:D as the peter pan of sheffield it seems some people think i can pass for 8 and a half years younger than i am!

:o

must be my air of innocence and childlike enthusiasm :rolleyes:


any other oldies who can pass for much younger?

No, I'm more alarmed that people sometimes think I'm older than what I am...

Damn Cheek :rant:

Im only 21, I just look 26 :(

I aint happy when people say I look and act about 21, although I suppose if they still knock 10 year off when Im 41 I guess Ill be happy, Hmmmm.....:)

I still get asked for ID and I'm 31. Got asked for ID to buy a scratch card not that long ago..

I wonder how long it will last... ;-)

The way I see it is that's only 3 and a half years, because you always get 5 years free for politeness from the person who is making the statement.

The most astonishing example I have of this is a bloke in Merthyr Tidfill, I used to visit every six month on my rounds around the country for my job. I thought he was about 30, but he turned out to be 49. There wasn't a mark on him, he was like a wax model. His life down there was so slow and stressless he really did have a much slower pace of life. He used to ask me about life in sheffield, and was completely shocked when I told him about things which weren't shocking at all. Had obviously led an extremely sheltered life.

The best one I've heard is 19! Made up by that one!:clap:

I'm 25 and have successfully passed for 17. It kind of shocks people that I have 2 kids :)

I got asked for ID when i went to get my tattoo done... i was 32 at the time... there's me thinking you have to be 18 :o

Another time i went out with a crowd... i happened to be the eldest... they all walked into the club an i got stopped by the doormen an questioned for id... charming :? I was 26 at the time an the other's aged between 16-24...

Mind you the other day i was told i looked about 23 an i'm almost 34 :hihi: suits me... :thumbsup:

I pass for my own age, 28... But heh, as long as I can pass for being over 18 and get served in pubs I don't mind how old I look.

When I was just 16 at college I had real trouble getting canteen snacks at the under 19s cheap rate. But I had no trouble at all getting served in a pub. Nowadays, nearly 2 decades later I look younger than most people my age because I don't have any kids and I don't smoke.
Smoking alone adds years to any face, you can always tell who smokes with their dried up faces and screwed up eyes.

i guess a lot might be down to me not drinking alcohol or smoking

ahhh well ... im not ready to be a oldie just yet :D i think i may just start telling people my age is something else....saves the usuall 5minute conversation trying to convince people lol

I'm 17, I usually pass for a couple of years older....

I'm coming up to 65 but I'm told I look a lot younger and peope are surprised when I say my age--they reckon I'm in my 50s. Must be down to the full head of still dark hair I have (something in my genes, no doubt) although my beard is grey. Plus I'm quite slim so that might help me look more youthful.

Inside, I'm afraid, I haven't really got much beyond my teens...

I'm 23 i got away with 20 and 29.
peopleusually place me at 25

When I was 16 and working many moons ago I used to get mistaken for a child and given half-fare on the tram. This caused me great embarrasment. I longed to look older and know everything I fixed on 24 as the age to be
Now I'm at tthe other end of life I find I like being mistaken for younger and I still do not know everything.

I don`t really know anymore since I shaved all my hair off.

Always have been told I look about 5 - 6 years younger.

I am 31 now and some people still call me things like youyh or young-un :rant: GGRRRRRR :rant:

With beard and hair I look my age, but with shaved head and no beard I look a bit younger, say 30 ish.

..............................

I always thought I looked my age [43]. Yet last year a market researcher stopped me, thinking that I was "under 35". My wife explains this with reference to the lady's "white stick and Labrador". What on earth can she mean?

It must be the short trousers and hanging around school playgrounds that really does it ;)

I have been told I look 18 in a job interview recently..which for a girl of 30 is kind of nice.... :thumbsup:

I was told by customers at my work, that I look like I am 17! Thanx for the compliment from them!! Everyone seriously thinks that I am only 23 yr. old, i'll let them believe that!!:D :D

When i was a house owner at the age of 29/30 (i think...) i placed an Avon order... left the book on the doorstep before leaving for work... so she'd never seen me...

Anyway knock at the door its 'MY' avon order... "Is your Mum there" she asked... excuse me i thought to myself... with that i left the door "saying just a minute" got my money an paid her closing the door with a smile... :D

The cheek of it honestly lol

Upon checking in the mirror this morning, I look and feel about 45. Oh dear...

Kristian,
Do not forget that the forty-somethings have their own, special beauty. You are probably being very modest here, anyway. I imagine that you are a porcelain beauty; pouting, lissom, fragrant and gorgeous on all planes. In my case, sadly, I resemble "Ray Winstone on a bad day", according to my thoughtful and caring wife.

Erm... I think Kristian is a man...

Still, I suppose you can still be a porcelain beauty AND have a penis...;)

I'm sure you're being modest also timo, and on reflection you're correct, I am gorgeous! :D

im 21, but sometimes pass for 20

Miss,
I did know that! Just trying to build up Kristian's confidence, that's all. Actually, Kristian is correct about me, to an extent. I once WAS 'gorgeous', with deep blue eyes, a washboard stomach and the general demeanour of a proud, rutting alpha male. Now, subject to the aging process, I have "filled out" a tad [though not fat], and apparently look like "Ray Winstone on a bad day". There are worse things to look like, one supposes. Still, my best days are behind me at 43, there is no doubt about that [cue violins etc].

rather that than Peter Stringfellow on a good day.

Or Peter Stringfellow per se, Nicky my old fruit. By the way, you are looking full of British spunk on your new avatar! Dig the hat, baby!

November 2003 I went into the Victoria Wines on Prince of Wales Road. It was filthy night and belting it down with rain. I had a baseball cap on and my collar up and was wet through. I asked for 8 cans of Stella and half a bottle of Whisky. The guy behind the counter looked at me and said “can I ask if you are 18?” For a few seconds I was lost for words.

“No! I’m not 18” was my reply “I’m 45!” “oh” was his shocked reply.

Last spring I was having a drink in my local with my son. He was 19 at the time and I was 46. I came back from the bar and noticed my son wasn't sat at the table. I asked where he had gone...to which someone I'd just met that day piped up "your brother has gone outside to answer his phone". :)

I can pass for a woman in my 20's, even though I am much older!! LOL:D
