--- Quote from: ems on 29 Jun 2011, 18:18 ---Not to detract too much from the argument, but has anyone else done the math? 41 - 13 = Dora is OLD (okay, so 28 isn't THAT old, but it feels like it because she doesn't look it at all).

I'm going to be 30 years old tomorrow and look like this. You really can't go by appearances when trying to judge someone as "old" until the crows feet/gray hair start showing up.

I have crow's feet and I'm only 23. I also get told I look older than what I really am. So yeah, it's all a matter of opinion.

I stand 6'5" tall, medium build, and am 26 years old. I still get carded at bars and restaurants.
Perfect example: Last year, I'm out with friends celebrating a birthday party, and there's 15-20 of us at the table. I watch as the waitress goes around taking drink orders, and when she comes to me, she asks to see my ID after I order a rum and coke. I was one of the last to order, and I was the only who got carded. Everyone else at the table was within a couple years of my age (me 25 at the time) and over 21.
Hell, there've been a few instances where I've almost taken out my military ID for a second ID-check at some bars when I see the bouncer raise an eyebrow as he looks at my driver's license (and I have my pilot's license on tertiary reserve). I really, really do not understand how and why most people think I'm years younger than I actually am.
gangler:
People pretty much started assuming I was an adult as soon as I grew the unkempt beard of a savage. To this day people start thinking I'm some pubescent highschooler when I'm cleanshaven.

watching the streaming channel, it looks like today we'll have a taste of the SMIF party with Hanners and Marigold... :-o

I'm 28. I get told pretty often that I still look 19. (I don't, but I do look to be in my early 20s.) Whenever I'm in a group of early 20-somethings, they are always shocked when I tell them how old I am, and apparently often think I am younger than they are.
A month ago I went to get dinner with someone who was a former student of mine, and I got carded and he didn't. (He was kind of pissed off about that, haha, he's only 22.)
Meanwhile, I've known people who looked to be in their mid-30s ever since they were 18. It really does all depend.
pwhodges:
People can misjudge ages at any stage of life; I'm often taken for ten or more years less than my age. Here's me last weekend.
