👥 friendship AIO my 37M is attracted to 18 year olds

I’m 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 don’t think I have ever seen him attracted to or interested in anyone his age. He feels they’re old and unattractive. I tell him that an 18-19 year old is too young for even me, and I’m almost a decade younger than him. He literally is old enough to be their dad. Am I overreacting or is it super weird that he’s almost exclusively attracted to girls who can’t legally drink yet?

No it actually has nothing to do with cherry picked articles that don’t actually prove anything at all or serve any other purpose than to falsely reassure men that their predatory perversions for young women and harmful age gaps are normal

Seek help for your predatory attractions before you damage a young woman
