Why is it people make a big deal over a girl being older than the guy?

I was dating this guy and I was three years older then him. He's taller then me and actually lives 2,071 miles away. We lasted 7 months but got so tired of all the hate we broke up. 
I don't get why people make a big deal over a girl being older but it's fine if the guys older.
