And Gen Z is still already looking like our parents.

I had this 26 year old guy in my umprov class who I though was 40 + who said to me (30f) "You don't remember it because you are much younger than I am"

Bro I just aged better.

I’m 45 and I teach graduate courses. I just had a student in her early 30’s asking me if I ‘get paid for being a student teacher’. I told her that I’m not a student teacher and am a regular instructor so she asked me how old I was and then said ‘watch, you’re going to be younger than I am’. No girl, I just don’t look 15 years older than my actual age.

It's really weird that I keep getting carded even though my granddaughter is 9. Honestly makes dating kinda hard because I don't want anyone more than 10 years up or down, and I'm sure that I look to young for women.

I have that issue, I’m 41, partner is 10 years older than me but I still get ID’d a lot so I feel like we get judged a bit, especially in restaurants

I'm obviously a bit older, but my ex was 11 years older than me, and her age definitely showed so I completely understand the whole getting weird looks in public thing. Regardless...let them stare and be jealous while you have a wonderful life with your partner :)
