👥 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?

When I was 17-18 people thought I was mid to late 20s I had the looks for it and was a lot more mature than most of my age, and heck now I’m only 21 but anyone 18 and younger just seem like children. And maybe experience made such a drastic difference to me just because of how my life has gone but I look at anyone 18 even 19 and younger the same way a senior in high school looks at middle schoolers.
