Now I am in shhh, category 5 myself and you know what I still get carded. Now after hearing for years how I really look good for my age, I am just darn tired of hearing it. Now I don't go to clubs or bars so much nowadays, because nothing is as disheartening than talking to an early twenties cutie who comes up to you who is obviously interested until the conversation turn to age. Nothing will take the smile off her face and mine as quickly as when they find out how old, yeah old, you are. Age might be nothing but a number but damn, those numbers are beginning to add up....sigh ('') Ah hell at least I look good for my age

lol, sure sure...no, im not joking I believe u, I seldom see 30-40 yr asian guys with balding heads and big stomachs, hmnn, ok, ok...alrite, except from the policemen in my home country...they have bulging bellies, to much beer?maybe...thats wat they get for corrupted money i guess, haha

when someone asked me how old i was, i'd almost always say 20... and i just turned 22, still had to think before i answer. but when ordering alcohol, they always asks for my id.. one time we were wine tasting at some vineyards, they asked for my id when they just let my 18yo cousin drink without checking his id.

Thanks Learner, I don't feel so alone anymore and maybe we're the oldest around here.

Well, somebody has to be the oldest, just as somebody has to be the youngest.

And JadedAngel, maybe you feel more at home here.

I definitely do! The older I get the more I lose touch with those even just a few years younger than me.........

This is then not really a generation gap. I guess we've to think of another/new description for losing touch with people only a few years youngers.

Too sad though.

Yes, but I've been on the end of both situations, and neither one leaves me feeling any better. Luckily for me most days I pass for no older than 15, 17 with makeup, until someone questions it....I just wonder how long this will hold out. I dread the day when someone'll call me "ma'am".......

Do you really look that young? Enjoy it, but the day that they call you ma'am will come sooner or later and it will hurt you for sure. But wisdom comes with age

And you can't stay in touch with everyone, you're developing yourself all the time, so do other people, no matter what their age or background and friends also drift apart because of other interests, hobbies, work and education. It's natural and I shouldn't take it to hard. You'll meet lots of new people with whom you'll feel happy.

I'm still having problems when people call me mister or sir. I feel also a lot younger than my age. But then again, I meet a lot of youngsters who don't have the courtesy to adress me properly.
In a lot of cultures they have respect for the elderly, here in our civilized culture everybody has to be good looking, young and skinny otherwise you can forget it.
You are what you are and if people don't like you because of your age or looks, too bad for them.

Turning 30 this year. I don't have a clue if I look my age or not.

Once in awhile someone mistakes me for a college student. But that immediately gets me thinking, "Is it because I look young or act young?!" I am an Asian female, so I suppose it's expected.

I'm 17 going on 18. Apparently I look older than my sister, who is 19. But then again, maybe she just looks young.

Yes, i do look that young. I try to deny it sometimes, usually when people start picking on me, but just even doing things like voting or buying a lottery ticket requires me to show ID. Usually its not a problem for me except the I get hit on a lot by high school boys who don't know. Yes, I know I better enjoy it because I know there will come a day when everything will change. But if I'm like my mother, she's in her 40s but people think she's 33, it won't be for awhile................And I understand what you mean by the respect thing, I see it happening around me often.

I'll have to say 100

Anyhoo, for one of my first teaching assignments one of the kids came up and asked me if I was the new grade 7 student (he didn't know I was his going to be his teacher...lol) - I was shocked...grade 7 means someone's about 12 years old. I know I look really young but 12 years old! Another time someone - my doctor's receptionist thought I was 13.

Kind of sucks though - it's harder to be respected when they don't think you look old enough to even work or go to university.

Lookig younger/older than you're really are can be an advantage and in some situations a disadvantage. You have to make the best of it. But I think you much better off looking yonger than older nowadays. Does your mother sees this as a problem, looking 10 years younger. It's also different whether you're in your twenties or in your forties.
So enjoy your young looks. You can't win them all
