I think it might be bc you couldn’t join Facebook before a certain age, so they lied to get Facebook. If the profile is linked to fb, it will show that age

Yeah I was about 11 when Facebook blew up for my middle school, you had to be 13 to join so everyone had to set their birthday to 2 years older, minimum, some made themselves 50 years older to be funny. Most of those ended up remaking their profiles in high school, but most of the people who only added 2-5 years to their actual age are still using that original account so I imagine that's the most common reason for the discrepancy. If they're disclaiming right at the top of their profile I wouldn't see it as dishonesty, restarting a 10+ year old social media account is a pain just to correct your age by a couple years for Tinder
