It is individual and it depends. My early relationships were mostly age gap relationships. As I got older the gap narrowed. Others do it differently. There is no pattern, no rhyme, no reason. No one reason that is.
It depends on the people involved. Late hubby was 7.5 years older. My (male) best friend is 6 years younger.
For me, it isn't so much about age as it is about life stages. I'm downsizing my possessions and looking at and trying to work toward early retirement. Someone who is 25, just starting out in his career and finally has a bit of financial freedom to buy "stuff" is not likely to be in the same mindset as me. Similarly, neither is someone who is already retired and spends all his free time hanging out with the grandkids.
It depends on how old you are. 18 vs 27 is bad, 25 vs 34 is somewhat bad, 30 vs 39, still bad, 80 vs 89, not a lot of difference there.
I don't know... I kind of agree with this:

To convince me otherwise you would need to define "bad". The age gaps you are using as illustrations are laughably small. If you think 25 vs 34 is 'bad', I don't know what you would say about 24 vs 38 which was my first. And some celebrity age gap relationships are in multiple decades of gap. If duration is any indication they have at least the same snowballs chance as any other kind of celebrity pairing.
