How can I make myself look younger?

[Bosh]

turns out that the guy with spaghetti on his trousers is actually me

Looks like it could be the hair, you'd definately look younger with a crew cut or something.

You're just a cutie, provost.


I am 18, and people always tell me that I look older than I am. Am I happy about it? NO. Some estimates of my age:

30
35
28
25
24

Poor man. I look younger than I am, so people tend to think that I am mid-twenty-ish. But my SO, people still think that she's like 16. Got funny stories about people going into her clinic and think that she's the daughter of the doctor.

I've gotta shave more.

Shave your head too

That was my original plan, but getting women to take a gander at my nipple piercings is half the battle...

Anyway, what I've found out that helps is that you gotta get the girl you like to KNOW that you're not the age you look.

Yeah, I've been doing that a bit, but I'm going to have to step up my efforts on that front. I thought that it was enough for me to say "This is my first quarter in grad school, I just got my BS last May" (something I was able to bring up every time somebody asked me about my major or my research or whatever -- it worked as a good "I don't know" answer), but apparently that won't cut it -- the girl I went out with last night thought that I'd spent about six years in the army or industry or wherever before going to college, and she's not the first to have made that assumption.

I've had one of these rare perks - when I was younger I always looked a good bit older than I am, and now I am older I look younger than I am.

Bastard! My older brother's got a similar perk -- he used to look his age, but for the past eight years he's been aging at the rate of six months per year. When my brother first met his fiancee she assumed that he was her age (18) while he assumed that she was his age (21). I'd have paid good money to witness the first date that he ordered a beer with dinner... Apparently (according to her) the first thing he said upon discovering her real age was "Good Christ, you're younger than my brother!"

Yeah, I got one several months ago, but if you ask me I'd say that it makes me look even older. I look like a convict or a drill sergeant or something. That's why I'm thinking of bringing back the 'fro.

And let everybody see my lobotomy scars? Not on your life!

Piercings wont necessarily make you look younger. They could make you look like an older man with piercings, which is generally viewed as pathetic.

Hair: Get a spikey, gelled do.

Could work could work, I did like my old mohawk

I think I look about my age (21) but I look different enough from my ID photo (thinner, shorter hair) that I've had people think I was trying to sneak in by using an older friend's ID and not let me drink

[Starchild]

It's so simple you'll kick yourself for not thinking of it.

Just bathe in the blood of virgins every full moon.

Actually, I have a very short hair.

Maybe you could say, "I bet you couldn't figure out how old I am. If you can guess within one year, I buy you a drink."

[Dinner]

All you have to do is dye your hair purple and get a nose ring. Wait, strike that because then you'll look like an old guy who is despritely trying to regain his lost yougth.

Nice one. I could have killed two birds with one stone -- told her my real age and figured out if she's a boozer. Ah well...

Plus, if I changed it to "I'll bet you a drink you can't guess my age within one year," then I could've gotten a free drink out of the deal too. Hell, I'd even have given her a three year pad, just so that she'd believe that she had a chance in hell of guessing correctly.

[SlowwHand]

Have a "significant other" that's 20 years older than you.
