Do you believe that you have reached a point of maturity where you can have a friend of any age?

I found that after I was a certain age [or maybe it was a stage of maturity], that I could be friends with mature people in all age groups [not just similar age peers]. Has anyone else had that experience?

Update:

.....this is my first time asking a question and I can tell already that it will be tough to find a best answer. People who like people of all ages are terriffic people....and are out there.

    It's probably more a function of one's maturity than age. I know women older than me who are way less mature that women 10 years younger than me.

    When someone is so hung up on age that they can't appreciate what someone has to offer in knowing them, they have a lot to learn.

    Yes. Some people never mature enough to where that's even possible, and I know plenty of prime examples. However, most people develop supreme social skills after a certain age.

    Yep. When I was growing up, I mostly had old men for friends, as they were a part of my dads buisness. I learned a lot from them, both what to do, and (most importantly) what NOT to do. Nowdays I have friends of all ages in all walks of life, and I love 'em all. I'm not trading with anyone. Thanks!

    I have. I've got a lot of friends of all ages and one of which I now call "Mummy Sue" because it's like a mother and daughter relationship.

    I love talking to my older friends because they have so much more interesting things to talk about.
