I find all this age doesnt matter talk very cute in a cuddly sort of way. Fact is age does matter. It moght not matter enough to break up a relationship, but that depends on how much you are willing to take.
You are never in a relationship purely with one person. You take on his/her baggage, family and especially friends. If you are 40 years old and start a relationship with a 24 year old woman, you should be aware that when you're 50, she'll still be clubbing till 03h00 in the morning and leading a social life and have interests completely different to yours. Can you deal with that? Only you would know.
Same thing goes when going out with an older woman. Plus theres biological clocks and menopause and crap to deal with.
I would say that in your twenties, age wouldn't matter so much, because 20 somethings are still the most adaptable age group there is. But even if both of you are in your twenties but onthe opposite ends now, when you get older your interests may grow apart. Then its a matter of whether your love can take it.
