Because the younger person will always feel as though they are holding the other one back. I think that's the biggest issue, especially for people in their 20's, because that age is for people to explore the world or other places, get an education, get their foot in the door career-wise, etc etc etc. Once you're past 30, a lot of that doesn't happen anymore. People are mostly thinking about career advancement, settling down, possibly having children, all that. I think if I was 33 instead of 23, I wouldn't care as much about a larger age gap providing that the other person is not significantly younger or older than myself - and by that I mean like 10 years either way (for example).
