Yeah, I have never understood the age thing even when I was younger. :D  I think some people put more emphasis on it than others.  To me I've worked with some beautiful writers that were of varying ages and loved them for their minds and imagination and never once considered their age. Plus, in RL I've been on both ends of the May/December romances (I think that's the correct saying) so to me age has never been a big issue.  Though I do find myself feeling 'older' now that I got some grey in my beard and getting aches I didn't have, but otherwise feel young in the brain.
