Discriminatory in Valinor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Now, being me i have spent a lot of time wasting... time by reading quite a big chunk of the threads on this forum and i noticed that, from what i have read, no-one had mentioned or asked this question: Why weren't men allowed to go to Valinor?I am seriously curious about this and i thought it would be a good idea for my first thread. Why were only elves allowed to go to Valinor? Was it just the Valar favouring the First Born or was there a reason? If there was a reason it had better be a good one or else. If men were allowed to go over the sea, then the whole Aragorn-Arwen heartbreak thing would not have happened because they could have both gone over the sea. And then Elrond wouldn't get mad at Aragorn for 'stealing' his daughter. Also, Arwen would be happy because she could stay with her father AND Aragorn. Anyway, does anyone know the answer or at least have a guess.
