You say "arnbitrary", I say "somewhere hard-wired in your own individual biology". ...I don't know why you have to reduce it all to free will, or why everything needs to be or happen from free conscious will. What are you afraid of? Afraid of that there might be something out of your control and that drives you, not the other way round?
About the age thing, I'd have something to add - but that would be from an idealistic point of view, I'll just state that from the beginning

A friend that I only run into occasionally was at a potluck with us the other night. He had a hat on that said "Old men need love too" or something like that. He and other older men I know are starved for human touch, and I try to be generous with my hugs for them, and they tell me it's appreciated. As I see people around me aging, and some of them becoming lonely, I fear that occurring in my own life. Gotta be proactive with the social life.
My partner is 19 years older than me. I feel we are socially accepted as a couple, but I do find myself reflecting often on the age gap. I'm sure other people have their silent judgements, or perhaps there is gossip we don't hear. I like hanging out with older people.
