Gay Relationship Advice: Age Gaps in Same-sex attracted Relationships

Many of my LGBTQ counseling clients ask me why they are only attracted to male lover men younger than themselves. If you are happy internet 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 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 understand. 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 alike study indicated that age gap partners are more satisfied and more devoted to each other than partners of similar age–though there is some analyze 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.
