    No. Everyone else on DS claim to look like fetuses though.

    I last got "carded" when buying alcohol at 39, so yep, guess I look young.

    I am mean and old inside, though grrrrrrrrrrr :D:D:D

    Apparently yes but I think I look ancient most of the time.

    I am 32 and regually get told I look a lot younger than I am.

    When I tell people that I have a 13 year old they always say I must have been 13 when I had her.

    I get asked for ID for alcohol a lot as well and when I was 25/26, I was asked for ID when I was trying to buy a lottery ticket.

    I have a picture in my profile so have a look and judge for yourself :D

    My husband is 33 and he also looks a lot younger than he is, especially when he is clean shaven

    I used to always be told that I looked much younger than I am. They stopped saying it over the last 5 years though, so I must have aged.

    It has been mentioned that I have boyish good looks despite my advancing years.

    My wife is nearly 10 years younger too - back of the net!

    People always say I look young for my age, I always say the same to them. Do we actually believe each other :rolleyes:

    I'm a 32 year old man and people guess my age as being about 25-27 which is a nice compliment I suppose.

    I do look after my skin quite well but don't think that my moisturiser is performing miracles (I use Olay Complete SPF15 during the day, and the basic Olay fluid at night), I think it is down to a combination of luck, good genes, and because I look after my skin by exfoliating and using a moisturiser with sun protection all year round so it doesn't dry out or get too much sun damage I happen to look more "youthful" than I actually am - I'm not complaining of course!

    Olay fluid is amazing.

    My aunt uses Oil of Ulay twice a day from about 18. She looks in her late 40's. She is 60

    My mum (2 years older) always looked her age.

    My aunt drinks (high strength lager) and smoked (weed, hash, anything she can get her hands on) and she still looks 10/12 years younger than she is

    People usually say I look somewhere in my early/mid thirties but I am 43. I had very greasy skin with plenty of plooks in my teens. I wonder if that helped. I kept Clearasil in business that's for sure.

    'Zackerly :D

    If anyone asks you to guess their age, you always estimate, then knock a few years off just in case :o

    I used to. I think age is creeping up on my looks with a vengeance, though :(.

    Olay is the only stuff I don't break out with, or have a reaction to - It wasn't based on any family members' experiences, although I had of course heard of other people having great results with it.

    I can't use any men's ranges because they're almost all too harsh with fragrances. My skin even itches using Simple :eek:

    I'm 43 and look about 35. I quite enjoy the backpeddling from people when I tell them I have a (nearly) 20 year old son as they make a comment about me being a young mum then realise that I must have been about 15 or so when I had him (I was 23) and get all flustered.

    I'll prove it with a photo...this was taken in September this year, by my niece. I'm 30 and people often think I look 23/24, something like that :)

    I'm 18, some people have mistaken me for a 16 year old and some stopped me and asked if I was interested to work in a 21+ pub (earlier this year when I was 17)

    My Dad is 47 but cna pass for like a 38 year old. My friends seem to think he is looking like Gerard Butler... and one of my friends called him a DILF.... urghhh

    Seemingly I must look 17, as I never get away with being charged child fares, but at the same time nearly always get ID'd for alcohol/cigs, and the rare occasion that I don't is a joyous moment. I am 20 at the moment, so severely hope my boyish looks remain throughout my adulthood!
