How old do you look?

How old do you think you look? I know a lot of Asians tend to look younger than what they really are - particularly a lot of them are very baby-faced.

When I was a senior in high school, people thought I was a freshman. I think I look about 15-17 at most. I certainly don't act my age (I'm almost 20).

I'm one of those Asians who look younger than they actually are. I look like I'm in the middle of high school when I'm about to graduate from university.

I think I look like one of the youngin's.
My wife always said I looked like I was 79.
Ah, to be that age again.

When I go to buy movies and video games and I'm asked my birthdate, I'm made to show them ID after I tell them. >_>

I'm 20, but I really couldn't make a guess to how old I look (I probably would look younger without the black rings around my eyes) I don't think I look younger than my age, though.

Quite a bit older than I am.

I think it depends on how lazy I've been..meaning, if I've been shaving every morning I look about my age, if I haven't then I look older.

The oldest I've heard is that I could pass for 21. Usually I get around 19 (which is a pain when bus drivers suspect you of cheating the system and you have to pull out about four different concurrent IDs before they believe you)

Someone told me that I look around 20-22, but that's because I'm growing a beard. I think if I shaved I probably look around my age (18 ). I was quite surprised when they told me I looked around 21, because I didn't think my beard made me look that much older. o__O

Without the unnatural-looking hair, I'd probably look about fourteen. I'm pretty short and skinny. I think my hair(which was bright red before it started fading) makes me look a bit older, probably in the range of sixteen or seventeen.

I look about 15, and I'm 18. Anyone who's met me (Kym, Marcus, Rachel), can probably testify to that. So I'm constantly asked for ID when I go and buy booze.

My dad gets a kick out of giving me the money at the bottle shop, then running away so I get asked for ID when I go to pay >_>

I look about 19, which is weird sometimes cause I often forget how old I REALLY am, cause I act much older and have a lot of responsibilities. Saying I'm 17 just doesn’t really seem to fit lol.

Wow, for some reason I thought you were around 21, though I knew you've just started college-ing! I think it's definitely the beard

I look quite young, I think... maybe a year or two younger than I am. I'm part asian, and I hardly ever wear any make-up so that's probably why

My boyfriend is 25, and he looks about 20! Or ... 18! Or... rather young anyway. Everyone's going to be so jealous of him when he's 50.

I'm not really sure. I don't usually meet people who don't know my age already, so I don't get the chance to hear people's initial guesses. I should ask someone.

I suspect I look older than I am though. I definitely don't look younger.

It depends on what kind of mood I'm in. If I'm in my "go away loser" mood I look about 19-20. When I'm happy and with friends I look my age (17). I remember one time when I was maybe 15 someone said I could pass for a 19 year old.
