This is not a knock on anyone, but of course in "general" older couples are going to be more accepting of younger couples, as in "general" most younger people are in better shape physically and bear less "scars" of aging. *(again, this is in general, there are exceptions) (and with scars i refer to gray hair, wrinkled skin, the general physical changes everyone is going to experience some time or another.)
there are large differences in life experiences and where people are at mentally with age differences, things like money and kids, marriage and divorce play a major part in people mindsets... again, in general, a 25 year old couple is likely to have minimal in common with a 55 year old couple...
this isn't to say that there are expections to this generalization, but we can readily understand why a 25-30 year old couple don't want to go on vacation in a resort that is predominantly filled with 45-50 year old couples.... just as a couple that spends a lot of time in the gym and is very careful on what they eat would probably not enjoy going to a resort that 50% of the people are overweight or just don't take care of themselves
like it or not, youth and fitness are two very desirable characteristics in people and those that do not have them are probably most likely to be open to all other possibilities, as they do not have the same options of the young and beautiful....
the female half of us is 34, and has no desire whatsoever regardless of looks or fitness level, to have a man 25+ years her senior have his hands on her, she thinks its very creepy, but, she would have no problem having drinks and conversation, general partying... its a different level....
just saying....
