Young for old gay

When it comes to attraction, a large age gap brings with it numerous nuances. One of arguably the biggest hurdles to overcome is the first. How to meet an older partner or younger partner?

From finding a fling to revealing marriage material, for gay men, actively finding a significant other that’s significantly older or younger can feel much more difficult than for those seeking those similar to their age.

Aside from the reduced number of people genuinely interested in matchmaking app someone 15 years, 20 years, 30 years + apart from them (like TheAgeGapGuys have), location plays the biggest part. This isn't meaning physical distance between people – though that naturally impacts relationship sustainability – but the long term location (i.e. where you live and work) of the person seeking to join an older / younger man.

Your location impacts an enormous array of things for lgbtq+ men, including but not limited to:

  Gay Relationship Advice: Age Gaps in Gay Relationships

  Many of my LGBTQ counseling clients ask me why they are only attracted to gay men younger than themselves.

  • and 15% of female/female relationships

  That same study indicated that age gap partners are more satisfied and more committed to each other than partners of similar age–though there is some investigate that points to a correlation with higher rates of divorce. Research also shows that couples with an age gap of less than ten years are happier than those with an age gap greater than ten years.
