I've always looked older than I really am, but it's never really bothered me -- it's always been more advantageous than disadvantageous (e.g. I was less likely to get my ID checked when making underage beer/tobacco purchases), at least up until now.
The thing is, tonight I went out with a girl I'd met in one of my classes (dinner and a movie, no big deal), and everything went well -- the movie was good, she laughed at my jokes, yada yada. But, when I was driving her home after the movie, she said to me (more or less out of the blue) "How old are you, by the way? If you don't mind my asking..." I knew what was coming, but I managed to suppress my groan. And, since I'm a glutton for punishment, I replied "Nah, I don't mind you asking, but you've got to guess first."
She guessed that I was twenty-nine.
And it occurred to me that it no longer behooves me to look seven years older than my real age, if for no other reason than that it makes it more difficult for me to meet women my own age (who, I assume, would be reticent to date a guy who is seven-odd years their senior, or who would be disappointed to learn my real age if they are after an older man).
So, how do I make myself look younger? It shouldn't be that difficult -- I'm a 22-year-old who wants to look like a 22-year-old, not a 50-year-old who wants to look 29, so it's not as though I've got to bust out the liposuction and wrinkle cream and all that jazz. I've considered regrowing my afro (since I've yet to meet a thirtysomething caucasian sporting an afro) or wearing more loud hawaiian shirts, but I don't want to invest the time/money in an afro/new shirts only to discover the technique(s) don't work (or have the opposite effect). Any suggestions?

I've been pretty lax in the shaving department. I'll have to get on the ball with that...

Yeah, I sent one to Orange for the yearbook. I think I might have also posted a real one on the picture thread, but I don't remember if any of those were real (aside from the picture of Taco the cat).
Edit: I checked, and it turns out that the guy with spaghetti on his trousers is actually me. I wouldn't have had that problem if they hadn't made the spaghetti so damned delicious.

I'm still trying to figure out whether or not she's a booze drinker -- she's a muslim who obviously isn't very conservative, but that doesn't really answer the question. If she's a booze drinker than that makes my life a whole lot easier, since that means that I can stop worrying about the potential for a religious schizm, because when it comes down to religious conflict it's only the booze that matters.

Oh sure, there's no denying that -- people often seem to take me more seriously than they ought to, which really helps out professionally. It's my unprofessional life that I'm concerned about.

Maybe you could stop being a condescending ***** and that would help.

No. You said that you were unemployed. Then LATER you described your employment situation. I agreed that you were working, but you never noticed that. I just think you're an *******, that's all. Not lazy. I have no basis to make that assertion.

OK, you're right. My mistake. Can you please quote where I said you were lazy?
And more on-topic, if she doesn't care about how ****ing ugly you are, I'm sure your age will not matter.

I've never heard of pot making you look older, though. Actually, my two pot-smoking friends look far younger than their real ages.

I haven't got any wrinkles, though! Honest! I've got a couple of gray hairs, but that's about it, and those are easy enough to take care of if I ever have a mind to...
tandee: What part of "**** off" did you fail to understand? Does "eat **** and die" do a better job of filtering into that neanderthal brain of yours? Please, I'm trying to help you, but if you can't even understand simple english then I'm afraid that you leave me at a loss for words...
