Recently, I was reading a novel and all I could think about was how much I preferred younger heroines to older ones. Now, everyone has in their mind and idea of what age is too old. I like to think the number I have in my head is reasonable. But, I do understand that this is a relative idea.
But, why do I prefer younger heroines?
1. They are easier to picture in my mind. I realize this is kind of weird, but when I picture older heroines, I usually add a few pounds, wrinkles, and gray hairs even if the author tells me otherwise. I can’t help it, I start picturing grandma. People rarely look like Halle Berry once they’re past the age of 45. I don’t care what the author says.
2. I’m not counting eggs. Yes, I said it. If they are old, I’m immediately thinking, you do not have time to waste if you plan on having children.
3. I’m young. There is a certain bias there.
Any thoughts?

Love is love, no matter the age! And love isn’t just for the “young”!
True, I suppose a good author will capture the essence of love no matter how old the main character is while bad writing will have me focused on their age
