I'd think that that would have the opposite effect -- that people would think that she was younger than that I was older (i.e. that they'd instinctively try to normalize our ages).

No. It might mean she was rode hard and put up wet.

You know what? I've always looked 'around' the age I am, but that's not really what I want to talk about. I want to talk about turning 20. I'll have been in existence for 20 YEARS!!! Jesus, that scares me, even more than turning 19 did. 19, I had my birthday, and I didn't even really think about it - I brushed it off... But I can't believe that I'm actually making it this far...

Turning 18 hit me, but none of my birthdays since then have had the same impact (not even 21 -- that was just an excuse to get drunk, and excuses to get drunk are a dime a dozen). I'm guessing that the next b-day that I really notice will be when I turn 25 -- my brother's turning 25 this august, and he's dreading it. ****, a quarter of a century! I say Goddamn!

Better than the alternative, isn't it?

The first thousand years are the hardest. After that, you barely notice your birthdays anymore.

Avoid stress. Worrying about getting old is killer.

By the way things are reckoned in my extended family I won't be an adult until I'm married (or married with kids, depending on who's doing the reckoning), and past a certain age (somewhere between 20 and 30) I actually start to lose maturity unless I'm married (or married with kids), so as long as I avoid the old ball-and-chain I ought to be able to live forever.

Not worth your time, or your patience, Loinburger.
Why do you want to look younger? There are many advantages as a man to looking older than your true age.

To pick up chicks. No other reason.

Some women do dig older men, though.

Oh sure, no denying that. The problem is that I'm not an older man. Take the girl I went out with last night, f'rinstance -- possibility a. is that she likes older men, in which case I shot myself in the foot by telling her my real age, and possibilty b. is that she isn't in to older men, in which case it would have been to my advantage to communicate my real age to her several weeks ago. Grossly oversimplify the situation and assume that all women belong to either category a. or b., and any way you look at it it's not to my advantage to have them misjudge my age.
It's a trade-off -- if I grow a 'fro or wear more loud hawaiian shirts then I'm put in the position of not being taken as seriously as I currently am. But I don't need to be taken seriously, at least not for another year at minimum and likely not for another three years. I'm in girl-seeking mode, not job-seeking mode.

I'm not, though -- my behavior IRL is actually pretty similar to my behavior online, within constraints (e.g. I don't know any Libertarians or Communists IRL, nobody insults me IRL, I would never say "e.g." IRL, there's no auto-censor IRL (though sometimes I wish there were), etc.) -- I'm basically as irreverent IRL as I am online, probably much more so. As far as I can tell, I act like a 22-year-old... I dunno, should I be angstier or something? That seems to be pretty in vogue at the moment, and doesn't seem like it would be too difficult (just keep saying "Life sucks, let's go to Starbucks")... I'm not going to try angst if it requires that I grow a goatee, though. Those things itch like a mother****er.

Okay, follow the suggestions of keeping yourself clean shaven and have short hair. Loud aloha shirts might or might not help, I have seen some middle-aged men wearing those. Certainly looked pathetic to me. I suppose being more sporty can help, at least in the clothing department. IIRC, you're keeping yourself trim already. Okay, yeah, try some younger looking specs, that could help too.
Other than looks, I suppose the best thing you can do is to think young and carry yourself that way.

Yeah, the shaving ought to help -- currently I only manage about once a week (any less often and my itchy stubble drives me up a wall). And hey, it's a good excuse to grow a 'fro.
Grandma: "Kevin, why did you grow back that awful thing?"
Kevin: "Look at it this way Grandma -- do you want to be a great-grandmother, or don't you?"

Chicks dig many things. It all depends on what kind of chick you want to attract.
Unless you are attached to your facial hair, you should probably shave it off.
Most women like a clean-shaven man.
Some don't care, and those are the ones I prefer.
