I look very young for my age, what should I do to look older?

[prachanter]

Though I'm not bad looking, I look much younger than I am. The thing that I find strange is, if I dress with nice clothes (I asked a few young female shoppers in a store and they said my selection looked very attractive), I get less eye contact and flirtatious smiles than when I wear old baggy t-shirts and work jeans. Why is that?

What about hair style and length. My hair was was getting shaggy and when I cut it people said I look WAY younger with short hair. What would be a good length and style, that still looks sharp but won't make me look much younger?

 

[prachanter]

It's embarrassing even trying to grow a goatee 'cause its sparse at best.

then go for a moustache

Join the crowd. I look 18 and can seriously pull it off no problem at all.

My advice depending on your age....

Pick up the young hotties and dont worry :yes:

I've done the facial hair thing, and I may look 20 or so, or still 18. Its not gonna change, and it sucks at times because women your age have NO idea at first glance you are closer to 30 than 18. I've had to pull a license out cause people think I lie. One kid thought I was 16.

So then trying to pick up women my age just doesn't work, so I am left with the young ones, and then what happens there is like the article I posted from MSN.

I dont know if we can ever win except if your in college, to meet women in class who at least know your older. Even then I had friends who didnt know my real age.

Then once your out of college, good luck cause you'll go out, and people will be like...WTF is this high school kid doing in this club or bar or what ever.

I deal with it, but all I can say is that attracting more young hotties is fine with me, and then they eventually know my age, but as they say....

Age is only mind over matter.

It dont matter if you dont mind.

Hey, that's the way I look at it. I mean sure I have my... Man it sucks moments where I wish someone 25+ would notice me, but then I start to notice all the young hotties at 18-21 and go.... Its not so bad after all. Then later in life, when your friends are 50 looking 50, you can be 50 looking 30 and be picking up the 25yr old hotties

Because some think I dont age, I dont mind attracting some younger ones because its just how I look.

I have a friend who is 35 but looks 50. TRUST me, you dont want to do that to yourself, so just stay looking young. The pros will outweigh the cons.

And if you think not, just train your brain to think that. People at work hate the fact I can talk to 18yr old women like its nothing, but I say... more power to me.

I had a friend who was 18 once go... You young 16yr old looking SOB.... I am 18 and look 30. I hate you. Stop talking to those young girls.

Dude HATED the fact he looked older than I was at 18. and that I could pick up the girls his age.

Wait.

 

[B4IFURU18?]

Eat more bread crust. It puts hair on your chest.

 

[Mr. Unique]

I have no sideburns.

 

[Oisdog]

bulk

 

[Paintballguy]

I just go for the younger chicks... I'm 21 and I could easily pass for being 17-18, maybe even younger. I love looking young because I know when I'm older, I'll be able to pickup young hotties no problem.

 

[knglerxt]

I have the same problem. I'm almost 26 years old, and people always think I'm a lot younger. I don't like facial hair, so that's out of the question. I guess I'll have to stick to the younger girls because most women my age probably think I'm too young for them.

 

[B4IFURU18?]

Pics of OP plz.

 

[Effington]

Even though I'm in my mid 20's, I still pass as a teenager all the time. I grew a beard and people thought I was late 20's and I even had some people think 30's, so that was a huge difference maker for me.

Unfortunately, I had to shave for interviews, but as soon as I can, I know it's coming back.

 

[sexybeast]

Im 23 and the other day the b*tch behind the shop counter asked me for ID... i was only buying a box of fags... that means she thought i was 16 or under LMAO.

anyway my point is "dont f*cking worry about it" because it makes no difference with the hunnies. i used to think is did but it really doesnt.

i actually put this to the test awile back cuz it pssed me of so much. I would ask ramdom girls how old they thought i was... this was before gaming them. i always got 18,19.

then i gamed other girls with my amazing charm lol then asked how old they thought i was... 22,23,24 every time.

make of that what you will. I love looking younger than i am just need to make sure i carry ID when i go clubs.

Looking young is a good thing. I'm 25 and I hate the fact that I'm now starting to look older than my actual age. I wish for those days when I looked three years younger. But if it bothers you that much, I would suggest wearing shirts with collars, growing out your hair (with sideburns included), and hitting the gym and working out, building your chest and muscles. These tips will help you look older.

 

[Master Bates]

When you're young, you wanna look older. When you're old, you wanna look younger. It's a shame, really. Just be thankful the aging process is being kind to you.

Try being 18 and have to explain and waste time doing it trying to convince everyone you're not 14. Yeah, this happened all the time.

I suppose there are some good things that come from it, but when it comes to women, it can be a bit of an obsticle.

1) If you are just a little younger than most of the people you're out with, don't EVER mention your age. I made the mistake of being honest with the 28 year olds at a singles meet when I was 22- today, and a lot of them freak out about it. Although, luckily, they're FINALLY starting to get some younger women in this group.

2) Sometimes a goatee, beard, or mustache can make you look older. Then again, if you're like me, you look like a hormonal teen trying to look older by growing a mustache. Lol.

3) CARRY yourself as an older person. I will admit that sometimes, I don't carry myself as well as I should.

4) watch what older people are dealing with, and try to match that. If you're talking about paying your bills or having to deal with tech support companies, you might do better than if you only talk video games or parties you went to.

5) Similar to number 4, become a little more worldly. By the time I was 20, I had been to England, Scotland, Ireland, Dominican Republic, and all over the US and Canada. My parents were a part of a travel group for geezers, but I can say that... I've slept in castles for a few weeks... that I loved visiting Oxford, that my favorite place was England... so on, so forth.

Those are some of my ideas. Take them with a grain of salt if you'd like, but maybe there's something you'll get out of this.

Dont put too much stress about your age...

Its great to be young...

emphasise that fact..

bust the girls .. tell them " you're too old for me" .. let them prove to you that they are young...

why the hell are you wondering about your clothes??? If you're getting less eye contact, go and start the convo yourself... think of it , it will give you a hell of a practice about sets which have disqualified you on the basis of your age..

as far as your clothes is concerned.. maybe you get more eye contact in your baggy clothes just 'cuz the girls think you are less likly to pickup on them... they're safe..if you get my drift...


why are you stressing to look older???

emphasise yourself.. dont try to be someone else in any way

 

[Incog]

Wait.

Best reply ever.
