My wife is half Japanese and when I first met her she was 18 years old but looked about 13. I wasn't into young girls but she and her barracks roommate (we were both in the Air Force) ended up at my table at the NCO Club and we started talking. I didn't have a chance as she was such a great person and we fell in love. Now married over 34 years.
Anyway, she always looked so young that whenever we would go out to eat and she ordered an alcoholic drink others would stare at us, partly because they thought I was robbing the cradle but also because she was drinking, even though she was over 21. A few people got so rude as to confront us about the alcohol. and I would have to stand up and tell them my wife was not only of age but an E-5 in the Air force and worked in the Wing Commander's office of a Bomb Wing with 24 B-52 bombers.
Funny. Asians often age well.
The woman I served may have had an Italian background, a slight olive complexion as I recall. Mostly I was struck by the fact that she was pretty and looked young.
On another occasion I had two couples of bikers order a pitcher of beer. Wearing biker jackets with patches. The biker dudes were in their early 20s. Their girlfriends looked like teenagers. After awhile I saw the girls drinking beer and I hadn’t carded them. I wasn’t looking forward to doing it, but I walked over and said that I’d have to see ID if the girls were going to drink. The two bikers said ‘no problem’ and took the beer away from the girls without any hassle at all. One of the easiest groups I ever had to deal with. Softball teams on the other hand, could be belligerent and totally uncooperative.
