How old do I look?

4. I'm not 25.
Edited on Sat Sep-17-05 03:23 PM by ZombieNixon
I'm 18. I'm barely old enough to buy cigarettes and porn (neither of which I care for). I played softball with this chick yesterday and she swore up and down I was a grad student!

On edit: I love your sig, BTW!

43. At my age, calling me things like "old" doesn't bother me.
Same for "fat" since I'm probably the farthest thing from it.

45. I didn't mean old at all
You look more mature than I do and I think that's a good thing.

46. Oh, OK. Thanks, then.

'Cause this guy said I was fat in the elevator yesterday (he was obviously joking) and I just laughed it off. On the off chance that I'm not in some sort of reverie and actually hear what's being said, 99.9% of the time I won't be offended, even if it's deliberately insulting.

12. The first one was me setting up my Facebook page
and trying to hide the fact that I hadn't shaved for two days at that point.

6. I'm Indian.
We're genetically hairy people. All those pictures were taken at about 10 in the morning, only a few hours after I shaved.

but I've always enjoyed growing having one. :)

18. I hate excessive facial hair and shaving,
but my distaste for facial hair ever so slightly outweight the pits of shaving.

Mostly it because I don't like the way facial hair looks on me, so I shave if I'll be going out that day, but, for instance over winter break last year, I didn't shave and it was AWESOME. It felt kind of cool, I felt so deliciously unkempt, plus it gave the skin time to heal, so shaving for the first time in January was a breeze. I only wish my hair didn't grow so fast, so I wouldn't have to do it every day.

23. I'll bet your beard does look great for a young man's...
I've been letting mine go for length for several years and it's almost to my belt. It wisps out at the longest parts. To make a record I'd probably have to braid it to keep from pulling it out when I roll over on it in my sleep. :-(

24. Ouch.
I have this weird spot under my chin where the hair grows slower than anywhere else, so after a few days, there's this little circle where it looks like a bald spot. On the bottom of my jaw! :shrug:

10. Yes, actually. I would. I didn't make it to a party last night.
Edited on Sat Sep-17-05 03:14 PM by ZombieNixon
People always seem to think I'm seven years older than I really am. I had a girl turn me down on a date when I was a freshman in HS because she though her parents wouldn't let her date a 21-year-old ('course, if I had a 14-year-old daughter, I wouldn't let her date a 21-year-old).

On edit: Gee, I hope I didn't look like 16 when I was in fourth grade! :D

16. Wayne was the go to booze and smokes guy in 9th grade
He was mature looking enough that he was never asked for ID. Facial hair helps with the look. Wayne was blonde with reddish bread hair-not a group people associate with hirsuteness. I'll bet he's sportin' a skullet now.

25. Naw, that will work in reverse once you hit 25 or so.
When I was younger, I was told I looked older. Now people tell me I look like I'm in my young 20s when I'll be thirty in a year.

What do your parents look like? Mine have a young look, so I imagine it will be similar for me.

Unless we're both just running into people who have no idea what they're talking about.

26. I couldn't really pass judgement on that, since I grew up knowing exactly
what age they were and taking my judgments of other adults from what I knew of my parents. My dad's 52 and I think he looks just like 52. My mom's 49, but I bet if she dyed her hair black she could pass for 30.

I had a friend one tell her she looked 19 when she was 37 or so. 'Course, he was like 6, so I wouldn't trust his judgement.

I'm 18. Twenty-five is respectable. I can deal with looking 25. It might even be a good thing, but looking twice your age just entering college, is...a little weird.

'Course, there is a guy in my Computer Gaming Club who's a sophomore and has the same male pattern baldness as my dad, so...:shrug:

Maybe I laugh too much. I'll probably be wrinklier than an elephant's scrotum at 50.
