(Although rare) for a woman in their early 30's to still look between 17-20 years old? My colleagues say it is impossible but I don't agree and know someone who really does look 17 at 33 years old.

Yes. A friend of mine is like this. 31, petite and short, not a laughter line in sight, looks 20 at the absolute most. She's still tiny and young looking (and very pretty) despite having had a baby 9 months ago - two weeks after me. Bitch.

I've always looked a decade younger but in the last couple of years my wrinkles have developed and starting to get some grey hairs Sadso not sure how much longer that will be true!

I have an uncle who is 53 and doesn't look a day over 30!
We call him Peter Pan!

At the age of 31 I was stopped by a policeman & a truancy officer wanting to know why I wasnt at school - sadly I'm now 42 and looked like a saggy old hagSad

I look younger than my 38yrs... people seem to put me anywhere between 22 and 28. Until I was 35 people who knocked on the door asked me if my mum was in.

I'm kind of short and dumpy, but I have very clear, rosy skin and a soft, high pitched voice. I also have braces, which I think confuses people.

I was out a few weeks ago with DS9 and a freind who brought an acquaintance along. This woman started talking to me about how brave i was and how hard it must have been to have a child so, so young. I was very confused for a moment. Turns out she thought I was about 23.

The only time it ever bothered me was the last time i was looking for a job. I'm quite senior in a serious profession and several interviewers queried my age in light if required experience for the role. I pointed out my 20yr employment record and every time they seemed shocked I could have been working that long.

I reckon I'm gonna age quite badly though. The plump rosy cheeks will no doubt turn into jowels in the next few years.

Hey ho!

my sister is early thirties and still gets the bus has a half! (15 and under) we are all little and slim, but yes it is possible.

I was at an assembly at my children's (primary) school before the holidays. A supply teacher tried to add me on the end of the line of yr6 kids being taken back to the classroom. I was like Hmm I mean I get told often I look really young for my age but I'm 29 ffs obviously not primary aged. Also haven't seen many primary school kids in size 18 clothes
Teacher was mortified as was I.
Oh found it hilarious

@Runaways01

I tried a few photos on how-old.net and they put me variously between 22 and 76! Grin

I'd say no, to be honest. It is certainly possible to look young, but not that young!

Unfortunately, it is possible to look that young.

I think it's possible.

I'm in my 30's and I still get ID'd, granted not everytime, but I'm prepared to show ID if I'm challenged.

I know I don't look under 18, but most places have a policy in place of 25 or younger, so my guess is I probably look like I'm in my mid 20's. I have to ID people as part of my job and in fairness, if anyone in my opinion looks under 30, I will ID them.

I just put it down to good genes! Height can play a part, but I look at someone's face more than anything else.
