I get told I am younger looking on a semi regular basis. I only take it as a compliment.

I definitely take it as a compliment when I am told I look younger than my age. Most people guess that I am 25-27 but I am 34.

I've had some tell me I look like a teenager.lol I'm not that young looking! But yes, it's to the point where they start to argue with me or want ID, and I have had mostly 20somethings after me in the past. I think it's partly how I dress and when I was in my twenties I dressed horribly, too dowdy and dark lipstick on my pale face. All wrong.lol But I eventually learned how to dress myself, and love the compliments too! It's nice to know I might be doing something right ;)

When I was in my early 20s it used to bother me some. I grew a mustache to try to appear older because I kept getting carded even in my mid 20s when I would go in to buy a lotto ticket. At 36 the mustache is now long gone and when a women tells me I look young, it makes me want to give them a

It can be a pain! Take it for what it is. My mother was injured recently and I had to go get her weekly lottery ticket and the guy behind the counter made me go get my ID and then apologized and told me that he really didn't think I was going to give him one.
It can be a bad thing if you are 28 and look 18. I suppose I will like it when I am 50 and look 35 , but for now it can be an issue. I have been told that I am too young to take seriously buy guys younger than I am.
OP: It looks like you are trying to dress younger from your pics. If it really bothers you then try updating your look a little. That said, I understand the trouble of the baby face! I don't think that the dimples help my case either! Just be glad that you are not getting hit on by boys that are not old enough to drive (more than one recently)...it is a bit awkward regardless of how tactful I try to be.

When ever I use that line is when I am trying to pick up an older woman because she is devistatingly hot and i would like to get together with her. Honestly, most of the time it's a way of showing interest atleast from me So I would say it is usually a compliment (at-times in seeking further interest) and still a compliment in the same

When people ask my age I always have them guess it first...usually they guess me to be around 25-27 :D When I tell them Im 31 I see the same face as sticker shock...LOL

I cant wait to reach 40...and be looking 30...but the grey hair on the sides will add years to my young looks.
Oh well..reguardless Im all :D :D :D :D :D :D:D

Hell no!!!!!!!!!! Tell me I look young for my age anytime! I dont think they are accusing you of lying, I think they are just being nice and opening conversation. Plus,...........you do look young! ( hope I didnt offend you) Just kidding....but when they say you look young just say this" thank you, I take care of myself. Good luck

Kneehigh66,

No, not at all. I was more referring to the hat and super short sleeve shirt. That style just is more indicative of the younger generation, IMO. No one should wear white socks with sandals or granny anything! Flowery dresses, on the other hand, I love :).

When someones tells me I look young, I take it as a compliment. Recently, a patient of mine asked my age and when I told him, he said "damn, I would've lost my house in that bet!" -- it was kind of flattering. I guess I have nothing to worry about then when I turn 50 and people still think that I look 30. Yes, I still get carded.

I get that all the time....in one way it's a good thing it....I don't look all old at my age lmao.....but on the other hand I think it's a turn off for some women who are my age and look much older than me.......in any case I'm happy to still look young.

Never see it as an insult! It happens to me all the time (I'm 34 and, according to most, look in my 20's). Revel in the knowledge that you'll look 40 when you're in your 50's and 50 when you're in your 60's!

Now... i must say, though, that the one draw back has been that people have accused me of lying about my age. But then... why would I want to do that?

I get this a lot and it's not an insult but a compliment. I realize I don't look my age and if they think I'm lying, fine LOL. Who cares? :)

What is NOT a compliment is these young early-20s guys who hit on you and tell you all about how they love "older women". Uh...piece of advice - don't call someone you're hitting on, "older" LOL. Big turn-off, even if I were into that age group. What is very sexy is a guy in my dating age range (my age or slightly younger) who thinks I'm attractive knowing my age and who thinks it's hot that I look young.
