I'm glad there are still young people who are able to be as non-ageist as you are, Crissy. (Very funny handle, btw. I wonder how many people get it.) My best friend most of my life was 30 years older than me--no sex but we were very close and it was a rich experience. He was comfortable with younger people, in fact he was like an eternal teenager. When friends my own age would be lazy and want to sit around, my "old" friend would hop up and want to go out and do any crazy thing I suggested. We had a blast until he died two years ago at the age of 79. Anyway, he had a couple of lovers who were much younger, and as much as I loved him as a dear friend and found him to be an overwhelmingly appealing personality, I could never see someone in their late teens or mid 20s being with a 50+ person, as these two were. But that was my own ageism. One time his 18-year-old lover took my wife and me aside and said, "I know you probably think it's wierd for me to be with someone so much older. But, honestly, as much as I like you guys--well, you would just be too young for me!" This young man later went on to get married, have kids and have a normal, happy life, with no regrets of his relationship with our older friend. So I think you should enjoy your life and if this is what works for you, more power to you. Ignore those who are bigoted against ANY age groups. It's as bad as any form of bigotry.
