Hey Asktrp, I'm 18 and fresh out of high school as of June. I'm recently single and am thinking that I might be headed for a mighty dry spell considering the fact that I look young as fuck. In high school I did alright with women as I mostly went for girls a year or two younger, but now I'm not in high school and I'm basically stuck going for girls my age and older (unless I try to start hanging out with high school kids which I'm actually considering). I'm not at university this year (and there is no university in my town) so there is not a many girls my age either. I will be going travelling in a bit for a few months but I assume most girls I meet while away will be older too. So what can I do? I work as a construction labourer / carpenter's helper full time and I have been going to the gym about 2-3 times per week (gonna try to up that to 4-5 times per week now that I'm single) so I'm in decent shape (big 3 lifts are squats 5x5 at 200lbs, bench 5x5 at 140lbs, and deadlift 2x5 at 260lbs) but I am pretty skinny and trying to bulk up (gained about 10 pounds since July but still only 160-165 at 5'11).

So the question remains, what else can I do to look older? Getting bigger will help, I'm sure but otherwise it looks like I might be in for a rough time until starting unit next September and being a year older than all the other first years.

P.S. Can someone comment on my slight fear that bulking, although it will make my body look more mature, will make face look even younger as I could be adding to my lingering baby fat on my face.
