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 prefer blondes over brunettes?&#; My advice is to let yourself enjoy dating whomever interests you (as long 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 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.

This Is What Happens When An Openly Gay Man Falls In Love With A Woman

I had been an openly gay dude for six years when I fell in love with a woman I'd known since I was Growing up on the Isle of Wight, we bonded over adolescent heartbreak, which happened to me more than once as I got to realize the boys in our year. She was straight, but seemed to understand more than anyone about unrequited love. I wondered why it was that I spoke to her more than my boyfriends, but left my confusion to simmer for years as I drifted through noun. When it finally dawned on me that, yes, this was love, I was well into my first year at university.

Slowly but surely we got back in touch, and arranged to meet back home. We spent the day together, talking, playing video games. But before long, she was waiting for a bus back home. We looked at each other for a long time before sharing our first kiss in the rain, lit only by Christmas lights; it was right out of a movie.

What had seemed like a gradual build-up of feeling to me was a sudden revelation to her, but it didn't take drawn-out for her to revea

'Heartstopper's celebration of queer love in teens makes me angry because I never got to experience that as a gay kid

Netflix's "Heartstopper" is a relatively straightforward story. There are no enemies to lovers, there is no unrequited love, and there is no big tragedy. It's merely about two teenage boys who fall in love.

So I never thought the second season would make me rethink my dating life as a gay male and my childhood trauma.

Although the show can be cringe and sanitized at times, I can't help but find myself beaming with excitement at some of the scenes. Under all that excitement though, there is something else. I'm also feeling jealous, enraged, and frustrated while watching this show.

It reminds me of all the things I'm missing out on when it comes to queer love.

'Heartstopper' showcases a fantasy-like adolescence for queer kids that I was never lucky enough to experience

In the show, Nick and Charlie have a whirlwind romance. They kiss in covert during school hours, they text each other sweet nothings, and they are surrounded by queer friends who af

Are (young) Taiwanese gay men into Western guys? Does age matter? (It doesn't to Thais, Filipinos)

SweetEngland

I’m wondering whether Taiwanese gay men are interested in dating western guys (I’m from the UK).Culturally do they just prefer to have a relationship with another Taiwanese boy or a Chinese?
I’m a middle aged British guy,although I glance younger than my age because I take care of myself.I’ve heard that age for the most part,doesn’t matter to 20 & 30 something Filipino’s and Thai, is this the case with Taiwanese gay men?

Yes, doesn’t matter. There was some gay guy who married some really old dude from uk down in miaoli a adj weeks ago

The age difference was like 50 years

Ps, I ponder the legal age for gays is 18(not 16 as for normal), so keep that in mind

I know some guys like exclusively westerners. So, uh yea.

Regarding age, well, it differs from person to person. You’ll include some who cares about age.
