to answer your question honestly, although types are of course, different from person to another, it's best to avoid older ones at a young age. not saying you stop liking older ones, it's just, age gaps can sometimes cause problems one way or another. they probably dumped you to avoid manipulation? sometimes older people tend to unconsciously affect younger ones because of the personality/experience differences. that's just my opinion though. feel free to explore your preferences if thats what you really like. have a good day!
just avoid the age gap while you are a minor. After that, you are an adult and you do what you want and be happy
Is it weird that usually (all the time) my type of men are those whose age is the same as the seme in the story? I've dated a few but dumped me when they learned that I'm 16.
