I get what you're coming from.
It's funny, but "my relationship with money" is probably the only thing that keeps me from doing the same.

When I was young I was amazed that some men hired me once a week, and sometimes I'd also see them additionally for lunch or coffee or this or that.  Then, in 2012 I found a non-sexual masseur who trained at the same school I did a decade earlier, but is light years ahead of me in skill (though I would say our intuition is about level), and I found myself hiring him nearly weekly until lockdown 8 years later.  And I don't have money, at all.  But, I kinda needed him.  So, what surprised the young me, made complete sense at 40.

go on RM and filter by age - there are huge drops in 40+ and even more drop at 50+ and very few at 60+. out of the hundreds of providers on RM - there are 30 guys 60yrs and over….a relatively small percentage.   if there was a preference for older, then there would be more older. 
seems like this conversation is confusing preferences for hiring vs other preferences- big difference 
btw - the ageism experienced in the US does not happen in the same way in other places. In Latin America & Europe, older gay men are much more visible & mix more frequently in bars/clubs without disapproval or stigma. It seems to be the worst in the US, followed by other English speaking countries - UK, Canada & Australia.  I think it has something to do with other cultures more general respect for elders. 

LOL—the guy who ridicules anyone who isn't extremely fit and 25 saying I'm being "prejudicial" is the funniest thing I've read all week. Thanks for the laugh. 
Again, we're not talking about a preference. We're talking about people who are either averse or completely uninterested in people their own age. Whatever someone thinks about guys in their 60s or 70s is what he thinks about himself. 

I take issue with the thread title. I don’t accept that there is a “major aversion” here. We all have our individual preferences and make individual choices.
 
In the same way, I bet most posters here have a range of friendships. I have 3 friends with whom I go to classical music recitals; I have only 1 other friend who likes opera; I’ve several friends who enjoy going out for dinner; but I’ve only 3 different friends with whom I go on vacation trips. 
Alas, only 1 of my friends is older than me. But I’m very glad to have 4 friends in their 30s while most friends are middle-aged. 

Men, gay or straight, are usually sexually attracted by the appearance of youth--in males or females--and women are generally the same (e.g., wealthy older  women with their "boytoys"). The traditional explanation was biological: men are designed to look to mate with females who can bear and raise their children, while women want a mate who appears to be potent. For gay men there are also psychological or sociological explanations given: men who are "tops" want younger men whom they can dominate socially or physically, men who are "bottoms" want to be dominated by younger men who are physically stronger than they are, etc. Of course, there are also some gay men, regardless of their age, who are looking for dominant older men ("daddies").  Most older men and women tend to look to their peers for friendship rather than for sex, so since a majority of the men who pay for sex are older, on a website geared toward that topic (CofM is not a dating site after all), the focus is usually on younger men.

An escort friend told me: "the 2 best things about aging are the accumulation of money and the increasing number of young/er guys". 

Agreed!
Besides some guys claim to be bi because some clients see that as more masculine.

Most of the guys who have sex for money aren't actually into it.
Gay or bi.
I would suggest that 50% of your bisexual hires were gay4pay and not actually bisexual. ( I know it's a blurry line ).

I knew several providers who claimed as bi but never had intimacy with a girl 😂 

I always date in my own age group. I need someone who recognizes the same cultural references.
I only buy boys to play around.

Only if they stay the whole hour.

EDIT: Also, although his ad says he's a "great kisser," he won't kiss until the "second appointment." That's one of his memorized English phrases.

Ask them in person.
If they forgot what you asked the next time you meet, then don't even try to get closer. That's him staying away.

Ditto.
Also - a question for providers - is it common to list yourself as bi even if you're almost completely gay? I've met a lot of people (both in the real world and RM) who seem to do that. I'm guessing it signals more masculinity,

No.
The way you worded your post did NOT make that clear.
You said you were tired of bisexuals because they are just gay for play and don't actually like sex with guys.
You seem to have a strange understanding of the word bisexual.
 

Providers. Most of us on here are old, thus have no issues seeing men around our age. And yes, 70 is the new 50 just like 5 inches is the new 7. 🤣

I thought 70 was the new 50. 

Regardless of who I reach out to with a friendly piece of information, I will do it few times. Then, I wait for them to reach out to me in a similar spontaneous manner. I always assume that if I never get a similar reach out, they have no interest in any relationship beyond the one we already have.

Unfortunately, guys are more expensive than chocolate.  You can really screw up your finances if you can't control yourself.
