Tired of people thinking I'm still in highschool

Terminal babyface. I'm 22 and get carded for anything that will ever require ID.

Tried growing a beard. Made me look like Shaggy in Scooby Doo. Dramatic decrease in female attention and still would get carded. Try dressing to look older when you're a guy? Oh yeah, I forgot that makes you look like a kid playing dress up.

And no, there's no cure. On the bright side, I can pick up 20 year old girls when I'm 60 if this keeps up.

I'm 36 and I still get it occasionally. For some reason it always pisses me off too. Probably because I've wanted to be a crotchety old bastard all my life.

In all seriousness, both happens to me. Sometimes people think I'm still in high-school and others they think I'm older than I am. It's kinda weird.

A dueling scar will add years to your appearance. So will crystal meth, cigarettes, and booze. But they take a little while, dueling scar is instant.

Holy **** yrkoon, you DO look young, you really look like you are in your mid twenties.
Its also really weird to look at pics of you cause you look like a person iv known since i was a little kid, cept you aren't balding by your late 20's. heh.

Get AIDS. It will make you look 20 years older instantly.

I'm 28 and get carded all the time even though I think I look pretty old

Depends where you go, some places card all the time and some don't.....when I used to have a life and go out. Early twenties here, people think I'm late 20's quite often. Running joke with the lady is that I'm the old perv.

Must be my smoldering good looks, handsome jaw line and deep-dark-introspective-slightly hurt-intense eyes.
I need a more grown up wardrobe...hmmmm.

Heh heh! Better get used to it. Bout ten years ago I was tending bar at a pub near Dartmouth College on graduation and class 0f 33 reunion weekend and I had some geezer ask if I was graduating with that class. I was forty three.

Wah wah. Looking younger is better than looking older. Hell, when I was 17 I looked so old I used to be able to go to bars and not get carded. When I was 19 and had a ponytail a teenage idiot asked me if I had been to Woodstock. Now that I'm 28 and have a Grizzly Adams slash Unabomber beard (I was kinda going for the Rob Zombie look, but whatever) girls ask me if I'm 50. Of course, then they ask me if I have money.

Meh, with a shave and buzzcut combined with my dorky glasses, I can look like a big geeky kid again.
