[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone DCUM thinks they look 10-20 years younger. When will people learn that saying "OMG you look so much younger" or "O wow I thought you were ____ (enter an age 7 years below the age they know you are)" are COMMON courtesy compliments and truly mean nothing. Its another way of saying you looking great. Sorry to break your bubble but people don't think you are 31 when you are 44, they just don't. [/quote] It depends on the person. I'm very short and very thin. Most people put me at late teens to early 20s. When we switched dentists, my husband mentioned to the new dental hygienist that his daughter had just graduated. I walked in a few minutes later and the hygienist congratulated me and asked if I was ready for college. I was 43 at the time. At 44. a young colleague age 27 was being very patronizing until I casually worked my age into the conversation. She later admitted she was being a bitch to me because she assumed I was much younger than her. I always have to find ways to make it known that I'm older or risk clients treating me like an idiot. People usually get it once I start talking but physically I look like a child.[/quote]
