CaliforniaGirl Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I used to constantly be told how young I looked but I stopped believing it. I know I must be pessimistic but all I could think ws: Nobody tells an ACTUALLY young person that they look young. I hope that makes sense. IOW...what I'm delicately saying is...people tell *older* people that they look younger. That's the polite thing, and it makes the person blush and laugh and obviously feel good. And most of us are nice people who want other people to feel good. I don't really think about it anymore. I'm generally attractive...good enough. And I usually date(d...back in the ol' days) around my age so it never made a huge difference to me. I never liked going a lot younger or a lot older. Link to post Share on other sites

Kitty Tantrum Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 It is a real thing for some of us, and it can be legit embarrassing. Now, if a 12 year old boy approaches me all like "how you doin'" I don't assume he thinks I'm his age... but he also probably doesn't know I'm old enough to be his mom. 🤢 But it's when OLD PEOPLE do it that it's really bad. Like, walk past a highschool in the afternoon, get stopped by a teacher or administrator and asked POINTEDLY why I'm not in class. That sort of thing. I think older people do it more often, because to them, I really DO look very young. Young guys are just... un-discerning. 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing to do with trying to be complimentary or make me feel good Okay, but here's the thing, who comes up to a person and just says "I think you're X age"? I'm sorry...I cringe saying this but it's true...people get a feel for those who are trying to act younger, hoping to look younger...and people respond to that...OR age is brought up..."Well, my 13-year-old daughter says..." and people instinctively know: when age is brought up like that...the person wants to hear, "but you look so young." Some people really do look younger than their age but if you look on threads like these, or hell, in real life, it seems like everybody "look ssoooo impossibly young..." Do you think that's...well...possible? You are in your 20s, that's a weird age to gauge, especially if the woman is doing the no-makeup, hair in a bun thing. So I can see it...but...12?

I never said i look 12. I said i get checked out by those in high school sometimes. Which is ew but its a fact. Also theres no point explaining it all, but when people say or think im young its because i look it. Some people do look young you know, its a fact.🤔 People i know who don't know my age, i may have asked how old you think i am and they will come out with usually between 18-21, the oldest ive gotten is 24 Contrary to what you think people can be jealous 😂, so its not true that every single person will want to make someone feel better by saying they look younger. And being in the 20s is young, they could say any number in the 20s and it would be taken as a compliment right. There's no need to go down the teenage ages Edited July 2, 2020 by Roswell91 Link to post Share on other sites

Interstellar Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) well if she’s pinay, just like any other female species on the planet she wants handsome or good looking lol. Your average Filipina would usually go for clean cut, clean shaven, no piercings, preppy look and physically fit. Sure, it certainly helps if you look younger for your age.

Emilie Jolie Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I am a woman in my 40s. I never wear make up and let my hair age along with me (not too many greys yet, but it's coming). When I look in the mirror, I very clearly see a woman in her 40s looking right back at me, and I'm totally fine with it. I like being in my 40s, and looking like i'm in my 40s. I had one ex 3 years younger than me, and a little something with a guy 10 years younger a handful of years back - pretty sure age or 'looking young' had nothing to do with it. With that said, the only people I know who deliberately have targeted younger partners than them were men in full-blown midlife crisis looking for a second youth. These guys may have thought they looked younger, but they most definitely didn't. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

regine_phalange Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I look younger and went for someone who also looks younger. We are both in our thirties, however, when we visit museums, monuments etc the clerks ask us if we would like the student discount! 🤓 1 Link to post Share on other sites

snowcones Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 No, people who look younger don't always go for younger. It's not always the case, but what I'd be focusing on is that your friend told you this about the Filipina lady. My question is, how does he know for sure? He may not know for sure. He may not know what her dating preferences are, because people don't generally go around announcing it. He may be the typical guy who sees one little thing and then jumps to a conclusion so that he can disqualify himself. In other words, your friend probably saw her go out with ONE OR TWO guys who were 5-10 years younger, and that was probably because those guys were the only ones who had the balls to ask her out and not cower in a corner being afraid of rejection. Most women go out with someone who's asked them out. So go ahead and disqualify yourself if it makes you feel better, but I'm thinking your friend has already done it for you.

Bluesky00 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 For a woman “Looking young” won’t last forever. For example a 45 year old woman who looks 27 shouldn’t even consider dating a 27 year old guy. Maybe it’s good for a one night stand but nothing long term. Seriously, women hit menopause, they “do” get wrinkles after 55. So who knows at what “age” an older woman who looks young will start aging 10 years. And most families will not accept their 25 year old son dating a 50 year old woman. And what happens next? She’s going to end up in the nursery home and he’s going to visit her? Link to post Share on other sites
