I have been asked for i.d twice this weekend. Once in Morisons where they ask everyone, and once going into a club with friends who were at least 10 years younger and did not get stopped. I shouldn't mind, in fact should be flattered, but I'm 40! :huh:
The door man was rather shirty when I laughed, and tried to explain that I was born in 1970
I now know I am getting old because I have just finished writing a stiff letter to the clubs management. :small-print:

Do you look or act your age?

Shrek 2. SInging along with 'Ever fallen in love with someone" by the Buzzcocks and explaining to astonished son that it came out (aaaarrrgh) - 30 years ago.
Otherwise I know I don't act the same as my Mum did at the same age. But I don't know if that's because she had 3 kids under 12 then or because of the social changes that have happened in the last 35 years. She was old before she was middle aged - if you see what I mean. I intend NEVER to be old (even if the joints are slowly stiffening up)
Or at least be totally disgraceful.

i don't think that i would be that bothered by being asked for id. my only problem is that i never carry any lol
whips
Me either Whips, so had one of those conversations that left me feeling all a fuzzled with a condescending upstart telling me that I was lying to him. Hence the stiff letter. If he had been polite and taken it in good fun then explained that he could not let me in w/out id Id have been fine, but his attitude stunk.

Well i asked my partner the question?
DO I ACT MY AGE?
The answer i got was
Sometimes i do act my ages And othertimes i dont act my age..
And thinking of the answer that my partner gave me.
The only thing i can say to that is the answer is spot on....

I'm 32, people tell me I look about 24, and I probably act about 12, seems to be some kind of downhill slope, hopefully I won't reach the uphill part...lol

I'm 33 but my imaginary age is 25.
When I was 31 I had a spate of folk guessing my age at 23; I adopted it as my imaginary age and have just carried on counting up since then!
I'm told I don't look my age - which pisses my team leader off as she is nearly 4 years younger than me, yet folk always guess she is older. I tell her it's a rank thing... rather than a wrinkles thing!

I think I look pretty much my age. As far as acting ones age, I can, when need be. In fact ever since my teens I've had comments that I have an old head on my shoulders. Older friends frequently turn to me for advice.
I don't intend to ever "mature" if maturity means becoming beige.
In the words of George Bernard Shaw;
“We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”

When I was in my early twenties people often guessed I was older than I was, this used to really bug me! :lol2:
Late twenties now, and I get viewed as young at work as most of my collegues are at least 10 years older than me. Plus I get ID'd buying alcohol especially if I don't have make up on!

Thats me too ! Never ID'd when I was younger but been done twice since Xmas and I'm 30 ! I should feel flattered but I get all flustered, I dont have any ID day to day that that has my DOB on it..... Instead I showed her my grey hair lol
Always thought and felt a little older than my years but 30 has been the best year yet for people saying how young I look when they hear my age, fingers crossed it continues lol

Hang on I am a bloke - were all 12 really arnt we ?
Some days I look younger, other days I look every one of my 49 years and some! As for acting my age? Hell no! I intend to still be riding motorbikes, moshing to heavy metal at gigs and doing my band manager duties for some time to come yet! And the day I give up sex you may as well close the lid!:evil2:
I have always looked older than I am. I can't do much about it - I take after my father. It used to be an advantage when I was a teenager. Now I use it as an excuse for my absent-mindedness. I am coming round to the idea that if people can't see past the way I look and find the person underneath, then it's their loss, but it's been a long time coming.
Hi nimbus, sorry you got the bonehead on the door. No point ever in having a dispute with these people. I was too young to enter pubs at a time when people didn't mind if you did so. As a 16 y.o. you went out with adults, you sat quietly with a bottle of light ale or something, progressed to pints of mild at 17, and were well behaved. People assumed responsibility for you and that made you responsible for their good reputation at the local. As to whether I act my age, I don't know what that means so probably not. I've always acted like a mature teenager, I think, since I was about 12. As a schoolboy I fancied girls in their 20's & 30's. I'm 61 now, the only thing that's changed is I've got older. Hope the establishment responsible for your unpleasantness take it like grown ups and make it up to you. Have fun xx

When I(mr) was younger people always thought I was older sometimes almost distressingly so. When I was 19 I was in a pub and flirting with a lady who had caught my eye. She asked me how old I was. I said "Guess". Yeah, I know I was asking for what followed as she replied 30. When I said 19 she nearly choked on her beverage. Now I'm in my thirties people seem to think I am in my late twenties. I don't understand it, maybe I am regressing.
As for the soon to be missus. She gets asked for ID all the time even though she's in her thirties. Comes from working with kids I think. Seems to be some kind of anti aging agent. The fact that she so full of beans may also be a contributing factor.
As for acting your age, balls to that. Just act however you feel comfortable. Neither of us act our age. We still act like we did when we met at uni. But, Hey if you wanna act your age then why the hell not. Just be yourself and don't allow your age change or define who you are.

Do I look my age...no idea, I really can't judge that, of course I think not, but I'm biased.
Do I act my age...I'm a man, few of us ever get any more adult than about 15

I sometimes pick up my best mates prescription. He is on sticks and just 6 months older than me (46 this year). A couple of years ago he went to the chemists the day after I did to collect some delayed meds. The pharmacist said "Oh, a lady picked up the rest yesterday - your mother wasn't it?".
He could hardly tell me later for laughing.
Apparently I don't always look my age - sometimes I look 70. :mad:

yes
but a wiser person* than me said growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional, growing wise is essential.
A bloke with the mental age of a 12 yo but with wisdom cant be a bad thing.

I know the dispute was pointless, but I am afraid I'm an argumentative cuss when riled. The politest person going until injustice stares me in the face.
I was sober, had more clothes on than three others added together, and polite: maybe that was where I went wrong, I just looked out of place, hence suspicious.
My childhood was spent in a pub (no jokes about publicans daughters, I'v herd them all) so am used to "older, but not mature" comments flying around. Do I act my age, if you ask the nimbus juniors, they wish Id be more like other mums, however I say I am just me, irrespective of age. :cheers:
