Experience equals experience.
Think of it this way, someone who has been in the military 20 years but never been in combat can be said to have less combat experience than someone who has only been in the military 1 year and seen 6 months of combat.
Experience is, generally speaking, learning by doing. So far as that is concerned I would weigh more heavily how long someone has been doing something than how old they are.
However, and this relates to your question as well, there is also much to be said for general life experience. Someone 40 years old has more general life experience than you do. This also often enters into people's estimations.
yeah, what My buddy Padriag said....
I've seen guys in their 40's with no clue as handle a female... just as I've seen 20 yr olds that were on top of their game.
