"but if you can't even understand simple english then I'm afraid that you leave me at a loss for words... "

By definition.

I'm not pissed off, though! I swear it! I just happen to be very annoyed...

Bugs ****ing Bunny · March 1, 2003, 03:53

**** it, loin. Anyone valuing ideologies so far over humanity that they're willing to form damning snap judgements and kick people when they're down just isn't worth expending time on.

Bugs ****ing Bunny · March 1, 2003, 03:56

Incidentally have you considered shaving your bush off and talking in a squeaky voice?

Dis · March 1, 2003, 04:03

younger!!

who cares?

If you are a guy, looking older doesn't mean ****.

The important thing is looking richer

Bugs ****ing Bunny · March 1, 2003, 04:07

Loin and me should swap bodies seeing as I've always looked younger than my years. A spot of Grecian 2000 to hide the grey hairs and he'll be a whippersnapper again. I'm disgustingly well-preserved.

Dis · March 1, 2003, 04:12

I still get carded at clubs.

I've been working on the squeaky voice, as per the instructions of the men's chorale director ("Any halfway decent second bass should be able to hit the same notes as the tenors!", which has always struck me as being a rather odd credo -- I'm a bloody human drum, it's the tenors' job to sing like women), but no luck so far -- I haven't been able to squeak since I hit puberty about, I dunno, forty years ago. And of course the bush stays until the rest of the plan is ready.

It's been more of a blessing than a curse so far, that's for certain. It's just that seven years is a pretty big age difference for a 22-year-old. Add a decade and the age difference probably wouldn't matter. Add two decades and it certainly wouldn't.

Drink less soda. Drink more water, fruit juice, and green tea. Change your specs to something younger looking. Dress like a preppie if you must.

Asher · March 1, 2003, 04:58

If you want to be considered young, you should be seen drinking more soda and less water, fruit juice, and green tea.

Two words: Body piercing.

You know what blows loinburger?

I'm in the same boat as you are. I have a bad after-shave problem. Ppl keep on thinking that I'm at least 5 yrs older than what I really am and it takes a really brave girl to ask me out.

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. I spread the word at my workplace that I'm actually 22....not 25, like how everyone else thinks I am. When I meet new ppl and they hear how old I am, they are more receptive to my...um.....social "engagements"

The sh****-a** thing is that for most of us "older" looking guys, we can't look younger unless we put up some cash. The best thing you can do is spread the word that you're NOT the age everyone THINKS you are. Once you got that established, you're pretty much in the clear.

I can TOTALLY empathize with your situation. I went out w/a girl and she thought I was 27. Im freeking 22 goshdammit!!!!....Freeking stubble made me look older.

If you got any more ????, just ask cause it sucks like a mofo when chicks think you're older than you really are.

Provost Harrison · March 1, 2003, 07:58

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. Can't complain at that

Provost Harrison · March 1, 2003, 08:01

...for example, when sat with Stew, most people estimate that Stew is older than I am, despite him being 5 1/2 years my junior

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

Az · March 1, 2003, 10:18

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.

Az · March 1, 2003, 10:40

I've gotta shave more.

Urban Ranger · March 1, 2003, 11:17

Shave your head too

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

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.

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.

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 · March 1, 2003, 12:07

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

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."

Oerdin · March 1, 2003, 12:23

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 · March 1, 2003, 14:55

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