I’ve noticed that many men that are my age tend to pursue a relationship with “kids’ 19 years old or lower. I understand that this is not at all uncommon but, for some reason, I am horrendously repulsed at the idea of dating someone 10 years younger than me. Is the lack of sexual attraction towards legal teens perceived as abnormal?

No not abnormal. Most men who are chasing women that young are either just chasing there missed dream, or are predators looking for someone emotionally and mentally vulnerable
There are a couple of dynamics at play here.
First, women of that age tend to seek emotional maturity, but more often financial security which older men provide. They tend to have better outcomes for a committed relationship.
Younger guys tend to want to be “players” and constantly play the field. They are looking for hookups and not committed relationships. This has a side effect of making a relationship with an older gentleman more appealing.
Men of that age tend to want a younger woman. The reason isn’t always so obvious. In some cases, they want children but do not want to be step father’s.
So younger women tend to be more accepting to having children and less likely to already have existing children from previous relationships.
On top of that, younger women tend to have less baggage, emotionally. They have usually dealt with less relationship drama, and have less emotional issues that can effect the relationship.
in a lot of the cases, men in generally do not want a relationship with someone who has dealt with such trauma that their home life ends up being more of a battlefield instead of a stable relationship.
I am sure others have various viewpoints that are valid, including just looking for someone more vulnerable and naive, but realistically, it’s not that uncommon even in the past to current day.
Everyone has a preference and a reasoning for that preference.
