I am 36 and I like masculine older men who are around 50 or older. I don't know how it started. I found older men who are clean cut professional looking, executive kind, romantic, family man type, with some extra weight are very attractive. I am afraid that people may look at me as a person who tries to just get money. In fact, all I want is just being close to him, held by him, and maybe more. Some people say I didn't get live and attention when I was young. I have had plenty of love from my parents, but I still want to be with older men. Is there something wrong with me?
Nope, I was always attracted to older men, too. Just have caution because some older men who date significantly younger men aren't seeking anything serious or long-term and will not be kind or take care of you.
I understand exactly what you said. And I have to say that it's sad too that gay society has lots of lies especially when it comes to sex.
There is nothing wrong with you. I found older men are (normally) more mature, sweeter, treat you better, etc. I am also dating an older man and in no way react it
Same. I really like older men, especially sexually. There is an older gentlemen that works in my building and whenever im with him i start to warm up. i know what you mean about people thinking you just want money or whatever... but you just gotta live for the moments and as long as whoever ur with knows your true then it doesn't matter. I often see these two and think they just look foolish and parculiar and its how I dont want to be seen
That picture is not creepy. Unfortunately Steven Fry is not particularly photogenic and always looks a bit comical which is fortunate since he's a comedian at least some of the time. He's an actor and a wonderful orator. "I will be inebriated with the exuberance of my own verbosity" is one of my favorite quotes. If I was into older guys Steven Fry would be my trigger crush. He's awesome.
Having seem them at various events in person together, I would agree. They seem genuinely happy with one another and clearly committed to each other.
I have only been with older men to date. Hopefully when I am fully out I will have the opportunity to explore men my own age, younger? I am sure there is a bit of pathology to my older male attraction, hoping to approach my next relationship without baggage from childhood. - J
Well, as an older guy (57) and recently out, I am getting a lot of interest from younger guys....in their early to late-twenties. I don't understand it. I'm flattered I guess, but didn't know if it's real. Did a lot of research on it and it seems to be more of a phenomenon in the last decade, so I guess it IS real. Here's the way I look at it: life is short, embrace opportunities for love and affection when you can as it just doesn't come around very often! I used to be wary of gold-diggers or someone wanting sugar-daddies, and I guess they exist, but it seems like some guys really just want that love/affection connection. I get it now, I certainly would like it. Perhaps someday I'll be able to have that connection. I say - more power to you guys!
To the OP: there is nothing wrong with you. Everyone has a "type" and what you find attractive varies from person to person. Myself and my two closest gay friends talk about who we find attractive and it's like talking at cross purposes because we all are into completely different guys.
This type of relationship has been around since ancient Greece, the erastes-eromenos relationship was a social norm throughout that culture. My point is you are not in any way extraordinary in your taste for an older man.
I've only ever been attracted to guys in their early to late 30's. Guys my age are just so immature. I'd rather not waste my time with them. But I do have a limit: 10 years.
Like the others said you are perfectly normal. Dont mind it. I like younger guys and older guys. It is nothing to worry about dont worry. Dont worry, it is who you are.
There was a period in time where I was only attracted to older men. Now, I'm attracted to all sorts of guys and I'm not too concerned about age. I guess overtime, I came to the realization that as the age gap increases, it gets harder to relate to your partner. My boyfriend right now is only a year older than me, and we relate on so many levels, something my pass relationships have failed on.
There's just something about older guys. For me I think it's the whole older mentor thing.. Being guided and taught by someone mature. Plus a guy in his 50's who likes younger is generally going to be more appreciative and treat you better. Plus the whole taboo of being dominated by someone old enough to be your father..
I have always been attracted to older guys, and now that I am one, I like guys within a decade of my age (55). The exception is that I do find much younger guys attractive if they are geeky/nerdy, but not so sure I'd date any, as we wouldn't have all that much in common to talk about as points-of-reference. Fry and his partner could well be a terrific couple, but the picture itself is a bad one.
