What's the youngest you've pretended to be, and gotten away with?

[StuTheWise]

One of my coworkers is always harrassing me about my age, even though he's only 5 years younger than me. This despite the fact that when I first started working here, my bosses took all of us to Hooters on my 30th birthday. They asked me how old I was. I told them I was turning 22. Not a single person raised an eyebrow.

Later that same year, they sent me to a tradeshow in Vegas. I stayed at the Mirage, where I was carded by a blackjack dealer.

It's getting a lot harder to pretend I'm 21 now that I'm 32. But I'm being sent to Vegas in June, and I'm gonna give it another try!

People thought I was in first year during Frosh week of this year...I'm in 4th year...I was 21 turning 22 and the Frosh were all just turned 18 or turning 18. When I went to get my hair cut one day the lady thought I was in highschool. I take offense to it...I'm 22 and that's a fine age...I don't want people to think I'm in highschool.

 

[StuTheWise]

Well shoot Winky, and here I thought you were a 20-year old girl that just got a cheap new webcam!

Nixy, take it as a good sign. When you're 40, you'll be glad (or so I'm told). Although, even when I was 20, I delighted in pretending to be a high schooler. I guess I'm just sick.

I've always looked older. When I was 13 I passed for 18. Now that I'm almost 30 I am hoping the time warp will happen and I will be mistaken for someone younger.

I happened to me...I always looked older than I was. I've been buying lottery tickets since I was about 14 or 15 without any questions. Shortly after I turned 19 I was rarely being carded at the liquorstore...I'm now 22 and the frequency which I get carded hasn't really changed. It's like I turned 19 and stopped aging. Actually, you can look at pics as far back as when I was 13 and I haven't changed much...I think 18 or 19 was the age where I looked my age and now I look younger than my age.

 

[simplyred]

Well, at 21 and 22 I looked like I was in my late 20's...or so I've been told. The only thing that really looks different IMO is my weight! Age makes you fat.

[rrfield]

before i grew a beard and got my haircut i got carded all the time, even though i have a receeding hairline. im 26, people told me i looked about 19. now, post haircut and post not shaving for a week people say i look 35.

 

[Professur]

I couldn't pass for 16, when I was 16. Used to piss me off no end, my older brother getting into movies cheaper than I could.

Leslie says I look like a terrorist!

and not no IRA terrorist

but the wrinkles have sorta started, now I have to go metrosexual and start using mosterizing crap

[paul_valaru]

Your man-card, please. You've surrendered the right to continue carrying it.

 

[paul_valaru]

I do it to get laid, hence I get to keep, no, UPGRADE my man card

 

[HomeLAN]

Nope. Some things ain't worth the trade.

Don't make this any harder than it has to be.

 

[paul_valaru]

Nope. Some things ain't worth the trade.

dude, sounds like you have to hand in the man card.

 

[HomeLAN]

Not in my world.

There are many, many situations in which the screwing you're getting isn't worth the screwing you're getting - catch my meaning? Real men recognize those. Being forced to use "moisturizing products" has crossed the border, dude.
