Age doesn't matter at all to me. However, there may be some correlation between age and other things that might matter. I think that generally, when people talk about age, what they're really doing is using age as a proxy for other concerns: physical attractiveness, experience, shared culture, etc. Physical attraction is crucial to me; my submissive desires aren't stirred at all unless I'm sexually attracted to a domina. The relationship could be non-sexual, but the attraction has to be there, or I have no desire to submit in any way. Personally, I'm attracted to physically active, well-toned athletic and/or slender bodies that tend to be more prevalent among younger people. With that in mind, statistically speaking only, I'm more likely to fit with a younger domina. Experience tends to be positively correlated with age, and is something that many people want in a domina. It doesn't matter much to me. There's some advantage to a domina being experienced and really knowing what she's doing, but I see advantages for an inexperienced domina also. I like the idea of a domina using her accumulated knowledge and wiles to control me, but I also like the idea of being a guinea pig for a less-experienced domina as she experiments and learns. The only other things that matter to me dominant personality/nature and compatible interests. I don't think those are correlated with age at all. Of course, she has to be interested in me as well. I find that a lot of people simply won't even take a look at someone who's over some specified age. That means that a lot of younger dominas that I'd be interested in wouldn't consider me. That's perfectly understandable, and it makes sense for them to focus on what they want. However, it can be frustrated when people make assumptions based on age, when you're somebody who doesn't fit the mold. Pre-conceived notions about physical appearance and attitudes correlated with age often eliminate consideration of individuals who don't fit those pre-conceived notions. I try not to do that, and to focus on the underlying concerns that matter instead of the proxy of age. So, taking all those considerations into account, I'm statistically more likely to fall for a younger (than me) domina, but I'd be perfectly happy with an older one if the "things that matter" are there.
