    How to look older?

    Here's the problem. I'm 28 going on 29. I still look like I'm 20. People ask me all the time if I'm a student... I get asked to show ID when at a bar or buying a bottle of wine... I've been told I look like a work experience kid, I look 14 years old, I look like that kid from Home Alone... I've found working in the internet industry ok because people expect you to be young. But still, I feel sometimes no one takes me seriously because I look too young...

    Suggestions please on how to look older!
    Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.

    Get a short haircut & keep an unshaven look - works for me, I also look younger than I am.

      Get rid of the lollipop and the school blazer

        Damn I already do that. The whiskers get to me after about a week though so I have to shave them off...

          Use your right of substitution: find somebody who is 10 years older and send them in your place.
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              Good thinking. Are you 10 years older? Will you work for me?

                How do you know? You look too young for lollipops.

                    Wear a tweed suit and grow a beard. Wear a deerstalker hat with a couple of those fly fishing things sticking out of the flaps. Go around on a motability scooter.
