who think I was a teen just browsing. I( have been talked down to. And I have put on weight - ON PURPOSE- to try and have a more mature look.
Female peers think I am lying about my real age- and men overlook me because they think I'm jail bait..... Even my son says, geez mom - you look as young as some of the kids in my school (he's in middle school).
I'm tired of being called "sweetie" and "that girl".
I've been searching the internet and I
I've been searching the internet for years and I found NOTHING....NOTHING! I think that's weird in itself.
Feel free to contact me. I'm intereested what year you were born and where you were born.
I have a CRAZY theory. I don't share it with many people but since you're the only person I've found on the net with the same issue....I'd love to explain it to you. Warning...it involves vacines and government experiments in the early 1970's wih babies.
I'm not nuts, possibly just an overactive imagination but yet something tells me you and I may have a lot in common! brady969@live.com
