I have always been super mature to a point that as a teenager I would say how obnoxious teenagers were because I didn't count myself as one. I'm pretty sure I turned 35 instead of 15 that year. I joke around saying I don't care about getting old because I'm not in my 30's yet. I think once I hit my 40's I MIGHT get upset that I'm getting 'old' but I doubt it. Hell I'm getting excited that I'm going to be out of my 20's in another two and a half years. People say I don't look my age like Regina and I get carded all the time. Women tell me to enjoy it now cause I will miss it later but I'm more like WTF why didn't you card my husband?
When I was in college, one of my peers described me as a 20 year old who was born 40: I've always been an old man at heart.
Now, in regards to being carded, there's a particular occurrence that comes to mind. When I was 30, a group of my classmates had invited me to go out with them after our day's residency training (I had been doing an online master's program) in mediation was completed. After we grabbed some dinner, the group decided to go out to a bar. Now, once we entered the lobby and started to head into the bar, I was the only one who was called aside to be carded. Afterwards, the gal who asked for my id apologized to me and let me be on my way. Now, IMO, this was interesting, because from my perspective, I was an old guy dressed in a blazer, dress shirt, and dress slacks and would never have thought that someone would card me.
