I do not see that as being so clear. Not off the back of two anecdotes. It could merely be a coincidence. We know very little about the OP except for these two events. The OP clearly wrote however "Plus I never really had an interest in younger women." but off the back of two anecdotes you act like you know the OP better than he knows himself.

I have no opinion on it. I see no problem with it at all as a rule. Some relationships with an age difference work. Some do not. Simple as that.
The trick is to sit down and ask yourself what you actually want from a relationship. Write down these things if you find it help.
Then ask yourself if the person you are considering fits that list of requirements. If something about that person conflicts with your list - then that person is not the person for you.
In other words only you know what you want from a relationship and only you therefore know if age is one of those factors. If it is - then move on to the next girl. If it is not - then what is the problem?

Think little of it. "Go get help/therapy" makes up a significant % of that particular users "advice" around here. I sometimes theorise she has shares in the industry or something.
I do not see anything in your OP that suggests you need therapy or professional assistence of any kind.
I do however agree with the suggestions of doing some inner questing and understanding exactly what it is you want from a relationship and then only return the sexual and emotional interest of those women who fit that bill. The question here is no what OUR opinion of age difference is. The question is whether you do or do not see the age differenec being an issue to your goals for a relationship.
As for worrying about what other people think of your relationship - which you have indicated you do - that way madness lies because one can not please everyone everytime. No matter what relationship you end up in _someone somewhere_ is going to be unhappy with it. Thus is the nature of the beast.
If you simply want to know if anyone here has issue with relationships with a big age difference - some do, and quite emotionally so at times - but I certainly have never seen one good argument against them.
