Anyone Else struggle to find accepting friends?

The older people in our lives are happy and accepting.. Anyways I wish I could find some friends my age that would just be accepting and not so judge mental of our age difference we love each other so much and we are a great team together. Anyone else struggle with finding / keeping friends there age? I’m constantly getting accused of being a gold digger even though I work at a very lucrative job and contribute almost as much as him to everything, he is always getting accused of only wanting me for arm candy. It’s so frustrating I’ve gotten to the point I don’t even bother trying anymore. This is the only real problem I’ve found with this gap. I could care less if you accept us, but dating an older or younger person does not automatically make you a bad person!!
