A matter of perspective 2

I have been travelling on the bus quite a lot in the last four months, and have noticed something quite interesting:  Young women don't sit beside me.

Mine is usually the last shared seat to fill.  My seat companion is most likely to be another older woman.  If not her, then a man, irrespective of his age.  Only when there are no other seats on the bus will a young woman share mine.

Why?

Is it because I look grumpy?  Is it because I remind her of her mother - Will I tell her to party less and study more?  Is she afraid that old age is contagious?

Hmmmm ....
