Automatic filtering on age

Let's say that you had a mask you could put on when you went out. Let's say you had different masks to choose between. You would then be able to see how people would behave differently depending on your looks.

I now feel I have that possibility to make a certain change in my looks, and the difference I see in people's behavior is amazing! When people believe I'm in the same age and having the same style they talk to me, but if I perceived as not in their age, they're not even interested to exchange a few words in a queue. Are we really that obsessed with age in this country, or is it maybe the same everywhere?

This experience is definitely a proof that it's not me who has changed, but the way I'm treated depending on my looks when growing older.

I do expect that when I'm even older, I will be able to walk anywhere and no anything wearing anything I like and most people will not even see me. Invisibility gives a certain freedom!
Good to know...
