Hmmmm... interesting that no one here will admit to being guessed older than they really are. I'll add my voice to the chorus. I've always looked younger than my years--except when I suddenly grew a pair of big breasts at fourteen and could pass for eighteen. Long time ago.
I try not to think about it, but it bothers me that I will turn 30 this November. I think that just to boost my ego, that I will dress young and go out (even though I'm not much of a drinker) and see if I can get carded at a bar. I look young because I'm small, and at 5' 3" will probably always be looked at as a girl more than a woman. Sometimes in a job situation this works against me. I look young, and some people assume that I am fresh out of college. I am careful to dress in a conservative, tasteful, and professional manner, but it is hard to pack much "gravitas" into 105 pounds. My Mom calls it "the curse of cute."
