I’ve hoped this fence a few times. Have shared love (and sex) with older and younger woman. Our partners are going to be a different age. (mathematical, odds are you’re not going to have a meaningful relationship with somebody born on the same day. That sure would narrow the field if that’s all you’d consider) And age difference is a handy hook to hang failed relationships on.
We also need the “exception” so we can slide in when we do something stupid if it happen to worth out (at least for a decade or two), but the best “guideline” I have found is suppose to be an old Arabic rule. For a relationship with some common ground, the man should never be with a woman that is younger than ½ his age plus 7 years. Surprisingly it does seem to work across the board. And I suppose it will work with younger guys as well.

Now I want to use the “EXCEPTION” and talk with ALL the Pixie ladies that are under 36. Hell! Everything here in Pixieville is an exception in this screwed up world. (And I love it!)
