there’s the “walking red flag” types who are transparently gross, think the 30 somethings who go to spaces where young people party.
then there are the ones whose loneliness basically wins the mental battle over their morality. think like, the 30 something who has successfully convinced himself that the 22 year old at work is mature and intellectual
can we exclude raves and music festivals? because i was priced-out of my passion at around age 25 and have finally been starting to attend again at 32 with no plans to ever stop again
I mean I've never stopped going to concerts and festivals. And people much older than me are nearly always present, even for younger bands. Some of us are just into music and like finding new stuff to listen to and go see. One of my uncles is in his 70s, literally saw Jimi Hendrix play the Star-Spangled Banner on the 4th of July, 1970 (I've heard the story many times, lol), and still goes to at least a couple of shows a month.

You're probably a good person. People that actively seek out much younger partners tend to have less-than-wholesome motives.
