i am 29 and people guess 19 sometimes. only when they know my profession they guess my real age. my body is very lean with body fat percentage 5.6 (bellow 10 is not supposed to be healthy) and i have this childish face. but i like it. some of my classmates are now bald with potbellies Smile we look like there is 20 years difference between us.

Read my age to find out how old I am, I look like I'm about 11 or 12, if you ever look at me, you'll know what I mean!

I seem to have stopped aging in highschool. Or perhaps I looked young then too, who knows. People often mistake me for a highschooler. Ok so I'm still young, things could change. But come on now, I graduated 6 years ago!

I have never heard one way or the other, I assume that I look my age.

Hopefully I'll turn out to be one of those attractive older men Laughing

i know someone with As who is 50 and looks about 38. no wrinkles on his face and he has one of those expressionless faces that i see in some people with AS. i don;t have that - i have the othr extrme - a face that is overly animated> However, I am told by people in the art scene here thati have a kind of perennial childlike quality - an insatiable thirst for my career and special interest that knows no bounds and is like a kid in a candy store. but that does nto translate to a lack of wrinkles, unfortunately.

I'm 34 and when I was 32 the guy who sat near my desk at work was in shock when he heard me talking to my husband on the phone about our kids. Apparently he thought I had just left school and was still living at home with my parents.

That made my day. Wink

I guess I look younger, people say I look 17. However, I'm growing my beard out again for the entirety of winter, getting real grizzed out. That'll probably push my age over the 21 mark I reckon. You guys can make your own judgements though, my grisly visage is in the "Post a picture of the real you" thread.
