How to look older for my age... I'm 20??
Question: I'm a male, almost 20, and I look very young for my age. I'm 5'6 , not super short, and just went from 105 lbs to 125 lbs on a weight gaining diet. Most people would guess I look 13, and if it wasn't for a midget in my senior class of high school, I would have definitely been voted Most likely to be mistaken for a freshman by a longshot. I'm going into sophomore year of college now and look very immature for my age still. I work at a courthouse and one guy asks how old I am. When I tell him I'm 19 he didn't believe me. I dress mature too, have mature hair, and even walk maturely, so what else can I do to look more mature for my age. TIA
Answers: Why do you have to prove your age? I can understand the frustration of having to explain yourself. However, creating the illusion of maturity is in itself an act of immaturity.
You are blessed with a youthful appearance and many would give their right arm to look young again. Companies make billions of dollars selling products that claim to reverse the inevitable aging process.
Accelerating your body's natural aging process can have an undesirable affect in the long run. Over-tanning can lead to unsightly wrinkles, sunspots, or worse, skin cancer.
Just be yourself and be proud of who you are. Don't let one guy change you into someone you are not.
Good luck!
As some on who looks significantly younger for his age (I'm 33) as well, my advice would be to grin and bare it. I know it sucks, I agree, but people used to tell that me I'd appreciate being carded or asked my age when I get older. Speak for yourself, huh? lol
One thing you can try, that doesn't do damage to yourself like smoking or getting too much sun or tanning (all of which will age your face) is to grow a mustache, beard, or goatee. I realize that there is the possibility that you may not be able to grow facial hair but it's worth a shot. I can't grow a full beard but I can grow a goatee and I have to admit that it does make me look at least in my mid to late 20s. Without it I probably look barely 21. I have had my goatee for nearly 13 years and it has been the best thing I have done to help myself look like someone who is not a teenager.
1) Grow some facial hair
2) Dress maturely
3) Cut your hair short
4) Continue weight training
Thats about all you can do. Hope that helps.
grow a beard
Sun tanning can make you look old !!!
just tell people, well I am 20 and its good I look so young,maybe when I am 40 I will look like I am 20! and see how they react to that, lol....thats what I do, I am almost 30 and get asked for my ID to buy ciggarettes!
Just be glad with how you look, because I'm 17 and look like I'm 23. I have never been carded for buying my friend's cigarette or my brother's alcohol. If you want to, put on some more weight (muscle not fat). That got me to where i am now.
My suggestion would be to dress very professionally. Do you wear glasses? If so, I've noticed that a round frame can make one look younger - try out some more angular frames with straight lines.
Otherwise, if nothing else you try happens to work, embrace your youth! Just think: when you are 40, people won't believe it. ;)
i would suggest growing a beard. and dont worry its good to look young this means you will age graicfully.
