John, I understand your quiry of this young man, but don't see the need for it. He is young and is more comfortable with his peers. I know he is missing out quite a lot by this limitation, but time will heal most of that. I am over 70 and have found a significant number of younger (usually middle age) men who only want to be with seniors like myself. Is that also being ageist and, if so, is there something wrong with it? I think not. They have their reasons and many of these reasons make good sense. I guess my point is that we ought to ease up these kinds of personal preference and save our challenges for those who suggest violating c-h-i=l-d-r-e-n, relatives, a-n-i-m-a-l-s or are racists, h-a-t-e mongers or attack religious tenets.
