young looking dudes

[madhatter]

hey fellas...have a question that hasn't been covered in prior posts. i'm a rather young looking guy. i'm 27, shave every other day, lift 5 times a week to look buff, am a resident in medicine, basically enough characteristics to make myself feel like a man. except my face makes me look REALLY young. my mom is mid 50s and has no grey hair and my sister is 29 and looks like she's in college. well, same with me. i look REALLY young and most people can't believe i'm out of high school. it doesn't help with the mature look needed to be a doctor. but i also have trouble picking up chicks because i don't look mature. anyone else have this problem or any advice?

if thats a problem, grow some facial hair and leave it. leave a goatee or beard. also hairstyle and clothing is also an important factor to age appearance

it's a problem because you're letting it be one.

better young than old. I get told all the time that I look years younger than I do, I just think it's funny.

I was told I look like a "baby". I posted my picture on this forum and got some nice advice. Why don't you do the same.

This could all be in your head!


Here is my thread: I look like a "baby"? Natural Nice guy look help.

Its better to look like your 20 than 40... I get the same thing as far as a youthful appearence. You just have to find the right hair cut for your face and maybe grow some facial hair.

have you ever thought it might be a positive thing to appear younger than you are?

people often mistaken me for being in my early - mid 20's
normally i consider that a positive thing, but should i really?

i act like someone who's in their 20's, and i like to make friends with ppl in the 20's range.

so maybe its not all on looks? probably some part on personality also.

You may think it's a problem now, but...

When you're in your mid 50's(if you stay in shape and don't become a lard a$$) and the 20something chicks think you're in your 30's!! Enjoy!!!

And confidence. You are older and wiser, use it to your advantage. I've looked young my whole life and it's a blessing. You can date just about anyone from 18 to your age or older (if you wanted to) and get away with it.

Don't grow old too fast!
