You made a good point that age already makes a difference, and when you throw in maryadik relation in that, I think it is a receipe for discomfort. And the beleif that you should follow your elders suggestions/orders makes it even worse. And I think for the very reason, I tend to avoid older people. I feel like I already have enough rules to follow, and I dont want to add more rules when I am talking to a stranger. And, we cannot put a blind eye on a possibility that some people might be taking advantage of this belief system. I agree that it is subjective to a person. It is only my view.
