hi and HELL NO! just curious why the age thing is so important. i'd say the same things to anyone who dismissed a person solely on the basis of age, religion, race, et cetera, ad infinium, ad nauseum. no-one deserves to be put in the "no" pile just 'cause they don't jive with ones ideal of a life partner. ideals are fairytales. quirks, idiosynchrasies, opinions, tolerances, manners, snores that keep you awake, under-handed toilet paper replacement, laughing through the nose, drinking the milk straight from the carton-- these are the traits that makes a person someone you could or could not love and live with.
