How old you look vs. how old you are

[ramsgate18]

im 19 and have been told i look 35 by a doctor and a focus group of youths discussing whether media fairly represents young people

the lad said all media people are after is money, i responded that my work was voluntary and unpaid, he scoffed saying then how do u afford to live, i live with my parents, thats shameful, 35 and living at home with ur parents, how old r u? i asked, 16 he said, dude im only 2 years older than u

needless to say my ego was bruised

Just taking a little jaunt out on the limb here, but I'm guessing you're not going to find much empathy for that viewpoint.

Awe, come on..it was hell looking so young. I couldn't even get laid, I looked like I was in grade school...

The people in the restaurant heard my friends singing "happy birthday" to me. On my way out, a lady asked if i had hit 72 yet. It was my 90th birthday! Born 5/9/1920. Damn it! Will i ever get over this hornyness?

I really enjoy looking 30 when I am 45, but it sucks at work when people don't take me seriously because they think I have no experience.
