[The Olive TM7]

Hey guys,

It's been a while since I've posted on here and it's now about 15 months since I've been paintballing but this isn't what I want to talk about.

I look very young for my age, and I'm sick to death of it. I really think it's affecting my life in an adverse way and I just want to see what you lot think.

I have a job in retail on the weekends and I get questioned continously throughout the day by customers and staff alike, asking whether I'm old enough to be working, and telling me how I remind them of their 12/14/15 year old son/nephew/whoever.

I live in a student house near my college in England and when I was looking round houses the estate agent even made a 'joke' about me not being old enough to rent a house. I hate it so much. It's an absolute grind and I know that most people ask innocently enough and are just interested but I am getting to the point where I struggle to reply to customers politely and keep a straight face.

I'ts like since I've been about 13 I just haven't aged. I don't understand, I have plenty of hair on my legs, back, chest, etc etc but I don't get any kind of facial hair. I even get mistaken for my younger brother at family occasions now because he's taller than me and probably looks older, which pains me to say.

BUT, by far the worst thing is girl problems (obviously) How am I supposed to pursue girls, and I do have one on my mind. But she's never going to respond positively if I ask her out when I look so young. And I can't do anything about it. Can't grow a beard or any facial hair superior to that which a 14 year old has and they think is badass.

Anyone want to sympathise, share the love, give me any ideas I am grateful to hear them.

I had/have somewhat of the same problem, but then I realized something.

When I'm older, and my face looks younger... I can go back to my university in my Porsche and pick up chicks half my age like a BOSS.

This could be true, but I'd rather pick up girls my age now haha

Go get some testosterone pills.

As soon as I found you were from England, I read this in an English Accent in my head.

The Olive TM7,

That is an odd situation. We all want to grow up and all. But then once we look old, we all wish we still had our youthful looks. I will tell you looking young for your age is a blessing. You will understand and appreciate the gift much more in say 15 to 20 years from now.

In regards to your concerns with talking and picking up woman. Looks plays a small part in it, the initial thought of if she likes or not. But will amount and work in your favor will be confidence. A confident man will attract 10 times the woman one that doesn't. See looks are superficial and do fade with time. Confidence last a lifetime. I will give you an example. I am sure you have seen a beautiful woman with a guy that leaves you scratching your head, why the hell is she even with him. Well I assure you it was his confidence to looks past his faults in his looks and his assurance that he is comfortable in his own skin. Or he has a bank account with plenty of numbers in front of the decimals.

Be comfortable and confident in who you are and how you look and girls will notice. Think about all these hot teachers that are sleeping with their students.. So do you still think looking young is not appealing to woman??

I hope this helps and if it doesn't, I tried.

Good luck to you and I hope you find peace and comfort in your looks as they are a gift that you will appreciate in time. Look at how much stars pay to keep themselves looking young.

Both you and Mike are so very insightful.

It will pay back when your older though, your going to look 30 when your 60 years old.

INBL, and lose some weight, if you lose some weight your face will start to slim down.

[XxJellyFilledxX]

Why would this be locked...?


Only suggestion I can think of would be try and get a lot of sun, I read somewhere that it ages your skin... not sure if true, but either way the ladies like a good tan

[The Olive TM7]

Thanks for the replies you guys. It's nice to see a few of you offering up useful explanations. I've removed the photo now, I guess there's not really much I can do about my situations. I'm sure as hell not going to go and buy testosterone pills or do anything drastic. Willie you've got some good points man, cheers bro

[bigx]

Dude go to the gym and hustle people. You look like your 15ish no offense. Then move a lot of weight.

1st of all your never going to get a girl with that attitude.

secondly. theres nothing your gonna be able to do about facial hair. but just because you dont have facial hair dont mean anything.

have confidence. (something you already seem to lack) bitches love a confident man.

[drexler]

I fucking wish I didn't have facial hair. I can go from clean shaven to 5oclock shadow at 2pm, to half a pedo bread two days later.

Fuck facial hair.


Btw, it itches like hell.

The answer is giraffes. Bitches love giraffes.
