Is it possible for a 36/37 years old person, to look like a 20/22 years old?

When I was 28 I once got stopped at the door of Costco and asked where my mom was. I look my age. Weird things happen sometimes.



I'm a young looking person and it's not easy. In my 30s, people would come to my door and ask if my parents were home. My kids coaches assume I'm a big sister and people are very paternalistic like "when you get to be my age...." I hate buying alcohol because of the interaction. People think my husband is a creep and give us weird looks. I transferred to a new office with my long time employer, and one of my employees a few levels down chatted with me and told me I should stay past my internship because I'll have a great career with them.

I have ways to look older, and I can see my age. I am as vain as anyone else my age and get botox, etc but I don't think that is what is causing this reaction. I think I just have youthful eyes and body movements and that causes people to read my looks as much younger.

I was preparing paperwork for an applicant today who didn't look a day over 18 but was born in 1994 (29 yo).

I visited my college town when I was may be 28-29, walked around campus, and then went to a local hangout. I remember catching myself things the students look so much like kids. These were 20-22. I think you are all delusional if you think that at 40 you look anything like a 20 year old.

Agree with this.

I hate it when people use “you look so young!” As a complement to women. Most of the time they don’t and in addition it is ageist.

I went a “commuter” university that had a students ranging widely in age. It was very obvious to me how old certain students were based on both how they dressed & their faces. If you’re not around 20-22 year olds day in and day out if you just will not end up looking like a 20-22 year old.

Yes, if you don't have kids and eat healthy.

My sister had a baby at 21 (only BF’ed for about a week). Only went to college for a year. She is 5”0. If you saw her walking around a college campus within a week of giving birth with a backpack & a tee shirt on she would’ve looked indistinguishable from any other college student.

Agree. Had same experience when revisiting my alma mater one spring weekend last year. I'm 20 years out and these kids looked like babies to me! Heck, I remember being 27 / 28 and really noticing the aging compared to kids still in college, and I was fit and healthy and active.

Doesn't matter what race they are. No one is mistaking a 35 year old woman of any race for a 22 year old, outside of perhaps a tiny handful of clear exceptions (usually who also had cosmetic help).

And, so what?

I am 61 and look way younger. It is not just looks it is lifestyle. I look around 15 years younger. My resume has my first job now at 1998.

I dress cool, my youngest in 16, still so family vacations with kids host got back from spring break with kids.

I also have zero medical issues. Perfect teeth ($15k to 20k) over last 15 years to keep up. Don’t wear glasses, had lasik.

Am not fat, I am balding but zero gray hair. I also only sleep
On average 6 hours a night. I can go from 6 am to midnight 5 days a week.

I have nieces and nephews in worst shape. But expensive and need a lot of luck

Black woman here. I'm 37 and my coworkers thought I was 26/27 at the most. A few years ago,.a recruiter thought that I was looking for an internship. I really dislike having a baby face.

But so many of them overweight and out of shape and they actually look way older than their years.

Lmaoooooooo they both look ridiculous, the guy on the left has had so much work done. I live in LA and everyone is plastic like this and then in 10 years their faces look melted like Brandi Granville.
