When did you look like an adult?

I'm 18, and I personally still feel like I look young (maybe not younger than my age, but definitely not older), but it seems every time my girlfriend and I go out to eat they make a point of giving us a wine list (and she's even younger than me!). We've decided that it's probably just in case we're old enough, but were we to try to order anything off of it they'd card us.
 
I dunno. I always get conflicting answers from relatives and friends. :eek:

I still get carded, but that's mainly due to laws stating if you look x age and under they'll card. :p
 
TBH I think it depends where you are.

In Carlisle I never get IDd, but I was in Preston last week and I got IDd going in, then at the bar everytime I went to get a drink. (Which is a lot of times)

At out local cinema I sometimes still do as well... :confused:
 
I first remember becoming a man when I killed a full size grizzly and the Shamen smeared the bears blood on my face in front of the whole tribe.

A proud day.
 
When I was 14, I was constantly mistaken for a college student due to my facial hair and being 5'10".(only 5'11" now though) I could get my friends into R-rated films without needing a fake ID.

Now that I shave, I have to actually show my ID (I'm 18 now, so it doesn't really matter). Anti-aging?
 
Around age 15 or so. I went from having waist-long hair to having a shorter, more updated 'do. Made me look like I was 23, according to my mom.
 
im 20 but i have been mistaken for being in my early 30's a bunch of times :eek: ... maybe in intellect but hopefully not in looks :eek:
 
I'm 24 and don't think I look like an adult yet...like most of the other people, if I don't shave, I look older but I wouldn't say I look like an adult necessarily. Probably more like a kid TRYING to look like an adult :)
 
I'm 22 and people say I look like I'm in high school (or even middle school!) :(

Okay, I have a strange question for all you here today, I am a teen, 17 as a matter of fact. My question to you adults out there is: When did your body fully mature? At what point did your face and form appear like it stays until you get really old (over 60)? I hope you know what I mean. Because a person that is 28 looks different when they are 30. If you know what I mean please post here. I know I didn't use the best description but yea, please bare with me here on this one. :D

Well if you're 17, you're 25 years younger than I am.

I'm not sure because my face really hasn't changed since i was 16 i guess it's been "Formed". I get carded at some places and then other places don't card me.

I'm 30 though but someone asked my partner if he was my father and he is 31 years old :eek:
 
I was able to buy beer from a supermarket when I was 15 (18 is the limit here) even though I didn't think I look like an adult. My look has changed pretty much during the years so it's hard to say.
 
I started losing my hair and going gray in my early 20s, which obviously 'aged' me. But more along the lines of what (I think) you're talking about, my facial structure and body filled out in my late 20s.
 
I've got a weird face or something. I could buy alcohol when I was 15 because I was tall and had facial hair, yet my school buds still called me baby face. I don't look 24 now but I keep a bit of facial hair so I don't look like a kid.

My girlfriend has it bad. She's 24 as well but was asked by a pub landlord the other day if she wouldn't mind leaving because she looked underage. Discrimination or something!
