My 50-something but very active father looks younger than my three-years-younger but not as active mother. Despite the fact that he’s old enough for some senoir discounts, he says he doesn’t plan to retire. The filial daughter in me wants to convince him otherwise.

As for me, I don’t feel as if I’ve changed much since reaching 15. This creates a strange feeling dissonance now that I’m in college, pretending to be an adult.

I’ve always felt older than I am – mainly because I’ve been put ahead a year at school, so all my friends are almost a year older than me, but also because I have a lot of older cousins.
I’m almost 18 but feel – and have passed for 21/22

Well, according to Wii I a 28. When someone asks my age I almost say 42 because that is what my brain wants to say. According to my birth certificate (which was chiseled out of rock) I am 57. Weird, huh?

I’m almost 25 and every time I don’t get carded for alcohol or cigarettes (when I still drank/smoked – I quit both 8 months ago, woo!), I just assume that the cashier is not doing their job by neglecting to ask everyone who appears under 30 years old to see an ID. Clearly that cashier is lazy. There’s no way I look older than 30. Possibly I am in denial, but even if I do look older than my years, at least I’m on the right track by quitting smoking, etc. and getting myself healthy.

I recently used my friends Wii to determine my Wii age.

As a young(ish) man, I would’ve figured that I would be pretty close to my actual age. When it turned out that my Wii age is a couple decades older than my real age, it was quite the kick in the rear.

I’ll be turning 25 soon, and I feel a bit older than that. I guess a few factors that contribute would be a handful of bad habits that I’ve held onto from my college years (smoking, drinking, etc). BUT, recent actions (limit the bad intake, exercise, etc) have done their part to make me feel my age.

My question is how do you know if you feel younger than what you are? You don’t know how other people feel that are the same age as you. Also someone who can’t keep up you that is the same age can be due to just flat out not taking care of themselves and not due to their age. So I would say that I feel healthy :-)

Well, I should say, in Ontario, it’s lower in other provinces…

I’ll be 25 in January and I still get IDed in bars (here in Canada the age limit is 19, not 21)

I’m 24 and physically, I feel like my age (although a bit out of shape…), but I know I don’t look it…I’m constantly mistaken for younger, and if my genetics have much say, I imagine that trend will continue. I have been frequently told, however, that I’m an old soul. I’m not sure that knitting and crocheting and listening to the Beatles necessarily make that true, but that’s what I’ve been told :)
