how do u look older

is your hairstyle quite flat/blunt? get it feathered and layered. is your actual face quite mature? (i.e looks like the face of an 18yr old) if so don't hide it behind a blunt hairdo

kristinae's advice is really the best though- move with confidence, talk with confidence, and people will think you are your age. or older.

edit: thanks for telling me, didn't realise! i forgot who said it in the first pace and scrolled down the recent replies, but because alio had quoted it i read her name at the side not realising. god thats twice i've done this today

You are female, I'm suprised you get questioned at all. When i go out with friends, they let females right into clubs without asking the age, we get metal detected and stuff, if we even get chance to reach the door, which i dont because I look 15.

Sorry, but all this confidence stuff is bollocks. Confidence is natural, you cant fake it, and if you act confident you just look stupid and people can see right through it.

"Confidence is natural", "if you act confident"

Reminds me of the Oxymoron "Act Naturally" ie, it makes no sense

a lot of people are actually natuarally confident, but they don't channel it properly. i've managed to develop my confidence in social situations loads in the past few years- you need guts, (or no sense of reality in my case) to be able to do this

I have loads of confidence in social situations, but walking into a club acting confident doesnt get you anywhere, and in most cases just makes things worse..

in my experience, i'f i've been standing in the queue constantly whispering to friends, or looking around everywhere, they're more likely to id me as opposed to if i walk straight in chatting to someone, appearing to take little notice of the bouncers

That tends to work well for me at the one club in town that regularly turns away people that look old enough and have valid ID, but I don't know if that's confidence as much as avoiding the gaze of the bouncers.

a girl i know, when asked for ID in liverpool, actually once said to the bouncers "do I LOOK like i need ID????!"

sufficed to say she was let in no problems
