    Im 22..nearly 23...(booo!)....and get mistaken for being older...a fellow boardsie (SHE KNOWS WHO SHE IS!!) thought I was 27...27!!!! 5 years older!

    People at work are surprised at my age too :( think Im older than I am.

    I like to tell myself its because of my maturity :D

    But...I get ID'd for smokes sometimes..and drink in the off license other times...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Oil of Olay time me thinks :(
    I'm pretty sure we had a similar conversation and I guessed you were 30... perhaps I'm thinking of someone else?

    I'm 18 and rarely get asked for ID. Since I was about 16/17 I've been getting served easily enough, also helped that I had the mother of all fake ID if I was asked.

    I'm happy about this now, doubt I'll be smiling in 10 years time... eep!

    Boards mod at 12 - made credibility a bit of a stretch. It was the Counter-Strike board though.

    What is it with people mistaken your age??

    People have thought i was 28/30/31/34:eek:


    I'm only a baby at 21:(


    One or two years either way grand, no problem there.

    But 13 years is a bit much!:mad:

    I'm commonly mistaken for anywhere between 16 (ok once) and 21.

    I'm 29 :D

    Thought you were a lot older too - probably cuz of the "women should only wear certain things at certain ages" thread you posted on. Dude - you're not even 23, a child! Wear what the **** you like and bloody well enjoy it, goddammit! :)

    I kinda think if you think of yourself as older, you'll come across as older.

    I'm generally bearded, but every time I shave I get ID'd.

    It's not fun being ID'd when you're 25!

    Red, call people lass all you want, but drunken switch 360 kicks should be dropped.

    I had a big bruise on my wrist for a week!

    I'm 22 yet most people assume that I'm 17 at most. Was asked out by a 16 year old awhile back and had to tell her that I was 22.

    I've been mistaken for a housewife three times this year so far.
    Once by another woman! Sob!

    You'd think the freckles would though them off in the other direction.

    I'd like to think I look my age.

    30 - At the moment, people tend to think I'm 23/24.

    Red, you seem older all right. You call me "lass" and I remember clearly the year you were born!

    It's a term of endearment Dudess; better than being called an auld dohll at home don't you think? :pac:

    Doubt it, I'm already going grey.

    Hopefully I'll be a classy looking grey haired bloke.
