I just have to comment that you and @IronMaushave replied with kindness and eloquence and should provide a positive outlook for the original poster. If an older gent is still interested in a BFE, I applaud and admire him. I'd like to think if the provider couldn't handle an older gent, he will politely refuse. There are many other reasons for a bad match besides age. I think that it would be in the best interest of the client to be realistic and seek out a more mature, experienced provider.
