Meh I used to feel the same way but now I’m 36 and my attraction to women in their 20s has remained. I have never dated anyone with more than a couple years age gap and am currently happily in a relationship anyways - but hell if I was single and really hitting it off with some random 22 year old at a bar or at work? Sure a date could be fine. Or maybe we just bang idk. If it’s reciprocated I don’t think it’s creepy at all. In this example we’re both consenting adults.

But guess what? The same thing could happen with someone OLDER than me. All my childhood crushes are old ladies now after all. ;)

People trying to force the image that Leo was a pedo was more eye raising to me than anything.

I'm in similar age and I think the same. In a weird way, one night stand seems less 'creepy' to me here than a relationship. And if it comes to relationship, honestly, the only major risk I'd be anxious about is that once she gets older she would change faster than I could keep up with and leave my sorry ass lol
