That's normal, for anyone really, it stops around 23 where you don't look like a teenager anymore, more or less. What age you look like doesn't matter on the attractive scale, for guys in general. Brad Pitt is still consider handsome, and he's 45 years old, and looks that age even though he's a celebrity. Would I say he's less attractive now, no, women do like an older guy look. Am I saying he's the best looking guy, no way, or at least in today's world. He will age, eventually, and age will catch up with him. Then sooner or later he's another "old-school" actor, probably within the next ten years.
I am not saying you're good looking either, just saying looking young is a good thing for now, it's normal. It's not really a bad thing either, youth is more attractive than being old looking *especially women*, but it doesn't determine if you are attractive.
Gabrielle Carteris in beverly hills 90210 in 1990 she was cast as andrea zuckerman and was 29 playing a 16 year old so it does not neccesarily stop when you get to be 25 or so.

And for that matter I have seen some people teens to mid or late 20's who look older than I do. Age hads nothing to do with how old you look. It's a combination of genes,good health and overall outlook on life.

You look 38-44... so those teenagers and twenty year olds look 44-60?
I find that hard to believe honestly...they must be doing something to themselves to look that bad. Junk food, drinking, partying, no sleep, drugs probably, sun tanning 24/7, yo yo dieting, smoking non stop, energy drinks, stretching their faces, tons of sex with strangers, depression, dying their hair ugly shade of blonde or messing it up, go completely skinny, yellow teeth....
eh, is it even possibly to look that old that young? I can understand looking 30 at 22, that's a stretch but it's possible. I can understand 16 looking 26. 18 looking 50?

did i miss something in the message boards where you & lmarrie dislike eachother or are you just being unnecessarily rude?
with that said. thank you for contributing & answering my question on age range.

Well, nothing wrong looking early 40's, there's a role for everyone. Some people look good at 40 like Shania Twain. I just think it's highly bombastic to proclaim that someone looks younger than some teenagers or twenty year olds. I see some old looking ones, but never looking 50. --- Your welcome.
While I think Mystique said it in a rude manner...
I too find it hard to believe lmarrie sees teens who look older than her. I think someone is just not being honest with themselves.
And yes, there are lots of people all the way up to 30 who play teens. Tom Welling was 26 playing a 16 year old on Smallville. Nicolas Brendon was 27 playing a 16 year old on Buffy. If anyone has seen Gossip girl, you know a lot of those actors haven't seen their teens in a while. So I think it's just people's opinions. In my opinion, some people who play teens look nothing like teens. But in other people's opinion they do.
