age difference

This has been discussed so many times.....when providers talk about their clientele, the youngest end of the spectrum seems to be mid/late 30s.  The higher end seems to vary a lot but at least falls into the 50s, although some will report well into the 70s. and few, like Hagen have had even older clients There are some long-term past/present posters who were in their 80s. When I've attended DC meet-ups. I would guess that ages ranged from late 40s to 70s. 

The long-term guys for whom this is a profession are accustomed to their clients being older, sometimes quite older than them. Some, like Mike Gaite have indicated that they've always been into guys older than themselves.

If there's going to be a problem it will be among younger guys, new to the occupation. The youngest guys tend to be disorganized as business people which makes me glad I'm not interested in twinks. There is huge turnover within the first month of an ad and some others don't last more than a few months. The best advice if you want to avoid perceived rejection is to wait and see who establishes themselves and to look at comments here. 

If you're self conscious about your appearance, join a gym and get into a program of exercise and diet. You'll live longer and ultimately will be happier. Again, providers for whom this is a profession or at least a long-term gig, will have seen it all and will accept the range of guys they see. Newbies---well, wait and see who sticks around. If you're self-conscious, you probably don't want to be someone's "training case".

I, too, have been hiring providers since I was about 30.  Always my age or younger at that time. I am in my mid-60's and I still prefer younger, twink type guys.  Maybe it's because I started with other guys when I was in my teens.  In any case I rarely have been turned down because of my age. My experience has been that most young providers like to meet someone who is settled in their home, can turn them on to food they've never tried or music from our time that they've not heard before, etc.

I met a 23 yo provider who has only been at it for a few months and who was all over me as soon as he saw me. I've been at this long enough to know it was not just the $ in this case but his attraction to a friendly, nice, older man in decent physical shape.  The "Daddy" effect maybe?  Although he was dominant and I was more than happy to accommodate him in that role.
