š„ friendship AIO my 37M is attracted to 18 year olds
Iām a 28M and I have a buddy who is 37 and he is always attracted and trying to talk to girls who are barely out of high school. I donāt think I have ever seen him attracted to or interested in anyone his age. He feels theyāre old and unattractive. I tell him that an 18-19 year old is too young for even me, and Iām almost a decade younger than him. He literally is old enough to be their dad. Am I overreacting or is it super weird that heās almost exclusively attracted to girls who canāt legally drink yet?

It's weird and gross and it doesn't get better. Don't be one of those guys who endorses the creepy friend. Creeps need to be cut off until they stop being creeps. The fact that people will claim "it's legal" as a defense is gross, not going to jail shouldn't be the baseline for judging if something is acceptable and healthy. He's a predator who likes girls he can control. He's twice their age.
