I'm 22 and I look like I'm 16?

[Anonymous]

is that bad? I'm short, I don't weigh that much, and I have small boobs. I'm pretty sure the bouncer at the bar I go to every week thinks I'm using a fake but doesn't care enough to say anything. It bothers me that I look 6 years younger than I really am and sometimes I worry that the guys who hit on me are closet pedophiles because I look so much younger than I really am. When I tell people that I'm 22 they look at me like I'm crazy. Even when I fly security looks at me like I must be using a fake ID.

Don't worry about it. Very soon you will count and praise the stars in the skies you have such a youthful appearance. I, too, was like that when I was younger. When I was 25, I still looked like I was 18. I once went to a bar with a group of friends. I saw on the menu, 'peanut butter sandwich' and wanted one. When I ordered it and a Michelob, the waitress carded me and still couldn't believe I was old enough to drink. Now, in my late 40s I still have no gray hair---none. Most men my age are graying at least some but not me. I still look like I'm in my early 30s. It's a blessing.

I have the same the same problem. I am a 22 year old guy that does pizza delivery. I get so many jail bait girls giving me their numbers because they think I am 18-20 years old and then I tell them my real age and they freak out. I don't even have girls approach me at bars because they think I am under drinking age too. It sucks, but at least I know I will look good when I am 30 because I will look 25 or younger. Embrace the youthful looks because a lot of women look much older than what they are.

Haha, I have the same issue. I went to fix something at a store with my dad ( I'm 24) and the 16 year old clerk hit on me. Not just once, for 30 minutes and could just swear he saw me recently. In front of my dad! LOL! I didn't live that one down for a while.

Im the same. I'm 20 and I've had school kids ask me out, thinking I were there age haha. It's pretty embarrassing. But I guess it's better then looking too old for your age!

[jujubeetzzz]

Maybe its how you dress and carry yourself. Also my sister says eye makeup makes people look older, good idea if you want to look older use a little eye liner..

[kevlar]

Dude, don't bug out. That's a frickin good thing. I wouldn't want a chick that is 22 and looks older. Go figure.

[Cartiphilus]

'dude'? I've never referred to a girl as a 'dude'

[itsweird182]

I am 21 and look very young also, I get weird looks all the time when I try to see a rated R movie or when I buy a pack of cigarettes. View my pics for reference.

Know how you feel, but I've always been told enjoy it.

[manzur3007]

[Cartiphilus]

'buddy'? A girl asked this question/

[cutekid]

Dats d way its mean 2 be,God made it that way and accept it,.everything that happens has its reasons..

[cacapisu]

I think it's that a really good quality.

However you are right, a 30 year old approaching you would be kinda questionable...

Unless you give a chance to guys your age

[PukaShellPrince]

Oh well is all I can write. You're built the way you're built. If you're actually worried about the genre of male you attract, why not go to a place with stringent rules or try anonymously conversing with the opposite sex via the Internet. It can prove quite useful. This way you know the person appreciates who you are for who you are sans the way you look. As a side note you can help sting opperations with however young you look.

You think guys that hit on you are pedophiles because you look 16?

Fuck off. 16 year olds look like adults except are smaller and cuter.. I'm only 17 but I know (nearly) all older men like teen girls. Pedophilia is the attraction to prepubescent children.. Which would mean like before 10 years old even.. How can you call older guys attracted to 16 year olds pedophiles?

Anyway, you're lucky you look like that. Guys like young looking girls.

If you're in your 20s and like 16 year olds something's wrong with you. As someone who's not 17 I can tell you that most men don't want to date 16 year olds...once you're a little older you'll realize that. You can't know what men want because you're still a boy. But thanks for the oh so insightful input, now go do your history homework and practice for the SAT's

"If you're in your 20s and like 16 year olds something's wrong with you." You're a women. You wouldn't know. Of course they don't want to date 16 year olds.. But they are still physically attractive to older guys. 16 is only 2 years less than 18 obviously. Not much difference. I don't know what the SAT's are.. Assuming that I'm american?

I am a 22 year old that has to have my mother talk to the dentist over the phone for me because they think I am someone's 11 or 12 year old kid playing a prank. I am 4 foot 9 inches and still look like I belong in middle school. I get kinda worried that I will be alone for my entire life being the crazy dog lady.

Must be a drag, change your look dress differently so you look older...

[Asker]

I dress the same way everyone else does and I still look younger than everyone
