Attracted to younger women - is it all that wrong?

I'm 33 and I tend to be attracted to women around 19, 20, 21 ish. I get stick off some people, being called a 'dirty old man', 'cradlesnatcher' and other such rubbish.
The thing I am attracted to women of that age - I'm not saying I ONLY go for that age. As for being a 'dirty old man', I treat them totally respectfully (in fact many have said they prefer this because guys their own age tend to be pretty childish). OK the relationships will usually end up sexual but it's not just about that. It's not some midlife crisis (at 33??), I just am attracted to around that age. It's not a conscious decision, it's just the way I am.
Is it that wrong? Morally or whatever?

If it is what you like, and you find people who are attracted to you then there is no harm.
Just dont shut off any options to be with someone who is a similar age to you
but as Bunnie says, don't cut off the options of someone a similar age to you either. You never know who you may meet along life's way and who is suited to you.
There's a big difference between being attracted to someone and actually liking that person for who they are as well.
Thanks for all your opinions guys (and guyettes!), in answer to the above I don't think I look all that young really, I probably look my age or a touch older (or so I'm told) but maybe that's the deciding factor for them? From your replies it's clear that someone women do prefer an older guy so maybe there's something in that.
I don't just go for younger women, it's not just about the age. But just as some guys prefer blonde/skinny/large/clever/chavvy (delete as appropriate) women, we all have our own tastes.
If I met 2 women who were almost identical in each way apart from one being 21 and the other 31, I'd chose the younger.
Oh I wouldn't go for just anyone of that age, obviously they need to be fairly mature too.
Watch Manhattan by Woody Allen, cos it's brilliant, and it's about this.
As long as you aren't actually Glenn Quagmire himself, you haven't got much to worry about.
* In case anyone's got the wrong idea, no, I'm not suggesting that women over the age of 40 are fat with saggy boobs. I've met plenty who could qualify as MILF, if you catch my drift. Moving on...
Too little too late SG. Your disclaimer won't work. You're about to be eaten alive by all the women over 40.....
.....Enjoy.
Not 19.
It is? Fuck.
