Do People Guess Your Age Correctly?

Heheh, no, not at all usually. I mean, online I've been mistaken for somebody in their twenties several times based on my attitude and everything, whereas in real life I've been mistaken for somebody who is like 16 or 17. My actual age? Yeah, I'm 19. lol

90% of the time, no.

Mainly cause I look a whole heck of a lot younger than I actually am (which is 24 btw, I'll be 25 next month). Not to mention how I dress and act sometimes gives off the appearance of being younger than I actually am, but even during the times when I actually dress up, put makeup on, wear heels and jewelry, there are still people who think of me being younger.

I know that I'll be proud of that when I get older than I am now, but I will admit that there are times when that can get annoying. Especially when you're trying to show that you know what you're doing, but due to your "child-like appearance" people assume otherwise. Those situations have only happened to me very few times, but yeah, they're annoying.

I know the problem. When I was 23 people thought I was 17 or 18 and there were times when it really annoyed me till no end. Now people still guess my age a lot younger but at least I got rid off the 18 problem :lol:

Older, cause I'm Italian and can grow a mustache:)

I've got a HUGE moustache and a beard, and I am still mistaken for a younger guy. Whenever I speak (which is rare), people tend to tell me that I am wise beyond my years, even though I often say things that any old 23 year old would know (lol). I guess hairiness isn't much of an indicator of age in most cases...
