I can't blame a couple in their early 20's not being interested in couples that have more in common with their parents than them. Likewise while I know my share of unattractive 20 somethings, as a rule most people ARE better looking when they are in their early 20's than their early 40's, its natures way. Some things get better with age, but as a rule, looks are not one of those things.

So rather then go into knee jerk, how dare people think about looks in swinging, try to imagine if your first swing club experiance was with people hitting on you who have kids close to your age, and understand how it can be a major turn off.

Personally I think early 20's is too young to swing, and if a couple that young wanted to play with us, I'd want to be get to know them better than the 'average' couple due to all the potential issues.
