There is a point where you have reached full maturity and age gaps become irrelevant. So a 30 year old dating a 60 year old is not the same as a 20 year old dating a 50 year old despite the same age gap.

I completely agree. To add to that, I think around 25 or so, the human brain finishes developing; and I'm aware that as someone a little younger than that, there are bound to be some ways in which, literally speaking, I am not fully mature. That's not something for me to feel bad over, but I think it's a way different thing for me to contemplate dating someone 30 years older than me now, as I am finally starting to stabilize myself financially and also with respect to my personality/sense of self, and when I am say 30, and have had some years of practice by that point.
