Gang, I just want your opinion. I want you to be 100% honest with me...I won't hate anyone or give them bad karma. I'm just curious. I'll let you know the reason after a few people answer this thread.

Here is a very recent pic of me. (http://www.mysticwicks.com/photoalbum/displayimage.php?pos=-3274)

How old do I look? No cheating and looking at my birth year, now. :p

Aw drat... I can't answer this. But I think you look younger. ;) Much younger. I want to hear the story!! I wonder if it's as embarrassing as me having to wear a bright orange wristband at the casino. :bigredblu

I wouldn't have guessed more than 25, tops. :) So what's the story?

Mid to late 20's. Based on your hair and makeup (or lack there of)...but you could probably pull off 15 if you did piggy tails and bubble gum! :lol:

Which in all seriousness is a complement!

I'm not very good at the guessing of ages, I'm thinking though 'round 25ish? Eh, either way you're very pretty. :floating:

You still have it coming to you, Gunslinger. Don't make it worse. ;)

Okay, here's the story: I went to the post office on my lunch hour with Sara, the pixie-ish receptionist that I'm friends with here. We both went to the window together, and the fellow at the counter made small talk, ending with "Is she your daughter?"

Sara is 22. I'm 28. We just looked at each other :foh:

This is like the third time that someone has thought I was at least 10 years older than I am. It, frankly, confuses me... :whatgives:

I agree, mid 20's like me :) Oh do tell the story!

I get that all the time. People either think I am 38 or that I am 19 ( after they get to know me )

I was going to say 30. That's not too far off then.

I'm 27 will be 28 next month, I feel 30 but look anywhere from 20-35 depending on the day at least that's what I think.

Holy crap!! That's horrid... :hugz: I'm bad at guessing age too, so I refrain from any comments about relationships when I see two people together. :D

But you're not 28! And I'm not 27. But we will be next month. How scary is that?! :eek:

Personal remarks like that will almost always get one in trouble, best not to make them. I don't mind looking younger than I am and wouldn't mind all that much if I looked my real age (52). But at a garage sale this morning a woman started giving me a sales pitch to look at some clothing that she just knew would fit me because it was all 3X. She just kept going and going, showing me the clothes and telling me how nice they were and how good they would look on me. When she finally took a breath I told no thanks, I wear a 1X, so they were quite a bit too big. I was wearing a loose 2X shirt and showed her how big it was on me. She wouldn't give up though and said how comfortable clothes are when they're a little loose. A little! I hate being given the hard sell by people who have never met me but think they can tell what I would like.

Crikey! :hairraise

Maybe they thought SARA was alot younger than what she actually is. Making you a 28 y/o mom. :)

Y'know, Terestai just said the same thing. She is adorable as all hell, and she wears glitter and Hello Kitty jewelry...if I do the math, perhaps they thought I had her at 16? :hmmmmm:

Boogins
August 26th, 2004, 03:34 PM
I'd say that's a good chance. Hello Kitty...?

Avalon
August 26th, 2004, 03:37 PM
She had this necklace on today, in fact. Has matching earrings and a ring, too.

Boogins
August 26th, 2004, 03:42 PM
Yup, they definitely thought you gave birth at a very young age!!! :eek:

Most people tend to think I'm younger than I am. Not a bad thing, but still puzzling.

Well, she probably looked really young.. You do not look old at all, Avvy.. You should have said..."So, are all people at the post office dinosaurs??"

Feel lucky. I can't go out with my mother without someone asking ME if she's my daughter. I stand a full head taller than my mom, and I guess it's just something about me that screams "mommy-type." I mean, I am, I have two kids, but my mom doesn't LOOK young. She definitely is starting to look her *almost* 45 years, and I'm only 25. (Oh, thank Deity my mom would never read this forum! :lol: ) I just reply "No, but she is my kids GRANDMOTHER!" and watch their faces turn beet red.

When I went out with my Grandmother they thought she was my mom. When I was 13 people thought I was 18, now people think I'm around 25- Except those that card my husband and not me. I hope I age like my mother and grandmother, gram didn't have wrinkle and grey hair until her late 60s, my mom doesn't have any in sight yet (she's 52).
