So I am gonna be 28 in a month and I look like I am 19. Everyone tells me so. I sometimes get 17. Now I wouldnt mind looking so young, if it didnt cost me respect and game. I have no friends, and I am sure its cause everyone wants to treat me like a kid cause thats how I look. I have been working out but I am only 140, most I have ever been is 150. Still, I am a smaller guy. I have done some things to try and look older and bigger but if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Grow A beard .

If I shave I look like im 12 (I'm 22) even tho I have a beard I still look young but it's more about being able to grow a beard then having one.

I'm not talking about a huge mainly biker beard. I mean something after a few days of not shaving . Find a length that suits you.

Also choice a wardrobe that doesn't make you look like aTeenage kid.

Confidence is key tho if you have low confidence especially with in youself (innerconfidence) then you will seem a lot younger towards people.

Your talking to 105 pound 5'5 tall guy.

A beard will help.

I also think it has to do with how you feel about yourself.

Do stuff that will make you feel more "manly" and your natural masculinity will project onto other people.

Beards do help but stubble is a lot more effective. If you're that young looking I think the more facial hair the better to really make you look a lot older. A lot of the guys you see who grow stubble or a beard of some sort keep it that way because they probably look like kids without facial hair. I know I look young when I shave and it annoys me to no end. Even when I have stubble I still look around three years younger than I am which is preferable to be honest. I don't ask their ages as long as they look around 21 but I almost always get told I look a lot younger. The plus side is when you're picking up an older woman you can always pull out the "You think i'm that young? Haha, i'm actually X." Makes them feel better about going home with you that night and less of a cougar.
