Fuck them. Females like baby faces, and those same people will begin to hate your never aging guts as time goes on.

Still, you may want to try to put on some weight, trim your hair, and acquire some nicer clothes. Do that and you'll be set.

It's good advice OP. Best wishes.

 

[Scribble]

ianp, you kind of remind me of Iain Lee:

Your names even rhyme! :lol

 

[bathhouseterror]

Hugh Laurie vibe I think. And that's a great thing if you ask me.

Hopefully he's not going for this. Looks like Buck Angel.

Do you have a sister with the same problem who I can date?

 

[Medalion]

You are still very very young OP... don't let anyone pressure you to think this or that is the ideal look for someone your age. Yer still practically a child in the grand scheme of things... just recently out of teenagehood, you are excused a few more years to look young...someday you will wish you held on to those days longer... you can still get away acting young and making mistakes...older you get, the harder it is to get away with it without looking weird or creepy. Sometimes no matter how hard a person tries, there are some who will always look young... don't force it or else you like try too hard and come across looking ridiculous.

building muscle how? are you filling out your clothes more? increasing your bench from 40 lbs to 60 lbs isn't really building muscle - it's just increasing strength in long dormant muscles.

BTW, muscle doesn't just appear from nothing. you must eat to build it. in your case, you must eat a lot.

eat clean, eat healthy, and keep lifting. actually, you could probably get away with eating not so clean and still see considerable gains, provided you are working out regularly.

Thanks for the clarification. For the past month I've been eating a whole egg omelet every other day for breakfast, with a bunch of vegetables. The meats are overpriced and just not worth it, so I don't go for those. For lunch, it's pretty much anything with chicken in it, usually I get a grilled chicken wrap with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ranch. Dinner is different every time, but I usually eat a good amount. I could definitely just eat more of dinner, but I don't know what I'd put in between meals during the day.

Serious question: can you afford cosmetic surgery?

Maybe, but I don't think I'd ever do that anyway. The two major things I don't like with my face is that my nose is pointing off to the side a bit, and my lips are thick but narrow. However, lips generally become thinner and wider as you get older, so I don't see the point of doing anything with them anyway. What did you have in mind.

And does everybody really think I should wear a fedora?

 

[atkbob]

I've never understood the "I can't gain weight no matter how hard I try" line. It just doesn't make sense.

 

[wolfmat]

No

Deal with how you look.

 

[Beardz]

Never heard of "fast metabolism"?

 

[whitehawk]

I'm the exact opposite. I'm 17, and people say I could pass for early twenties.

 

[Misterinenja]

I've never understood the "I can't gain weight no matter how hard I try" line. It just doesn't make sense.

You're just not been there. My weight doesn't change nor up or down no matter what I do. Well I can get some muscle weight but anything else is pretty much impossible. Got the super fast metabolism from my dad. I should became fatty when I'm past 30.

 

[ianp622]

I've never understood the "I can't gain weight no matter how hard I try" line. It just doesn't make sense.

When I was not working out at all, eating candy almost every day, drinking at least a glass of regular soda or root beer a day and whole milk, and never exercising, I was still 115. Now I don't drink soda, rarely eat candy, drink reduced fat milk, and lift weights, and I'm still 115. The only difference is now I have a 4 pack.

 

[Mr.City]

Be that as it may, your body burns off a certain amount of calories and weight will be gained if you manage to consistently eat over that amount.

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

samez. I don't even have a beard or mustache. I mean I get stuble afte ra few days of not shaving, but thats it. People say its just my facial features that does it. Although people always think I'm boylemic (thers a pun in the spelling) since I'm 6'4" and like 140 pounds. Can't gain wait. Didn't even as I smoked weed daily for a year munching out.

 

[Beardz]

Well yeah, I bet if you start eating buckets of lard you will gain weight, but that's not the point.

 

[DieNgamers]

Growing facial hair will make you look older. Oh, and don't cut your hair, you will look a lot younger.

Yeah, those two things... that's what I was going to say. Also if you think about it you're still young, right?

 

[Mr.City]

Well yeah, I bet if you start eating buckets of lard you will gain weight, but that's not the point.

OP must eat buckets of lard and become heavier to get man face.

 

[agrajag]

Fuck no, dude. :lol

 

[Tornado Condor]

I'm 5'6"". I basically had no muscle before, could only bench about 40 pounds. Now I can bench about 60 (not max, how much I work out with, you know 3 sets and all).

Side question - do you think I could do a reasonable job of cutting my own hair in some areas, such as the back and sides?



I drink soda about once a month now, but I drink a lot of water instead.

Wait, you couldn't even bench a normal barbell?

Yep, go work out

 

[agrajag]

I'm 5'8" and pretty skinny at 135. You must look like an Auschwitz survivor.

 

[Mumei]

You do look 14.

Spoiler

So do I. :lol

 

[Ace 8095]

I once thought I couldn't gain weight, but then I started eating upward of 5000 calories a day. Getting strong and gaining muscle is difficult but not impossible for anyone.

 

[Az]

keep the shops comming :lol

OP is see that you drink a lot of water. I would cut down a bit on that (even though its good for you) and drink a glass or two of milk every time before bed. For you to gain weight you'll have to eat something before bed, or add a meal to your regular diet.

Also depending on your facial hair, growing a stubble would not look bad. It all depends how your facial hair grows.

For your hair I would cut it mid length, about half the length you have now and style it a bit different. Ask the people that cut your hair to show you some pictures of shorter hair styles.

6"4 and 140? Wow, I'm 6"2 and about 200.

 

[ianp622]

I think facial hair is out of the question for now. When it grows in, it grows in sparse, so I'll see like a cm long hair in a couple spots, not spread out in every pore. I've been shaving regurlarly, but I'm waiting until it's more consistent to let it grow out.

 

[WJD]

I'm the exact opposite. I'm 17, and people say I could pass for early twenties.

This. It helps for getting served in bars/restaurants. Being out with people that also look fairly old helps too.

 

[Beardz]

OP, go to the gym, eat a lot of carbs and proteins -all day-, lift more weight/less reps.

 

[revolverjgw]

6'4" and like 140 pounds. Can't gain wait. Didn't even as I smoked weed daily for a year munching out.

SWEET JESUS are you the lead singer of Deerhunter?

Not that I'm one to talk, I'm 5'9 (and a half) and 130. I feel and look like I'm as skinny as a dude can possibly be without dying, so I'm worried about you.

OP, cut your shaggy hair and you'll be alright after you gain some weight.

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

I'm 5'8" and pretty skinny at 135. You must look like an Auschwitz survivor.

Basically. If I even lift my arms, my ribs are showing hardcore.

SWEET JESUS are you the lead singer of Deerhunter?

haha no, although they were here (Pittsburgh) a few days ago.

 

[WJD]

Also, on the subject of weight:

I'm 5'11'' / 160lbs. Does that seem healthy? Too little, too much?

 

[Pterion]

About 3 weeks ago, I decided to buy a lotto ticket out of the blue (hey, I want a GT-R now). I just finished working at the hospital and went to a store on the main floor to buy the ticket. I'm 24, but the cashier thought I was under 18, so he asked for ID. He was surprised when I showed him my hospital ID card. Then he says ''you doctors keep looking younger every year''. :lol

Ok, that's a point. Then wait a bit and in two or three years you will totally look like this!

Maybe you'll need to dye your eyebrows, though.

 

[kassatsu]

Never change. :lol

 

[whitehawk]

Wow. Like other people said, I'm 200 pounds at 6"2, and even I feel lanky sometimes. Go out and binge on fast food dude.

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

Hahah, I don't mind it. Girls always run up to me and go "Oh, I just love how I can wrap my arms around you!" and shit like that. So it has its benefits.

 

[agrajag]

So are mine, and as I said, I'm 5'8"! Jesus!

 

[Narag]

First thing I thought of.

That's really nice!

[demon]

Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, but "looking young" for a guy is overrated. Women want to look young for their age. Men just want to age well. Matthew Broderick has always looked really young for his age, for example. George Clooney, not so much, but he's the sexy beast Matthew Broderick will never be. I'd rather be 35 and look 35 but good for my age, than be 35 with a babyface that makes me look 23.

So to look older, he has to look like Dave Grohl/Jesus?

 

[WJD]

He's all man.

 

[Link Man]

Sunglasses. You look a bit doe-eyed.

 

[Alfarif]

I would say looking 14 is the least of your worries.

Oh man, you had to go there.

To the OP, cut your hair shorter, and try your damndest to grow a goatee or something. Damn, son, you look younger than people say my wife looks.

 

[koam]

I'll add a bit.

- Lose the pimples, seriously wash your face more often
- Gain weight / hit the gym
- Join a fight club. That will give you a rougher older look.
- Sleep less, baggy eyes will help
- Upgrade your damn wardrobe
