Smell is a powerful sense most of us don’t really understand logically. For example; We pick up clues as to a mate’s compatibility through kissing, tells us how compatible we are in order to have children with strong immune systems.
And yes, have you ever noticed how hyper-sensitive we are to age? We can dial in someone’s age at a glance, gender too! Watch people in traffic, just a peek, see how well you do. But we can fail, and we do, all the time.
Here’s a freaky fact I’ve seen born out over and over. Young women are terrible at guessing an older man’s age, usually aiming lower. Older men fail in the opposite direction, thinking a young woman is older. And that’s how we tend to like it! Older men want younger women and vice versa.
There is even a Wikipedia entry about it

If only there was some other way to tell if someone was old.

tl;dr: You all primates, get over yourselves.

Hey man, you just never truly know unless you smell someone.
