Why do I look younger than my age?

Question

I'm 23 and I look like I'm 19 or 20 ... all my friends look their age, but not me ... will that ever change?

Answer 1

Judging by your avatar, you're probably like me, dark colored. If a lot of your friends are of fair coloring, they age faster than you. Just look at Johnny Depp, he still looks amazingly youthful compared to Greg Kinear, who is the same age but light complected.

So go with it. I know sometimes it sucks, when I was 30, I couldn't get into a bar because I forgot my i.d.

Answer 2

Trust me...that's a good thing. :) But just appreciate it. Most women go through thousands of surgery's to look younger than there age. As long as you act your age...you should be fine.

Answer 3

That's not such a big difference...

People's growth is completed by those ages, and their skin is still youthful...

So, although you (or even any other people) think you are a little younger than you actually are, you don't yet have a reason to think you have good genes.

Answer 4

I'm 22 but have been told that I look 15. Appreciate it. just act your age and don't let appearances define you

Answer 5

well in ten years' time, you'll probably be glad for it! i have a friend who gets kinda upset when movie staff won't let him into over-15 movies, but i tell him "hey, in 20 years' time, we'll be all old and wrinkly with grey hair, and bar staff will still be asking you for ID!"

Answer 6

I'm 102 and I look 98! I'm so tired of people asking for my ID at singles hangouts!!!!

Answer 7

In 10 years you won't want it to change. Don't worry about it.

Answer 8

You'll be happy later on =]
