Response to Torrance Stephens

My comment was getting a tad bit to long.
From my point of view, age is equivalent to where someone is at in life. I understand that it is a concept that cannot be applied to everyone. However, I mentioned that I wanted to be able to grow with someone around my own age, who is walking my same path (being a college student and making their own decisions in life).Someone who is possibly 26 may have a different mindset,they have already established themselves and could be ready for the family life (I am not saying all individuals feel this way by 26). At the same time, someone who is 18 may have just gotten their chance of true independence and wants to go buck wild. And the last thing on their mind is a committed relationship (once again, I am not saying all 18 year olds feel this way).
At certain ages, people are generally going through certain stages in life and viewing things in a different light. When I look back at my past and see some of my past accomplishments, like learning to ride a bike, they do not seem as great as they did then. And I wonder if I date some one older, would they feel the same way about the current things that I am doing. Would they look at my accomplishments now and kind of dismiss them because it is no "big deal" since it is something everyone generally goes through in life.
Likewise, when I am around guys my own age, some just truly irritate me. Some are unable to communicate, step out side of themselves, or be mature. For example, I called an ex who I am still cool with to wish him a happy birthday. I figured he would be in class (since he is still in high school) but he answered his phone. I just wanted to wish him a happy birthday and call it a day, but out of no where, " Man there are two girls in front of me, and one is sitting on the others lap and they look like they like each other." I looked at my phone wondering, and thought to myself what was the purpose of him saying that. He giggled about it, and I quickly ended the conversation.
I am not saying age is everything, but I feel like it plays a role. If you put a group of men in the room varying in ages, you will see a difference in behaviors and manners. Those around the same age would have similar behaviors, It is not to say that age will soley be the cause of it, but it will be a variable. And it would be the same thing with women.
All I am say, Torrance, is that there are some qualities that are attributed to age.
