does it matter

There is evidence to suggest that age gap relationships are becoming more acceptable and normalized in many parts of the world. As society becomes more diverse and inclusive, people are becoming more accepting of different types of relationships, including those with a significant age gap.

In a 2020 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in the United States, 63% of respondents said that they believed it was acceptable for adults to date someone who was significantly older or younger than themselves. This represents a significant increase from a similar survey conducted in 2006, when only 42% of respondents said that they found age gap relationships acceptable.

Additionally, there are many high-profile examples of age gap relationships in the media and popular culture, which can help to normalize these types of relationships and reduce stigma. 

While there may still be some negative attitudes towards age gap relationships in certain communities or demographics, it seems that overall, these relationships are becoming more accepted and mainstream.
