My dating profile is technically accurate

Fictional launch letter

Dear Duck,

My best dating photos are several years old. I still feel like that person. Can I use them?

— Six Years Younger in Photo Three

Dear Historical Exhibition,

Include current photographs in which someone could recognize you arriving. Feeling like yourself is excellent. Requiring your date to perform archival reconstruction is less helpful.

Keep an older picture if its age is clear and it says something worth sharing. The point is not to prove you once had a magnificent holiday. It is to invite somebody to meet the person who can actually turn up.

Your turn.
