I am not sure how to take this - I get such varying age guesses. I am 31 and have been told that I don't look older than 21 (and that's usually the case - When clean shaven most people gauge me waay lower than 31).
On the flip side, there are times when I was 25-26 and girls I met would think I was in my 30's :(
- nostrademons 17y agoI think context matters a whole lot. I'm 28. When I'm out with my parents, most people seem to assume I'm in college. When I'm out with older coworkers - folks in their 30s and 40s - most people tend to assume I'm in my late 20s (I never once got carded for alcohol at my old employer, because I'd go out for drinks with folks 10 years older than me). Most of my Google coworkers - who tend to average around 25 - think I'm roughly their age, although when I've gone out with them we get mistaken for college students a lot. I was mistaken for a Stanford student last time I caught the shuttle back from the airport, solo. I still can't explain getting carded for Terminator 3 when I was 23, though. Particularly since I was out with a friend who was a couple years younger and didn't get carded, plus another friend who was much older (50s-ish) and had white hair. Even if I were under 17, it still wouldn't have been illegal, since I was seeing it with them.
