I honestly would have a hard time understanding or even trusting a 30 year old who would date a 19 year old, since I would assume the 30 year old would realize that the 19 year old was still growing and changing and probably not ready to date someone who's an actual functioning adult. Age difference doesn't matter to me, it's only the idea that someone that young isn't done mentally developing yet.

Well, like I said previously, I am an almost 27 year old and I am often attracted to girls as young as 19 and would have no problem with dating someone that young. So I guess I'm one of those creepy sleaze balls you don't trust huh?
Btw, you're generalizing. Maturity doesn't come from physical age, it comes from experience. I have never dated anyone at all. So therefore I am developmentally closer to 19 year olds than to women my age, most of whom are done dating anyways and just want bag a husband. By your logic I shouldn't date women my age either.
Also, what if a guy is only attracted to young women? How is that different than a man who is only attracted to men? I can't control who I'm attracted to and does tend to be younger women. Why is it fair for me to be judged for that?
When does someone "get done developing" anyways? I see you're 22, do you think you're still a child who's off limits to 30 year old men also?
Just fyi, I am SEETHING with anger right now.
