I look too young for my age!

Grow a beard and/or moustache. That should make you look older!

i have the opposite problem. im now 19 and ive always looked old for my age. e.g. on a school tour when i was 13 i was served at the boat bar when my 37 year old teacher was stopped for id.

made my life a livin hell coz o that he did(just coz he could only get drinks when i was buyin them and i charged him £5 per pint surcharge):cool:

still if ya want to be taken more seriously in work kick the boss in the nads(if they have any)they'll never look down on ya again

Jesus christ bozzie, your 19?
Good god! :eek:

Ah well, look at fatman, I thought he was going into his 40's... turns out he's 19 or so. He wasnt extremly impressed when I made him aware of how old I thought he was

On my phone, it would take 6 taps to write "was" and 8 taps to write "woz" so, I'm still not convinced it's text speak ! (And, yes, I *don't* have much else to do with my time!).

Back on topic though, how can women make themselves look older and more serious at work apart from wearing lots of makeup(it gives you spots)?

I'm backtracking on what I've said I do myself (but hey, do as I say not as I do

)but why would you feel the need?

Get respect at work by your contribution and your importantce to the team/job. If they aren't taking you seriously despite your contribution, then you have to ask if this is an institute you want to work for.

I'm 28 also, a plick of a bouncer asked me for ID sat. night, at the raddison in Galway. Later on I noticed two girls who couldn't have been more than 12 doing their thing on the dancefloor, much to the delight of a small group of guys who were plenty older than me!

i look quite young for my age, but i do enjoy the 'haha, in your face' aspect of getting asked for id and havin it.

on new years eve i got asked for id three times in the one pub!

I guess that's an average

...except when they don't believe the ID and are sure it's fake, thst can be a pain. But a 19 yr old was asked for ID in a pub an d whatever the result, he didn't get served, then he got the Equality Athority after the pub and he got a few grand! Ageism apparently. Threaten a place with that and they might comply quicker!
