Cornell Young IV Gets Real About His Type
Ladies, if you’re thinking about shooting your shot at Cornell Young IV, just KNOW you have to meet a certain criteria. And no, it’s probably not what you’re thinking! In fact, it’s all about age! While appearing on ‘The Shop,’ Young admitted that he prefers his ladies a little older. The 26-year-old actor explained that he struggles with dating women his age or younger because he often feels a “disconnect.” Cornell said he grew up learning the importance of having a “conversation and communicating.” He credited his grandparents, great-aunts, and great-uncles for teaching him to “use his words” when speaking to others.
“So, for me I grew up around […] we speak, we use words. You express yourself a certain type of way. All the women I’ve ever dated have always been older than me.”

Cornell Young IV Says That It All Comes Down To A Level Of Maturity
Cornell continued saying that at the end of the day, there’s a certain level of maturity that he rocks with. He explained that sometimes people bring a certain type of energy based on assumptions instead of simply having conversations. Young said he has no problem with people expressing their feelings, but he rather talk things out and address the issue than avoid the conversation altogether. From there, he doubled down on the importance of communication, emphasizing that speaking openly is key!
“This generation is so fixated on this and that. I’m not with that. I like to go out and have a conversation and go do real life things.”
