Don’t knowWhy older if I may ask? If you are looking for sex, not that there's anything wrong with older guys whatsoever, what makes you not seek around your own age?
Yeah, you shouldn't have any problems. When I was your age I did the same and it's easy.Like 30+
I wishYeah, you shouldn't have any problems. When I was your age I did the same and it's easy.
The most annoying thing will be guys not taking no as an answer.
That can be difficult.Thanks Skylar. I’d find it hard not to seem desperate lol
I meant to get chatting to them online. This is a form of sieving through the trash.Yeah? I don’t have any gay friends though
Speaking as someone whose age is 56 and that makes about 90% of the people on Grindr & Scruff younger than me, here is some advice I would give you, from my perspective
1) Be mature - I tend to dismiss the 18 - 21 age, in general, as that we probably don't have anything in common. 21 + I tend to generalize that at least they've been to college, or are holding a job, or maybe in the military (all things that I did). There is nothing wrong with being young and starting out but, for me, you have a higher standard to meet, for me.
2) Don't come across as desperate. Nothing (to me) wreaks more of immaturity than desperation. Sadly, I meet/talk with guys my own age that come across that way.
3) Find some common ground where you can chat and talk and get to know each other better.
4) Be very careful - There are a lot of guys out there that are looking to take advantage of others and the younger and "newer" they are, they easier it will be for them. Meet in public, first. If you have a best friend/someone you can trust (not sure if you are out or not) let them know who you are meeting with and when and where.
5) Don't let anyone, and I mean ANYONE, EVER, talk you into doing something you don't want to do or makes you uncomfortable. The most powerful thing you can learn, right now, is to say this: NO! The second most powerful thing you can learn is this: Walk away and don't look back and don't let them into your life again.
6) Know what you want and don't compromise - Right now, you know you want age 30 +, that's fine. But that's the age. What kind of person would make you feel more comfortable? What kind of person is it that you seek? This doesn't mean ignore anyone who isn't 30 +, you do need to get out and meet people. Just know what you want and don't compromise.
I'm not sure if this was the type of answer you were looking for. Perhaps some of the others on here can give you advice from their perspective and experience.
Keep us informed on your progress, Please.

Sounds idealCompletely agree with Sklar!
I have also enjoyed being with older guys, and the more enjoyable times were with those I had some connection with, at least before I felt comfortable enough to have more one off encounters. I was fortunate to have some older guys who became 'mentors' for me which was really helpful to discover interests and kinks (some even shared me with their mates which was a lot of fun!!).
Mate I am older and enjoy younger guys, and i know plenty younger guys who enjoy older... just need a bit of trustI thought older men wouldn’t give me the time of day.
Agree make the first move, I would not make a first move being older for a younger guy... on dating app you can make it know you have a preference for a mature guy or an age range etc..I had the same problem when I was 18, looking back I think most of the old guys thought I would not be interested in them. Don't be afraid to make the first move or let them know bluntly that you are interested.
