As we get older we are not able to do things that we were once able to do 10/20 years ago. Why should we hold a s.o. back in life and not allow them the chance to grow? It's very selfish.

Again this is subjective and for your personal reasons it's fine but really comes down to what the couple wants and enjoys. There are many things a 20 something could enjoy that I sure as heck am not excluded from nor unable to partake in.
The only real factor here that I could say should be a big consideration is - the idea that one will leave this earth a lot earlier than a younger mate. That is something to think about.
But if you're looking for someone that can enjoy the same things as you, then look for that. Without assuming because someone older cannot do those things or even will stop being able to before you, simply find someone that fits your criteria. There are probably plenty of unhealthy 20 somethings that cannot do the same things as you, plenty of them that won't live nearly as long etc. Life, people and eveything just has too many factors to narrow your choice down to age. I mean don't choose based period.
That's how I look at it anyway.
