What is the appeal of “daddies?”

In addition to being a smart marketing move by providers, I think daddies are having a bit of a moment. I’m in my early 50s and get far more attention from guys in their 20s than I did when I was in my 20s.

There's a lot of truth to this. Now that we're in our 50s, my husband and I can't go on the apps without being besieged by guys in their 20s. For the most part, we're not into guys in their 20s. They tend to be flighty, unskilled in sex, emotionally immature, and often - especially providers - far more enamored with their appearance than is warranted. 

I agree with those who say providers listing "Daddies" as part of their "Into" is clever marketing. That said, "Daddies" are a subgroup within the gay sexual marketplace like "twinks," "muscle guys," "bears," or "otters." In my experience, it's somewhat less about age and more about a combination of aesthetics and personality. 

I have always been attracted to older men; even now I see men in their 60s and 70s who are really attractive.

Obviously, providers want people who can pay them, but plenty of guys of all ages are attracted to Daddies, not all of whom have tons of money.
