Yeah, I'm 34 and I get ID'd all the time, probably because I barely grow facial hair. I was actually able to easily count how many facial hairs I had until about my mid-20's, and it's only within the last few years that I've been able to grow a mustache slightly better than a pube-stache and a mediocre chin-beard. Plus my hair hasn't really receded at all.

I was kinda shocked when I found out I was slightly older than Steven Miller, since he looks more like he's in his 40s or 50s

Don’t try to grow facial hair, friend. It’s not worth it and will not look good. (Guy that regrets all 20 year old pictures)

I'm late 30s and I'm always being told I look like I'm in my 20s. I get talked down to all the time, especially with career advice, by people my own age. Lots of 'when you get to be my age' type poo poo. Inside though I feel like I'm pulling up to my 50s or 60s since I have a bad back, my supervisor is near 70s I think and we have the same back problem which we often discuss our treatments and tips and tricks about.

No mystery or age defying regimen, I'm Asian so I'll probably look younger than I am until I hit 60 then overnight I'll look 80 while walking down the street bent over on my cane wearing my members only jacket as is tradition.

i'm part asian but also part hawaiian so, like keanu, i will look like i'm 20 years old until i'm 70, at which point i'll look like a white 40 maybe

Hey asian brothers. Im early 30s but my hair is starting to thin out up the middle. So much so that my dad bought me one of those hats that shoots lasers into your scalp so your hair grows back. I have some annoying right shoulder impingement that comes and goes, my right shin still has the concave dent in it from falling off my dorm bed while drunk, and one of my front teeth has a crown on it from when I got hit in the face with a beer bottle. I feel old as gently caress.

lol no

A couple years ago a cashier at a corner store called me “kiddo” when he gave me my change. I was 34 with a beard.

I grew my beard around age 30 when I started getting sick of being carded for alcohol but it seems to have had no effect whatsoever. Prior to that, at age 26 I had been carded for buying a Swiss Army knife at Walmart where apparently the minimum age for buying knives is 16.

I’ve always been really small and young looking for my age though. In middle school some classmate told me that the bus driver almost didn’t let me ride home because he thought I was lost and should have been on the kindergarten bus. For years I thought she was bullshitting me but I just recently dug up my 6th grade yearbook and holy poo poo I genuinely looked about six years old.

My hobby used to be "videogames" in my early 20's so I looked like poo poo. Now I still play the occasional videogame but now my hobby is "the gym" so I look amazing. Consequently, at 32, I look better than all my peers that I know

It's strange, to be fit

It's like people auto-respect you so much, even if you've done nothing to deserve it. It's quite amazing

Nope! I've noticed people calling my dad young and he's in his 60's. As soon as you are 10-15 years older than someone it seems to be automatic. I was at a funeral a couple of years ago and a little lady came up to talk to me about the guy who died. She said "Sure he wasn't that old, he was only 74." She must have been in her 80's or 90's.

It's also relative to where you are. I worked in a healthcare facility where the dominant patient was quite elderly, so we'd frequently refer to people in their 50s and even 60s as "quite young" simply because they had their mental faculties and could use the bathroom by themselves. It is automatic if you're 10-15 years older though. Like I don't think of people who are 20 as children, but something about them really looks like a child now that I'm that much older.

My girlfriend and I are 3 years apart but she's tiny and once during election time some party promoter stopped us in the street like "sir, vote for us so your daughter's future will be a bright one". To be fair he was like 80 years old and probably going purely on size, although then again he could have been anywhere from 40-120.

Such dreadful things should not be said even in fun.
People’s guesses for me used to skew a few years too old, but I got the impression that I could go either way and it was more about demeanor: I seemed competent (flattering!) and also kind of low-energy all the time. By the time I reached 24 or so, they started getting it more or less right.

The fact that this guy is “a motivational speaker, entrepreneur and former daytime TV presenter” all tracks 100% for someone doing a publicity stunt this dumb. Apparently he also ran for office as a member of his own political party and got zero votes.

I used to think I was good at guessing ages, but after spending a while on tinder I found that there is a lot of variance in how old people look - either that or they're lying about their age. I'm 26 and I'd say I look about that age. I don't get asked for ID at bars (drinking age is 18). I don't ask people to guess my age, it's not really a game I can win. If they guess too young, I think they're probably being polite, and if they guess too old then I've just been told I look old.

I never ask either but me and my older brother hang out a lot and people routinely think he's my younger brother so it comes up pretty frequently when they ask. :shrug:

I haven't seen the episode but are you sure they aren't just saying ma'am with an English accent?
