So apparently I "look the same" as I did when I was fifteen.

[LaraMN]

Or so says my best friend's Dad. Is this a good thing? I feel it is not. Maybe when I'm over thirty that'll seem like a compliment. Right now, it just makes me feel like a little kid. :eyes:

[BlueIris]

1. I get that shit all the time. Sometimes, people do that to try to

make you feel inferior. Which is what sad, pathetic people do when they don't know how else to do anything but be abusive and condescending toward women.

[anarch]

2. I do too,

I still use my eyes!


Yeah, I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Feh.

[texanwitch]

3. I don't look my age either.

I am 52 and look maybe betweeen 30 and 35 depending who I am dealing with, sometime it is a pain.

I was carded for a long time, at least that is over.

[LaraMN]

4. But I SO don't look fifteen!

When I was fifteen, I didn't look fifteen! See- now I'm developing (another) complex! :rofl:

[miss_american_pie]

5. Did you look older when you were fifteen?

:shrug:

[LaraMN]

7. Yeah- until I was about twenty, people always thought I was older than

I really was, and then suddenly, the perception seemed to reverse itself. :shrug: Wierdness.

[miss_american_pie]

9. Yes

When I went to the doc after my miscarriage, the nurse doublechecked my chart and then told me I looked like I was in high school. That was a bizarre conversation.

[LaraMN]

14. That would be a bit odd! Another weird nurse story;

when I went in to have initial bloodwork done when I was pregnant with Jack, the nurse looked at my chart, saw that I was both pregnant, and had a five month old, and said "Well, that must have been an accident!":wow:

[miss_american_pie]

20. Oh no

Did they ask if both of them had the same father? When I said yes to that question, the doc said "good." Good? :wtf:

[LeftyMom]

6. I get that now too

When I was a teenager I could buy alcohol without getting carded, now I have people tell me I look too young to drive. I can't win.

[LaraMN]

8. Particularly weird when you have a kid, eh?

:P

[LeftyMom]

11. I should threaten to show these people my stretch marks

It'd only take a few recoiling in horror to get them to leave me alone, I hope.

[WCGreen]

23. Stretch Marks are sexy......

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Ya think?

Well.....mine aren't! :puke:

It's a damn good thing the father of my children loves me.....

[Floogeldy]

24. This thread is a lesson in the male thought pattern.

Your best friend's father wants to have relations with you.

I'm sure you know that.

:smoke:

[Bucky]

28. Speaking of male thought patterns, you know what's really funny?

The word "boobies". Man, I just love that word!

[khashka]

10. One day it will gratify you

I'm almost 40 and get mistaken for my early 20's. Which ain't too bad.

Count your blessings, little kid.


BTW, did you put your naughty panties on yet so we can all get back to being pervs without feeling guilty for leaving you out?If not.... hurry, cuz I don't know how much longer I can pretend to be a pillar of morality.....


Khash.

[LaraMN]

15. The "Naughty" ones?

It's summer- it's commando season! I don't know how that translates, but I hate to be left out!

[khashka]

17. You don't fool me!

Every woman has "Saturday Night Panties". Maybe a piece of lace no bigger than a postage stamp, but.......


However your commando comment just made every reasonably straight man in the Lounge prick up his ears.....

And here I was all sad because you were left out of the perv sweepstakes! I shouldn't have worried....


Khash.

[LaraMN]

18. "Saturday Night Panties!"

Ohhhh! You mean THOSE ones! :rofl:
That entails a trip into the "Closet of Fun." I have something of a stash, but most of those are attached to garters, corsets, and the like. I don't bounce around the house in that stuff! Not before ten, anyway!:bounce:

[khashka]

21. You know where the line "Saturday Night Panties" came from?

Before I was born my Repub/fundie mom went to her ob/gyn and when she undressed for the exam he said " Well, I see you're wearing your Saturday Night Panties!" Oh! She was so embarrassed!

:)

Khash.

[Bucky]

26. You'd think gynocologists would know not to flirt with their patients

I mean, does the line "Just relax and pretend you're the Lone Ranger" ever work?

[everythingsxen]

12. Umm

Sorry to have to take a break from my usual "voice of insanity"/"devil's advocate" role and be a voice of sanity, but could it simply be that your friend's dad simply sees you through the colored lens of time and memory?

Perhaps you do not look "the same", but you have aged very well and he still sees you in his mind's eye as that fifteen year old girl.

And BlueIris needs to chill out. That is hardly sexist. People do it all the time (men and women) to any gender. It's simply how memory and reality have funny intersections. IMO anyway.

Anyway...

CTHULU!!

[LaraMN]

16. I think you're probably right on.

My best friend's family is like a second one to me, and I bet he just wants us all to stay his "kids" a bit longer.

[Neoma]

13. Oh yeah?

Well i never look the same.

[Midlodemocrat]

19. I got that right up until my third one was born and I started going

grey. I always wanted to say "I was NEVER this fat in high school"....but of course in high school I wasn't a mom, either.

[Floogeldy]

22. Doubtful

Comparative pics? ;)

[Bucky]

25. Yeh, I get tired of "you don't look old enough to have a 16 yr old kid"

Perhaps they're implying that I don't look like the type of person who could get laid before the age of 25?
