I've often been amazed at how old people really are in comparison to how old they look. I noticed that there is a trend in looking younger among certain nationalities over others. What do you guys think? Are there some nationalities that age better than others?

 

I don't know. I've seen people of all races that look younger than they really are, and I've seem people of all races that look older than they really are.

I think it's a combination of luck and how well you take care of yourself.

 

I'm 20. I'm American ... 100% Wonderbread. Heritage is 50% German and 50% English. I've heard anything from 14 to 30. No clue how they can be that indecisive.

<<<<I'm 53.

 

I know that there is alot of inaccuracey in judgeing the ages of other races... For me its Asian people, I cannot for the life of me guess the age of and Asian person accurately.

Im 24 of Irish heritage, look probably 22. Act probably 18!

I think Mick's age pretty well.

 

15
i've gotten i look like a senior in high school (teaching my orchestra teacher's friend to play a little cello) to a 21 year old (compusa, surfing the apple section, a sales man comes over and wants to help, we talk and he says if you want to put a deposit with your credit card it is ok, then i tell him i'm 14 (back then) and don't have a credit card, he tells me that i don't look a day before 21 and he turns red and says sorry)

 

I look like an undergrad student. I seem to give waitresses coronaries if they card me when ordering an adult beverage. Sometimes half the restaurant knows. I have to show my passport at the liquor store...which is amusing.

Socially it is flattering, but in the business environment it is a challenge. The downside is that my customers my age and younger think I'm a young kid that somehow lucked in to a Honda dealership, and some managers on interviews think I'm inflating my resume.

But my Asian friends that were brought up in a culture where asking someone's age is OK to ask when getting to know someone, all guess that I'm in my mid 30s. Which I am.

I haven't gotten a summer tan in over 20 years. I think that made a difference in how my face looks now.

 

I just watched Matchstick Men, you know, that movie where Nicholas Cage is a con man. There's this girl in the movie who plays his daughter and she's suppose to be 14 in the movie (Allison something or other). She totally looks like a 14 year old girl, but I find out that in real life she's really 22!? (at least she was 22 during the filming of the movie). If you've seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about. I'm like no friggin' way!!!!

 

31 now... I'm usually mistaken for about 5-7 years under my age.

 

I'm 29 Korean, but look young 20's.
My gf is a 26 year old Irish/Italian, and she looks like she's in her late teens. That's her in the avatar, she looks early 20's/college student, but she's NOT! She's a professional now.
