Got told I look like a minor
Sep. 24th, 2009 10:36 pmby a lady while we were waiting for the bus at the public library.
The conversation started with her commenting at least it was a nice day to wait outside, though she should have worn a sweater like me. I was wearing my Pintsize hoodie. I commented I wore it because I was tutoring at the Christian School and had to be decent. Underneath I was wearing my rather tight, V-neck purple tank top so my cleavage, armpits and some of my belly (depending if I stretch and such) were showing. She asked me how old I was and I said I was 23 years. She was shocked and told me I looked much younger. I then jokingly begged, "Please tell me I look at least 20!" and she said I look 17 years old.
>_>
Then she said right now it doesn't seem like a compliment, but getting older usually makes women grateful to hear comments that they're younger than they really are. She said she knows when you're younger you want to look older. (I know these two statements are very general and there are exceptions and it's likely there are people on my friendslist who are exceptions to this stereotype.) She said when her daughter was 16, she could look 25 once she "got done" with her makeup. The lady and I both don't wear makeup. I commented I'm in too much a rush to get out of class to put on makeup and I scrub my hands over my face constantly. So true. Besides the general inexperience we both have. (She's in her 50's.) She also told me I was "beautiful." That was really sweet of her. :-)
So Matt apparently has a "beautiful" "17 years old" girlfriend. :-P And he's 22 years old, too.
There were no annoying people on the bus rides so that's a relief! Yay!
