I look young (HS senior hit on me)

I'm 27 and look way to young for my age. I worked on the sell-side in London gained a shitload of experience but somehow women think I'm mich younger than I am. 

Highlight was where an incoming college students hit on me. Was super strange to almost make out with a 18 year old. Any tips?

Wouldn't really say this is a bad thing unless you look weak/cuck-ish/submissive like a little boy, I'm picturing you as a fratty good looking guy (hence getting hit on by interns) with a low hairline, good skin and probably a haircut that makes you look more youthful (lax flow). I wouldn't look too much into it or worry, maybe grow some stubble/neatly trimmed facial hair if it continues to be an issue. In my early 20s (AN1 - ASO3 equivalent) I still sometimes got mistaken for a college student in public, although this might be more what I tend to wear 

 

Congratulations, fuck you :')

I can relate to this topic.  When I was a teen, I looked very young for my age and it affected my confidence.  At the time, I wanted to look older, so I would not get carded at a bar and I wanted to appeal to girls my age.  The thing is looking young goes with you as you age.  Fast forward several decades, looking young is the thing that gives me confidence.  Both men and women comment on my physical appearance in meetings, which can be a little awkward but I love it.  If you look young, it is okay to date girls who are much younger but 18 might be a little extreme.
