You also have to realize your peers, the people you spend the most time with, the ones you call your friends and more, are only a few years apart. The same could also be said about college, give or take. Once you're out of school and into a career, you're then put into an environment where your peers could be your age, all the way up to retirement age ... and you're actively hanging out with all these people and talking to them as peers and not just 'grown ups.'

And it changes things. That's not to say you'll be dating an octogenarian, but an age gap of 10-15 years, even more, is not that hard to grasp anymore.

ETA: What is weird is when you hit your mid-30s, you're enjoying being single and child free while your friends from high school are sending their kids off to college ... And you then realize most of your gaming buddies are young enough to be your kids. Not that I would know what that was like or anything ... Word
