I don't even know if it's that old people are "gross." I mean, maybe for some. But speaking as the older half of a couple with a significant age gap, I think some of the discomfort lies in several things. One, there's a sort of "power" imbalance this can create. In my case, it isn't intentional, but I've seen 35+ year olds go after people in their early 20s FOR that reason, so I think it's fair to see red flags in big age gaps. And I think it relates to the second aspect, which is that a lot of the time, the younger party just does not have as much life experience. It isn't the numbers, per se, but it did give me pause to consider that my current boyfriend was learning to drive while I was already married and giving birth to my first kid.

Then of course there are the people with mommy/daddy issues who look for an older partner to look up to, etc. All that said, though, this is anecdotal evidence and doesn't mean everyone in a relationship with a big age gap should be treated as if they have some pathology. Maybe some of us have just found someone awesome and said "fuck it" to the age gap, after careful consideration, because the occasional burst of immaturity or whatever is completely overshadowed by the fact that the other person is supportive, caring and a real partner in the life you're trying to build.

THIS. So sick of the snide "oh, I'm not saying you all have daddy issues but based on anecdata you totally do" comments. See above and ad infinitum.
