What do you think of age gap relationships?

I mean I say it depends if I find it acceptable depending on the ages and life stages of the two people. How many years are too many? The psychological age when someone really becomes an adult is about 25 and when they stop physically growing. What do you think?

I think your mid to late 20's is when it becomes reasonable for age gaps. Anything before that feels icky. I don't instantly assume the worst because people with age gaps can definitely work however power dynamics are still very much present, especially from 18 to half of your 20's.
My first really good longterm relationship, when I was in my early twenties, was with a woman twenty years older. We have stayed in touch somewhat as friends. I am glad I didn't marry her, because it would be challenging at my age to be with someone in her eighties, but I have only fond and sexy memories of our years together.
The older I get the more I feel other people 's relationships are not my business.

That being said my mom was 19 when she married my dad who is 11 years older.

That being said until probably the 90s older men were the norm.
I’ve been in two serious relationships. The first i was younger by nearly ten years and then second I was older by about the same. Neither worked out, but I do ‘t have sufficient data to tell if it’s related to the age gaps.

the ideal marriage is four years apart, can you count ten years of your life now can you add those 10 years to a spouse. Not only that women end up as widow or better yet a geriatric nurse. But I guess trading smooth skin for wrinkly over money is most women cup of tea. Hella naw I want to to age with my wife and be having sex at old age looking at young as possible. I like a woman that wages well like fine wine. [i]According to jews on marriage[/i] A large age gap between spouses, in either direction, is advised against as unwise.[77] A younger woman marrying a significantly older man however is especially problematic: marrying one's young daughter to an old man was declared as reprehensible as forcing her into prostitution.[78] Moreover, it is problematic for an older man to be unmarried in the first place. Marriage is held to be uniquely mandatory for men, and an unmarried man over the age of twenty is considered "cursed by God Himself.

Using the age gap calculations,
Take your age,
Divide by 2,
Add 7.
Example:
A guy 70 divide by 2 = 35. Add 7 to 35 = 42.
So the youngest woman I should date is 42.

It's not something I would have ever been interested in pursuing, I prefer to date people within 5 years or so of my age.
I compare high school senior age. If he/she was a senior what age was the other one. If it’s creepy then then it’s also creepy as adults.

It all depends on the on people and what they want out of that relationship (material or immaterial transactional nature), as there always is an end goal/objective /motive behind it, whatever that may be...sugar daddy, sugar mama, gold or silver diggers...power grab...LUST/SEX, short term or long term etc.
I'm still physically growing.

It is only a problem if you let it become one
