“It depends… There is this picture we try to give women who are like that. If the person thinks the criteria for who I am looking for, I am not all about looks, by the way. But at least it shouldn’t be like I am with my mother.
“I don’t really mind if there is a connection. Age isn’t just a number… It is more about the connection. Once there is a strong connection, I don’t think every other thing matters,” he said.
