[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 229428, member: 102"] I don't see it as a matter of right and wrong but having seen the women JR had been attracted to, she wasn't it. What is ageist? Is that having a type, such as a woman who goes for older men, or a man who goes for younger women? If a man likes a woman of a certain height, is he "heightist"? I'm commenting on my initial reaction to seeing Vanessa appear in the series during the initial run. That's how I saw it then and I my reaction hasn't changed because she still doesn't look like she'd have been his type. EDIT: I looked it up and it's to discriminate on the basis of age, but discriminating is a good thing: [SIZE=5][B]Definition of [I]discriminate[/I][/B][/SIZE] [URL='https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transitive']transitive verb[/URL] 1a: to mark or perceive the distinguishing or peculiar features ofDepth perception may be defined as the ability to appreciate or discriminate the third dimension …— H.
