looking early twenties while I'm 26?

I hate when people ask me if I'm still studying or, god help, still go to school.

I'm 26 years old and have graduated nearly 3 years ago, but I look very young.

I fear this plays against me as I'm not taken seriously and I feel it can hurt the chances of me getting a new girlfriend.

    Actually there is something good about looking younger. when you are 30, you will look like 20s. When you are 40, you will look like 30s' ,etc...

    One of my relatives is like that also , my family have this trait and we always look young, energetic and fun :D

    Would you like to see your skin falling down to make them take you seriously ? It's not that good actually.

    Be happy the way you are, people may not take you as seriously, but you will actually be able to make more friends because you look more joyful and friendly. You will enjoy your life a lot looking young :D. I sometimes play with teenagers and have fun together haha like PS , XBOX or some sports ; so I'm able to feel and be young and energetic. Actually even sex should be even more fun if you always look young haha.

    You have a gift you can enjoy whether you have or not have a girlfriend.

    They will take you seriously when you prove that you know your %hit at work. It may be a nuisance now, but when you get into your 30's and 40's and you still look 10-20 years younger than what you are, you will be thanking GOD. It shouldn't hurt your chances of getting a girlfriend at all, my husband has a babyface. He wears a beard and it helps him appear older. He was worried about his job. He is over a lot of guys that are older than him by 10-20 years and he wanted to be taken seriously. He keeps it close to the chin and not bushy. I hate bushy! I dread hunting season and the fight for the deer. The beard grows until they finally are able to shoot one. Anyway, once they see how he performs and runs the job, and that he knows what he is doing, they respect him even though he is younger.
