for your age"?
for having two kids"?
Am I being overly sensitive? I don't want to look good for 34, I want to look good for 25!

I got and get that reaction. I had a Bulldog (English), before my current dog, and actually had people cross to the other side of the street while walking her. I even had one lady ask why I bought a baby killer, when I had 2 children and a small baby. I told that lady off. My Bulldog (Lacy) was the sweetest soul, and there is no way she would hurt my kids. She was very protective of them, and I am sure she saved my daughter one day. A guy came up to our fence and was trying to talk my 7 yr old girl into coming up to the fence. Lacy got between them and started barking. She would not let him in the gate, or let my daughter get to the gate. I went to the door to see what was going on and the man bolted. Lacy got a nice treat that day. I also get this reaction with my Boxer. I am used to it by this point, and though it angers me, I try to educate people. I tell them that my dog is sweet and gentle, just because she is big does not mean she is bad. I let my kids pet dogs that we see out walking, but the rule is they must stay out of the dogs reach till they ask the owner if it is ok? If the owner says Yes I have no problem with my kids petting any dog, but I am always right next to them. I do not want my kids to grow up afraid of animals, especially since my oldest boy wants to be an animal conservationist. Add I guess my dog (boxer) maybe scary looking, but I can not see how with those big droppy ears, and those sweet puppy eyes. I just see the big softy I know she is.

It depends. If it's from family or close friends, then I'd just take it as a joke. If it's from a random stranger, I'd be wondering how they know my age in my first place, but I'd take it as a compliment. There's no need to think on the pessimistic side, get stressed out, and raise our blood pressure. :D

well if you are actually 34 than, yes, you are being incredibly over sensitive.. but if you are 25 you are just being sensitive.

No, i wouldnt. It may be rude of them in come cases, but you got to relize that most people who say that mean good, so just take it for what it is,a complement. But somtimes it is apropiate to feel offended. You can be the judge of that.

It's an expression of surprise owing to them having alternate expectations and being caught off-guard. Not anything to do with you :-) Enjoy knowing what they're thinking

I look quite young. People never guess my age. (30). It's nice when people say you look great. Not you look great...for your age! I would start to feel like I'm old or something!

It would be stupid to be offended.
Every honestly given compliment should be taken in the spirit in which it was given.
Otherwise you just train people not to compliment you no matter what you achieve in life.

Yes, I would get offended. It sounds like a "backhanded compliment " to me.
