How big an age gap is acceptable in dating?

Presuming it is an older male with younger female.
I know the easy answer is it doesnt matter, but if you were 60 and your partner was 20, you’d get some funny looks from people. Or even abuse…
Just wondering…

My first thought was how awkward Hugh Hefner looks with his 20 and 30 year old girlfriends. =p

LOL
It’s really about a girl i met when travelling abroad. She’s a bit younger than me, very respectable- so no Hugh Hefner about it.
Really clicked with her, but she’s a bit younger… so i was wondering what people would think of us if i brought her over.

Well it depends. If one of you is a minor while the other is an adult it may not be right. If your both minors, or both adults, thats ok.
