Do you know anyone that looks at least 20+ years younger than their age? (light, male)

I'd love to see a photo of this 80-year-old. I'm almost 50 and look it, but if I told people I was 80, I would expect them to laugh in my face because there is no way someone who looks like me could actually be 80.
Well, I'm not going to post a pic of my cousin on here (born in 1943, so she is 76). But, she does look like she is in her 40s. Perhaps closer to 50 than 40. Full head of black, soft hair, no wrinkles, and no turkey neck. She is tall and has a plump face, but not fat. Just zaftig. Her husband, who was kind of a hippie dude back in the 1960s, looks like an old man now.
This usually comes up if I make a reference to my high school years or military service, where world events of the time clearly define how old I must have been (for example, if I mention that I was in high school when the "Challenger" disaster happened, that very firmly places me as a teenager during the 1980's.) Independent of my sister, most people seem to place my age at about 35.
Me too LOLZ -- was a junior in high school when the Challenger went down. I'll let you do the math.
Anyhow, still no wrinkles. Not by my eyes nor by my mouth. Full head of (still un-dyed) hair. Just lucky I guess. People usually guess between 36 and 42.
So this whole thing about getting carded means nothing. My dad was carded at 65 years old. And he looked 65 years old. I get carded sometimes, and I look nothing like 20 anymore.
I get ecstatic when I don't get carded. It happens very rarely. The only place I don't get carded @ is the liquor store on the corner b/c I go there so much
I don't think the people who work in retail who ask to see your ID is an accurate reflection of how people perceive your age. To a kid, anyone over 35 is old. Once, I accompanied my friend who was 42 at the time to the movies. She had salt and pepper hair. The kid who sold the tickets gave her a senior discount. He was not corrected. It happened to me too in a Dunkin Donuts where I was charged the senior discount on Wednesdays even though I wasn't anywhere close to being a senior citizen at the time. It's usually kids working behind the counter who have no idea about age and who don't really care.
Stores that sell alcohol or cough medicine often have a sign stating that they will ask anyone under 50 for ID even if it seems obvious that the customer is over 21.

I get carded for the movies. @ 37. It's sad, lol.
I got carded a couple weeks ago.... when I was buying cough medicine.
So are you saying you're 37, and could pass for 17?
I'd have to see you in person to believe that.
No, that is not at all what she/he is saying. I made a comment that many people get carded, even though they are over 60 years old. That doesn't mean they look 20. That just mean the clerk is covering his or her ass. So Jdawg8181 was just responding to me.
He had his son and daughter in law living with him. He went home, went to bed and died.
A shortish, wiry guy ,few wrinkles and dark brown hair which didn't look dyed. Vey active. Every year he went the US to play in a senior's base ball tournament. I thought he was in his early 60's ,maybe as much as 64. He was 81.
I don't know about myself. I don't look 71 to me, and remain a very young man inside. Various people have told me I don't look my age, but I suspect they were just being polite.
I guess it may be true that "inside every old person there is is a young person wondering what the hell happened" (anon) I tell you true, you're a young person. You blink, and you ain't.
Best age? Happy with my current age, as long as I'm healthy and dementia doesn't kick in.
As for 'miracles" of apparent youth; have never seen one of which I'm aware

Many stores have that policy. They ask for ID for everyone. One time, while I was online at the register, the cashier apologized to the person ahead of me, explaining this policy and asked for the customer's ID. The woman behind me, exclaimed, "please card me too, I want to tell my husband that I was carded." She was obviously way past age 21.
