People tend to feel most comfortable with others in their age group. Typically, a range of five to seven years on either side of a person's age creates an atmosphere of compatibility. People who share common interests (religion, political affiliation, physical exercise, children of the same age) transcend most age barriers. People are attracted to others who are most like them, or to those who offer unique perspectives.
