Is it normal british people look older than americans?

Not at all trying to insult. I'm sure some look their age or younger but MOST look a whole lot older and Is that normal?

When I traveled all around the UK for half a yr with friends, I noticed this as did my friends. They have lots of wrinkles around the eyes, their skin looks older, etc.

When we were there, we were all 25 and many of the people kept saying "wow, I thought you were all about 14, you look so young". One of them even said to us that when they were in America, they realized a lot of the girls look a lot younger than they are. I think that's not true, I think we look our age. In my country of America, no one ever says I look young, many think I even look slightly older but there, I was a child.

Even the cab driver made a comment, "are your parents coming with you?" and wouldn't let us in until we showed ID as he said he was concerned. We were all IDed too to buy alcohol and a man even asked me if I had a fake ID.

When we were in a museum and were near students from a secondary school, we were like "what? they're in high school and they look like that?" Apparently they were all 15 year olds. They all looked about 22-25!

Also, my friend's cousin is 29, she's English as is her entire family and her cousin looks about 55. She has about 100 wrinkles on her face and a sagging chin area as well as wrinkly arms. Her husband is 28 and looks about 55 as well as he has one patch of hair on the back of his head, about 5 wrinkles layered under his eyes, his jawline is hanging too like an older person (chicken chin) and he just looks a lot older. You would definitely think he was 50 something. Her younger cousin is 13 and looks older than us as well and when we went out, a 30 year old man hit on her! Because she looks about 30! She's 13.

We even went to a hostel and we thought we were the youngest ones there and were afraid to talk to them because they all looked old enough to be our mother/father until there was a mingle night where you meet everyone and we found out we were the second oldest there. All of them were 21-23! We were shocked and they were too. They said "wow, Americans look so young" (there were 6 of us) and all the other people agreed. They all said they thought we weren't even of age to be there and were confused. One person even thought we were the kids of the owner! The owner is 37 lol.
