[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that there aren't women who look decades younger than their age, but there are women who truly do look younger. I went to see a new doctor who told me not to worry about testing for something because it's not really necessary until later. She was shocked when I told her how old I was. She looked at my forms again to double check. (Why, I don't know?) Then advised me to get the test. Some women really do look younger. (No, I don't look like a twenty year old, but I'm routinely mistaken for someone ten years younger. TBH, it has it's bad points.)[/quote]

Me too.

I have been in my position for 19 years and when I had a work meeting with several clients and their attorney- how long I had been at it came up.  One of the men said ' yea- you started when you were 15'. I laughed and said I was in my mid-40s and everyone there was truly shocked.  The one woman in their group was my age and she pulled me aside in the way out to express how good/young I look.

This was a multiple PhD, science/law crowd.

I do get that shocked thing a lot, but people think my 72-year old dad is no more than 60 and I take after him.[/quote]

I'm the pp you're quoting, and yes, this is why it's not that great. I'll never forget this meeting I had with someone who said "look, I've been doing this for twenty years...." When I said, I have too, he called me a liar! Other things happen too, like younger people not respecting you, or getting hit on by men much younger than you are (I know some people think this is a plus, but I'm embarrassed by it), or try meeting a guy your age who only wanted to date you because he thought you were younger! Thankfully, I'm married now, so that's not a problem. I don't want to look like a 20 year old, nor am I complaining about looking younger than my age. Yes, it's nice, but it's nothing I'd ever brag about. It just is what it is. And I'd never voluntarily tell anyone my age. It's only come out when there was an issue, like the examples I gave.[/quote]
