Old age and seniority alone do net command authority among the
British: in fact modem life bas been developing so fast that old people often
appear tiresome and out of date. Thus, "We need some young blood" is often heard
in the organizations where the energy and modern methods of younger men are felt
to be more likely to succeed than the long but partly irrelevant experience of
older ones. The wisest of the older generation realize this. They either make an
effort to remain young in heart and keep pace with the time, or else they let
younger men take their place. It follows that mature British
have no desire to grow old or to look older than they are. Women especially, for
reasons of sexual attraction, long to "stay young", and there is no greater
compliment to a mature woman than to be told "How young you look!" On the other
hand, if a woman’s hairstyle, make-up and clothes reveal an obvious effort to
look artificially young, she is said to "look common", and is regarded with
disapproval.
