How to look older

dublingal80

Im recently single, and I need to change my look to try and look a little bit older since I can look at least 8-10 years younger than what I am (i'm 30)
I dont know what it is that makes me look so young but i always have. My hair is v long, and i really dont want to cut it. When I go out id usually wear jeans and some nice top, not a dress type person.

What Can i do to even look mid 20's... I just really dont want lads in their early 20's coming near me and not the older ones cos they think im young!

Twee.

How is your hair styled? You could get a new cut, whilst still keeping it long, with loads of layers and body cut into it.

Firstly, sorry to hear you are recently single. I hope you are feeling better and good about yourself. It is not easy coming out of a relationship.
Well as a guy talking here may I suggest doing nothing with your appearance!!
You don't want to cut your lovely, long hair, so don't.
Be yourself.
I am very young looking too yet I wallow in the comments I get from women who tell me I look ten years younger than I am!!!
Forget about the 20 something jerks who come up to you in the pub or club to chat you.
Just tell them you're not interested or you have a bf.

But, please, please don't change your appearance to make yourself look older. I am sure you look lovely as you are.

Sure If I ever meet you ( assuming I know what you look like!!) I might ask yo out myself!!!

Don't worry about putting off older men, they don't have issues with asking out younger women.

The thing is, if your looking for men in clubs. Most of them are younger.
So you need to go to places with an older age profile, or look to meet people some other way.

I get this too, and mostly I think it is because people tend to assume you are near their own age.

Thanks for the replies

Yeah my hair is long, loadsa layers, full, wavy.. really happy with it, usually its horrible

And ur right, if i only go to places that has young lads in it, they would be the only ones that would talk to me. All this newly single thing is weird so just trying to remember what it was like before

good eye make up can make you look older if your still looking for a lil quick fix

Staying clear of hoodies and baggy clothes is a must! I get told I look like a teenager all the time (I'm in my mid-twenties)

Remember there's nothing wrong with looking young for your age. Think of how much hotter you'll be in ten years time
