Finding 18 year olds physically attractive as a 30+ year old adult is weird

I'm 27 right now and 18 year olds just come across as children to me. Not only that but physically there is very little difference between a 15 year old and an 18 year old. I've met many people, both men and even women, that were attracted to someone they thought was over 18, only to find out later that they were 15 or 16.

It just always creeps me out when adults over the age of 30 say that their minimum age of dating is 18. I know that legally 18 year olds are physically adults, but as someone that was 18 at some point themselves and as someone that has spoken to some 18 year olds as an adult I can safely say that most 18 year olds are not adults when it comes to mindset and mental fortitude.
