Finding a younger guy ready to build an enduring partnership is possible, but perhaps harder to find. Some men find younger guys attractive but have been disappointed in finding a younger man who is also interested in a committed LGBTQ relationship. Use those lessons to unlearn any self-reproach you have about whom you find beautiful.
You’ve probably already learned a lot about unpacking society’s arbitrary rules about attraction. If they hurt no one then they are good.Īs a gay man you have already spent years judging your LGBTQ sexuality. Your job is to accept your attractions rather than judge them. If you find 25-year-old-guys cute you probably will always find them cute.
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). If you are happy dating gay men in their twenties, then this question is not important. Many of my LGBTQ counseling clients ask me why they are only attracted to gay men younger than themselves.
