There is already a problem where girls develop quicker than boys during puberty. It wasn't unknown prior to mandatory ID checks on the doors of nightclubs for underage girls to get in to drink because they looked old enough. It works the other way too, many a time I see young women ask for a child ticket on the buses because the drivers don't ID them.
Are men and dating sites going to ask women for photo ID (which would have to apply to men too) with an increase in the age of consent to protect their backsides?
Unfortunately, people lie.
Say you're 23, hooking up with a 22-year-old.
Psych! She's 20, you're now a rapist! Have fun with that!

I think you misunderstand what I quoted. That would be legal.
The only thing that is not allowed is sleeping with someone under 18 while you being over 21.
Of course, 'lying' would still be a problem then as it is now, and would be under any conceivable system unless you directly address it.
