Age
Went to a restaurant today for lunch. The waitress asked me if I was "from the high school down the street." Ack.
I was wearing a t-shirt and blue jeans, but do I really look that young? More importantly, what should I do about this? I'll take (appropriate) suggestions. Suggestions cannot include growing a mustache or buying a suit.

Perhaps its time for a little wardrobe upgrade.
I'm not talking about a suit, or even what the lovable Mr. Big wears on his night's in with the irrepressible Carrie Bradshaw. I'm talking about style and fashion, my friend. Its not that you were wearing a t-shirt and jeans that make you look young, its the type of tee and blues you were wearing. Men with baby faces need to get out of the clothing format they adopted in junior high and go to the next level. Then you can buy a beer and leer at women with true class.

Do not say a word. Take her home, and show her what kind of man you <i>really</i> are

If you're asked if you're in high school, reply yes, then order a beer. If someone makes the assumption, mention your ex-wife in Pittsburgh and bemoan child support. I look young, so I grew facial hair to look older. It didn't help.

gain weight.
for some reason, skinny people look younger. i think it's the mental idea of the gawky high-schooler that most people hold in their minds, if only because most people put on a lot of weight in college and associate skinniness with extreme youth.
the suit would be counterproductive, since a suit only makes skinny people look way skinnier, and/or look like they've borrowed their (much larger) dad's suit. thus making you look too young again.
and i definitely do not suggest growing a mustache. you'd look like one of the Village People. i can't decide if you'd be Leather Man or the Construction Worker, though.
