As for your other question, then no; I wasn't dating her at the time. That would have been a bad thing.
old man

I'm glad I'm not the only "old" guy here (I'm 40!!! WAHHH!!!!). However, I keep being told that I look 35… That can be a really bad trait. One time, when I tried to get into the dog racing park, the security guy there demanded my ID (I was 20 at the time, he thought I was still a minor). He even thought I might be using a fake ID 'til his supervisor confirmed that I gave him an actual drivers license. I hope you young people don't have to go through that…

I hope I don't find myself in the same situation that the husband of a certain famous Canadian singer is in right now… that would be scandalous…

Someone's son is going to be happy to watch this. :)

I have the opposite problem, I'm always mistaken for someone older and that's somtimes just as bad as looking younger. Contrary to popular belief among my friends, it is very disturbing to get hit on by 30 year olds.

well… 30 year olds acting like 20 year olds in utes wolf whistling at everything that moves.

Although, I can totally get into clubs if I wanted too, but I don't, 'cause the clubs can't handle me right now.

Awww poor Product, old people can still be cool. :(

When I was 15 I could pass for twenty easy enough, I always got told I look older than I was. These day I get the opposite which is odd but I won't complain.

Posted at 4:06AM, Jun. 6, 2011

I always figured that a person would look older than they are because they're so stressed out. I guess that's not true. I'm very laid back, so I guess that's why I've got this curse…

Heh… I'm so laid back that I don't even hit on women, which confuses my coworkers (who are mostly men… or women who act like men). Then again, given my bad luck with women in the past you can hardly blame me… Especially since they're all taken one way or another… but enough about that…

Well… time to go to work. If my current supervisor has his way, I'll work every night of the week with no days off and at the same time not earn overtime. I'm not going to follow his "order" to circle a vehicle three times to verify its make/model/color as that would require me to enter a tenants living space; my job is to put them at ease by doing my job and that means not doing anything that would make them scared or suspicious of me. Hopefully the company owner will fire him when she finds out what he's trying to get me to do… huh!?

Those people are cretins. They really are. But in the fine proud land of Australia they'll get mining jobs and be making $150,000 in their first year…
I love my country, but we've always had a very long tradition of rewarding cretinism. -Read some of the stuff written by early visitors to the Aussie colonies. Ah well.

Yeah, that ID thing is bothersome. I still have trouble convincing people of my age often. It was awkward in the US being asked for ID to get into clubs… Helps not to forget your passport. but I DO like looking younger than other people my age or younger than me.
It also depends on how you dress and act too, to a certain extent… That doesn't work for everyone though.
With the way I dress (jeans or dress pants and stuff) I've been mistaken for a young woman a teenage boy, an older woman, and even an old man once.
I think I could be a good actor. ^_^

at the ripe old age of 22 i was in vegas. I sat at one table for 6 hours, and was asked for my ID 7 times. I used the military one because no one ever questions it. After the 7th time i left it out on the table, which is pry why i wasn't asked for it anymore.

When i was 18, i'd be ID'd for pg-13 movies.

Posted at 5:06AM, Jun. 6, 2011

I don't like to think about my age in 1997, because it inadvertently makes me think about how old my current girlfriend was around that time.

…let's just say that the authorities would have been notified :(

Yeah, I think my boyfriend would have been, uh, about your age in 1997. Let's just say we've been mistaken as father and daughter before. :(

I'm thrilled when I get carded at clubs or buying smokes. One of these days my hard livin' is gonna catch up to me though. Unless I'm preserved by pickling. Which would be rad.

Im 27. One time though in an internet dating site, I chatted up some lady. She thought I was 50+ years old. When she found out I'm 27 she backed off. hahahahaha.

Age doesnt mean squat. Its whats between those ears.

Ear wax? not sure how that would make a difference. :D

I'm not that old though. I'm not even 30 yet. Won't be that many more years, though. :/

Posted at 6:06AM, Jun. 6, 2011

Nobody ever asks me for an ID, ever :(
But, people are shockedwhen I tell them I'm 30. They always go "I thought you're 25 or so!"

I thought you said you were 40? Must've misread that. ;)

No, that was Lonnehart.

My bad. Pre-coffee forum prowling ought to be forbidden.

Posted at 8:06AM, Jun. 6, 2011

I'm 18, but I look to be about 15 or so. The long hair doesn't help, but at least my muscle and deep voice throws 'em off ;D I've been told I sound like a 30 year old man or something before. Except I don't think 30 year old men use the word "bro" anymore. I use it often, bro.

I hate looking so young.

Posted at 8:06AM, Jun. 6, 2011

They should be kicked in the nuts if they do.
It's ok for people under 25…

HAHAHAHaha! That's right, we need mandated ages where you can use certain language.
-No one over 25 is allowed to use the word "Bro"
-No one under 25 can say "Man"… in this sort of context "Man, that's big fish!" etc.

…I don't think that will work.
Time for coffee and some dinner.
