The key part is "in their 20s." It's much more common for women to date someone older than them than vice versa.

Not just more common, it's somewhat taboo the other way around.

One of my brothers in his mid 20s briefly dated some girl a bit older than him, maybe late 20s/early 30s.

When my parents found out, he got chastised for it (in a somewhat playful way albeit). They did not necessarily like this, the kicker is they have an 11 year age gap themselves, but it's my father who's older.
