Hi, you can call me John even though that’s not my real name.
I’m male and I guess an AAM.
I’m obviously not looking to date, but I am curious on how I should deal with my attraction to women above 18.
Not very attracted to men, although some I do find attractive.
I’ll try to be active on here. Any tips or communities I could reach out to would be great!

Short of moving to a country where you can act on it, I'm not sure what you would mean by "deal"? I'm sure most teenagers have access to "outlets" in the online era, and would not need telling, which may cause problems here.
Life generally improves after the teen years. You are not getting chased out of the garden of eden.

What type of men do you find attractive? It is pretty common for some adult-attracted heterosexual males to like twinks, or smooth skinned asian males, as the physique and appearance is not dissimilar.

I just find some men to be… I guess endearing? Maybe it’s because (obviously) they are more relatable to me and it seems like I can do more things with them than with women, although that might be a little sexist. I can be more open around men. Also, I just mean finding communities where I can talk to others. I’m not just attracted to women above 18, but none below my age group (15) really. Basically, I just don’t really know where I can express my feelings and concerns with reasonable freedom.
Well, that's why we are now having laws to clamp down on any person below the age of 16 using social media. If they could have their way, they would also ban under-18s, or under-25s from using the internet entirely while banning VPNs.
Almost any platform would not let a 15-year-old express themselves in terms of their attraction to adults, because they are concerned about "grooming". That is, when the parent who still has legal authority over the teen discovers their activities and goes into a rage about the corporations and predators corrupting their "child".
All it takes is one or two really reactionary parents and an ambulance-chasing legal firm, and the benefits simply do not outweigh the risks.
Where do I think minors are? Well, certainly in social media communities, and fediverse instances (indy social media without the grooming hysteria), most of the latter we can't mention here. The fediverse instance I moderate is very strict about flirtation by minors, and just removes these accounts on sight because of the legal risk they pose.
The entire demise of a very famous fediverse server was bought about when the leader, who was waging a war against "sexualized" minors admitted he lost that war and retreated to posting nonsense on Twitter of all places.
I'm amazed just how much winning highly-sexed minors are doing on the clear web. Back when I helped found Newgon, 20 years ago, servers were getting raided and shut down for a lot less. One or two "activists" got arrested basically for sharing opinions...

Mr Burton, you remind me of a teacher that I used to flirt with. Mr. Burton, you mentioned the garden of eden, imagine if Eve never ate the apple. Mr. Burton, I am kind of glad she did though, now she bleeds every month. Mr. Burton, do you have a big Adam's apple. Mr. Burton, my final question is do you masturbate in Adam's image.
I support AAMs and MAPs. Personally I am a romantic GL but I support loving relationships between people from infants all the way up to the elderly.
