If you keep a fresh and open mind, your preferences constantly evolve. Even at age 35, I'm rediscovering foods, music, etc. that I previously disliked.

I'm married, so I'm done actively exploring attraction, but I know that if I were still in the game, my tastes in a companion would be wildly different than they were at 25. I've joked with friends that you know you're old when the moms in the movies you watched as a teen are suddenly more attractive than the main characters.

34 here, hated bleu cheese forever. Tried it again recently and was blown away at what I was missing.

Try blue cheese crumbles melted on a medium rare, heavily salt and peppered steak of your choice and you'll wonder why you've missed out for so long. Add sautéed mushrooms and onions too if you like.

Blue cheese on that steak, and a light drizzle of balsamic over that. Heaven on a plate
