How old do I look

[Mears]

in each of these photos? Recent events have made me come to believe that people think I look my age. ATOT?

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

 

[olds]

37

 

[OVerLoRDI]

Mid 30s

 

[Soundmanred]

38

 

[pelov]

Nice mustache.

Plotting to kidnap a fair maiden and tie her to some train tracks or are you heading to an art exhibit?

Sorry, I'd guess about mid 30s?

 

[Mears]

Ok, now I'm officially depressed. I'm not quite 30. Am I due for botox?

 

[destrekor]

late 20s to early 40s

guessing around 35.

 

[Baked]

It's ok, white people age faster than others.

 

[spidey07]

Mid 30s, early/mid 40s. Could even dip into 20s.

I can be believed to be 29 or 45.

Nah. I was honestly believing you were late 20s, but leaned on over-estimating.

Photos alone are difficult to age-guess some people, since many age very gracefully and will forever look younger than they are (I was figuring a younger-looking guy in his mid 30s).

In-person, it's a little easier.


Unless you look drastically aged or have a forever-young look, a decent-aging progression will make it easy to confuse the age of males between the late 20s and early 40s. If you either do things that cause the appearance of aging signs (like stress or health-damaging activities), it's easier to pin-point age - but without any external cues (kids, voice, behavior, vigor, career level), that age bracket is a difficult guess.

You probably won't look old and tired by time you're 40 or 50, if you take care of yourself, so definitely on the right track.


Honestly, I wanted to guess 29, but I didn't want to take the chance of giving you an ego-boost in case you were mid-to-late 30s.

28 and 30

I wasn't going to comment, but, well... this.

Is the top pic more recent? Definitely a better look than the bottom.

 

[spidey07]

Don't worry about it. Between late 20s and early even late 40s we all look the same.

 

[Lifted]

Lates 20's - early 30's.

Can't believe some ppl said 40's. Must be trolling you.

 

[rcpratt]

I was going to say 32. So don't feel too bad.

 

[dighn]

first pic: 30'ish
second: closer to mid 30s

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

30,34 were my guesses.

 

[rcpratt]

I also strongly agree with the suggestion that you stick to the A look.

I work with a lot of guys in the 40s who could easily pass for early 30s/late teens. A few in their early 50s that look 33 when you're shocked they've got the kids out of the house and outta college and they're a grandpa.

If you take care of yourself 30-50 doesn't really change much looks wise, you just look like...a man.

The majority of us do tend to have hair that grays or recedes somewhere in that time frame, unfortunately, which gives a bit of an idea. And I think most men do not consider the possible ways to remedy those things in the norm of "taking care of yourself."

They were both taken today. Stache was something I was trying out. Hair was the same cut with 4 weeks of growth. Hard to keep my hair at pic 1 length unless I get a cut every other week.

Tell me about it, I've got a forehead that could blind mars. But facial features and everything else I can look 32 or 45.

I dunno. Pretty obvious difference between 45 and 32. But then again I'll probably be telling myself the same thing when I'm 45. lol

Hell, most men don't consider lotions, so that much makes sense.

I see guys with skin of dry and cracked the hands look like dry riverbeds. Hell, some look like a series of canyons carved by rivers.
That's risking things to much. But then again, if I don't use lotions, I can't even get to THAT point before I get bloody spots on my knuckles or webbing between fingers.

I've also vowed to take care of my body in every way I can think of, which in some ways is simply skin-deep, others are more rooted... simply because I don't want to be an old wrinkled and bed-ridden mess when I'm a senior citizen. I want to still have muscle definition, still be able to run, and keep up with or, hell, beat the lazy youth when it comes to fitness.
Being able to do that is possible for many people, but not if you neglect your body until its too late. Bones and joints alone will be too unforgiving with too much neglect, to the point recovering to peak form is impossible.
Of course, various diseases and defects can crop up no matter what the hell you do in life, but for some, it's simply neglect.

I'm actually starting to enjoy strength training and running, versus having done it these past few years out of necessity alone. I hope to keep this up, while slowly try to keep improving my nutrition, for as long as I can. Here's to hoping my efforts pay off and I can still run comfortably (and maintain a good physique, not anywhere near what I want just yet though) when I'm old and retired (if I ever get to retire ).

Could not agree more.

Thanks for making me feel awful about my lack of gym visits lately and the Quiznos that I'm about to go get.
