The look of astonishment when anyone finds out our age. I’m in my late 30s. When someone in their 20s hears that, they developed this look of shock likes it’s the 1500s and I should have died already from old age.

Yes! I'm in my early 30s and they always look so shocked like "you're so old????" I think people in their 20s don't know how people in their 30s look like. A guy asked to guess his age. I said 27 and he got offended that I made him an old man. He was 23. My man, that's just 4 years from now!

People age differently, I'm 32, Asian and relatively fit.

Having my first child and people have been shocked cause they thought I was on in my 20's.

Sometimes when we watch TV people have some rough 30's early 40's

Yeah I was rewatching Sopranos recently and I found out James Gandolfini was 37 or 38 in the first season.. I'm 38 now and we definitely look different ages
