Yep. The Heortlings see many behaviours as age-dependent. it's okay to be a mass of raging hormones when you're young. But you need to grow up and settle down at some point. Marry, raise a family, be a contributing member of saociety. That is what the "Orlanthi All" Heortlings do. If you are a member of the minority that don't do that, then they look at you as someone that's not "right". If you maintain your youthful raging hormonal period past 20 or so, then you're still acting like a kid. If you don't marry in your early 20's, then "there's something wrong with him".

And, of course, most Player Heroes fall into that wierdo 1/7th of people, and should be given the hairy eyeball by the "normal" Heortlings around them. Not to the extant of "Blacks in the Deep South ca 1950", more like "Bought a red sports car at age 50 and divorced his wife".
