(We have so much in common and connect in so many different levels.) It's about... 4 years and I know it matters less and less as you grow old, but I'm curious. To the guys, is that too young in a woman you would like to be with? To women, is that too young to be with an older man?

 I'm in the same position as you... I like a younger gal, and we connect on so many levels.
But I don't think that its too much of an age gap. If you two are right for each other and you're noticing it now.... you are way ahead of the game.
I say do what you think is right and let other people judge you as they may... as long as it feels right and wonderful to you then do it.
No one but you can make the decision.. we can just guide you to what we think is right....
All the best : )

dude im 17 (will be 18 tomorrow) and i am married to a 33 year old man. the age difference is nothing. just make sure the maturity levels are somewhat the same.

 No way, I'm 18 and my girlfriend is 24.
If anything, I think you'd be making a smarter move dating a guy who isn't 17, the maturity level would be noticable for sure.

 No, I don't think that is a very big age gap. You're both young so just have fun, make the most of the relationship you have and try not to let the age gap bother you. Who knows? You may miss out on something great, and you won't know until you give it a fair try. I say go for it!

Be careful with the age of consent issue though.
I know America is strict on these things.

 I don't think 17 and 21 is too big an age gap really. Most girls are a little ahead in maturity anyways. It comes down to what you and he feels. Maybe also what your parents think.

 I don't think so. I made a child with someone 10 years older than me when I was 20, turns out, I ended up being the more mature one:) 4 years is not so bad once you have reached the 17 to 18 year old mark. Ask your love intrest. His opinion will mattermore than mine;)
