I'd sit my 60 year old friend down and have a nice long talk.

I think they shouldn't care what you think and do what makes them happy. People shouldn't choose partners based on what society thinks.
It may be disgusting, but, as I understand it, among the 60+ set, people with moderately to very high net worth are starting to become attractive to greater numbers of upwardly mobile 20 something women. The 60 year old of today is quite healthy and many are quite fit. They made their money in a different era with nearly unlimited opportunity. Those days are over. A Millenial 20 something has greatly reduced means with which to attract age appropriate women. A Bloomberg report concluded that by 2040 a significant percent of all relationships would have large age gaps. These will almost entirely be with the male the older. In my 20's I found older women very desirable, I dated a couple of women in their late 30's. Most turned me down. As they age though, women lose their taste for younger men almost entirely, probably due to external rather than internal pressures. By 60 very few women have any interest in men more than 5 years younger. The exceptions wouldn't even fill the Visitors section of a Class AA Baseball stadium.
My mom is in her mid-50's & can easily pass looking like she's 35-40. Sorry guys, she's married to my dad. Some people are blessed with wonderful genes that makes them age gracefully.
What people do of legal consent adult age is none of our business
I'm 60. My oldest son is 38 years old. Marrying a 20 something year old man? No interest. There is more than looks involved here for both. I would not be comfortable or drawn to someone as the generation gap for one thing would be huge. He wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about most of the time. I guess if I missed having a child at home with me, which I definitely wouldn't, this could be amusing. Perhaps the 20 something always missed have a mom or grandma that would care for him like this older woman could. I had a cousin who lost her father when she was younger and was happy with a man old enough to be her father.
I would be bored very quickly with a 20 something.
