In all my socially incompetent glory. Let's play a game - what age am I?

Damn, last post on the page.

Anyway, it's time for me to decide on my facial hair situation.

Today, I look like this:

I let it grow out more before I trim it back to more or less what it is in that picture. Historically, I have also rocked a circle beard:

I could also go clean shaven, but have no photos of that. So the options are:

1. Stubble
2. Full Beard
3. Circle Beard
4. Clean Shaven
5. Other (specify)

Opinions?
I think that being clean shaven would suit you quite nicely. You've got a youthful, fresh-faced look to you.

Went from musician beard:

to no musician beard:

I've always had my doubts about going clean-shaven (especially living in a society that frowns upon such acts and labels them 'borderline homosexual') but I love the freedom and the resulting stubble days after gives me a sophisticated look I could never pull off on my own. Sticking with it for now.

Because you're asking... I'll say 24-26.

That's a generous assumption, since I think I look far younger. You're exactly a decade off, though, and in the opposite direction. I turn thirty five later this year. I'm still waiting for this magical day that everyone keeps mentioning when they learn my age, about how I'll suddenly appreciate looking so young. Bah!

Mother of genetics I can't believe your 34. You still get IDed?

I don't go to pubs or clubs anymore, so no. It occasionally crops up, though - getting asked if I'm eighteen when buying a game, for example. Or when I started working at my current workplace, I was only meant to be there for a week to fill in for someone, people kept assuming I was there for work experience and that I was still in secondary school. That I did correct, but people who assume I'm close to the age of eighteen, I generally don't, unless they're people I work with on a daily basis (and that's only five people in a multinational company). I get stared at often, because people wonder why a teenager is walking around with an ID badge. I'm so used to it now that I barely notice it any more.

The reason is partly genetics - my mother and sisters look young for their age, and partly health issues. When I was three, my parents noticed that my sister, a year younger than me, was beginning to outgrow me. I was put on growth hormone injections for the next twenty years, while throughout they performed all kinds of tests to see what was wrong - I couldn't tell you how many CAT scans I had. It wasn't until I turned sixteen that they first got an MRI machine and found the cause - a "fatty substance" lodged between my pituitary gland and my brain. There was some talk of risky surgery to clear it, but the specialist decided not to as there was little chance the gland would develop properly if the substance was removed.

The pituitary gland controls all the other glands in your body, so that means I have to take medicine to compensate. Some good things did come out of it - I never got acne as a teen, and I never have to shave, either. You can imagine it's still something of a bitch, though.

You look a lot better in the first image
 
Someone saw a picture of me on my wall and asked how old I was in the picture. I told him I was around 24/25. He says I look older back then.

So I went and browsed around to see my pictures and even going so far as to try and snap a picture OF the picture (which turned out shit). The problem is that I can't get any good old pictures of myself to compare. All I have is this horrible picture with a shit eating grin on my face.

Me around 23/24. I want to punch myself in the face too.

gnah! you really shouldn't talk like that about yourself! I forbid you from doing so! :D
