It can be very bizarre. I remember having a conversation about who is seen as hot on Heroes, and someone said (not entirely in correlation) that Hayden was very hot and that Adrian Pasdar would be too old, and I was like: "Uhm, no, he is not, and she's basically a fetus!" There is certainly a difference in perspective. (Although I know a girl who is seventeen and has the biggest crush on CE. It's very cute.)
