how to look older?
-
Im 19 this year. Apparently i have a rather baby face look. Are there anyways i can make myself look older? Like clothes and stuff. I tried growing facial hair, but they hardly grow
I stopped wearing giant printed oversized tees and low hipster jeans. I still have people telling me i look 17.
I know im not even 20, not even in the army yet, but i want to garner some respect from other people. They tend to look down on you when you look like a kid. Let's just say i had a few bad experiences related to this. I want to be a more mature person. When you are mature, people treat you more seriously and are willing to give you responsibilities and trust.
Any useful advice is much appreciated. Thanks. -
How about be happy with what you look like? No matter what you change you'll never be 100% happy with. I've got a baby face or that's what people were telling me when I was your age. At 20, I was still told I looked 17 or 18. Enjoy it, believe me when you get older you'll be missing the days when people are mistakign you for a 17 year old.
Speak and act with confidence that will help you a lot with people takingyou seriously. -
It's the way you carried yourself that can spark off your maturity, not your looks. I'm guessing you must had been dampen by the comments people gave you about your child-like looks. I suggest you do brush those 'hurtful' comments aside and work on your confidence.

Time passes very fast.
At your age, one hour is one hour. To some, one hour is like half a day. But once you reach 40, time is different. One hour feels like five minutes ago. A day felt like just 3 hours, and a month feels more like a week.
Cherish your youthfulness and be contented with how you now look. All this, will go away with time's relentless passing. Soon, you'd wish you're young again.
Don't be over-concerned about looks. Character (good or bad) is what shines through. -
hey..u got baby face also complain...some pp veri young, but kana called uncle or auntie..i think they faint..
dun complain abt the looks now, cos as you aged, say when you are 30, pp will say..."wow..u look so young".. or you prefer" uncle, you 30++ isit?"
btw, baby face attracts gals...

Most pple are dying to look young. I guess if u naturally look young even though u are old, its a boon. Dont fret and be happy about it.
When u see yr frens yr own age aging u will still look young. -
lucky to be born that way. like chew chor meng. boyish looking!!Originally posted by GaLtwenty:Most pple are dying to look young. I guess if u naturally look young even though u are old, its a boon. Dont fret and be happy about it.

I'm 21 this year and like you, i've been told i look young.
But why do you want to look older? Loss of respect? Looking older does gives make people give you a little bit more respect i guess, especially at kopitiams, where people respect people in their office suits more than any school kid.
But bah, why would you want to look older? That reason isn't justifiable by itself.
I recall seeing a show on channel 8 once about someone who's 28 but acts like he's 18, and he gets spot-checked when watching R(A) movies. All he did was to change his clothes, out of his school-like, teenage clothes into something an older person would wear(i'm not saying branded here either), and of course, behaving in a way that would depic your true age.
Yet, i would think that if you're mature enough, people would look at your true age instead of how you look like..
Don't you think so? -
Go gym regularly... Pump more iron... Muscular body wont look like a kid.. Jux like the kid in KungFu movie..

No point trying to look OLD when u r NOT. It's not juz how u dress, its also how u express & carry urself. Pple will treat u seriously only if u can convince them dat u r as serious & responsible enough for the job. Want respect? Earn it.Originally posted by hypercurry:Im 19 this year.

respect is not earned only from one's looks. if someone is going respect / lose respect with another person, purely based on looks, that someone is superficial and immature. and being mature certainly has nothing to do with one's looks. people will treat you seriously and with respect, if you show that you are to be treated seriously and is a person to be respected, by your words and your actions. -
Look old?
Just sleep less and work more.
