Yea it does, people grow up and mature from when they are 21-25 to mid 30's. They also are better able to figure out what they want in a person and a relationship as they get older.
My future wife was 21 when I met her and I was 38. We had plenty in common.
But she is third-generation old guy kind of girl. She's 18 years younger than me and her mother was 16 years younger than her father and her mother's mother was 18 years younger than her grandfather as well.
