    I am 21, and I am constantly mistaken for my mother's husband (she's in her late FORTIES) and/or my sisters' father. I usually don't even get carded when buying alcohol, either. I personally think I look my age, but many people disagree by their misconceptions, I guess. >_>

    23, someone asked me for my license to see a rated R movie though recently. That's 17. I was very clean shaven at the time though too.

    I'm 22 and people have told me I look 16. Once a 12 year old girl told me she had a friend my age that might want to hang out with me.....Her friend was 13....and I was 21. lol. I was like "Sorry but I think I'm a bit too old."

    I personally don't think I look 16 but it's the common consensus that I don't look 22.

    I definitely don't look 13, lol. Young kids and older adults tend to get it wrong the most. I think realistically I look around 18 or so.

    Ha! I wish I looked younger -- Ever since I was about 16 people have thought I was approx 4-5 years older than I am. And as I seem to get older the gap between actual age and assumed age grows.

    It's funny because I look at myself and feel I look my age or relatively close to it. People always guess my friends younger and me older -- so I must look like the creep who hangs out with young kids. Currently I am 25 but people always guess for me for late 20's early 30's.

    I'm 15 and I'd say people could think I'm 17.

    oh, btw, I am 16 years young.

    28 at the time of this posting.
    But people frequently assume I'm in college, and visitors to my workplace have been known to assume I was an intern. So I'd say I could pass for 21 or 22...

    I think most people say I look a little older because of my height :slight_smile:.

    I am 15, but I look like I'm in my twenties. My mind seems like I'm in my thirties while my philosophies feel like I'm on my seventies :grin:.

    I probably pass as a bit older than I am, though not by much.

    I think I look like I'm around 17. I might look older than my age when I haven't shaved in a while, but I doubt I'd pass for 21 or older, because I'm barely 170cm (5'6") and I'm quite small.

    I'm 21 and most people assume I'm about 15 or so. At the camp I worked at last summer some of the kids thought I was one of the older campers.

    I'm 18 and I don't think I look older or younger.
    A while ago I was asked if I was in high school though (I'm in my second year at college).

    It really depends....most of the time people think I'm maybe around freshman age, but sometimes they'll think I'm about 20 because of the way I act.

    The instance that sticks out in my mind most, though, is about a year ago when I went to a really nice Asian restaurant with some older friends and they gave us crayons and coloring activities. =.= I even paid my own bill!! LOL
