Well I was you when I was 22, I looked 16. Forget about trying to sneak into a gay bar with a fake id like my friends. The good news it, when you get into your late 20s early 30s you will look more manly and hot to most people your age. It slows down too. When you get into your late 40s, people will probably think you are in your mid 30s. The catch is, your body wont do the same thing. You will get all the normal age related aches and pains. Even my doctor once said I was too young for something then she look at my chart and was surprised.
I swear, for some reason I get more attention now from men and even women then I did when I was young. Last week at a party some woman in her 20s was talking to me standing next to her husband. When a friend blurted out my age as close to his, she went on and on about how I did not look that old, she couldn't believe I was that old. Almost like she would not have struck up a conversation if she knew I was "THAT OLD".
If you hang out with people mostly your own age, you will be the hot one in the crowd. People will think you are attractive or take really good care of yourself. But they will not putty you for the same age related things they are going through. Because you look younger, they translate that to whinging. That is until you tell them you are as old as they are.
I have never had any plastic surgery, rarely take care of my skin and just this year starting to see a little silver in what is mostly very dark hair. Some people go grey really early in life, some never completely.
So looking too young now is a big plus when you get older. Speaking from experience.
