How old do I look?

[Matthew J. F]

Since my transformation I sometimes get treated like a boy instead of a man. I get question by the cops, and I actually get carded! Speaking of cops just a few moments ago I was starting to enjoy my nightly bike ride when all of the sudden I start getting stalked by a marked cop car. Then they flash their lights at me and then pull me over. If I heard correctly the male cop actually called me dude! How fricken sweet is that! My worst fears of having to show my ID was nerve wreaking, since it has the incorrect pronouns, my disgusting legal name PLUS my disgusting feminine photo!

Ok so back to the subject here.

So here's my newest photo taken a couple of days ago.


How old do I look?

I keep wanting to say a number but I can't think of just one... 16, 17, 21... they all came to mind at one point. Height can be a factor in determining one's age though and it's impossible to tell your height from a photo. I don't know you look like a teenager but also kind of mature. UGH it's hurting my brain!

I feel I don't have enough... "information"... in the photo to judge how old you are from that alone. It looks like you could be anywhere from 15 to 40 to me.

I teach at Uni, from your face I would say 16-17.

Sorry if that wasn't what you wanted to hear. But teens change quickly, and your size and weight and body proportions are all needed.

If you are 6ft or over I'd say 18-20.

My real age is 27 years old. I am 5'7 and about 160lbs from the last time I weighted myself, which was about a week or two ago. My crappy walmart scale doesn't work for nothing!

I hope I don't look 40 LOL.

You look good.

I would certainly identify you visually as a guy among the students I have, I'm probably taking 10 years off for lack of facial hair, and the punk teen expression, sorry, none of this is meant in anyway to be offensive. Your facial expression is of a child/teen. Guys of 27 have (generally) gotten over that look. Trying to look bad ass doesn't express the maturity i would expect from a 27 guy. My Ph.D students and medical student are at  that age and they have  started to 'settle in to their looks'. I'm not sure if I'm explaining that well, your picture suggests you are trying too hard to look  as  an image of you. 27 year old guys have been there and done it. Your image is that of learning to be a guy rather than accepting that you are a man. Loosen up a bit, at 5'7'' and 160 you are good, make sure you exercise., put muscle on, do go to the gym and work out. On these figures you have a totally excellent passing ability. Most FtM pass well any way but with your height and body build it should be great.

One additional thing for all FtM, smile. Practice how guys smile, snarling just looks silly. Boys and girls smile and express there face differently. Guys do smile, or at least look expressionless, many of my lovely brothers just look as if they want to pick a fight. Never a good idea.

Sorry I hope I have not offended anyone

Hugs

True... he could pass for pretty much any age.

I do have eyebrows but because stress related environment (I don't handle stress that well, unfortunately) I am somewhat like a bird. I have Trichotillomania, a hair pulling disorder. Here is a medical link for some details regarding to this problem. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002485/

I also have very bad anxiety therefor it does not help the situation.

It's good to send the link anyways. I use to be very closed about discussing the whole ordeal but I am very open about educating people now.

Before I read this I was going to say 27 >.>

I tell everyone that the gap of hair missing on my eyebrow is from a piercing getting ripped out. But really, i pull it out. Only in that ONE spot though...strange.
It seems that a LOT of us have problems with anxiety.

I was thinking 24-26...pretty close
