Feeling a need to point out that you are not conforming to a social norm does not show indifference to that norm, it shows that you are assuming that everyone you are talking to has bought into the norm and you want to be sure that they know you have not - which gives more significance to the norm, not less.
this coming from someone who honestly misses social norms and sometimes says things that offend people because of it. For example, i have had to learn that it is not ok to identify students to other teachers as "short black hair, semi curly, brown skin, about this tall" even though it is ok to identify students as "red hair about this long, pale skin and freckles." I also don't go around telling people I don't care what color hair my students have. Oh wait, I mean skin. If you can't understand the difference in those two statements, you are unlikely to understand my original response about the way you keep telling us how you like older women.
