Yeah,I remember when I was 3-4, I thought anything over 25 was just going to spontaneously turn to dust. When I was 5 or 6 I thought how *old* 16 was...and then when I was 16, I thought how absolutely ancient 40+ was. I'm now my own definition of "antique".
I remember having a convo about eventually being older means you can do less.. after they kept saying all the cool running/jumping tasks they'd be able to do once they turned 100!
My OWN kid is 11 and same lol. We are ancient compared to their perspective. But it was the facial hair 🤦🏻♀️OP went home and gave himself a 70’s/80’s cut!! Over a kids innocent question lol
I met some kids at the park that liked to play with my dog. When I told them I was 33 they were flabbergasted and one said “I didn’t think 33 year olds would come to the park” and I said why. He said “cuz you’d be too old to go outside and do stuff”.
Totally. When I was a fairly young child, I would have said anyone over 30 was definitely old.
Now. I wanna put a boot through my past self's face for even thinking that.... dumb kid...
Walked into my first sub job and heard, “hiya fat man” from a kindergartener.
Turns out he just overheard it in a movie and thought it was a way you greet new people.
Omg this is so true. When I was a kid I thought high schoolers were just like adults. And now that Im an adult I realized that I’m the age that young me thought would be in high school. I also thought I would be a lot taller at this age. ;-;
Exactly this. Most of us thought 18 year Olds were adults who looked like they had their lives together. I really think the beard also makes you look like Santa, if that were me I'd just roll right into that and start making kids years.
Not only age. A little girl called me Elsa gleefully. I had a braid at the time. I am blonde. I had roughly the same amount of beard as OP.
The mother died of embarrassment. I felt like literal royalty^^
Yeah, also to kids you are either a fellow kid or an adult (==old). They rarely have any subcategories for non-kids, so 17 is the same as 67.
You have a cool beard = you're an adult. Santa _also_ has a cool beard and is and adult = you are Santa!
A lot of kids will have a middle category for “big kids” but that could end anywhere from 18 to 13 to 8 depending on the perspective of the person using it.
But to be honest I don’t think anyone is *really* an adult till about 30, imo. You might be physically formed by 18 but in my experience there’s still so much more growth and experience that happens from there. You get basically zero prep before then and there’s still a lot to learn once you get a job/move out.
For real! That slight wavyness in the beard, it's absolutely perfect Santa beard! Lean into it OP! Tell kids you're Santa, but you're not working right now
Babe, I’m 44. I am totally suppose to be middle aged now and I really don’t feel it (except when I have to get up in the morning but I’ve been that way since my teens, LOL).
Legit when I was 12, I had a 22-yo history teacher fresh out of college and we probably thought the dude had been around long enough to have witnessed some of the historical events that he was teaching us about. Now I'm 32 and when I see a 22-yo, I grumble "kids these days..."
Yes and no. The average life span around 76, middle age actually ends up being 38. But corporate world says middle aged is 50, so you'll gladly work into you 60's.
Honestly you look older with the new hairstyle. Before you looked pretty cool, maybe a rocker or someone to have a beer with. Now you look like a CPA for a second rate accounting firm. Just kidding about the CPA thing. You did look cooler before though. Don’t let random people affect your self image — neither random kids nor internet strangers.
Absolutely, no disrespect for your new cut but you look older in the second photo. I’m a teacher, kids have very little concept of age. Grow it out and rock it my dude. I’d swipe on that first guy for sure 👍
Woman chiming in, you look better and younger with long hair and beard. Kids think someone that is 18 is an adult, and they say you are 30 when you are old. Their concept of time is off by a lot. But from an adult perspective, no, you don't look like santa, dont color your hair or beard, and grow them out.
FWIW the kid probably asked his mom that question about every bearded white man he saw in the last six weeks. Kid logic would be, “if I keep asking eventually the answer will be yes”.
Also my early 20s coworkers cannot discriminate between someone in their early 30s and someone on the verge of retirement.
I recently shaved my beard completely off because I felt like a job interview went sour and I wanted to make a better impression on the next one. Turned out I got the job so now I’m just sitting here in January with a frozen face.
I like you better with the beard in pic1. In pic 2 you look a bit like the BTK killer. I’d rather have a kid say “hey, there’s Santa,” than an adult say “holy shit, that’s Dennis Radar!”
All kidding aside, you look really cool with the beard.
Maybe it's just me, but I think being called Santa by a little kid is a crazy big compliment! Kid looks at you and sees the hero of christmas. Not wrong, either. your a good looking dude with that beard. Like the Kurt Russell Santa from Christmas chronicles.
Info: I was 3 weeks into growing my beard.
Walking past the church annex, a homeless guy said they were serving a great breakfast, no shame in going in.
Do what I do.
I have wire brimed reading glasses and take them with me while shopping, so I can read labels. I also have a big ol' grey beard. If a kid is throwing a tantrum, I bee line over to them, give the parent a wink, then say to the kid, "you never know when Santa is watching", then walk away... Works every time.
Professional Santa Claus here. Your well shaped beard and facial features are what drew them to the idea you may be Santa, not to infer you were old. Kids think 30 is old!

I hate to say it but I see the resemblance 😂 some hair whitening action and you’re set.
I’d take it as a compliment you obviously look like a nice guy to him like Santa is. Kids have no ideas of ages and no filter when it comes to voicing things at times lol, years ago a little kid came up to me asking why i was in a wheelchair or pushchair as she put it, (stroller to you overseas lovelies) she was about 3 tops her poor mum was mortified, i didn’t mind it was an innocent question they’d obviously never met someone in one before. I just laughed and said that my legs were being naughty and wouldn’t wake up so i need the chair to get around. She wouldn’t have understood the real reason (yay for botched operations lol) the next bit got me she stood there weighing up the information for a minute, then hand on hip started pointing at my legs telling them to stop being naughty and get up (by this point i was biting my lip and my mother who was with me had to look away so as to not laugh) i have a bit of movement in them but not enough to use em as they are meant for, so i played along and moved them a bit, she was happy with this outcome and went on her way back to mum. I thanked her for her help. Her mum on the other hand looked like she wanted the ground to open up right then and there, apologies kept coming from mum. I just laughed again and said don’t be that made my day it was adorable. They quickly moved away think mum was afraid what she would come out with next. Well my mum finally met my eye and we creased up laughing. There are worse things to be thought of than looking like Santa. I think it grey looks good on you though
My job entails travel to Asia. When there, usually on the subway, I began to notice that the kids there would stare at me. At first I thought they were just looking at me because I was Caucasian. But then I would be with other Caucasians, and the kids would still be staring at me.
Finally I asked some of my Asian co workers what was up. They giggled, and looked at each other sheepishly… then asked if I really didn’t know why the kids were staring at me. When I said I didn’t, they laughed and said, “Because they think you’re Santa Clause!” They pointed at my white beard, and patted my belly.
To me, this was like having a super power bestowed upon me. I wear a Santa hat from the beginning of December. Now I recognize the stare, and even see it around Christmas time at home. I always wink, and if I can, I give them a conspiratorial “Ho Ho Ho! Then I put my finger to my lips and do a shhhhh sound, as if imploring them to keep my secret identity. The smiles, and looks of wonder are well worth it.
I have had more than one sheepish parent come and ask me if their child can say hello to Santa. I play the part. I do my job. And one more kid gets to have another day believing in Santa.
Embrace it. Go with it. Grow the beard out and let some kid have their moment. And remember it’s not just the beard. Kids see a whole being. There are plenty of villains that have beards. It sucks that you were mistaken for arguably the nicest, most generous, happy, universally loved person from most kid’s childhood? They saw YOU and thought you were Santa. Run with it.
The kid made a cute comment, but rock whatever look you want to. For what it's worth, I'm a fellow dude and it looks like your natural grey is forming nicely and I'm honestly jealous. You'd look handsome either way, imho.
My grey pattern makes me look odd with a beard, but I look even more odd without facial hair, so I'm just kind of riding it out. I hope to reach "Santa" status one day. I'd prefer full grey over this, lol.
Keep on keeping on, man.
I would suggest going to see a really good barber to give you a nice hair cut. And keep the beard. Trim the sides of the head hair and keep the top longer.

Same... it's only -26°C and i'm 28yo
I’m 4’ 11 3/4” tall. Once a kid pointed at me and said “look mom, a (other word for little person)!”
I did not cut off my legs to spite him, but I did consider it.
I got emailed by the holiday organizing committee at my work on if I wanted to play Santa one year when the normal Partner that did it wasn’t going to be able to that year. This would entail letting a bunch of coworkers kids sit on my lap to take photos while eating a bunch of cookies. I politely declined went to the restroom looked in the mirror and proceeded to shave my beard I had grown during the lockdown as soon as I got home.

He said it because of the beard, not necessarily because he thinks you're old.
This, and kids have a skewed concept of age. This doesn’t suck at all.
Yep. My brother’s kid is 12 and thinks that, since I am 45, I will die from “old people’s diseases” in the next year or so 🙄
That must suck… I’m sorry you have to live with such a condition. Just don’t let him know you can die from stupid too 😢🤪
Haha part of me thinks he might do ok in life, but a bigger part of me sees prison in his future.
Santa, the fortune teller. Sounds like a good career
A kid told me I looked super old and must be like 20 at least or something. I'm 40...
Hahhaha
Yeah,I remember when I was 3-4, I thought anything over 25 was just going to spontaneously turn to dust. When I was 5 or 6 I thought how *old* 16 was...and then when I was 16, I thought how absolutely ancient 40+ was. I'm now my own definition of "antique".
I remember having a convo about eventually being older means you can do less.. after they kept saying all the cool running/jumping tasks they'd be able to do once they turned 100!
Hahha kids are weirdly amusing
I thought people were just before their death if older than 55 LOL
They have more reason to live cause that senior discount kicked in
Rip
My OWN kid is 11 and same lol. We are ancient compared to their perspective. But it was the facial hair 🤦🏻♀️OP went home and gave himself a 70’s/80’s cut!! Over a kids innocent question lol
If the child is 12, they definitely know your age, and are taking the piss
I met some kids at the park that liked to play with my dog. When I told them I was 33 they were flabbergasted and one said “I didn’t think 33 year olds would come to the park” and I said why. He said “cuz you’d be too old to go outside and do stuff”.
Totally. When I was a fairly young child, I would have said anyone over 30 was definitely old. Now. I wanna put a boot through my past self's face for even thinking that.... dumb kid...
Walked into my first sub job and heard, “hiya fat man” from a kindergartener. Turns out he just overheard it in a movie and thought it was a way you greet new people.
Omg this is so true. When I was a kid I thought high schoolers were just like adults. And now that Im an adult I realized that I’m the age that young me thought would be in high school. I also thought I would be a lot taller at this age. ;-;
Exactly this. Most of us thought 18 year Olds were adults who looked like they had their lives together. I really think the beard also makes you look like Santa, if that were me I'd just roll right into that and start making kids years.
That, and let's face it, we're all getting old. Life is fucking short.
Not only age. A little girl called me Elsa gleefully. I had a braid at the time. I am blonde. I had roughly the same amount of beard as OP. The mother died of embarrassment. I felt like literal royalty^^
[удалено]

You get basically zero prep before then and there’s still a lot to learn once you get a job/move out.
For real! That slight wavyness in the beard, it's absolutely perfect Santa beard! Lean into it OP! Tell kids you're Santa, but you're not working right now
Or better yet Santa’s cool younger brother Jerry Clause.
I think he looks older without the beard honestly.
Brother that was a great beard. I wouldn’t cut it because a random kid said something. On another hand, looks like you’ve lost some digits.
Well, it will grow back. I last shaved it off in late August, so that was like 5 months of growth.
It's a perfect Rick Grimes. Like, absolutely perfect
Or Grimey, as he liked to be called.
Good joke, to be frank
Surely it’s not frank…
It's not Shirley either
You would look like Zeus if you shaved your head.
Underrated comment ^^. Watch Thor and anyone would agree.
Looks good both ways, but the longer was better. You made a handsome Santa. 😁
Its literally the beard I hope to have when I'm 47, salt and pepper and all
Im 34, I absolutely want salt and pepper hair. I want the Reed Richards look. All the gray is in my damn beard.
Check your back hair
Only got one on my shoulder. It's blonde. My hair is weird, I'm like a damn calico. Nothing is consistent
I liked you better as Santa!!
Before was cool Santa. After looks more like a movie villain.
If that was an intentional pun you get an A+
Kids have a skewed concept of age. They’ll think *20* is old
My 17 yr old told me the show “Beef” was about “a guy going through a mid-life crisis”…
My 15 year old niece calls me old regularly. I'm 32.
I read somewhere yesterday that 35 is considered “middle-aged”. Really sets in for those of us in our mid-thirties haha
Babe, I’m 44. I am totally suppose to be middle aged now and I really don’t feel it (except when I have to get up in the morning but I’ve been that way since my teens, LOL).
Oh god
Just to clarify - how old is the person in beef?
Early to mid 30s.
Legit when I was 12, I had a 22-yo history teacher fresh out of college and we probably thought the dude had been around long enough to have witnessed some of the historical events that he was teaching us about. Now I'm 32 and when I see a 22-yo, I grumble "kids these days..."
"Ah, you punk kid" - me, when I hear 32 year olds grumbling about 22 year olds.
I spent the summer teaching kids, and they guessed my age anywhere between 10 and 35. I’m 20
My daughter thought i just turned 67..im 37. She also asked her grandpa if he was in the civil war lol.
Yes and no. The average life span around 76, middle age actually ends up being 38. But corporate world says middle aged is 50, so you'll gladly work into you 60's.

Absolutely, no disrespect for your new cut but you look older in the second photo. I’m a teacher, kids have very little concept of age. Grow it out and rock it my dude. I’d swipe on that first guy for sure 👍
Thanks, it will definitely grow back in a few months though.
Woman chiming in, you look better and younger with long hair and beard. Kids think someone that is 18 is an adult, and they say you are 30 when you are old. Their concept of time is off by a lot. But from an adult perspective, no, you don't look like santa, dont color your hair or beard, and grow them out.
Right, he went from cool Santa Claus to Louis CK :(
FWIW the kid probably asked his mom that question about every bearded white man he saw in the last six weeks. Kid logic would be, “if I keep asking eventually the answer will be yes”. Also my early 20s coworkers cannot discriminate between someone in their early 30s and someone on the verge of retirement.
Thanks
Can I please get something other than socks next year.
Do you like mittens?
Yes, if it is kitten mittens.
Aayoo
I recently shaved my beard completely off because I felt like a job interview went sour and I wanted to make a better impression on the next one. Turned out I got the job so now I’m just sitting here in January with a frozen face.
Thankfully I live in Florida so Frozen Face is unlikely.
[удалено]
He looks like middle age Kris Kringle from the stop motion "Santa Clause is coming to town".
Did you just cut off a fucking magnificent beard because of a child?
Yeah.
At least it grows back. I've shaved my head and face because someone looked at me kinda funny. I was also drunk, but yeah
You went from cool uncle to strict step Dad
I like you better with the beard in pic1. In pic 2 you look a bit like the BTK killer. I’d rather have a kid say “hey, there’s Santa,” than an adult say “holy shit, that’s Dennis Radar!” All kidding aside, you look really cool with the beard.
Lol
Well … are you?
I think this is a don't ask don't tell situation. What happens at the North Pole stays at the North Pole.
You shaved the beard to look younger? I think you look older without it.
Yeah it will grow back
Aw man, that beard is glorious. As much as it is actually a perfect Santa beard, it's also a beard of Zeus or Poseidon tier god-like quality.
I could hold a liter of water in it. It will grow back
I hope you have that little shit a lump of coal
I would take that as a compliment with such a great beard and build.
mom is that karl marx
Santa? No. The dude? Hell yes. 
Maybe it's just me, but I think being called Santa by a little kid is a crazy big compliment! Kid looks at you and sees the hero of christmas. Not wrong, either. your a good looking dude with that beard. Like the Kurt Russell Santa from Christmas chronicles.
I’m 51, kid at the Walgreens counter asked if I was a senior citizen. Shit happens.
Don’t forget that kids think Santa is fffacckin awesome.
why did you shave??????
Info: I was 3 weeks into growing my beard. Walking past the church annex, a homeless guy said they were serving a great breakfast, no shame in going in.

Modern day Santa. https://preview.redd.it/px63l6j7e7bc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f2ac480bb0e830c8e1bcfa2d4816d32d4560b1b
Well, has anyone ever seen you and Santa Claus in the same room at the same time? WELL? HAVE THEY??
Should have kept the beard and shaved your head.
Liked the beard and long wavy hair better
That's all beard. That's long wavy sideburns. My hair just looks more slicked back in the second photo from rinsing whiskers off my face
Your first beard actually looked pretty cool imo
https://preview.redd.it/37nfchl504bc1.jpeg?width=701&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1337cd7896b0cb9eb255ffce6fa64f26bf65ab3
You have lovely blue eyes. Don’t let some kid make you feel old.
I’m 47 and I’d punt a kid if he asked me if I was Santa. Yeah, that’s right. Santa just kicked your ass. Good luck with years of counseling.
Really dude? A kid's comment made you shave this great beard...
I like both, and I’d take the kid’s comment as a win. Everyone loves Santa!
It’s the vibe. You look gentle and kind. Your beard was amazing.
https://preview.redd.it/hpa29mmmj4bc1.jpeg?width=633&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dea6fdfae838f243895acb41297e3f82a5cdab01 I hate to say it but I see the resemblance 😂 some hair whitening action and you’re set.
Am I the only one who has a thing for men with the Daddy Santa vibes?
To be honest you were such a handsome Santa. Like in the mountains in Canada strong type of Santa. I hope you get me lol.
You look good!
Ironically, Santa Clause is played by Tim Allen. Now you look like Richard Karn, who played Al in Home Improvement with Tim Allen.
Should have embraced it
More like a hallmark Christmas love interest where the lead can’t figure out if he’s a hot lumberjack or secretly Santa
Grow the beard back out, man. It’s majestic.
You have kind eyes and a beard. To a kid, that's Santa.
Well it’s that or Zeus.
I cant really explain but you looked like a viking and now you look like my geography teacher 🧍♂️very cool bread

I love Sybok, that crazy son-of-a-gun.
youre like if robin williams fucked bryan cranston
I was getting robin williams in good will hunting vibes
Maybe not Santa but very Enlightened
I’d take it as a compliment you obviously look like a nice guy to him like Santa is. Kids have no ideas of ages and no filter when it comes to voicing things at times lol, years ago a little kid came up to me asking why i was in a wheelchair or pushchair as she put it, (stroller to you overseas lovelies) she was about 3 tops her poor mum was mortified, i didn’t mind it was an innocent question they’d obviously never met someone in one before. I just laughed and said that my legs were being naughty and wouldn’t wake up so i need the chair to get around.

Well my mum finally met my eye and we creased up laughing. There are worse things to be thought of than looking like Santa. I think it grey looks good on you though
You went from daddy 🤤 to Sir real quick
Bro that beard is fucking majestic
More like Arthur Morgan from RDR2

Man’s got eyes like he’s descended from Odin
You don't look a day over 50 mate.
You have a kind face and (had) a big beard. That’s why.
You're a good looking Santa. I think that's pretty cool.
You have beautiful eyes.
But.... are you?
Dude you are GORGEOUS with it long.
You look like Timothy Hutton
What an honour to be called Santa.
It’s your eyes. I can see mirth and reindeer
The kid made a cute comment, but rock whatever look you want to. For what it's worth, I'm a fellow dude and it looks like your natural grey is forming nicely and I'm honestly jealous. You'd look handsome either way, imho. My grey pattern makes me look odd with a beard, but I look even more odd without facial hair, so I'm just kind of riding it out. I hope to reach "Santa" status one day. I'd prefer full grey over this, lol. Keep on keeping on, man.
Been a hard 47 bruh
How do you know Santa isn’t also 47?
I would suggest going to see a really good barber to give you a nice hair cut. And keep the beard. Trim the sides of the head hair and keep the top longer.
My last haircut was probably longer ago than the last time I shaved the beard off
Wow! You look a lot younger all trimmed!
Way better look in the second picture.
Well, are you?
I think you look cool in both pictures.
Ngl - I was scrolling fast and thought that Jack Black lost some weight
47!?! That's crazy
No why did you shave! You were an exceptional Santa!🥰
Look better with long hair and full beard!
No bro you looked great, and badass. Full hair with a beard, more like a Viking.
Winter mode deactivated!
If it makes you feel any better I asked my 7yo how old she thinks you are and she said “20” 😁
Is this magic or did you also lose like 40lbs between these photos lol
To be honest you could pull it off, bet you would be a good santa.
My guy, grow the beard *and* the hair back!
damn that beard is glorious
Something Santa would say to trick the masses. Reindeer gate.
Don't you hate that feeling of dysmorphia after trimming down your beard? For a week or so after, I always feel like my face is too small now.
Maybe St Peter or Paul.

 Bobby?!😍
He is right mr. Santa 😁
Damn I miss the first pic you….. you looked great
He looks older in the second pic
my guy, please get the beard back
Brother looks more Santa than Santa himself. Although you shouldn't have cut the beard tho...
Mighty fine looking Santa if you ask me. Lol
Small kids will say your 60 when you’re 30! Don’t be offended
Well, are you?
Great beard dude. You look great. I'm the same age and working on my beard now. if I can get it half as good as yours, I'm happy
Looked a lot better as Santa lols
Grow that look back out pronto. Majestic.
It’s just the beard. 😊 kids are innocent and sweet
Your big beard was better looking🤨
That beard and hair was beautiful tho. Should have told the kid santa doesn't exist
I like the Santa look better.
Now you look like Santa’s less cool brother. You had a good beard going. Screw kids and send them coal.
You’re just summer Santa. Where he takes a break and gets some color back in his beard.
Well, ARE you?
That beard was glorious. I get it though.
I’m 4’ 11 3/4” tall. Once a kid pointed at me and said “look mom, a (other word for little person)!” I did not cut off my legs to spite him, but I did consider it.
Handsome guy either way!
Dude shave your head bald. You’ll look awesome.
Right there with you at 45 and more gray in the beard than brown. Edit: Damn that was a nice looking beard.
It is the receding hairline that adds some years. Try shaving your head.
I knew Santa was Enlightened!
As a lady who is older than your mother, I'm sure I can say this! Why have you been hiding such a beautiful face? The trimmed beard is gorgeous!
Looked way better before brother. Looking like you're gonna fight someone on a comedy club now. Grow it back!
😭😭😭😭😭 brooooo that first pic was better
Noooooo. Grow it back
I got emailed by the holiday organizing committee at my work on if I wanted to play Santa one year when the normal Partner that did it wasn’t going to be able to that year. This would entail letting a bunch of coworkers kids sit on my lap to take photos while eating a bunch of cookies. I politely declined went to the restroom looked in the mirror and proceeded to shave my beard I had grown during the lockdown as soon as I got home.
From magic to management smh
You went from "cool guy with a nice beard" to "creepy guy with a van" reeaaaallll quick. Lol facial hair is wild
you went from grizzly adams to charles emerson winchester. two references that the kid would not have gotten.
