I want to look old for my age. Can you help?

Question

People always say that I look young for my age but I am now so over that look.
I want to look old for my age. Yesterday I had a blue rinse and shampoo and set and bought some sensible wide fitting shoes.
My mum has given me some smashing support stockings and I've shoved some paper tissues down the legs to create the "nobbly" look. What else can I do to achieve my new look?

Answer 1

You sound very young, and where I come from, what you describe is somebody over 70. If you want to look older but not ancient, do just the opposite. Dress up, shiny nylons and suspender belt instead of granny hose, heels, and fashionable dress, Nobody under 30 seems to dress like that anymore, and you can never pass foe 75, no matter what you do, so you may as well go for middle age glam.

Answer 2

Oh dear!
I have the same problem. No one takes us serious when we look too young. My approach was to attempt a moustache, but it looked like a Blondie Caterpillar had curled up under my nose and snuffed it.
I tried carrying and smoking a pipe and had a tobacco pouch in my shirt pocket, but got a hot nipple when I put the pipe in my shirt as well.
Nothing I tried worked.
I do think you are on your way, though. My suggestion is that you add to all, a large old purse.
There are only 342 shopping days until Christmas, so you might find a purse that is completely new. In that case, you will need to rub sand over it until it looks properly aged.
For the other hand, a black bumbershoot and purse your lips.
That may help to complete your effect and people will come to give you the respect you deserve.
But will all these things get you old age pension? Prolly not, but you could give it a go.

I have this problem also. I find the best thing to do is splash mosquito repellent all over me to get that old lady smell. I had all my teeth removed so I could have some false ones put in. Take a blue felt tip pen and draw all over your legs, this looks like varicose veins then buy nylon flowery dresses and a zimmer frame and you are there!

Answer 4

I would love to help in this worth while venture. However I think that your doing so well. I suppose you coud get your teeth extracted and perhaps draw brown age marks on your hands and neck. Unless you're black cos they wont show then. I think pipe cleaners would look more like varicose veins down your support tights. But it's not funny if you have real ones. So you have to do it in a realistic way so as not to offend us really old people who have real life age deterioration. Unless like me you wear them as a badge.

Answer 5

Its just a phase you are going thru. I alwayse looked older for my age growing up but have went the opposite for some reason. Its just accept and enjoy.Hmm, I smoke and like my beers and that makes no difference. The men I date are like 6 yrs younger average because we dont know the age difference when we first meet.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Smoke a lot, drink 'til you pass out ( do this as often as possible) eat only junk food and spend all day laying in the sun.with no sun protection.
You'll look 40 or more in no time !

good luck !

Answer 8

Sounds like all you need now is the Cherie Blair make up kit and her book "How to look like an old baglady" and you will be well on your way

Answer 9

This has got to be a first in history. While other women are spending those trying to look younger, YOU are asking for advice on how to look OLDER. lol. wearing baggy dresses can help. wearing big, round frame glasses. flat shoes, no make up..a low ponytail. that should help..good look!. lol

Answer 10

Go out in the sun a lot - that dehydrates your skin and makes you look older. Start smoking - that also ages you. Alcohol also dehydrates- splash perfume all over you.
