I just got carded in a store that will dang near sell tobacco to a kindergardener. Seriously...... how old do you think I am? I know not that young, but now I wanna know.

I'm curious...... Sorry no glamour shots or cool photoshop like others here..... Just a quick raw shot for the poll.

You're saying he looks less than a year old? 48 weeks old, to be exact?

<fails to think of witty reply>

I'd say early twenties really but with quite a fresh-faced look so take it as a compliment...

The lady at the local gas station ALWAYS cards me when I buy cigarettes, and I've turning 20 soon.

My vote is you look 23.

I was thinking 23-24 but if you are mistaken for younger - don't complain.

Being mistaken for young is better than being mistaken for someone's grandfather.

Good luck.

That's what a lack of sun damage will do for ya :D I've always worn sunscreen and have little skin damage so I tend to get confused with the younger crowd sometimes. :)

13 and a half. You've had a hard life.

I would've said 26-28, but voted for the younger bracket just to be kind..

27 to 31.

I'm leaning to 29. :)

Edit: Whoops, should have gone to Page 2. :o

I'd say you look 25 years old. People think I'm 12-13 years old when I'm really 15.

I thought you were >30, and was going to choose 32-35.

I picked 27-31 for some reason.

I'm 26 and regularly have people tell me I'm 18. If I can keep hold of that ratio at 90, I'll be lookin' good!

That's an odd face you're carrying! You look old and young at the same time. At first glance I was going to say late 20's/early 30's. But now I'd say 19 or 20ish. Either way you've got good skin if you are an oldie. No crows feet or other likkle wrinkles.

There was a girl at college who looked about 16, turns out she was 34, married with 2 kids. Some people just don't look their age.

when i was 30, i looked 20, and was usually carded for alcohol

i am 44 and look late-30s ... time catches up ... i am starting to lose any traits of somebody in their 30s since my beard, when grown out, is white, and i don't move like a younger person

so to look my youngest, i shave and i keep my hair shorter which hides the white hair, but some of my friends at my age are all white haired and look their age

I've been wondering how old people think I am! I don't want to start a whole other thread though...

so if anyone reads this, go look in the macrumors member picture list and take a guess at how old I am.

good for you! You'll like this when you're in your 40s/50s :)

I'm like you - look way younger than I am.

in fact, 2 or 3 years ago (the last federal Canadian election), I was asked if my parents were home!!!! And then, he asked if I was old enough to vote! (you have to be 18 in Canada). lmao. that was great. of course, i told him my parents weren't home and it was my 1st time voting :)

Don't shoot me, and ~35. :)

As I push on towards 70, you all look more and more like children to me. ;)

Maybe the guy just wanted to see your street address on your drivers license. Find out where you live. Come by and visit.

(Who could that be knockin' at my door? Go away. Don't you come round here no more.)

I guessed 23-26, but 90% of the people I interact with are in that group, so maybe that's just how old I assume everyone is by default :p

20, although I'm pretty sure you're younger than that (maybe 17).

I know you've posted your age before but I don't remember and can't find the post... I'd guess 17-18.

haha! yay! I've always looked older than I really am (and really, I act a lot older as well.)

lets just say, I was born in 1993.

But I agree with acting older, regardless of the lies you perpetuate. :p

You're a regular Miley Cyrus. You definitely look older than 15 I think. Maybe not by much, but older.

oh jeeze, never ever thought I'd be compared to miley cyrus!

Well, I ma be fifteen, but I have a job, I buy practically all my own grocery, and buy my own clothes. If it wasn't for finishing highschool and everything, I'd be outta my house and living on my own.

Really? Damn. I was guessing 17, or maybe 16. You said you were the President of something at your high school.

Don't feel older than you really are.
Act your age, live it to the fullest, enjoy life.

Feeling and acting older made me miss a lot of the fun and experiences others had in the ages 14-17. I could've had that too, but I was so occupied with acting mature and all.
I was thinking only with my head, but should've listened to my heart.

Now I know I'm only 22, but I miss those years and want them back.

Just you wait until you're 26. It ain't no fun at this age, I can tell you.. You drink all the time, carouse with hot ladies and sleep late. It's awful.
