Not a wife guy
Today, I went to a restaurant with my mother, where the waiter complimented my "wife". I'm not 18, and she's over 40. FML
Baby Face
Today, I was at work refreshing the shelves when a man turned the corner and said, very surprised, "You look 12!" A few weeks back, two people did the same thing, only they said I looked 9. I'm almost 21 years old, and just very short. Starting to get just a little self conscious here. FML

Small talk hell
Today, I told my boss her new haircut made her look younger. She smiled and said, “Oh, thank you!” I tried to double down on the compliment and said, “Yeah, like... 20 years ago younger!” She stopped smiling. It turns out that would’ve made her twelve. FML

Today, I was stopped by a customer who told me that I looked like a nice woman. I thanked him for the compliment and pointed out that I was a man. With an obviously male name on my name tag. And visible facial hair. FML

Today, while I was in a bathroom stall, I overheard my younger coworkers discussing my age. They said, “How old is she? Some days she looks like she's 35 and other days she looks like she's 58!” FML

Today, I uploaded a photo of myself at the beach on Facebook. The first comment it got was "Wow!! If I was 20 yrs younger, oh boy ;)". Yeah, thanks for that, grandpa. FML

I'm a mess
Today, I was at my usual grocery store when an elderly lady smiled at me and said, "It's so nice to see a young person not obsessed with their appearance." I was dressed in sweats, I hadn't showered, and hadn't brushed my hair. I’m not sure if I should be flattered or insulted. FML

Just think, when you reach 40, you'll look good for someone who should have died 10 years ago. You could be the hottest cougar at your high school prom.

If somebody thinks you look good for your age, it's NEVER a compliment. It means your "REAL" age somehow shows.

Edit: This is assuming you haven't revealed your age.

That's probably a good sign you're wearing too much makeup.

this. too many 18-20 year-old girls wear waaaaaayyyyy too much makeup...it's like girls use make up to desperately try to look older and then use makeup to desperately try to look younger weird cycle

I can't say I'm surprised.... I get horrified when I see girls as young as 12-13 wearing tons of make-up, tanning excessively, smoking, abusing alcohol....... it's amazing how much these can age your skin. I've always been careful about these things and people who meet me for the first time generally think I'm somewhere between 16 -18, although I'm almost 23

There are a lot of obvious benefits to looking older than you are. PLUS you got called good-looking! :)
