I was looking through very old threads and came across an old thread asking if age matters. I wanted to re-present this and add more context. If it totally does not matter then no explanation needs to be given, but if it is no it does not matter, BUT, it would in certain situations I would be interested in hearing about that. And if it really matters to you I would love hearing your viewpoint. I think some situations that might bother some people would be:
—lacking common cultural tastes or touchstones
—recent death of a parent/child
—lacking empathy for other age groups and what they struggle with
—energy level (this cuts both ways)
I am sure this list is not exhaustive and is purely for discussion purposes only.
