Does a pedophile always like children, even when s/he is a child? Or are they sexually latent?
Will someone with reverse pedophilia (Teleiophilia) always like individuals older than them, even when they are 100 years old?
Suggestion:
I don't think so. Your ability to like any certain type of person changes according to your life experiences. One could start off liking people exactly their own age and gradually realize that they like the way older people treat them. If a person likes people much younger than they, the problem is when that's the only age group they allow themselves to get along with.
Some people like other people of all ages.
The only thing that is common to many people is that if the other person is exactly their age, they most likely can speak about many things without explaining them. For instance, it is popular now when someone mentions the name of an entertainer, for a person under 30 to say "Who is that?" This is a conversation killer, and it may be genuine or it may be purposely timed for this outcome; I haven't figured out which. But the person gives the impression that it would be hard to talk to them about anything. So the other person will talk to a person his or her own age next, to have a simpler conversation.
Also, ageism comes from people of all ages. People from their teens to their nineties have been known to ask others," Don't you know someone your own age you can talk to?" It depends on who you, personally, hear that from to shape who you will refrain from talking to.
Another form of ageism is the fact that people over 35 are called old. The geriatric set set will call them youngsters. And then this middle group will be criticized for banding together.
There are many experiences that can reshape your relationship to people with regard to age or anything else. But in the end, its up to you what you decide about who you want to relate to.
