As with most polls, ipsa explicat.

People usually think I'm within a year or two of my actual age. I'm 17 years old and most people have guessed that I'm between the ages of 16 and 18 years.

I just turned 17 and I would say that I look between 13-15. It also depends on what I am wearing. For example, I got kind of dressed up for New Year's and the waitress at the dinner I was at said "Are you having wine?" (the legal drinking age is 19 here). She also seemed kind of disappointed when I asked what kind of non-alcoholic drinks they had. However, a "child" is considered someone 13 or younger at the movies by my place. I actually have to ask for an adult ticket there as they will usually give me a child ticket. Once, when I went totally alone they asked "how old are you?" I was 16 and it was a G-rated movie.

Was 26 when I became a mum, people always acted like I was a teenage mum, with occasionally embarrassing misunderstandings with healthcare people who assumed I wasn't old enough to be married/in a stable relationship yet.

When I was in my teens and early 20s, I looked older than my age. At 40ish, I look significantly younger than my age - grey hairs excepted! Apart from the grey hairs (which I could dye if I wanted to, my apparent age has changed very little in 15-20 years. Even not dyeing my hair tho, people usually pick me younger than I am.

I looked older for my age when I was a preteen, but now, I look young for age. This is only over 5 years.

I used to always look much younger than I was, but as I've gotten past about 45 I've started to look more my age. I'm almost 50 but I could pass for early 40's. Possibly late 30's in certain light, if I'm rested and have the right hair and makeup. I don't have any wrinkles at all yet, but my face is a bit saggier than it should be. I'm also noticing a lot of age spots and wrinkley skin when I move on my hands, arms and thighs.
