I am a woman, and I hate my looks. I am in my mid 20s. But apparently, I look 15.
1. When getting my nails done, the lady offered wine to all the women there. No problem. But me, she needed to see ID for.
2. When repair men come to my house, the 1st thing they ask is "You are 18, right?"
3. And while setting up said appointment on the phone, at the end, they tell me "Oh, be sure an adult is there when they come."
Not a compliment in the slightest. Rather insulting. As if my self-esteem wasn't low enough, to no-existent, already.
My mother, of course, says it's good. But I tell her it's good at 60, not 20. What 20-year-old wants to look like a teenager?
I am almost wishing for some wrinkles now, or some kind of distinct lining. IO think many people's faces also thin and slim down as the age. I look forward to that, always thought my face was face. Maybe that's the problem.
I feel the same.
but despite that.
You may enjoy it when in your 30's
IMO women should not force themselves to look older.
guys like you women looking young after all.
but too young is bad because they may get charged with being a pedophile.
it's hard on me too because older women closer to my age would find dating myself less desirable
and if I go for younger women... they would think I am a pedo...
well we will just have to live with it for a while.
this is society's problem not ours really.
We take care of our bodies too well,
so we don't age much compared to them.
it's unfortunate they would become prejudice towards younger looking older people.
if we tell younger people our age they think we are too old to hang out with
if we tell older people our age they think we look too young to hang out with.
being younger/looking younger is not the problem
I just blame society with her prejudices forcing me
lie or not tell them my true age for fear of scaring them off.
To feel less of a person because of this truly stupid really.
When I was in my teens and early 20's, everyone thought I was older. I seemed to plateau at 23/24, because now I'm 31 and that's what people guess I am They're always shocked to find out I've cracked the big three-oh.
I'm actually not entirely sure that's a good thing...

I've never known any women in my sphere to complain when a man looks younger. I've heard them complain when a man has better hair, but unless you're on a date and someone refers to her as your mom, I think it's an okay deal.
Very well, I won't declare it since you wouldn't believe me anyway. Instead, people will judge for themselves if/when they meet me and eventually learn my age. I'll just give a couple of examples from my own dating experiences. Of the last several women I dated, they initiated contact with me. Two were online (I was honest about my age) - one was 25 years younger, the other 18 years younger. We dated for several months. One approached me in a bar - she was 27 years younger, and we had a two year long FWB relationship. We didn't discuss age for quite some time, and she was very surprised at my age when we did discuss it a couple of months after meeting.
Looking at your profile picture, I am guessing 63.
People tell me all the time they can't believe I am 21.
I look very young in the face, and body wise since I am thin I guess. Most people assume I am 16. It works to my advantage too because when my friend and I were out, there was this guy who asked if I was 18, I lied and said 16. Lol and he went on to say something really creepy like "I hope I can find you when you are 18." When it comes to dating....it doesn't really matter much. Guys of all ages still hit on me.
I'm always told I look younger, but that's generally how it is in my family (parents and five sisters all look younger). However, I also am very aware of the fact that I'm 40 years old. Whether I look older than 40 or younger doesn't change that.
If someone does look younger, good for them! I would imagine that person is taking good care of himself or herself. If you look younger on the outside, chances are your insides also "look" younger, which is a good thing! If you look 20 years older than you are on the outside, chances are your body's major organs are also 20 years older.
I don't worry about it. Long gone are the days of getting carded for alcohol but then I take a look around and there are some rough looking,pot bellied folks my age so I realize I'm doing pretty good.

As hard as it may seem for women who look younger (and I would argue it's better than looking old for your age in the case of women) it's equally hard and most of the time harder for a guy. When a young-looking guy is in college, who does he even date? His peers will probably look past him because he looks younger than them, I still find it difficult a couple years out of college. Thankfully, I prefer cute, young looking women myself, but I always feel like the kid tagging along. I feel lucky to have the friends I have, but romantically, sometimes I think 'forget about it'.
I'm Asian girl here, Asian-American
And I'm 30, but I look in my early twenties. Everybody say I have good skin, and I look younger than my age.
My BF is 29, and he looks MUCH older than me, eventhough I'm 1 year older than him.
I'm surprise how I can look young though, I sure struggle in life alot and I have a dysfunctional childhood (abusive mother)
Life wasn't a carpet full of roses for me. Maybe it in the gene to look young.
