I think what you (the OP) is saying is that just because I am only 23 years old doesn't mean I can't, for example, be a better spanker than someone in their 40's. In fact I'm positive I am. I don't care how old you are; talent, skill, willingness to learn, AND number of hours of experience with one particular activity ALL are factors in experience. I get sick of people assuming that because I am only 23, and new to a particular section of the BDSM community/play party, that I am inexperienced. Thanks, I have more experience under my belt than half the people there, including (and especially) the ones over 50. I guess I just get sick of the proverbial patting of the head when people see I'm 23, and of getting told that at 23 I cannot possibly have as much experience as I claim (~4 years, if we don't include the couple years of soul searching and denial with few play dates in the middle of it). I lost my virginity at 16, but was Domming at 14 though I didn't know what it was called then. However... I also agree with Celeste that being with people close to my age-range is important to me, from the world-influences angle. I don't assume that someone my age is more or less experienced than the guy 10 years older, but despite the fact that I get along great with people 20 years older than me, I'd rather not date them. Just a personal preference.
