CassWorld - Same Old Song?

A friend's friend (a very pretty late 30's single mom living off huge monthly alimony) wanted to get a date with a Billionaire I wrote about last week. She called me to find out more about him and was very turned off to learn that he is 70+ years old. She said he was way to old for her. Let me just say that this gentlemen is who Bernanke would call if he needed someone to help orchestrate a solution to a world financial crisis. So perhaps what we have here is an expression of a cultural dilemma in this country called age discrimination. What is wrong with meeting an older gentleman at a nice dinner party? Why does she have to disqualify him immediately because of his age? If we're lucky someday we will all be in our seventies. Would you like to be discriminated against socially just because you've got much more experience than others? Is it right or wrong to be turned off by much older people going out with younger people? Post your opinions and experiences it on this blog!
