I know it's none of my business, but you have to put a line somewhere. You're dating someone that weren't' even born when you were 25.
Do you see these couples in a different light? Do you feel like there's something really wrong about this picture. Something makes me uneasy about them.

Do you honestly think that 2 consenting adults in a relationship together, is worse than an adult molesting/raping a child?
With a gap that large, though, the younger person would be ripe for mistreatment/manipulation due to the older person having more life experience. All depends on the couple, of course.
Exactly. Children don't get a choice.
Wow, so if I ended up with a woman in her 50's, 60's or whatever then it would be worse than abusing a child?
Get a bloody grip.
Anyway, to answer your question correctly. Different people have different outlooks and as long as they are happy then that's all that matters. If you would deprive two adults of a loving relationship because you feel the age difference isn't right then I'm afraid that says a lot more about you than it ever would about them.
I know a few people who have large age gaps and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. They aren't as big as your examples though.
I personally don't think I could but then I am at an age where older people seem really old and younger people seem really young - actually a large age gap like what you've described lower would be impossible for me (not to mention sick); so I'm thinking more along the lines of 10 years (which I think is pretty big)
Having an age gap is worse than pedophilia? Really? What a ridiculous statement
I don't feel like there's anything wrong with it, as long as both are of legal age.
I'm sorry but... while I agree that a 70 year old and a 20 something making out is a bit "out there" it does not belong in the same sentence as child abuse, it is dilluting an utterly horrific and damaging perversion.
I don't buy into the idea that a twenty-something wouldn't have anything in common with someone in their fourties, fifties or even older. I'm 24, and a fair number of my colleagues at work are in their fourties and fifties. I get on with them probably better than I do the few colleagues who are closer in age to me.
I know there's not illegal about, however i still find it extremely creepy.
Neither could I, but the OP is based more on judging other people for their decisions. What works for one may not work for others and I personally think it's wrong to project your own standards onto other people like that.
Trololololol
When you're out and about, I'm sure most or almost everyone would take notice of that.
That's about the size of it. Indeed, it's nobody's business but theirs.
A massive age difference is odd, but there you go.
There is a guy of 60 at work who is with a woman of 35. They seem really happy together. That said, he does look exceptionally young for his age.
How many times in your life have you seen that?
Unless you're a butler in the Playboy Mansion, I'd guess the answer is actually "never".
Your eyes are fine. It's been edited.
