Why should someone have 'first-dibs' over someone else just because they're the exact same age? Being the same age as someone doesn't automatically make you the perfect match for them.
You can't just say that they shouldn’t go out with them simply because of their age alone. I've only just turned 20 this January and I'm friends with (but not dating) a girl who is nearly 17 and is the same height as me. If we were dating and I was one year older apparently I'd be annoying or even immoral.
I know a girl (over the internet) who is 20 and is married with someone who's about 34; now that's a difference.
If they are only doing it for the car, money etc, then that'll be annoying as it seems awfully hollow and gold-digging, but otherwise why should the girl not go out with the guy she loves just because he's older? The only disadvantage I see is that when he finally dies she'll be a widow for a long time unless she remarries.

Girls always use the same excuses when they date someone about the age of their uncle or even their father:
I hope I'm not just being pretentious here, but what do you mean "even their father"? Do you mean that it's worse because she is more used to seeing her father than her uncle, and thus reminds her more of incest? As the age of a father and an uncle is random, they could even be twins.
