I’ve always looked much younger than my real age. When I was 16 I got told I looked about 8, and when I was 20 I looked about 12. I barely remember my 20’s because of a long illness (which has now been treated) which impacted my memory, so mentally I feel like I’m at around the time where my illness got bad. I just dunno what I’m supposed to do when it comes to dating. Would most guys my age feel awkward or uncomfortable? Would it be weird to date a guy in his 20’s? I need some advice on how to nagivate this because it’s actually embarassing and the older I get the bigger the gap between how old I am and my percieved age
I’m nearly 32 but I consistently get told I look under 18. What do I do when it comes to dating?

Yo, straight up, IMO maturity is key, not what you look like. Plenty of people out there who’ll vibe with you for who u are, not how old you seem. Age is seriously just a number, it’s the person u are that really counts. Also, maybe it could be a plus? Eternal youth, amirite? 🤷♂️ Don’t stress, just do you. 👌
Honestly, embrace it! Some people love the whole “baby face” thing, and it’s not uncommon for guys in their 20s to go for someone who looks younger. If anything, it’s just a conversation starter, not a dealbreaker
Go and enjoy it cuz when your 80 your still
Gonna look hot so stop worrying and the right person will look at the person inside you not just how you look on the outside.
Hey, u/dreamage. TBH, age is just a number. Yeah, I get it, you look really young, but it’s all about the vibes, right? It might be awkward for some dudes, but the ones who get you won’t mind. It’s not about looks but rather connection. You’re worried about dating younger guys, but age doesn’t determine maturity. You may find someone your age or even older who gets you. It won’t be weird unless you make it weird. Own your youthful look like a badge of honor. Trust me, many would love that ‘problem.’ Stay confident, you’ve got this! 💪😊👍
As someone who always looked much younger, I mean to the point I’d be sitting with people my age and be the only one ID’ed all the time, I actually never found it to be an issue. Sure younger guys hit on me a lot more than guys my age but I have dated younger men and it never bothered me. I’m talking 5 year age gaps.
Definitely no reason to be embarrassed. If you feel younger embrace it. The right person won’t care how old you look in the end.

Chin up. You’ll get all the Cougars when other men have long resigned themselves to their fleshlights.
Bruh, don’t stress it! Age and appearance are just numbers on a scale. Focus on vibing with ppl who appreciate u for u. Guys your age who freak cause u look young? Maybe they ain’t the ones. Dating dudes in their 20s? If ya feel the connection, why not? Do what feels right to ya, forget the noise. After all, age ain’t nothin but a number, right? 💯✌️
Most guys are fucking disgusting and it will be a turn on for them.
