In my opinion it's easy to explain why Solidus looks so much older than his bothers (it's just hard for me to express my thoughts in English)
Solid has got all the dominent genes, Liquid has got all the recessive ones and Solidus has 50% recessive and 50% dominent genes. So he's well-balanced.
In nature a more balanced gene is a better gene. So Solidus' genes are "the best" genes possible.
Nature wants all beings to have the best genes possible so the being that has perfect / completely balanced genes shall pass on his genes as quickly as possible. That's why Solidus ages faster than is brothers so he's supposed to die rather than Solid / Liquid. So nature forces Solidus to pass on his genes quickly, so there can be more generations with better / perfect genes in the same period of time.
I hope you get what I wanna say. My English isn't good enough for talking about such complicate topics.

Yep, you find that out in the end call of MGS with Ocelot and Solidus, anyway, if Les Enfants Terrible happened in 1972, would that not mean that he would be of the correct age, as we dont exactally know when he became President. Anyway, it dosent really matter that much, it was just something i wondered

Solidus didn't have to be voted into office. Age isn't really a factor if you're placed there by the <B>Patriots</B>.

Well, if he was born in 1972, he'd only be 33 by 2005, when he was president. If he was president earlier, that would make him even younger.

Yes of course, but he would need to appear to be the correct age to the public.

But, the public would have to believe that George Sears actually were the correct age. Reading it wouldn't convince them enough, so they made him look older. That's even what it says in the Document, isn't it? And Solidus purposely modelled himself after his father for the irony or something. They both fought to get rid of the <B>Patriots</B>; Big Boss with Outer Heaven and Zanzibar and Solidus tried to recreate Big Boss' Outer Heaven in some ways, or at least try to make his father's dreams come true.

For it to be irony there needs to be some form of ignorance and/or some kind of opposite meaning to what he's doing. If Solidus is doing something similar to what Big Boss was doing it can't be irony.

Also keep in mind that Sears was the 43rd president in the Metal Gear universe (instead of the actual Bush), meaning that he was already serving his second term during the Shadow Moses incident.

I don't like to toot my own horn, I swear. This is relevant, tho: a theory I thought up concerning the Sons of Big Boss.
