Eli5 Why is it that people tend to be attracted to people in their own age group ?

Question

When I was a teenager, thirty year olds just seemed ancient and unattractive, even like movie star good looks. Now I’m thirty and teenagers look like babies. Is there a name for this ? I know that obviously people can be attracted to anyone of any age, but in general, people seem to notice their own age group.
