Title: Compliment "You look older!!" :-)
Post by: nicolaus on May 15, 2014, 05:02:26 PM
Hey brothers,

Four days ago I've got a clipper shaved head at the barbershop and am feeling with it very well!! Today one of my friends gave me the best compliment:

"You look older than before. Finally you look so old as you really are!!"

When I had hair, I looked too young, in other words, childish. It was my inferior complex. Although I'm already 29, I couldn't buy alcohol sometimes because of my too young looking appearance!!! I wanted always to look adult. Then I grew up beard, but it was not enough. Now with my new hairstyle and beard I never look like a teenager. Here are 3 photos of me... Nicolaus with hair without beard,  Nicolaus with hair and beard, and Nicolaus with beard witout hair... All of them were took in last half year, but look totally different, don't they?

Could I ask your opinion, how old each photo looks? I'm very curious about your objective opinions :-)

Well, I still think you look younger than 29, but that isn't a bad thing.  You look significantly younger in the first shot.  The beard and clipper shave definitely contribute to you looking older.

Hey tobler1, Frontier Guy, thank you for your responses! Nobody ever assumed me to be 27 years old. Glad now not to be a young boy more, but to be a man! :-)

Hey AgentBald,

thank you for your response! 25 is a little too younger than my real age, but you saw too that my looking became much older thank this style. It was worth to do.  ;)
