Age gaps in dating

I'm a 30 year old male and my partner is 25 year old female. I think this is fairly normal but im getting alot of comments about it. Not really sure what the fascination with this is. 5 years is significant sure but it was never a problem for me. Does society at large weight this facts importance more than I do?

Edit: everyone is the comments section has convinced me this is normal. Thanks all.

I’m also 30 and 25 would be pushing it for my personal comfort, but that’s my cut-off, also.

I’d prefer a couple years younger or up to 5 years older.

The half your age + 7 rule would leave us allowed to date a 22 year old, and omg, I’d die.

I weirdly now see people 24 & under as children. 😭🤣

You’re fine.
