30s female: How can I be hot?

This thread has to contain the most vapid group of people imaginable. If pictures were posted it would be a laugh.

My mom watches my kids and people think I'm the nanny all the time. This is a product of living in DC and having kids in my 20s. I'm pratically a unicorn around here and my mother could biologically be the parent of my kids with the assistance of Shady Grove. This does not mean I. As a groen up adult woman look like a child. Most nannies are older.

For the record, there is not a 32yr old who looks under 21. You either look good for 32 or not. Some people, at a stretch might look 4yrs younger than they are, but the older they get the more than gap narrows. On the flip side, you absolutely can look like you are 60 at 50. The goal is to look great for your age. Heres the secret and it's free. Listed in order of importance

1. Make sure you wear sunblock and hats from birth. Much damage is done before you even turn 20. Its never too late to start. The sun the enemy pf beauty.
2. Don't have kids
3. Get 8hrs+ a night of uninterrupted sleep (see above).
4. Do not drink any alcohol, smoke, or do drugs.
5. Exercise 7 days a week. Walking 15k steps preferred, plus 2-3 days of weight training. Don't get more than 15lbs overweight.
6. Drink lots and lots of water
7. Eat a well rounded diet and take B, D, and Magnesium

Thank you.

So why does everyone say I look 17? I have never been told I look any older than that. I really want to send you a photo cosmetics poster.

They are fibbing and flattering you. You probably look good. I have done it to other women, I am a woman too. If we have kids, teens, I might say, "oh, you look so young..." or something to that effect. It is a socially accepted behavior. People don't really think you are 17. Try to read social cues. In this area where teens have moms who are over 50, they mean you look young compared to other older moms.

Why do you care so much about looking 17 or not.
Do you look good and sexy? That's what matter. I know some wonen who look younger than their age but they don't look good so what the point.

I'm 31 and I've had people think I was anywhere from 14-25. I've also had people think I was 40. It's just not socially acceptable to say "hey you look older than your age". And I used to tell people all the time that they looked much younger than I actually thought because I didn't want to be rude. So I'm pretty sure for every person who thinks I'm 20, there's one who thinks I'm 35.

And usually when people look younger it's because of hair, clothes, and height, not how their face looks. I saw a woman at the store today who I thought was college age, but then we started talking and after awhile I noticed lines, sagging, etc and realized her face looked like 30s, but her hair and clothes were what college kids wear and made her look younger (plus she was very petite).

I also think people don't really know what a 20 year old really looks like. You know how in movies and on tv high school/college kids are always played by people in their 20-30s? So they look way older than real 20 year olds, but it still looks realistic to us because we think that's what college kids look like. I was on a college campus a couple weeks ago, and had I not known they were college students, I would have thought they were middle-high school.

They are very specific that I am that age, it is automatically assumed as well that I am 17 even from the very first moment people meet me. I am told I act mature but just look like a young teen.
I get carded at the movies for 18 films and of course for alcohol. It isn't a generation thing either. Someone my age asked how school was going the other day...
I am not trying to boast, I hate being told I look so young but, I get told on almost a weekly basis how shocked people are that I am 32 and not 17-18 like they had originally assumed. I am 5'3, quite slim, flat chested and have a very young face.
It is rare but it happens. I guess it is just frustrating when people say it is impossible to look so young at 32 as why do I get it all the time that I look 17. It isn't just one or two people who think it, everyone does and the highest anyone has ever said was 22 but even she added 'At a push'.

Also, I dress mature and hair is midlength and straight so nothing to do with that. I just think a petite, boyish and flat chested figure with a very young face makes a thirty something look like a kid.

The cosmetic demertologist is no doubt looking beneath the skin at the ageing process too and not the actual face.

Give it up. I sent my 16yr old boy to see the wolverine movie with his friends and he has pimples and looks like a 15yr old and he didnt get carded at the rsted R movies. Im 38 andnget carded for alcohol all the time, that's called policy.

People are flattering you+ you are dillusional, this is what is going on.

[Anonymous]

Well that's a whole lot of flattery on a weekly basis. Please don't accuse me of lying either. Lots of bitter women here who simply can't accept that there are a few women who look extraordinarily young for their age. For the record, I don't like it. I would love to look my age so I feel normal and not like some weird circus freak show who never ages.

You guys are silly. Wring the marrow out of life. Love your people. And if you end up looking a little worn in the process, it will have been worth it.

You have found the hill you want to die on. Congratulations!

If there is a way of getting an email address across (To the cosmetics poster) I will gladly do it. I am tired of people saying it is impossible to look late teens in your thirties. I am living proof that it isn't.

Nobody knows which post is yours, duh.
