Is it normal to only be attracted to older men

I'm attracted to older men and I've never been with someone my age or younger. I'm 19 and being with someone who is 40 does not sound weird to me but my friends think it is.

    I don't think it's normal at all.

    I am not saying this in a judgemental way. I am attracted to much older women, so I am in a similar situation. But I also like girls my age.

    I suggest talking to a psychologist about this and seeing if there is some way they can help with this. I am considering talking to a psychologist about my weird feelings, too.

      You haven't got a problem. Stay away from psychologists, they'll fuck up your mind.

        Well I am pretty mentally ill, so I am already getting therapy for that. I have OCD, anxiety, and depression. How do you think mentally ill people are supposed to fix their issues? By eating oranges and doing yoga?

        Also "You haven't got a problem." Really? And how do you know that?

          Psychology is ok cause you're in control but Pyschiatrists will mess with your mind and treat you like a lab rat for new medicines.

          If you need help with anxiety find a good psychologist to do cbt with so that you control your fate. For depression, find a way, possibly through cbt, to change the circumstances of your life.

          Drugs won't help in the long run. I'm not saying depression is chemical but its happening for a reason and its better to find the source and change it.

          I know you were joking but yes diet and things like yoga help with both depression and anxiety because they change yyour brain chemistry naturally.

          I dont have experience with OCD so I dont know what that is about but best of luck.

          I saw shrinks (psychiatrists) for decades for depression and anxiety and all they did was fuck me up worse and drain my bank account.

          Don't listen to him, he's an older dude who's probably turned on by your problem.

            well idk if I would say that. but i do think he is biased. he is an old guy and he likes women in their 20s, so there's that.

              Yep. When I was in my twenties guys who much older hit on me a lot, and it always disgusted me.

    My first boyfriend was twice my age. It was incredible. We had to keep it very secret for many reasons. Swim coach (from another school).

    if i were a woman id be looking at older men as well . calling you whores is for shock value. women are by human nature not creative at all. they have neither the means nor the capacity for making money they are perfect creatures to raise children and for that reason are invaluable to this species. we dont need women to act as men , we have all the men we need. what we need is women willing to be women , somthing men can not be. old men will always find a young woman to breed because women are not stupid. women that marry boys wind up divorcing them , women that dont marry wind up being cat ladies. women that marry old men wind up with old men and children but at least they are not divorced cat ladies.

    its normal , my wife is 13 years younger. at the time i was 40 , a 17 year old was sniffing around telling people and her dad i was her boyfriend.Plus i was dating a 30 year old . before my wife. thing is women want security . try getting that from a boy. they dont want daddy , they want security . dont be stupid. Now im sixty , you know who is sniffing it? the women working 40 hours a week on their feet at checkout counters age 30-45. they dont see me as father to kids because i wont be around , they see me as security. some one that can care for them even after im dead. its all about the money boys , women are whores . they always were.

    It's good. I'm an older man. We're more interesting than young ones. I used to be a young man and I was a bit of a dick really.

    Older like 5-10 years sure. But you are attracted to a man more than twice your age?! That sounds dangerous.

    Legally there's nothing prohibiting this, but wouldn't you see something predatory? Seriously, take the time to think of what kind of 40 yo man wants to get with a 19 yo girl. The only kind I can think of would be a complete pervert, you don't want that do you?

    I can understand, you see something in older men because they're more like REAL men. They are; independent, strong, confident... 19 year-olds are just like children. Maybe the guys in your life are jacking off and playing videogames, and you require a little more substance.

    I say hold off on dating, for now. What you're suggesting sounds dangerous, I don't want to see anyone getting taken advantage of. Your friends don't either.

      What you're saying is that men over 40 are dangerous perverts tho, which is pretty fucked up to say.

      Depending on how emotionally mature OP is there really shouldn't be anything dangerous about two adults being together.

      What do you think these 40 yo men are doing thats anymore dangerous than say a 22 year old??

        The reason I think this is wrong is that this is not going to be a healthy relationship. A 22 yo can be destructive too, but at least there they can relate to each other. Since they're close to the same age, they see the world in a similar light and share similar experiences growing up.

        A 40 something dating a 19 yo can only mean he wants some fresh pussy. What do I think is so dangerous about these men? They're using girls for sex only. If the guy wanted someone "emotionally mature" he'd date someone in his own generation. Chasing girls that are young enough to be your daughter makes you a pervert, plain and simple.

        Do I have to explain to you why dating a pervert is a bad idea?

          Almost all dating is about sex. I wouldnt be into it, as I stated in my other post, but two consenting adults doesn't signal danger or perversion necessarily.
