Posting a much much younger looking profile picture.

How we once were.

This tactic whilst completely understandable doesn’t compute. 

Why state your age at forty two and then post a grainy black and white picture of what you  looked like in your twenties?  Maybe the thinking behind this zany strategy is to show how attractive they once were. 

Possibly so.  The reality is that no we’re not going to date you based on what you once looked like.  And if you don’t look like that anyone, accept the fact that we’re all going to get old,  do us all a favour and please just post a recent photo.
