I look younger than I am, too. If people assumed that my pictures are old, that's their problem. I included dates on all of them.
FWIW, don't look at the face. Look at the clothing, interior decor, model year of car and condition it's in, what people around them are wearing, etc. There were a few guys on OLD where it was so obvious their photos were taken in the late 1990s, it was ridiculous.
I don't think men would be good at judging some of that, and my guess is neither sex does much thinking like that re pictures. There also might be timestamps on photos, but most people do not know that and personally I think it would be invasive. Basically, we're back to gut reaction to face vs. listed age.
Every time I thought "wow, this guy looks very young for his age" and actually met him, he didn't look like his pics AT ALL. He was either gone fat or bald since they were taken.
But if you include a date - yeah, of course it is not a red flag.
This has been marinating in my head for a day:
Men are more likely to use significantly old pictures, whereas women are much more likely to use photoshopped or other misleading recent pictures, meaning that it's women (or gays, I suppose) who more need to watch out for men who look suspiciously young. Correct?
I said no, because of personal experience. People age at vastly different rates. Some 35 year olds look 50. Some 50 year olds look 35. I am in the later category. Back when I used my real age on OLD women would accuse me of using old photos or having them photoshopped.
though I do find it funny and unbelievable when I come across a woman's profile where she looks 60 but claims she is 40.
