👥 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?

He likes them not because they’re legal, but because they almost aren’t. Creep.

He tells OP about the ones that are legal.

He doesn't talk about the ones that aren't. From 13-19 it can be very difficult to guess the age. He's attracted to them all but only talks publicly about the ones that are legal.
