I am 50 and cannot find anyone, and I mean anyone interested in me who is close to my age on Grindr. I am hit up by guys in their 20s and 30s (I don't make a first move unless they specifically say they are into older). I end up meeting with some of them and they are always great sexually, but after that it is very very hard to make a connection that doesn't involve getting naked. Still trying to figure out how to bridge the chasm between younger and more mature gay men. Very grateful so many younger guys find something sexy in an older man.

Adam Burnett, the soccer player, on his elder gay boyfriend.

[Quote] I am dating a 50-year-old man and am happier than ever. My family, my friends, my coaches, my peers and my teammates know I am dating him and are happy for me and respect me for how brave I am. I don’t care who thinks it’s wrong. It is my life and I am happy.

More on the elder gay who, based on this passage, probably started pursuing him before he graduated high school.

[Quote] I am also passionate about my boyfriend, Tom. I love him and care about him a lot. After we met, we went on a few runs together. We knew each other for a year before officially dating. That year it was a big challenge for us because the only reason we didn’t date was because of the fear we had of what others would think. But the love we have for each other beats all of that.

For those of you elder gays who want to snag your own young twink like him, get off the couch and onto the treadmill.

[Quote] Tom has been a marathon and triathlon runner since he was in his mid-20s. His best marathon time is 2 hours and 55 minutes and he runs the Boston Marathon every year. He is in as good a shape as me and more than most people my age.

This relationship might last longer than a lot of you might think. Look how long Tom Daley and DLB have been together. If this is a boy with daddy issues, a break up may be a long ways off.

R20, how long will this last? I just can't fathom this will last long. Beyond the physical attraction, what do these two have in common? What do a teenager who hasn't lived yet, and an experienced middle-age guy have in common to sustain a relationship? I'm genuinely puzzled. I'm 47 myself. Thanks to 20+ years of hard work at the gym I do have a body that attracts young fit guys (and yes, as many have mentioned in numerous threads here, it is incredible the number of young guys with daddy issues). I recently met this 25 yo stud who was quite enamoured with me and I played along. We went on a couple of dates. First date he took me to his favourite greasy spoon. Hadn't been to one of those since probably my student days. Next date I treated him to an upscale trendy place. And I had to explain him the entire menu. He hadn't heard of/tried anything before (balsamic vinegar? Tuna ceviche? Beef carpaccio?). Nothing wrong of course, but it just confirmed there was an experience gap of a lifetime between us that we would never be able to bridge. And that would be for everything else there is in life. That's when I decided to end the experiment. At the end of the day, 50 year olds do not belong with teenagers.

a younger guy I know, I'm pretty sure, started to come out to me, asking me how old I was when I came out and did I know a good shrink.

He told me he's straight.

Three times.

I wasn't sure what to do; just tried to be there and offer an ear. I recommended the shrink. There's an age diff, but not like these two.

Next thing I know the kid is telling mutual pals he feels 'weird' around me, doesn't know how to distance himself.

And there's this 50 year old who has a 19 year old BF.

I'm not saying I was looking for that with this kid, but I can't even make friends, apparently.

I am mid-30s and would have trouble justifying dating a 19 year old.

A guy that age needs to be with his peers, make mistakes, learn about life.

I'd feel I was trapping him and that he'd wake up at age 30 and feel he'd missed much of his adolescence.

OTOH, not everyone is the same and there are relationships like that that seem to work.

They're both consenting adults. Your comment is absurd and shows you lack any sort of mental acuity that would be expected for someone of your age. Your personal <5 year dating preference is not a moral or ethical compass that everyone else should be expected to follow. Grow up. Calling this man a pedophile is libelous.

Some people remain children well into adulthood. R19 is one of those people. Some young men are wise beyond their years.

I'm youngish and have never connected with men my age at any point. I didn't grow up in a repressive, hypocritical nuclear family. I've been fully cognizant of my choices and preferences since I reached the age of consent and adulthood. I'm now in my mid 20's and still only find commonality with older men 90% of the time. I don't want to make assumptions about the 19 year old one way or the other but maybe he's advanced for his age. If it's solely a sexually motivated thing then whatever.

They're both adults and obviously have a connection that transcends age. Good for them. Things will be tricky when the 50 year old is 70 though but in all honesty this will probably be a short lived affair. This sort of stuff has been happening for millennia and is of course condoned and celebrated when a heterosexual man in his 50's bags a girlfriend 20-30 years his junior.

R34 -- you can have a sexual relationship with a younger guy--nothing wrong with that. (And I realize you were likely parodying the typical hetero response)

But when it starts turning into an emotional one, "boyfriends" and all that rather than "fuck buddies" -- that's where I'd draw the line

by Anonymousreply 39March 8, 2020 2:35 PM

R38 Hugh Hefner made an entire career of it and was mourned almost unanimously. Jeff Goldblum, Dennis Quaid (39 year difference, she's 26), Beyonce met Jay Z when she was 18 and they started dating when she was 19, Dane Cook (47 dating a 20 year old) Sam and Aaron Taylor Johnson, The Clooneys, Baldwin, Beckinsale/Davidson. These are just a few.

And the most pertinent example being DiCaprio-- the most successful and in demand Hollywood actor who is never savaged in the media for being a 45 year old dating a 22 year old because it's part of his playboy lothario image. They met when she was 10.

None of these actors have been cancelled or been called pedophiles. I'm living in the year where I recognize homophobic double standards and puritanical idiocy. What about you?

I went to private schools but grew up in that school district where he went. Mostly white bread Republicans. Glad to hear he was accepted without many issues. His college, Rockhurst, is in Kansas City and run by Jesuits. It would not be a bad place for him to go since many schools of that ilk are very soccer-oriented. I would bet that his relationship with his boyfriend is of a short duration, perhaps a few years. They're each getting something from it for the time being and as long as they follow the "campfire" rule, no harm done.

Some of you guys have very weird and severe hang ups over age. It's between the two of them, isn't it? What difference does it make to you what the age difference is? If they're happy, I'm happy.

I can verify the truth of what the above poster said. I'm in my 50's and the ONLY guys that hit me up are in their 20's and 30's. Guys my age aren't interested in me. Where a lot of you are mistaken is that you automatically assume that the young guy was "pursued" by the older guy and just eventually succumbed. I'd bet money that it was the reverse and that it was the young guy who pursued the older one. That's been my experience. I NEVER pursue a guy in his 20s and I have more dates/hookups with guys in that age group than any other.

The odd dynamics of the gay community are why you have so many 20 and 30 something guys pursuing older guys.

Guys in their 20s and 30s who are less than perfect looking are often shunned by guys their own age. Maybe they are five pounds overweight. Maybe their hair is thinning. Maybe they're just not model handsome.

Older guys, OTOH, are thrilled that a 25 year old "6" or "7" is interested in them, the younger guy feels validated that someone thinks he's hot, especially if it's someone who is still very good looking, just over 45.

by Anonymousreply 87March 9, 2020 2:50 PM

My first love was 42 and I was 20. I was in college and this relationship was tremendously validating for me. I was crazy about him.

Within 3 years, it was clear that I was growing and he was not. His superior experience and financial security gave him a lot of subtle control, not so much over me, specifically, but over our life together. He had his own issues that I could not see at that time, or begin to understand. But a lover who was a peer would have been entirely intimidating to him. He could not have done that. And he didn't want to, either.

And so, I outgrew the limiting place he had for a partner. I graduated from college and ventured out into my life. He would not budge in any way from how he had lived his life. I had read "A Doll's House" and what to do.

In a year, he had a new partner. 20 years old. No college. No plans to do more than his job in retail.

I hope they had a long and happy life together. It's possible for it to happen, I suppose. But when confronted with these kinds of relationships, it's a safe bet that the older man has some issues around security and intimacy and control. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing. We all have our issues and most of us deserve to be happy. But that and the sex is why these relationships usually, though not always, come to be.

This situation is a bit unusual but if they are happy, who am I to say a word? For years, many (if not most) gay men lived miserable lives of solitude broken up only by a pickup or a one night stand. We can finally and easily be open and pursue relationships openly and honestly. More power to them. More power to anyone who finds love even if some of us don't approve. Fuck our approval. They have love, they have the most important thing in life. What does our opinion matter? My husband is 8 years older than I am and I have been told by some that he is too old for me. Fuck that.

Try harder r150 and yes it’s fair because they are both biological males and vice versa for women. Oh and a 5’2 boy is going to excel in gymnastics much more than a 6’5 boy. Even Renee Richards has said if she transitioned at 22 instead of 42 she would’ve wiped the floor on the WTA tour.

Why do you think that men and womens sports are divided by sex to begin with? Stop playing word salad.

Flo Jo’s questionable world record was established in 1988 and hasn’t been broken since. For men that time was the world record in 1929 and has been broken over and over again, and her 10.49 record in the 100m regularly gets smashed by elite/varsity high school boys every year.

I teach college freshmen and sophomores, and aside from sex, would be bored to death by them outside of bed.

R229 Funny you should mention that because that's where he's transferring to in the fall.

A fascinating and, I think, revealing like of a tweet from Tom's Twitter account. Though the two have seemingly broken up and Tom has since scrubbed his social media, I wonder if he's ever going to face legal consequences for preying on an underage boy?

Who's the underage boy he preyed upon, R232?

I wonder what the teens parent think. More than likely his boo is older than his parents. Super awkward. I would never disrespect my parents that way. Love is love however.

LOL Bump because I wanted to point out that the original article got deleted. Seems someone is nervous about a potential criminal investigation. Fortunately, it was saved in the wayback machine, in case anyone wants to read it.

I'm also going to copy and paste the original article here in case it gets scrubbed from the wayback machine.

Gay college soccer player Adam Burnett dreams of playing pro

Adam Burnett was an all-state high school player who came out as gay at 17. Two years later, he’s crazy in love with soccer and his boyfriend.

By Jim Buzinski Mar 5, 2020, 7:00am PST

Adam Burnett plays for Rockhurst University in Kansas City.

Being Out is a feature that looks at LGBTQ people in sports who have come out since Outsports first published in 1999. Today: Soccer player Adam Burnett.

It took a trip overseas to soccer-mad Europe to convince Adam Burnett to pursue a pro soccer career. And it took a serious injury to make him realize how much he loved the sport.

Burnett is a new breed of athlete who came out in high school and able to enter their collegiate careers without the extra burden of being in the closet.

Burnett came out as openly gay in 2018 while still a 17-year-old high school student in Missouri, where he was on the all-state list and helped his team to the state title.

Since then he has enrolled at Rockhurst University, a Division II school in Kansas City, whose coaches embraced his being out while recruiting him. He tore his ACL early in his freshman season and is redshirting and expects to play in his final four years of eligibility with designs of playing as a pro overseas.

On top of all of that, Burnett, 19, is happy in love with his boyfriend, Tom, a long-distance runner and triathlete who is 31 years older.

Here are Burnett’s answers to our Being Out questions.

What do you love the most about soccer?

It is my way to forget about anything going on in my life, a coping system. I love soccer, and my dream is to play professional soccer. I started and played every minute in the first five games of my college freshman season and had a free kick goal and two assists.

I then tore my ACL and am four months out of surgery. I go to physical therapy and work out with the team and on my own every day. I am already stronger than I was before and I will be even better once next season starts up. I will still be a freshman due to a medical redshirt and will be able to still have four years of eligibility. I promise I will work as hard as possible to make it to the next level.

What does it mean to you to be LGBTQ+ in sports?

I am a leader and love being an inspiration. I am openly gay and open about my relationship.

by Anonymousreply 243December 3, 2022 1:32 AM

I am dating a 50-year-old man and am happier than ever. My family, my friends, my coaches, my peers and my teammates know I am dating him and are happy for me and respect me for how brave I am. I don’t care who thinks it’s wrong. It is my life and I am happy.

What advice would you give to LGBTQ+ kids in athletics or who want to participate in athletics, the kind of advice the younger you wish you had heard?

If you are your true self and you are confident about it, then people will love you. Your true self is your best self.

Who is someone who inspires you?

Robbie Rogers, the first openly gay MLS player. He is someone I have looked up to once I came out of my junior year of high school, and after I read his book. I’d love to meet him since our lives growing up are very similar.

What are you passionate/excited about right now?

My grades. In high school I had really bad grades, making it almost impossible to get a full ride scholarship at a Division I school. In my first semester at Rockhurst I finished with a 3.8 GPA, and I am going to do just as well this semester.

I am also passionate about my boyfriend, Tom. I love him and care about him a lot. After we met, we went on a few runs together. We knew each other for a year before officially dating. That year it was a big challenge for us because the only reason we didn’t date was because of the fear we had of what others would think. But the love we have for each other beats all of that.

Tom has been a marathon and triathlon runner since he was in his mid-20s. His best marathon time is 2 hours and 55 minutes and he runs the Boston Marathon every year. He is in as good a shape as me and more than most people my age.

We are really good for each other because we push each other to be better. We can always count on each other, we have fun together and we understand that work, school and soccer come first. We balance each other out and he is a good mentor for me when I need advice.

What is your most memorable sports moment?

Going overseas to the Netherlands and Germany over the summer and playing club soccer was an amazing experience and hopefully I can play professionally overseas.

We also went to professional games and the crowds were insane. We were there for two weeks and it was one of the best times I have ever had. Training with other coaches overseas was a lot more challenging and you can tell how much more dedicated these athletes were.

Dedication, passion, talent and hard work are what you need to be successful and I believe I have it all.

Adam Burnett is a freshman at Rockhurst University in Kansas City majoring in Psychology and is a member of the men’s soccer team. He was born in Atlanta but moved to St. Louis when he was young and lived there until graduating from Parkway Central High School. After playing in college, he aspires to become a professional soccer player. He can be reached by email (burnetta8756@gmail.com) and Instagram (Adamburnett24).
