Pros and cons of looking older?

[Gan]

Can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I'm 21. I've been told by 2 girls within a month that I look older than my age. One of them said I looked 27, the other one 30. I can assure you my face does not look aged lol.

I'd probably take it as an insult if I was maybe past my 30's, but at 21?

Would say age appearance matters less for men than women. Looking older will help you being the age you are. If you're acting like a real man about things as well, you're winning. I'm 34 but am consistently told mid-late twenties.

The biggest thing I think is staying in shape and eating fresh food. I hardly recognise some people I went to school with now, and I would make an educated guess that they've lived mostly on processed food their entire lives. Many are over-weight, have terrible complexions and no colour in their skin.

Stay in shape, eat well, dress sharp. If you can maintain that late twenties-early thirties look for as long as you can, you'll be fine.

Looking older and having just a touch of grey in my beard has gotten me laid more than at any point in my life...and with younger women.
