2. Depends on the day
and the time of day. Most of the time I look my age. Sometimes I look a little older, I think.

4. Younger than I really am...
:hi: I've heard people say it for a good while now, but I really believed it when I was in line at the grocery store one day and a woman who was in her sixties told me I reminded her of her granddaughter. I laughed and told her thanks, but that I was old enough to be her granddaughter's mother. She could not believe it and kept telling me that whatever I was doing to keep doing it. :P I guess being naughty and not smoking have their benefits... :rofl:

5. That depends on whether or not I'm clean-shaven.
Right now I have a goatee, and look my age, more or less; if I shaved I'd look about three or four years younger.

41. People tell me I don't look my age either - they say, "You don't look 40!"
And then I tell them this is what 40 looks like.

29. LOL! I'm not sure I could pass for THAT young, but I could probably
get people to believe mid-thirties. Maybe early thirties if I've gotten a good night's sleep.

I'm invariably pegged at 7-10 years younger. I dunno if that qualifies as "younger" or "a lot younger." :shrug:

72. How the hell should I know
I used to think I looked young for my age. I do look young compared to what late 40's looked like when I was 20. I'm often told I look younger.

However most of the 40 somethings I know look younger than that too. :shrug:
