I think part of it may be that we're living longer...people are staying in school longer, or going to college later, getting married later, etc...if you look at old movies and TV shows, people in their 30's already looked old, at a time when the average lifespan was about sixty. Better health and medical advances are making us look and feel younger. That doesn't mean that you have to act immature, however.

People used to overestimate my age by about 15 years, but it's slowed to about 5 now. I like to think it's because I'm wise beyond my years and not because of hard living and insomnia. But who gives a damn - I bagged a good looking dame years ago and we she turns sixty I'm trading her in for two thirties! ;o)
