I am 20 years old guy and my dad is 43 and divorced my mom 3 years ago. He has been dating ever since and the majority of the women he dates are in their early to mid 20s and this pisses me off. My dad is a very good looking guy that looks like he is in his early to mid 30s so I can see why women like him but I am just not comfortable with him dating women that I also would be dating based on age. Should I confront him and tell him I am not comfortable with this or let him be.
And maybe he's just not comfortable with you dating women that he would also be dating based on age.
Seriously, your discomfort is fine. But it's your discomfort. Deal with it - but don't make your Dad deal with it, because it's not his issue.
I'm wondering how the OP even knows who his dad dates. He must still be living at home? And if so, why? And how soon can he move out, to give his dad privacy?

It gave me the same kind of vibe as well. But, unfortunately for the OP, his father is an adult - and as such, he has the right to date any woman he chooses who is an adult.
OP, don't talk to your father about anything to do with dating or about anything regarding his personal dating life, and then you won't know who he is dating. I can understand why it bothers you, but there's nothing you can do (or should do) about it.
Who your dad dates is none of your business. If it makes you uncomfortable you can tell your dad that and ask him not to bring them when the two of you are doing something.

Uh, what exactly is earth shattering about this? Were you born yesterday or something? Maybe if you reach his age, and find out you do the same thing, then, you'll understand, but for now, be pissed, or jealous. LOL.
If you feel he sincerely does not know, and you think he would want to (I would as a parent) you should tell him.
