Over 38 need not apply. This is outrageous. But typical. You should see how many social outings groups are advertised on Craig's List with the caveat that everyone has to be under 40. I'm not talking about dating - certainly people have the right to include age in their criteria for a romantic partners (although the guys looking for women 10 years younger than they are are dreaming). I'm talking about movie groups, outings groups, dinner party groups.

If you're right out of college, I can understand that you would be intimidated by someone 20 years older than you. But I think people should have gotten over that by the time they're, oh, 28?
