31-year-old trans MTF here... uploaded my most recent picture, and it said I was 20, female, and ice cold "Hmm...".

Uploaded a picture from about a month ago... same, except it said I was 19.

Well, I'm flattered it thinks I can't drink, and I'm glad I pass. Too bad it doesn't think I'm hot, but I've always preferred to go for cute over hot anyway.

I'm gonna dig through my photos and see how consistent this is... (edit: a couple more, 21-22, female, and still ice cold)

As an example (both me, and I'm in my early 30s): 24, "Hmm...": http://imgur.com/V1AMDfd 27, "Stunning": http://imgur.com/bmmJ2dg

I'm actually a year younger in the second picture than the first. Maybe it's the glasses?

I think the angle might also help. Your jawline is much less prominent in the second one, so that might be why it's "Stunning" rather than "Hmm...".

Here are the ones I used: http://imgur.com/a/yFwN4 -- the first one was taken today, the rest are all from the last couple of months.

Any chance of seeing a photo of you in guymode that it recognises as being in guymode?

In its defence, you do look very different in those photos. I wouldn't recognise you as the same person. That said, I'm surprised that it ranked you so poorly in the first photo.

Sure.

27/Hot: http://imgur.com/mHpvd5j 36/Nice: http://imgur.com/a2IKkRD 30/Ok: http://imgur.com/Vicvbq3

First is a year and half old, the other two are within the last couple months.

I don't know how much better this thing is than doing: IF detect_face THEN random_guess()

That said, I think I'd agree with its ordering of those photos. shrug
