MissJoness Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I've had men ask me this when approaching me. What does this mean? I typically don't ask people their age.
dreamergrl Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Maybe you look younger then your age? Maybe they don't look their age, and are interested, but don't wait to date to far off from their own age? Maybe their just making conversation.

Maybe they don't look their age, and are interested, but don't wait to date to far off from their own age? Maybe their just making conversation. Okay. I've been approached by older men and they ask me how old I am. Maybe they were expecting me to be younger or older. Not sure. Just makes me a little insecure.

Author MissJoness Posted August 13, 2009 Author Posted August 13, 2009 May I ask how old you are, and if you look younger or older? 23. I look my age. Does it mean something that they ask?
Thaddeus Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 You may appear younger - that is, underage - and they don't want to get in trouble with the local constabulary should they ask you out.
Author MissJoness Posted August 13, 2009 Author Posted August 13, 2009 You may appear younger - that is, underage - and they don't want to get in trouble with the local constabulary should they ask you out. Okay, that makes me feel better. I thought maybe they were hoping I was 18, and was disappointed to see that I look to be in my early 20s
dreamergrl Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I think they were just trying to figure out how old you are - like the above said... close to 18 ... or maybe they don't want to go to young. I'm 27, and I get told quite often I look 22. When I was 16, I went to the Bahamas, I got told I looked 12...
Citizen Erased Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Okay, that makes me feel better. I thought maybe they were hoping I was 18, and was disappointed to see that I look to be in my early 20s Unless they're 18 themselves I doubt it. And if they seem really disappointed that you're not 18 or younger you know to run.
LucreziaBorgia Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I'm 39. My picture is in my profile. It was taken a few days before I went into the hospital - about two weeks ago, I guess.
boogieboy Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Im 37, I look like Im 26, I always get carded, and people on this board would probably agree, (and I admit) that my mentality is that of a 23 year old.
Trialbyfire Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 More than likely, these guys are trying to figure out if you're legal drinking age or not. The older the man, the less likely he's very good at gauging your age, since the span might be in multiple decades. At 34 years old, I find it difficult to tell the difference between someone who's between the ages of 15 - 19 and 20 - 24ish.

Citizen Erased Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I wish I looked my age. I feel like I've looked the same since I was 16.

Trialbyfire Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I don't believe your 34!!I am 34. Actually 34.5+ now.
Trialbyfire Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I wish I looked my age. I feel like I've looked the same since I was 16. Are you being sarcastic about my comment? If so, you know I meant that anyone between the ages of 15 to 19 look the same and everyone between the ages of 20 - 24ish look the same. Not that people 16 look 21!

hoping2heal Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Listen OP, I'm pretty sure after that R.Kelly incident, most men are carding anything that looks to be under 25.
Trialbyfire Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 No, seriously I think I look 16. No you don't but you do look somewhere between 20 - 24ish. I recall thinking that way when I was 21, as well. It used to really bug me.
dreamergrl Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I am 34. Actually 34.5+ now. You old lady! jk
Trialbyfire Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 You old lady! jk You should see my mother if you think I look young!
dreamergrl Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 You should see my mother if you think I look young! My mom was like that too before she got sick.
Citizen Erased Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 No you don't but you do look somewhere between 20 - 24ish. I recall thinking that way when I was 21, as well. It used to really bug me. Well that's good, I'm almost 22 so it's about time I started looking not like a teenager. It used to bug me more but now I'm savouring the moments of being carded, saving them up for when I need it.
boogieboy Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Based on the youtube clip you linked the other day, you definitely look like you're under 30. TBF you make me blush...
