It always makes me so upset when I see this kind of discourse. I'm 26, but a lot of people assume I am 15/16, I always get carded, people are surprised to hear my age bc they thought I was a teenager. I can't help what I look like, y'know? And it does get in my head. It makes me feel like no one's ever going to be attracted to me physically, or if they are it's like... unethical, or whatever, to be happy about it.

If you really think you're going to look like a teenager for the rest of your life, I think you probably have some growing up to do in other areas too.

The aging process comes for us all. It'll come for you too soon enough.

Yeah, I'm sure it will, but that doesn't help me now. Would you say I, a 26 year old, have to wait until I'm visibly aged to start dating?

No, I'm saying it's a non-issue. And your obsession with your supposedly extremely youthful looks speaks more to emotional immaturity than your physical appearance.

Man, this is a weirdly insulting take.

-40 year old, 4'11" anon who went from baby-faced to middle-aged with basically no time looking my actual age.

(Anonymous) 2023-09-22 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Meanwhile, I too am 40 and people still ask me what grade in high school I'm in.

Huh?? How does this have anything to do with my maturity?? I'm saying I look young, not that I look hot - I'm gangly and pimply and chinless, not Timothee Chalamet. My looking like a kid doesn't get me a lot of attention, it mostly just gets people talking to me like I'm a kid, when I am a 26 year old adult who's been independent for a full decade.

Frustrating that we as a society think youthful == beautiful when that's so obviously not the case.

????? What a weird response.

(Anonymous) 2023-09-22 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
This is a silly take. Also, what crawled up your butt and died?

"And your obsession with your supposedly extremely youthful looks speaks more to emotional immaturity than your physical appearance."

Sorry, anon but I dare say YOUR obsession with their supposedly youthful looks (15 to 26 isn't even extreme) speaks of YOUR emotional immaturity.
Some people look younger, some look older, and that's just the way it is.
If some people in their 20s are going around saying short people are "child-coded" and not dateable I can totally see why OP as a 26-yo who looks 15 would be concerned. I wouldn't want someone to look disgusted at my partner because I'm supposedly """child-coded""". It's an issue, for sure.

I look younger than I am and that was never an issue for me but people didn't go around calling others "child-coded" when I was younger so there's that.

(SA - .. come to think of it, it WAS an issue a few times, like traveling alone or getting into alcohol-free places and I'm sure some people thought I was unattractive or unreliable at job because of that. But, well, it was never TOO bad because I don't look TOO young and don't do many "adult" things either. But I can certainly see why it's a bad thing more often than not.)

I think that it's possible to be concerned about one's looks even with emotional maturity and diverse life experience; it could actually come about due to such self-awareness.

This happens to be the boat I'm in. Given how I still get carded despite nearly being 40, it's not great. I worry that my looking younger than my age may have actually cost me two promotional opportunities in the last couple years.

Same anon! I'm 25 and went to travel by plane recently and they asked if I had an adult present. I share the same fears tbh.
