My friend’s kids said that I could pass for mid-30’s. I’m 45. I blame exercise, no smoking or drinking, and being too ashamed of my appearance when younger to go to the beach and get irradiated. ---

I just hit 49, and on a regular basis I’m told I look 40, tops. If someone said I could pass for 30, I’d jump in their lap and kiss them smack on the face. ---

I get told that I look about 30 or 31. I’m 38. No complaints here. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-was-just-told-i-could-pass-for-30-years-old/485620.md?page=2)
