Heterosexual single men: do you have a perceived age minimum that you use to decide if you will even approach a woman?

And do you avoid dating women who look “barely grown” even if they’re older than “barely grown” due potential judgement from strangers, friends and relatives?
An Internet acquaintance mentioned that he felt he had to avoid dating baby faced women, even if they were the same age as him or older.

For example, a 40-year-old who prefers to date women ages 30+ may decide not to approach anyone who appears under 30. Or he may only approach women who appear to be 25+ to account for women that look younger than their age.

Another example: A man, regardless of age, may date any adult as long as she’s 18+ but may implement an internal “must-look-at-least-21-to-approach” to play it a little safe.

In this age of what appears to be changing attitudes toward age inappropriate relations, a good development, I am also wondering if men are pushing up their perceived age requirement. Perhaps the 30-year-old who was only checking for women who appeared to be 21+ has bumped up his perceived age requirement to 25+ to be extra sure. This logic is akin to bars and retail outlets that card anyone who appears to be under 40 just to be sure.
