WTP – the difference is that I do seem very young for my age. Most people who don’t know better think that I am way younger than I am. When people meet me, they think I am younger because I look younger, but the funny thing is that even when people just speak to me by phone (and have never seen me), they also think I’m much younger. I think it’s because I have a youthful personality or something. What’s even funnier is that even on this site (where people can neither see nor hear me), I think that many people may have thought at first that I was younger than I was (in addition to thinking I was a boy), until I disillusioned them.
Maybe that’s why I forgot my age – because I’m so used to people thinking that I’m much younger :).
I think that this may have to do with what Mammele wrote earlier – that men age faster than women do. I think that by and large most of my friends who are around my age look much younger than most men I know of similar ages.
