Would you like it if your 21 and people think your 16? why or why not? i get mistaken for 14, 15, 16...12 when no one sees me...so my point is...would you like looking younger why or why not?

Best Answer

I%26#039;m in the same boat. I am 21 and people always tell me I look younger. I hate it sometimes, especially when people look at me weird when I am with my 1 year old daughter. I%26#039;ve gotten asked if I was 12 when I was 17. It really doesnt help that I am only 5 feet tall.

true. i get weird looks as well. i am sure if i tried to buy beer i couldn%26#039;t and i%26#039;m 21. not to mention people at my library near my house think i%26#039;m in high school still, and treat me rude. i can%26#039;t wait till i%26#039;m 50 something and look 30 something like my dad. right now. it just sucks for now. thanks

• my husband is 36 and he is still mistaken for 19. It annoys him sometimes. most of the time he doesn%26#039;t even notice it
• Its bad when you are young, I remember I was always carded until about 25. But now its great because people say I%26#039;m too young to be retired.
• That%26#039;s wonderful, and you%26#039;ll find out why when you get to be about 40.
• I don%26#039;t want to look that young.
  
  I actually would prefer to look older, and wiser.
• I went through the same thing. It was a little annoying at times but now that I am in my mid 30%26#039;s and look mid 20%26#039;s it is very nice. So I would and do prefer looking young because it is only annoying for 10 years and feels good for the next 50 or so.
• im 24 and people at my job first thought i just graduated high school. i guess when youre older its a compliment. im glad i have a baby face although it gets me pissed off when i go to the strip and everyone asks me for ID especially when Im drunk
• I WOULD HATE IT TO LOOK 16 LOL THEN I WOULD GET CARD IT FOR BEER
• well id like to look tall and not shorte and well im 15 and people think im 18 or 19 and i think its kool but my dad is shorter then me and people think hes my friend some even my brother!! and well if ur a girl well its good to be shorte not all shorte but a little u no?
• No one takes you seriously when you are younger... soooooo no.
• No its harder to find a job - once had someone discriminate against me because I was 21 and the last person they had in the job who was 21 drank and showed up late.Looking older can be beneficial for a job search , but looking younger is not always bad - you%26#039;ll look better longer.
• It%26#039;s having the ID that counts. What it matters to you and why is what counts. What words come out of your mouth shall make the difference to those people of most value to you.
• i%26#039;m 25, people still think i%26#039;m 16. You definitly don%26#039;t get taken seriously. I don%26#039;t like it now, especially when I get dirty looks from elderly people when I%26#039;m shopping with my kids.
  
  It will benifit us when we are older, look forward to that!
