Social Norm,
Agree 100% with what you say. For short term relationships, age difference is irrelevent.
I was sitting in the Ship-Wreck Bar on Soi Bangla one evening, just watching the action, when I got chatting with a couple of Aussie ladies. They expressed mild disgust at seeing middle-aged fellas with young Thai hotties in tow.
So, I asked them why it was nobody found it disgusting that people like Rupert Murdoch, Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, Michael Douglas and countless others of the "Rich and Famous" could have young wives or, lovers with 20 to 30 year age differences, yet when your average man did it, they found it distasteful.
To give the two ladies their due, they did admit the hypocracy, but still couldn't explain why there is one rule for the celebreties and another for the average Joes.
