Do you look older than your age, or younger?

Based on people's comments and personal appearance, I look quite a bit younger than my age suggests. Guess that's a boon later on in life, right?

Got to admit, I'd be a pretty bad guesser of people's ages if I just looked at them.

I look older than my actual age 74
I look younger than my actual age 93

    I tend to be told that I look older which sometimes is not very flattering to hear. I don't think I've ever been told that I look young for my age. The majority of the people who have found out my real age were shocked, some saying that their reasons were because I was so "mature". One of my last teachers, (it was for pottery class) never found out my real age but while having a conversation over what use I could get out of one of my pieces, she told me that I could put wine in there! She quickly added that she didn't know if I drunk, though. I told her I didn't. I considered telling her my age but I could bring myself to do it. Everyone else in the class was older than me and, I guess, I was worried that they might tense up around me if they knew. The thing is is that I was never close with anyone in that class. :/

    I've had a couple people ask my age and then before I can answer start guessing "15? 16?" and I'm like "I'm 24".

    I've always been told I look older but I think that's because people associate height with age and maturity. I'm only 18 but I'm 5'10" and everyone assumes I'm at least 21. I've always been seen as older, I think, because I've been so tall for my age.

    A bit younger. I don't grow much facial hair so it throws people off a bit.

    I'm 25 and people tell me I look 15. It's a bit annoying. I only look older than 25 when wearing make up, but I rarely wear it because it feels like it's a waste of time to put it on every morning.

      I thought looking younger was a compliment for women? Maybe in your thirties you'll enjoy it.

        People thinks I'm 16. That's 10 years younger than my age. I can understand 20, but 16...no..I would appreciate if people thinks I'm younger in my thirties. ^^

    When my hair was blonde, every one would tell me I looked older than my age. I wouldn't even get asked for ID most places.
    Since I fucked up my hair, it's been brown for a while, and now I basically look my age. My aunt told me I look younger than my age, but she still looks at all of her nieces and nephews as if we're like tiny. Lol but yeah.

    Usually people say I look around 23-25 although I am 21. They generally say it's the way I carry myself. It's been this way since I was about 18-19. I used to love the reaction I'd get when I'd tell people how old I was when I was under 21. Some people would seriously ask for my ID.

    Generally, when I was at work, it would get a more severe reaction - What!? You're a FEMALE security guard AND you're only 19??? It was pretty funny. I kind of wish I didn't age out of that XD

    I've always looked younger but as I age, I think I just look my actual age. Depends on who you ask. Some people are terrible at guessing age.
