Josh, I think that your parents mean well. I might lose my shit and act a little less than nurturing if I were approached with that information about my son. I don't think it is because your parents are trying to be mean. I think it is because they are wondering what kind of middle-aged man wants to date a man who is practically still a boy (please don't take offense to that, as none is meant).
As for my opinion, for what it is, I do think you are too young. People your age should be dating people your age because you are at the same stage developmentally. Once you are, say, ten years older, age differences matter much less because development ceases.
I could be wrong, but I think he means your parents could have handled their approach to talking to you about this better.
In my opinion, if their approach had worked, you would understand their position and not be looking for the advice of near strangers in an internet forum instead of respecting the advice of your parents.
