A Dutchman who wanted to change his date of birth to boost dating prospects has lost his legal battle to do so.
Emile Ratelband, still aged 69, wanted to change his birth date by 20 years to avoid what he called discrimination.
"We live in a time when you can change your name and change your gender. Why can't I decide my own age?" he said.
"If I'm 49, then I can buy a new house, drive a different car. I can take up more work," he said. "When I'm on Tinder and it says I'm 69, I don't get an answer. When I'm 49, with the face I have, I will be in a luxurious position."
