i prefer to have older friends because i feel like they understand me more than the others of my age ;)

When I was young, for example in my childhood, adolescence, and in my 20´s, my friends were mostly my age or at least only one or two years different.  Later the ages of my friends started to become more diverse.  Now in my 50´s most of my friends are several years, if not decades, different than me in age. 

I tend not to limit my friendship to any of age, but I prefer to choose friends younger than me because they are often more creative and can give me totally different views of the world even though these thoughts are not very practical or workable. 

different , cause I rarely make friends , before making friends I focus on some properties which is important for me.
