Right-- with real people, you have to think about real issues, even if the age gap is only a few years. And depending on the ages of the people involved, it can feel like those are REALLY key years, culturally speaking! A person who's just a few years younger than you could have a completely different set of things that they grew up with, which makes it really easy to feel 'too old' and like the other person is still a 'kid'. I couldn't deal with being the older half of an age gap of just a couple years, because even though the other person would be very much an adult in every sense, they'd still feel so much younger because of all that. That doesn't mean I don't sometimes find someone aesthetically attractive only to find out that they're, like, five years younger than me or so, and then the 'ew nope' kicks in.

(for me, I always wind up getting creeped out when it's, like, supposedly-a-twenty-something love interest who looks twelve, and like in Rune Factory and the like, I always just have to pick the oldest-looking romance options, but just my familiarity with the art style and non-dating games with dating components, I feel like I think I understand what OP is saying? Unless I'm reading it wrong? But I mean, I can see how, depending on the art style, with the lack of detail, there's often not a real difference between younger and older characters-- either it's way-too-developed twelve year olds or it's thirty year olds who look twelve, but either way I mean... an animated teenager looks more like an animated adult than they do a live teen, so w/e)
