How to look older

As a kid you cant wait to grow up an when you finally do you proper

think your well it because you can do certain things (me being one of

them :D) When i did reach 16 i thought this is it i'm finally gonna get treated

like a grown up, parents gonna give me a bit more freedom (yeah rite),

not a chance. Now at 19 nobody takes me seriously when i tell them i'm

19 and they think i'm sum stupid kid. Today i took my lil bro to the dentist

and the receptionist asked me whether i was over 16 (how old did she

think i was?) i was fuming :D. You get drivers giving you werid looks while

your out driving thinking you probably driving without a license or summit

coz you dont look old enough. Even my own realtives say that me lil sis

who is 2 yrs younger than me looks older than me (just coz she taller

than me doesnt automatically mean ur older but most peeps assume that

coz you taller you must be older Biggrin ) Does anybody else have this

probably or is it just me. Feel free to share your thoughts. Oh yeah if

anybody got any tips on how to look older please feel free to share Biggrin

salaam

well well well this a first a lady askin to look older. am messin i dont have that problem ma sis is 10 yrs older n looks it lol lol. cant help u on tips how to look older though sorry unless u start acting like miss bossy boots the ama!! so to speak of ur home!! |

I know what u mean!!!!!!
im 21 but always get asked for ID if im buying mr bro fags or sumtin and my younger sister always gets mistaken for the older one. I always thought it was coz she was taller but apparently her facial features makes her look olde (she has high cheekbones) and she is a bossy boots, so that makes a difference too!

i think the way u dress makes a difference, my sister likes to wear stilleto heels and big earings etc whereas i stick to plain pony and no jewellery!

Sum ppl actually think im 12/13 or 15/16, and once i was out with a group of freinds and people thought i was the kid sister and that they were taking me out for the day :oops:

i no i'm werid Biggrin most peeps want to look younger but not me.

I used to hate it when i was younger bit now i quite like it Lol

has anybody tried to wear hijaab?? i mean the niqaab makes u look older/ mature...besides aint u suposed to cover anyway?
try wearing an abaya... c how u get on..

For SuccESS ATtiUtUde IZ jUsT Az IMporTAnt as ABiliTY

depends what burqa/ abaya u wear.

if she wears a big baggy one then ppl cant work out the age. But if she wears a more tight one, then it becomes apparent her age. Like in our area, some ladies wear cloak and niqab and a denim jacket , obviously evry1 works out that they are young.

Ya ALLAH Madad.

I get mistaken to be 16 all the time. Which was flattering the first few times but now its just plain annoying ... damn it people im WAY OLDER!!! OPEN YOUR EYES :evil:

Prob coz i usually have a clean shave. I think with guys a clean shave makes you appear younger. Altho thats not my intention. I know with guys how deep your voice also effects how old you come across. Not to mention your lingo.

With girls ive always presumed its modesty and professionalism that makes them appear older (you may also want to lay off the makeup a bit aswell).

Other than that i cant help you out... im not a girl... and not obsessed with how old i look.

loads of make-up usually does the trick Biggrin

only joking, its all about your manner, if u act older, people will assume your older

make up makes you look older and so do certain clothes.

It works both ways.

Does it really matter if they think you're younger? You should be flattered. When you are older you will wish ppl said you looked more youthful. You won't ever be totally content. Be happy with what you have sisters and carry some i.d!

Yeah thats wot everybody says bout me lil sis that its her facial features and her build that makes her look older, i just dont see it.
yeah i suppose the way you dress makes a difference but i dress like any 19 yr old does. I wear stilleto sometimes coz i is short and adds a bit of height on me Biggrin and earings what can i say the bigger the better thats my moto Blum 3
