Our society especially today tend to give a great importance to superficiality, whether you are gay or straight. I've been frequenting diverse sites and all I see are the subgroups based on appearance that gays have created between fem, twinks, bears, tops or bottoms. Apparently as you say age has its importance as well, perhaps is the most important thing here.
Unfortunately all of that tend to trigger discriminations, and I think the gay "community" (I dislike that word) might be the most discriminatory one. Hiding under the paragon of preference, they discriminate each other by sometimes referring and categorizing people as skinnyfags; Blacks and Asians are sometimes systematically shunned for instance.
I don't say that having preferences is discriminatory; I have preferences as well as everybody does. But sometimes I have the impression that the threshold between having preferences and being discriminatory is extremely thin.
And even though you have preferences, is it rare to find an exception to your standards? I think people miss a lot by shunning different groups of people, be it with age, ethnicity or anything.
