I'd say age matters only where maturity is concerned and what life's priorities are.
Personally I feel that even if the man is 10 yrs older, if the girl is in her late 20s onwards, it really doesn't matter that much because they would be in the same life stage - settling down, starting a family, stablising career etc
But if the girl is in early 20s and is dating a man 10 yrs older then probably they may have some conflicts in terms of interests esp priorities. While one is eager to see the world, party, have fun and is only caught up with the latet fashion, movies, celebrities, he may be in a stage where he is planning to marry, retirement, buying house etc.
Then again, I believe that love conquers all. If both of them are mature enough, then that age gap may be a good way to widen their horizons in life as they share their differing views on one subject matter!
