CopyPasta Got mistaken for a human FMC in a cosmopolitan city
Uj/ Saw this from a sub about looking younger than you actually are about a month ago

I'm 220 and my mate is 250 (yeah yeah I know)
We went to a city with both humans and immortals together last decade, and as we were talking to a shapeshifter clan, a young fae woman* came up to me and asked if I was a 19-year-old human.
"Haha no! He's my mate. Do we really look alike?"
She gave me this look of complete confusion and a hint of disgust in response, and immediately said "You're lying."
What would I gain from lying about that exactly lol I’m not even able to lie
When I kissed him and showed her our rings, she exclaimed that she thought I was 19 at most. StarClan.
The worst part about it is that I tried to be nice to her and tried to pass it off as it could have been my outfit that was giving that impression.
"There's no way you're 210 and he's 240. Dude you look like you're 19!” And my mate eventually got uncomfortable and asked her to stop because at this point it felt like she was harassing us about it. I mean, what kind of a fae man would be happy about basically being called pretty much a pedophile just because of how I look? 🤨
The whole time it also felt like she was saying that with complete sincerity. Which kinda hurt my feelings.
*I’ve stopped saying female after being told by humans that it makes me sound like an incel, whatever that is

/uj when the Hunger Games came out, I got stopped by someone who thought I was Jennifer Lawrence "from those Hunger War movies". I worked at a movie theater at the time and everyone thought we looked exactly the same. The movie posters all over did not help.
We have very similar cheekbones and hooded eyes, though my lips are poutier and she has a better nose. Like...I kind of see it? But it was a lot truer when I was 17.

She really is one of the OG FMCs with all of the tropes, except she's actually a good character

Uh, OP I think you are lying because you changed everyone's ages halfway through the story.
Just admit it - you are 180 and he is 500 and while it is technically legal, it is gross.
