Well, as far as I'm concerned, you'll get treated just the same,
Well you should. But you won't necessarily. A friend of mine, very intelligent and game for anything, but in her 70s, was keen to start a PPL and booked herself a trial lesson. She was patronised, not taken seriously, and treated like a little old lady who naturally wouldn't want to take it any further. It shouldn't happen...but it does.
