what does it mean when a man only dates and messes with women that are in his age group or older?

I am that man btw.

I'm 35 years old and for some odd reason all of my life I was never attracted to younger women. today I only date women who are either my age, older or no more than 7 years younger than me. I never understood why but younger women just turn me off for some reason. most of them appear so dramatic, unrealistic, overemotional and most of all CLINGY to me.

but a lot times I just feel weird cause I got a lot of male friends and relatives who are the total opposite of me. in fact some of them are currently in their 40s and they still hit clubs and other lives venues hoping to find women in their late 20s to leave and smooch with..

of course back in my native country is a lot worst. I'm originally from the Dominican Republic and down there you see a lot of men in their 40s bringing 15 year old bimbos and boy does this question make me question the world we live in. it also seems like these same young bimbos dont mind being with these old farts. I seen a lot that have even gone as far as fighting their own mothers and running alway from home just to be with these same old fart.

till then am I the one who's in the wrong? a lot of my male friends and relatives that I mentioned above claim that this is all because I have "mommy's issues"

I don't mean to sound mean but its ridiculous to think that you are " in the wrong". What you prefer is a personal preference and everyone has them.
I'm a female so not the best source of what men think but in general men are known for prefering really young women for...
Their youthful bodies, being able to command them a bit easier, they are more easily impressed, less baggage, lower to no body count, more moldable, better fertility if it comes to potential wife.
You have other priorities in regards to what you like and thats cool.

And there are definitely downsides to dating someone very young which you've already meantioned.

You aren't the only guy that I've met who feels the same as you do. My brother is 33 and he won't date any woman younger than like 28. I tried to encourage him to date younger because he keeps running into party girls with baggage ( I think hes unknowingly attracted to that type of woman) but he wants kids one day and doesn't want someone who already has kids.

Alot of guys that only love really young women mainly want easy sex and some of them couldn't pull that level women when they were younger and had less money and status.
