People who look so young..

carzony

I'm increasingly been told I look very, very young. I'm 21 but keep been told I look 17-18 :o Is that a compliment or an insult?

If you're a girl take it as a compliment.

If you're a lad, you probably don't and shouldn't care.

BNMC

Definitely a compliment. I'm 26 and people say I look early 30s. Pricks.

Howard Juneau

Sounds like the Ken Barlow excuse here, I thought she was 17 M'lud!

joeperry

I looked older growing up now I look younger than my years. The best way to be

It's probably just people stating fact. You look young.

There you go. Whether you're insulted by it or complimented by it is up to you isn't it?

You'll be glad of it as you get older, go with it!

People are generally shocked I'm as old as I am. I like it

The older you get, the more of a compliment it will be. Don't complain

Sir Osis of Liver.

Have your balls dropped yet OP?

BeerWolf

Wow, a whole few years difference for a compliment! -.-;

Try being 30-40+ looking 18-20!

SCOOP 64

Don't think i could tell the difference between a 18 yr old and a 21 yr age wise.
only 3yrs in it.

dee_mc

I'm 28 and keep getting asked for ID lately, not sure whether to be annoyed or delighted!

Rothko

It's a compliment. I'm 24 and I get told that I look like I'm 16

SCOOP 64

My wife looks very young for her age and is always gets compliments on this, only problem is they always think im her Dad.

Be delighted, and get an age card!

I got one a few years back because places stopped accepting driving licence as ID. Well worth €15. I'm 31 and still have to carry it!

carzony

Is it just me or do men look very young these day anyway?

I've been told I look my age but that I've been told I look younger alright. When I was in my early 20's people thought I was still a teenager!:D

When I was 24/25 I was still asked for ID!? :P I'm 28 now.

BillyMitchel

In my 30s and always told I look mid 20s. Everyone is getting older, uglier, fatter, baldy. I'm just getting better and better.

I was in the US one summer on holiday and while in Florida I asked for a glass of wine, I had no make-up on but they asked for my ID! Luckily I was 21 at the time! Though in New York I had my make-up on asked for a glass of wine and was not asked for ID!? Same holiday and 21. :cool:

Throughout most of my 20's i've been asked for ID at pubs/late bars and nightclubs. Very rarely would I not be asked. I was always asked for ID when out in the cities.

judgefudge

It's a compliment I guess but gets annoying at times. I got asked for ID buying a lighter recently. And a woman called to my door and asked "is your mammy home?"

For the record I live alone and I'm 25. Slightly humiliating.

LETHAL LADY

I got asked for ID in Aldi a few weeks ago. I would have thought my crow's feet were a dead giveaway.

That's happened to me too and I think it's embarrassing. I'm nearly 27 and look 16 or 17.

Well the crow didn't come off any better I'd imagine.

Ilyana 2.0

I'd be grateful for it, OP. I'm 21 and I've looked older than my age since I was about 14. I hardly ever get IDed anymore, it's depressing.

My boyfriend is nearly 27 and looks the same age as me, the lucky fecker. People probably think I'm a cougar or something.

I know the feeling :P

I'm 22, whenever I'm I.D'd, I'm usually told Ilook 14, 15 max. I take it as a compliment.

NicoleL88

I'm 25, and short! So I always get told I look about 16.

I don't take it as a compliment. I find people tend to talk down to me and bang into me on the street and it's very insulting.

And yet so modest!

craggle

I got asked to leave a betting shop a few years ago as I had no id. I was 26 and I wasnt even putting a bet on, the person I was along with was. I still get asked for id now and im 29

Depends on how they say it and I'm still unsure whether its a blessing or a curse. I'm 30 and when clean shaven with a new haircut and I'd get asked for ID buying cigarettes.

Grrr, this really pisses me off :mad:
This happened to me once in Dunnes. Was getting a bottle of vodka, they wouldn't accept my licence. Just took my business elsewhere and went down to Supervalu, where they accept licences. Out of a matter of interest, what stores (apart from Dunnes) don't accept licences now?
I know Aldi, Lidl and the various Supervalus that I've been to accept them.
It's really inconsistent though. My age card was refused in a
Centra too and was told they'd only accept a licence (which I didn't have at the time as I didn't drive).

Im 24 and look about 30. Only friday gone I was queing for a gig in Limerick and the bouncer was IDing everyone. I was actually getting excited and got out my license to give to him and he said "na you dont need that bud, go on in". I went from to there and them.

He probably thought you looked 24.

Earthwalker

I'm 58 and one night last week the Guards stopped me and asked me why I was out so late without my mommy.

Chancer3001

Went to hotel with the girlfriend. She's a few months older than me. 29.

Went down for breakfast, hostess asks me - is your daughter having breakfast? Special rate for under 12s....

foxinsox

I'm 44 and only look about 24!
It can be tough sometimes getting asked for ID all the time, also beating all the young men away with a stick! But I must carry on.














I fecking wish! ; )

shopaholic01

People think I'm about a year old, they marvel at my extensive vocabulary.


:P

Marsden

I'm 17 but my dwarven beard, short stature and wrinkly face make people think I'm as old as the hills.

Chancer3001

The tv show?

Shout Dust

I'm 25 and look about 10 years younger. Combination of being short and having a baby face. Some places don't even accept my ID on its own, need to show them a bank card or something with my name on it.

jimbobaloobob

Told i look young for my age. 34 but look about 27/28 apparently.

Was in the states in 2000 and had to buy a bottle of wine for a friend who looked like santa claus but had no ID with him.

chakotha

Martin Short - the guy is over 60 and apart from a few creases looks like he's in his 30's.

My surgeon the other day looked young under 30, maybe he was.

Would have liked to have gotten his number...

I don't see how anyone can tell any difference between an 18 year old and a 21 year old.

I'm the wrong side of 50, but people are often surprised when I do tell them how old I am, they think I'm late 30s.
