P.S. Sorry about the lame title, it was supposed to read 'How old/young do people think you are?' but the server wouldn't accept it :rolleyes:

Most bouncers think I'm underage (17 or younger) lol, which I'm not, I'm 21 :p: and I usually have to show about 3 forms of ID :rolleyes:
And this is all despite me standing in at over 5'7! :eek: :rolleyes: Lol at least I'll get cheaper admission into theme parks I take it :biggrin:
I'm 18.

Judging from my appearance, most people think I look younger. Some people thought I'm 14.

Judging from my height, people think I'm about my age.

I guess it's advantage the fact that most people think I look younger, because that means I won't have to worry too much about looking like an old woman anytime soon, or wrinkly skin and such. And apart from the occasional spots :p: , people say my skin is very nice. So that's a great thing too. :biggrin:

I'm 17 some people assume I'm younger and some people thing i'm my real age
I'm 19 and most people think I look older - normally anywhere between 21 and 27.

Most people think I'm much older. On my 15th birthday someone asked me if it was my 18th :rolleyes: I also get mistaken for being the older sister, when my sister is nearly 21!

I find it an advantage because it makes it easier to get in places :biggrin: Well, I'm 18 now so that isn't a problem, but it was good when I was 17. I'm 5'10 so it's probably because I'm fairly tall.

I'm 17, and people won't let me buy 15 films, so I guess that means I look 14. Its the dimples, dammit!

I'm fairly happy with how I look at the moment... people usually guess the right age but occasionally some think I look older!

I'm 22, but look about 18/19.

I've always looked younger than I am, and if that means I'll look 30 when I'm 40, it's fine by me! :biggrin:
I'm 18 and i'm 5"2 so people often mistake me as being younger just from my height, but people say facially i look about 19/20, but i do usually get id'd most places.
Before I turned 18 I never, ever got asked for ID, so I guess I must have looked older than I actually was. However, when I went out the night after my 18th birthday to celebrate, I was asked for some ID. I whipped out my provisional license and showed it to the bouncer, but he told me it was 'obviously a fake' and wouldn't let me into the club. I was mortified. It absolutely ruined my birthday celebrations as we ended up having to go into a horrid little club which was full of pervy old men. I hate bouncers. My ID was real!!!

I look young. Never used to though. When I was 14 I got served and everything was fine. Now though I'm forever being asked for ID. Even when buying 15 rated games.
It does depend on who I'm with though. If I'm with friends that are in their 20's who all look young as well nothing is ever said bar the occasional bar manager on a power trip. But if I'm out with people more my age (17/18) I will always get ID'ed. Would make sense if it wasn't for the 17/18 years olds looking older that those in their 20's.

I don't really mind about looking young though.

well i get id'ed going into clubs, but not going into bars, so i guess that means i look slightly younger than i am.

Also it depends what hair cut i have, at the moment i'm growing my hair, and i get id'ed all the time, when i get it cut and stick some gell in it, no one every id's me.

silly really. :smile:
Sometimes people think i'm older than i am, sometimes they think i'm younger. I don't understand it.

i personally think i look younger than i am but then when i go to clubs/pubs i didnt get id'd at 20, yet someone who is 26 (and looks it) did :rolleyes:

everybody always thinks i'm younger than i am, whenever i go to a club I always get IDed even thought i'm 18. Best thing is, the day before my 17th birthday I was still being charged Half fare (14 and under) on trains and buses! I guess it's something to do with being 4 foot 11. lol :biggrin:
As soon as I turned 13 I got away with being 16...as soon as I was 15 I got away with being 18. As soon as I got over 18 people started to think I was younger than I really was! Maddness! People who meet me online usually place me as about two years younger than I really am. I must be immature :redface:
yuki

So because you didn't WANT to pay everyone else who uses the trains or buses or pays tax has to subsidise your use of them.. I just think that's bloody selfish and inconsiderate. Not something to be proud of.
