donnamaybe Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 No, I'm not 30 yet. Yeah, but when a guy says you look married it means you don't look lively and full of youth. That's how I take it Honey, it's your attitude of "there's nothing good enough about me in any way, shape, or form" that is causing you to have any kind of unliveliness about you.
Shygirl15 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I want to look really really young, like a teenager. For real?
LucreziaBorgia Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 There are some drawbacks to looking too young for your age. I get talked down to all the time by people my age and a bit younger - people who say stuff and then say "well, you are too young to remember that" and so on, or they'll comment on my tattoos and say "how do you think that will look when you are forty?" (to which I say, well I guess we'll see next year!) or they will comment about their young children and talk to me like I don't have any idea what it is like to have children. They shut up when I tell them I have a soon-to-be thirteen year old. I think it is possible for you to look young like you want, but I guess it depends on what you are doing at the present. Do you dress older? Do you do your hair and makeup like you are older? What exactly do you think it is that makes you look older?
sally4sara Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Some older guy told me that I looked like a "married woman". This really depressed me. I hate how I look. I want to look really really young, like a teenager. I remember this same guy telling this other girl that she looked liek she just graduated from high school. I wish people would say this about me more often. I hate when people refer to me as a "woman" and not a "girl" or address me as "ma'am" It makes me feel old and like I am not youthful When I was a teenager, men were always guessing me in my twenties. Now I'm in my 30s and men are always guessing me in my twenties. The point? Men will always guess you to be the age they hope you are and rarely use honesty when discussing a woman's age. Get over it. You say you want to appear as a teenager? Why? So you will attract pedophiles?
Kamille Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Miss Jones, cease the day for you will never be younger then you are today! And I mean that in the positive sense. Love yourself. Do it. I dare you to. There are some drawbacks to looking too young for your age. I get talked down to all the time by people my age and a bit younger Honestly? I love using my "young woman" look to bedazzle people. I work in a field led by "older men" which means that, at 33, I am still a young woman in their eyes. It pushes me to do my best to be outstanding at my job. I get a thrill at blowing them away and getting them to take me seriously.
Jersey Shortie Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Ugh...Thanks JS for turning an issue about what the OP feels about herself, into a thread about how men are to blame. What in the world are you talking about. I never said any such thing, that it was men's fault for how the OP feels.
clv0116 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 You say you want to appear as a teenager? Why? So you will attract pedophiles? Pedophiles are not attracted to teenagers, generally speaking.
stillafool Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 It's sad when grown women don't want to look like grown women. We do live in a media youth obessed culture but when women don't want to look like women and when men aren't as attracted to grown women, as we have seen certain cases of this here and there on the board, we have to realize that thare are alot of messed up things out there. It really is so, so sad. I wouldn't want to be young, dumb and full of ---well you know, again. I hate it when grown women try to dress like teenagers. it just makes them look older. Miss Jones if you feel this way now and you aren't even 30, I feel sorry for you 10 years down the line. You can get plastic surgery, botox, peels or whatever but the fact is nothing and I mean nothing is going to stop "father time" from doing his job. You should get some therapy now so this won't be an issue later.
