Dear Kai,

We&#;re a gay male couple, aged 23 and 45 years vintage respectively—call us Chicken (the younger guy) and Hawk (the older guy). We met on Grindr a couple years ago.

Hawk: I make a very compact salary as a marketing director, and I’m supporting Chicken financially as he goes through university. We also live together in my condo. I deeply, truly love Chicken, and I need nothing but the best for him—I know our age difference is fairly wide, but I feel that we are soulmates. I would never want to take advantage of him, and I’ve let Chicken know that he should never feel that he “owes” me anything just because of our financial situation. I have never been happier in my life, but some of my friends are reacting quite badly to our relationship—they say our age difference makes them uncomfortable and that I’m cradle-robbing, so to speak. One friend has

11 Ways to Find an Older or Younger Male for a Relationship– Same-sex attracted Age Gap Dating Advice

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 discovering marriage material, for gay men, actively finding a partner 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 dating 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 inhabit and work) of the person seeking to join an older / younger man.

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

  • The legality of homosexuality

  • Liberalness and acceptance of gay peo

    When I was unpartnered, in my mid to late 20&#;s, my search filters on Tinder and Grindr always ended at age I don&#;t think there&#;s anything wrong with dating outside of your age as long as you&#;re both legal adults and mature enough to handle a relationship.

    Plus, I&#;m sure there&#;s more than a few of you reading this article &#; myself included &#; with a zaddy/daddy kink. Then there&#;s chronophilia, defined as having the sexual choice for the elderly. Honestly, who cares what your liking is or what makes your heart skip a pound as long as it&#;s safe for both partners.

    We, especially as gay people, face so many hardships for loving who we care for.

    So, why provide another gay couple any sort of grief?

    A new docuseries showing on Channel 4 UK explores relationships that are out of the norm.

    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. If you are happy dating gay men in their twenties, then this question is not important. It&#;s like asking &#;Why do I favor blondes over brunettes?&#; My advice is to allow yourself enjoy dating whomever interests you (as drawn-out as they are over the age of 18).

    Age gap relationships are more common than you may realize. In western countries:

    • 1 out of every twelve male/female couples has an age gap of 10 years or more
    • that number increase to 25% in male/male couples
    • and 15% of female/female relationships

    That same explore indicated that age gap partners are more satisfied and more committed to each other than partners of similar age–though there is some research 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.
