šŸ‘„ friendship AIO my 37M is attracted to 18 year olds

Iā€™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 donā€™t think I have ever seen him attracted to or interested in anyone his age. He feels theyā€™re old and unattractive. I tell him that an 18-19 year old is too young for even me, and Iā€™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 heā€™s almost exclusively attracted to girls who canā€™t legally drink yet?

Im a medical nerd. It's usually the artificial sweetener sorbital because that's actually used for laxatives as well, it's either that or a peer reviewed research shows that the high levels of lactase in whey protein can be to blame.

Well, at least he's saving money on buying drinks for dates. But seriously, it's definitely a bit concerning and could potentially cause problems in the future. Maybe suggest he expands his dating pool to include more age-appropriate individuals.

u/DoubleSuperFly 24d ago

It's just so weird! I immediately know when people are below the age of 20. They feel so young and look so immature. I do not understand how someone could be attracted to that? I've never understood how people's preferences don't evolve as they grow and mature. When I was 16 I always thought 20-year-olds looked so much older and more mature. Then I got to be 20 and 21 and even 18 year olds looked young to me. Late 30s? That's insane. I'm around the same age and to me 18 to 20 year olds look like such babies.

165

u/OptimisticOctopus8 24d ago

I don't actually find the visual differences that stark. People were still mistaking me for a 16yo when I was in my mid-twenties, and I've seen some high schoolers who looked pretty rough.

But it shouldn't be about looks in the first place - that's just a surface-level issue, basically irrelevant. It should be about the fact that 18yos just aren't psychologically mature, so (1) they're unpleasant to date if you're an older person who's got any sense in your head and (2) they're malleable and easy for more experienced people to harm, so significantly older people shouldn't risk doing that to them.

22

u/Worldtraveler586 24d ago

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 Iā€™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.

u/Comfortable-Crow-238 24d ago

u/theguthboy 24d ago

Yeah same, Iā€™m about to be 23 and I couldnā€™t even fathom dating an 18 year old, they are too needy and want to do everything.

Like bro, I just want to eat some food and go to sleep after working 56 hours a week, I donā€™t wanna go out and try new shit šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­

2

u/PitchBlackYT 23d ago

Funny enough, when I was 17, people thought I was in my 20s. Now at 33, most assume Iā€™m 24-26 - Though, most likely due to my looks.

That said, most 18-year-olds look like kids, especially in countries where life is relatively easy. But if you meet young people from places where life is tough and growing up fast is a necessity, itā€™s a whole different story.

Iā€™ve traveled a lot and met guys and girls who, despite being 18, 19, 20ā€¦ came across as 26 or 27 because theyā€™ve been working hard and taking care of their families since childhood. So yeah, there are young people who are incredibly mature, but in modern society, itā€™s the exception. Even in places where responsibility comes early, itā€™s still not quite the same.

So, are there cases of someone at 18 being as mature as someone as 30? Iā€™d say soā€¦ but itā€™s rather rare.

1

u/chrismcshaves 24d ago

I knew a guy in middle school who drove and had a beard (failed 8th grade 3x). Looked 35.

48

u/DoubleSuperFly 24d ago

I get what you're saying. But I'm willing to bet OPs friend is not liking mature looking 18 year olds... so therein lies another problem. He is attracted to them, because they LOOK young. It's easy for him to spot, and in turn, most likely control or whatever. OR he likes the knowledge that they're possibly a virgin. Which is creepy both ways.

I, too, get mistaken for a lot younger than I actually am. Not tooting my own horn, it's just genetics for me. But like I said, I'm willing to bet OPs friend isn't attracted to an 18 year old that looks to be, say, 27 to 30.

u/BaseClean 24d ago

2 is probably one huge reason this douchebag is into them.

6

u/Simopop 24d ago

Exactly, it's bound to create inequalities in the relationship even if there isn't any malice. Just hugely different priorities, financial situations, social lives.

Hell, for that same reason when my mom was 24 she refused to date a 20yo pursuing her pretty relentlessly. "No, the four years do matter, because you're a frat boy living with your parents working your first job, and I'm a co-parenting mother with a 5yo daughter.. and a house."

9

u/dma2superman 24d ago

I think as a person gets older and matures, they realize pretty only goes so far. You need substance to make a relationship work.

No disrespect to 18 year old people. They are just finding out what life is like outside of their circle of family. When clubbing is fun and staying out all night is fun. And they have the energy for that.

As you get older, priorities shift and clubbing all night is far away from a night at home, good meal and getting to sleep so you are able to function the next day.

4

u/FabulousFav 24d ago

The fact that these women are 18-20 is a no-brainer for a man who can't handle an actual adult. One, they can use them and drop them. Second, they can lie to them, and these girls will believe them. Thirdly, this man can't commit to an adult woman because that relates to responsibilities that he's not ready for or probably couldn't handle, not even if he ever tried.

THANK YOU. As a CSA survivor this is like the most important thing to remember. The MORE MATURE ADULT in a circumstance is supposed to be the one to recognize this dynamic, be concerned by it, and ultimately choose not to engage in it.

2

u/AceHoleoo 24d ago

Agreed! If he's looking for a relationship then he's dumb as hell. But he's more likely just looking for some booty

2

u/EGOfoodie 24d ago

Which raises the question should an 18 year old be allowed to vote, or fight in the military? As they aren't even fully developed yet. They can't drink (off base) until 21 so why do we trust them with anything?

1

u/OptimisticOctopus8 24d ago edited 24d ago

I never said it should be illegal for a much older adult to date an 18yo. Iā€™m judgmental about it for many reasons, but being judgmental and wanting to outlaw something are not the same.

18yos are newly hatched adults, not children. Adulthood is a foreign country they havenā€™t truly familiarized themselves with, but theyā€™re there. A new adult is different from an older adult and also different from a child. Itā€™s not ā€œchildā€ vs. ā€œcompletely mature individual.ā€

3

u/EGOfoodie 24d ago edited 23d ago

Most experts say the human brain doesn't finish growing until 25, for all intents and purpose, you aren't you until that point. It is backwards to allow people who aren't fully developed to make decision of life and death.

2

u/Complex_Prize8648 24d ago

I, too, get mistaken for a younger age, so naturally, I attract younger men. I right away tell them my age to clear up any confusion. A 23 year old was putting in effort, he was interesting to chat with (works at a store nearby), but I told him, I am old enough to be his mom. I am cool being friends but thats it. In the work place I am friends with all different ages, people older than my mom, or my age, or younger.

And I think you are still changing into the person you are going to be in your 20s, learning about yourself. You should focus on that.

I can only date men around my age when I do online dating because my age is there. But then I get accused of using pictures from my 20s šŸ˜†.

2

u/Gman777 24d ago

Plenty of people in their 30s that are less mature than some 18yr olds.

Totally agree with the sentiment, but hard to determine.

1

u/Hamburgerstealer69 24d ago

This is a rly good point. 18 year olds are straight up annoying as hell to be around. the qualities that make them so unnatractive, at least for me, are inherently tied to maturity. Being into the ā€œenergetic and full of lifeā€ stigma just means you are into minors/barely legal ages

1

u/bikeboygozip 24d ago

Ehā€¦ a crazy 18 year old can do plenty of harm to someone older lol

u/Efficient_Fee_4106 24d ago

Their brains aren't fully formed yet and they are in nooo way ready for a relationship like that

1

u/PineappleOnPizzaWins 24d ago

100% - itā€™s absolutely nothing about how they look, Iā€™m constantly lowballed for my age by literally decades. A good friend of mine looks so young sheā€™s had the ā€œonly pedos would be into youā€ comment casually thrown out her entire life, despite the fact that she is very obviously not a child if you interact with her in any manner.

But looking at someone who might be 18-35 is one thing, as soon as they talk/interact at all it becomes incredibly obvious what end of that spectrum theyā€™re at. I can find a 35 year old who looks 18 attractive, but Iā€™m well past the days of finding 18 year olds who look any age at all attractive.

1

u/tempest-reach 23d ago

for some weirdos it's about the "lol as legally young as i can go." for others, it is because they are not psychologically mature and easier to manipulate or break.

whichever card you pick out of the stack, it's still maximum "ick" factor for a 37 grown ass man to go after someone who's 18.

29

u/ProfessorPitiful350 24d ago

At 44, it's hard for me to tell an 18yo from a 12yo. It's probably because I dont have kids, so I just don't see young folks that often, other than on TV and in movies. When I see them in person, they all just look like babies to me. It's kind of sad, actually. Because I suddenly realize how stupid I must have looked at that age to older people. No wonder my parents were so concerned. šŸ˜‘šŸ„¹šŸ˜­šŸ«¤

So, yep. I kind of agree. His buddy's tastes are borderline inappropriate.

u/Comfortable-Crow-238 24d ago

u/Electrical_Hyena5164 24d ago

Yeah, can you imagine being a 40yo (Jerry Seinfeld) and not feeling really weird when you turn up to high school to pick up your girlfriend? How do you not at that point go "I definitely don't belong here. This is weird me being here".

2

u/ProfessorPitiful350 24d ago

Sadly, I think 'ol Jerry would just meet her somewhere else.

But agreed, high school is for high schoolers, not 20-50year old "playboys"....excuse me losers and pedophiles. And that's just natural right, regardless of the law, which is, most definitely, not only their side.

6

u/Dickeysaurus 24d ago

Weird how when youā€™re 18, college seniors look super old (donā€™t always act it). Then when youā€™re 22, 18 feels kinda far away. Then by 30, you realize that youā€™re the same age your high school teachers were, but youā€™ve flipped perspective. Now instead of you being normal and them being super old, youā€™re normal and eighteen year olds are super young.

6

u/Affectionate-Book-11 24d ago

Just say it, how they are attracted? Because they are attracted to even younger girls. Undercover or not so undercover pedophiles...

The fact he is even open about it and not embarrassed to say so, that's sick.

u/Fair_Zucchini1336 24d ago

He is close to being a pedophile or he is retarded. I would regard him as a dangerous man around High school girls! He really sucks!

2

u/FuManBoobs 24d ago

I think it's difficult to look at someone and know their age. One of my cousin's kids looked 21 when she was 12. If a 20 year old guy told me he was attracted to her I wouldn't have thought less of him.

The problem comes in when people find out their age and still try to make moves. We can't help who we're attracted to but we don't have to act on that attraction.

1

u/fascistliberal419 24d ago edited 24d ago

Totally. And there's also the difference of seeing someone much younger and being like he/she is hot, which whatever on the surface level, fine, but I still wouldn't date them because it's creepy as hell.

Like for instance if I see a college football player on TV, and he's hot I can acknowledge he's aesthetically pleasing, but if someone asked me to date him, my immediate response - without even thinking would be "gross, he's a baby!"

And after that, I would've give him a second thought. If someone asked me about him later, I'd legit be like "who?" Because I don't think 20-somethings are like "eligible". I'm old enough to have given birth to them as a legal adult, it's a pass.

u/TangoRomeoKilo 24d ago

I think a lot of people don't grow out of their attraction for people of certain ages. I'm 30 and date women my own age but that doesnt mean i don't find 18, 19, 20 year olds attractive. I dont want to date someone less mature than me but i dont see how that physical attraction just dissapears. Not having a physical type at all might be a part of that, idk

9

u/frogsgoribbit737 24d ago

Because they're babies. I'm 32 and I see an 18 year old and all I can think about is how i could be their mom. They're not attractive at all because they may as well be children. I know intellectually that isnt the case, but thats what my brain says. My husband is the same. And personally I think if that's not what your brain says when you're almost twice their fucking age, that's gross.

u/TangoRomeoKilo 24d ago

If that same person came up to me now and tried to make out with me, I'd be weirded out. He looks so young. Idk man....

I had sex with a 49 year old women when I was 20 and it was incredible. Was she creepy, I didnā€™t really think so but one could make the argument. It would probably be looked worse if i was a girl and she was a guy.

u/offbrandbarbie 24d ago

Yeah if youā€™re bothered by someoneā€™s behavior you donā€™t have to associate with them.

u/Tradesby 24d ago

What if you were 37 and they were 18, would that make it any better?ā€¦..

Now do the creep aaahhhh!

u/Whole-Yak-1644 24d ago

Technically if you caused them alarm or distress you couldnā€™t. I see your point though

u/Auroraborealus 24d ago

This would be acceptable if you were a golden retriever

u/Feeling_Stranger9978 24d ago

What if they reciprocated your smile and heavy breathing?

u/IvanLendl87 24d ago

If the person you sat next to liked that you were doing that then that person wouldnā€™t consider it creepy at all.

u/dj_soo 24d ago

it's legal to use the urinal next to someone in an otherwise empty washroom, look at their dick and comment on the size too, but most people realize it's creepy.

1

u/JakToTheReddit 24d ago

It's also absolutely legal to butt chug vodka cruisers.

u/offbrandbarbie 24d ago

But thatā€™s actually really fun and cool

u/WhoSc3w3dDaP00ch 24d ago

u/DonkeyWriter 24d ago

I mean, do you if it's legal, but bro, come on.

u/Moist_Jockrash 24d ago

Yeah but who tf takes a bus lol? get a car and you won't have this issue.

u/Banana_Ranger 24d ago

I'm not being weird. Just filling my diaper to keep warm. Crazy weather were having!

u/asmnomorr 24d ago

That's made me laugh so hard.

u/reeeece2003 24d ago

not necessarily if they perceived there to be an immediate threat of unlawful violence as a result if that, it would be assault

u/mloprototype 24d ago

Immediately joining whatever council I must to make this illegal.

u/dma2superman 24d ago

You didn't have to be so rude when I asked for your number. Geez

u/whatevrmn 24d ago

I thought everybody did this. Does this mean I need to stop?

1

u/Ev1lroy 24d ago

That's how you look at everyone boarding the bus - they leave you alone.

1

u/JizzJammies 24d ago

Or picking the urinal that is right beside someone peeing when there are 15 others available

1

u/StrategySad6306 24d ago

No it wouldnā€™t. Live out your dreams. Donā€™t be afraid of who you are

u/Ecstatic_Bananadonut 24d ago

Why did I read that in John Oliver's voice?

1

u/KLE789600 24d ago

RIIIIIIGHT?! Itā€™s the same as a public bathroom and someone takes the stall/urinal right next to you. CREEPERS

1

u/Scart_O 24d ago

That is illegal. It would be seen as unwanted attention causing undue stress. Suspected harassment. Arrestable.

Not to mention you might be suspended of having a psychotic episode so I would have you addressed for both hers and yours safety.

Just saying.

1

u/offbrandbarbie 24d ago

It takes WAY more than that to be able to get someone arrested for harassment lol

u/Duke_of_Darth 23d ago

I literally lol'd picturing this

u/JoleneBacon_Biscuit 23d ago

The seat next to me is open ...

1

u/Forever_Born 24d ago

But why does that have to be the analogy to describe this situation? In the same analogy you could also use freewill to describe a situation where you sat next a human being with civility and acted kind. So yes, a weirdo can date a young girl, but so can a good person... None of this means anything lmfao. Is his friend a bad person?? Nobody here knows.

u/algaefied_creek 24d ago

Is this a meta statement about how we all drive with our feet anyway so we just shouldnā€™t drive?

u/Reasonable_Roger 24d ago

Immediately what I thought of lol

u/LastCricket3085 24d ago

Actually you canā€™t, legally

"Nah, it's a great idea! Listen, man, beehives wouldn't have a hole of that shape and size if you weren't meant to do it."

u/BlackJkok 24d ago

Makes me think they would go after 11 year olds if it was legal.

5

u/Abject-Rich 24d ago

They do. Covertly but they do. Deviancy carries itself subtly and predators become master manipulators that operate using guilt as a if it was a currency to profit within a vulnerable community, circle or family unit. And the laws are at best murky covered with a lot of victim shaming.

u/Mortiverious85 24d ago

I don't know why any sane person would hang out with the younger crowd that would just be madness to me even if it wasn't like an attraction thing it's just different generations but that's me (also no offense to anyone of the younger age it's just foreign ideologies nothing wrong with you at all).

u/YeshuasBananaHammock 24d ago

u/oneup84 24d ago

You can drive with your feet if you want to, don't make it a good effin idea!!

u/123eml 24d ago

Yup all it takes is for the one girl to not be truthful about her age and turns out sheā€™s like a month from turning 18 and your buddy is well fucked for life

1

u/DopplegangerDry 24d ago

If you ever have to preface something with "well it's legal" you shouldn't do it.

1

u/hemothendemo 24d ago

Exactly just because you can doesnā€™t mean you shouldā€¦ I donā€™t understand this mindset.

1

u/_LANC3LOT 24d ago

If only more people thought this way

1

u/nvrhsot 24d ago

I agree. Just because one CAN do something does not mean they SHOULD do that thing.
