Speaking just for me, I don't. In the course of life, I have met old souls in 12-year-old bodies and 60-somethings that I would not trust with a burnt out match. It is not the physical age that is important but that which is within, the spiritual age of which maturity is a part. I look for a genuine desire to learn, to grow, to do -- those matter more to me than anything else. I tend to look for young for several reasons, and not just for the physical aspects. Being with someone younger (or young at heart) is a chance to see old things anew, to gain new perspectives on that thing, and to grow as a result. It is a good way to force growth in other areas as well, to keep from stagnating on matters of music, art, philosphy, and more. Yes, there are going to be things where life experience does make a difference, but even with that there are going to be cases where someone younger has a great deal more life experience in certain areas than someone who is older. All that means is that you take each individual and measure that person. Oberonex Considering the fabulousness of being 18 ( don't know about you guys but i had a great time), i consider it a damned shame most won't share a cup of coffee with their parents. *sigh* But it changes, as all things do, and they eventually begin speaking again, LOL. candystripper
