Today, my boyfriend and I went to the local park for some romantic time together. By the time we left, I'd been called a pedo and a cradle robber, and been given several dirty looks. I'm 31. My boyfriend is 30 and just very baby-faced. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I took my son to the playground and watched him have fun. Minutes later, I was being shoved around and called a pedophile because I was there alone with no wife. By the time I convinced them I was innocent, my son was bawling. FML
Today, I was excited about showing off my new haircut. All my friends thought it looked really good and it made me look older. What did my boyfriend think? He said I look like a little girl and he was afraid to kiss me in public because he didn't want someone to think he was a pedophile. FML
Today, I met and asked a cute girl out on a date. We decided to meet at a fancy restaurant downtown. When I got there I saw her sitting with what turned out to be her parents. They made a huge scene, calling me a pedophile and a low-life. Apparently, the girl was 16 years-old. I'm 25. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because he says, "There's too much of an age gap between us" and that it makes him "feel like a pedophile". He's only four months older than I am. FML
Today, I went on a date with my boyfriend to our local park, and I playfully climbed into one of the baby swings. I planned on having him push me, not getting stuck and having to be cut free from the seat while he laughed. FML
Today, I, a forty year-old man, went to the store with my teenage daughter and infant son. I got some very dirty looks. FML
Today, I finally got to see my boyfriend, after two months apart. As we hugged, he lifted me up and spun me around like in the movies. It would have been really romantic if I hadn't hit a little boy while he was riding past on his bike. I've just traumatized a little kid. FML
Today, I was at the park with my new boyfriend. We were sitting between some trees when some of his mates turned up in the park. He pushed me behind a tree so his mates wouldn't see and went to join them in a game of football. He pretended not to know me. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my girlfriend's family. Her 7 year old brother told me he was feeling sad, so I tried to give him a pat on the back, but it turns out he had a bruise there. He yelled out "don't touch me there!" In the middle of the mall. Now her parents think I'm a pedophile. FML
Today, I got yelled at and called a pedo by a mother after I sat down in a swing next to her daughter. I was too embarrassed to tell her that I'm a 20 year old who really does enjoy swinging in my spare time. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Males generally don't look their age as much as women do I feel like. It could also mean your boyfriend is a hottie so congrats.

Maybe some facial hair would help? Besides that, try to ignore the stares. As long as you're not doing anything wrong, then you shouldn't need to feel insecure, and those people can mind their own business.

That is when you both pull out ID and make them feel like horrible human beings.

What kind of park was this? Sounds like people went looking for a cougar and found you! Lol.

There's an old saying that I live by: "**** what people have to say." Helps me deal with the seemingly endless stream assholes in my big city. As long as you're in love, be glad.

It sounds like he's more than just baby faced, does he dress a certain way to make himself look super young? Or do you happen to dress or carry yourself in a fashion that makes you look older? I just feel like a baby face alone wouldn't spur people to say rude things..

If there is one thing I have learned from FML (and life) it is this; people don't need to be spurred into saying rude things. It seems to come naturally and without provocation.

I'm 30 but look 16. My boyfriend is 42. I don't even worry about it anymore. I actually enjoy the shock on people's face when they realize we are a couple.

Well in all fairness you were in a park.. tell him to start playing on the playground that should really raise some eyebrows.

Yes, he's 30....or IS he? *dun dun dunnnnnn* (j/k, I'd believe it. I'm 25 but I still run into people who think I'm 16-18).
