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

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

BNMC · 15-09-2013 02:14PM

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

Howard Juneau · 15-09-2013 02:15PM

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

joeperry · 15-09-2013 02:16PM

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

15-09-2013 02:29PM

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

Have your balls dropped yet OP?

BeerWolf · 15-09-2013 02:30PM

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

Try being 30-40+ looking 18-20!

SCOOP 64 · 15-09-2013 02:32PM

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 · 15-09-2013 02:34PM

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

Rothko · 15-09-2013 02:36PM

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

SCOOP 64 · 15-09-2013 02:40PM

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!

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

im 25 and tolled all the time I look only 16

starlit · 15-09-2013 04:02PM

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 · 15-09-2013 04:03PM

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

starlit · 15-09-2013 04:07PM

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 · 15-09-2013 04:11PM

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 · 15-09-2013 04:15PM

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 · 15-09-2013 05:16PM

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 · 15-09-2013 08:07PM

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!

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.
