I'd say that "being told you look older" needs a much steeper drop-off. I don't know anyone who by age 30 is stoked on being perceived as older than their actual age.
I teach underwater photography at a local university as a side gig. Being around college students all the time ever since I was in college has made me feel young at heart.
We had a night dive a while back, but a thunderstorm came out of nowhere right before the dive, so we canceled and decided to go to a local pub for dinner. As we were walking in, all my students were getting carded, and the door man was taking it seriously. He was shining a light through the IDs, bending them, etc.
When I got to the door with my card, he waved his hand and said, "You're good."
That one hurt.
