Herne, in that last picture, you look like someone.

I won't say who it is because you've probably heard it before.

Please don't say Jarvis Cocker... please don't say Jarvis Cocker... My friends keep telling me I do and I can't decide whether they're being serious or not, which isn't helped by their laughing at me when I deny it.

I had to look up who that was.

No, I'm just referring to the way your face is turned to the side.

I think it's your eyes because your chin is different, but you kind of favor Clay Aiken.

You probably look totally different from the front so I'm not saying you're a spitting image or anything.

Similarly, I had to look up who Clay Aiken is. That's a comparison that works in my favour even if I don't see it myself at all, so thanks :)
 
People are getting kind of worked up about me wanting to get my teeth straightened since my orthodontist couldn't do a thorough job.

Regardless, thank you all for kind words :)

yeah. I've always had a bump on my nose I've wanted smoothed out and some dental work as well. When a was a kid I was terribly insecure about my nose but I've grown used to it. I don't think it's ugly anymore but i'd still get some light work done on the bridge.
 
Well, maybe bump this thread when you turn 36 or something like that.
You're 20...2

I'm 42 and i think i aged okay. I'm bald though and that sucks.

I'm gonna fucking regret this.

Yikes. I really did not age well at all.

It's just the hair, you don't look older than your age or anything. My brother is 25 and over the last two years he's lost his (except he grew a beard so it looks like all the hair just flopped down from his head to his chin). One of my cousins is younger still and he's completely hairless.

It's not just the hair, man. I started losing that when I was 21. That newer photo of me is a couple of months old now, I've now completely buzzed my hair. I have a fair bit of facial hair to make up for it thoughh. I get called upside-down face as I have more hair on my chin than I do on my head, haha. But it's also weight and the bags under my eyes and stress lines too. It's depressing to see how much I've changed.

Like I said, we can all be our own worst enemies. You're obviously not going to look like you did at sixteen since people change so much around that age. You don't look like you've changed all that much to me, though.

I get asked for id every now and then. I just turned 27 :(
Blew my workmates mind when I told her how old I was. She thought I was around her age (19) I laughed hard.

Me and my best friends recently compared a picture that was taken when we were 17-18 and a recent one (we're all 28-29 now)

Personal perception, init. I think I look older than my age, others say I look my age. I just kinda wish I looked after myself growing up. Drink and drugs fucked me up.

Jeez, looks like you discovered the secret to eternal youth. You've aged ridiculously well, Lucian.

I'm 35, and I get a lot of people who think I'm at least 10 years younger when they try to guess my age.

So yes.

Based on how my parents aged, I figured I've got about 10 more years before things start to slow down (my parents both had great vision, for example, but needed to switch to glasses around 45).

I think people have warped sense of aging.

Unless you're living a crazy stressful life and destroying your body, most people will look the same up until their 40s.

If you undergo dramatic weight loss you may even look younger as you age.
 
Only able to look back at teens vs. now (21), still pretty much the same, but I'm half convinced I took on some face chub or something. Probably being hard on myself.

I am convinced I'm gorgeous with some camera angles and dopey with the rest.

I was carded for an R movie in my late 20s...so you could say I've aged terribly or wonderfully depending on how you want to look at it :(
