Is 2-3 years too much of a age difference for a relationship?

Anonymous
I’ve been talking to this girl for about a year now and we hit it off great. She’s beautiful, smart, and funny. I just recently introduced her to my friends and they all said how I should be with someone my age instead of a girl 2 years older since she will start to look older than me as we age and that sex is better with younger girls and yada yada. Idc about the sexual part, they say it’s that we won’t be able to connect on a long term level since she’s older than me. What do you all think? They want me to get with this other girl who has wanted me for a while and she’s the same age. She’s beautiful too although she works as a bottle girl and has stripped a bit in her past, has one baby from an ex but is a caring person. I’m 21 by the way. I need advice, my friends have me wondering long term thoughts.
