Fast forward 25 years when you're 50 and he's 65 and it's perhaps less appealing.

Thiss. It's all fun and games until he's old and sick, and you're still a spry, active 50-some year old who wants to go out while your partner is at home battling death. I saw it happen to my mom's relationship and they both became frustrated and distant with eachother. Their lifestyles just weren't compatible anymore. Getting with somebody your own age isn't just a social construct or based on vague things like emotional maturity, it's because you're going to be facing major stages of your life together. If you want to be with someone older, you need to be prepared for the fact that you might essentially become his caretaker and spend your final years as a widow, instead of mutually growing old.
