How does it affect you? Would you treat someone the same if they had a different age then expected? Personally age doesn't matter too much to me. In any type of relationship the main idea is to relate. If we can understand each other and relate you age probably doesn't matter too much to me.
On online communities like here at AG it is sometimes had to tell the people's age that you are talking to. There is some people here that are obviously under the age limit and I usually will just ignore them because they are annoying.

If you're forty and waking up with a massive hangover, either you're doing something right, or more likely you're doing something very wrong.
The tragic thing about today's young adults are that they commonly either feel or are made to feel "old". "I'm getting old", they moan, then list a bunch of ailments they believe to be in the realm of the octogenerians. Then they go and have mid-twenties crises in which they realise they have no idea what they're doing with their life and this is supposed to not be the case.
I think older people are easier to talk to. I'm not scared of getting older. I know people who're twenty or thirty or more years older than me. We get a long just fine. I wouldn't go back if I could. I do think that 16-19 are the best years of ones life. But don't quote me, what would I know about that?
