I’m always getting told I look young. The guy at the liquor store told me that today. I wonder how young I look.
Wow, lucky you !
You are young.
Aren’t you in your twenties?
I used to get carded when I was buying cannabis.
I would always ask how old I look. The best I got was 32 yo when I was 38 yo.
But I had a friend in HS and college who’s dad was like 50 years older than him. The cashier carded him for alcohol when he was 70 yo. His reply was, “What, am I too old to drink?”
It can mean all sorts of different things in my experience. Sometimes it can be because you appear shy/timid. Sometimes it can be people flexing their authority. Sometimes it can be because you do look young.
As an aside - I knew someone who easily looked like a teenager (a very short girl) but was actually 35. I was so shocked when I found out. She said she has issues with people doubting her even when she had ID etc.
It’s because I do look young. I’m 30 y/o. I look about 20.
I’m 44 got told he thought I was in my 30s.
I also look young but not young enough to get asked for an ID.
Once though I wanted to buy alcohol in a supermarket and couldn’t. Turns out they had a policy forbidding any alcohol purchase before 10am. Crazy.
last time i got carded i had my hat on. then i took my hat off and joked with the lady that my receding hairline would give away my age haha. she just laughed and said “youre doing good for your age”.
i think my ideal age to look is about 30, but looking younger is good too, usually means good genes or maybe a long life.
i look older when i grow my beard out. almost middle aged, but when i shave i still look fairly young.
must be a schizophrenic thing.
I don’t have a receding hairline yet. I’m expecting it soon.
maybe it wont happen. no use worrying about it. my goal was to make it to 30 years with my hair, now it looks like i wont go completely bald uptop until im in my 40’s. o well. i don’t take meds for it, it doesn’t bother me anymore like when i was younger.
My dad got his bald spot in his twenties. He got a tattoo of a lawn mower. I’ll probably keep the tradition if I get a bald spot.
Maybe but doubt it.
I used to work in a convenience store, and it was really a pain having to ID people for beer, wine, and cigarettes. I was really bad at it, as I would card people in their 30’s and one time a woman who was 42. They sometimes would get angry about it.
I get told very often i look young for my age, im 46!
