If you were 20 and the man (or woman) that you truly were in love with was 38, but a man (or woman) of your same age fancied you and wanted to be with you? Would you go for the 20 year old because he was your age and it would better fit into "The norm" or would you follow your heart and be with the 38 year old? (btw, this is not my situation, just a convient hypothetical I would personally follow my heart, but I know that so many others would give up on true love and go for the same-ager just so it would please other people. And that is sad, IMHO. Love is love..it should know no race, age, religion...etc.
But what would YOU do?
