I am in a relationship with a 27 year old man and I am 51. You made some valid points I agree that the age difference should as you say "give it a go" I hope that what I bring to the table will make my partner stronger in his journey to my age. Communication is the key always speak you mind and always iron out any feelings either parties are having. I encourage any younger man out there to go ahead and love who you love. Most stereotypes are just that and most educated people will support your decision to date a older man
As the older one in an 18 year relationship, I'm 25 years older, beware! Everything was great for the first fifteen years and then it wasn't. He left with a younger guy and half my money. I really don't care about the cash , I have plenty, but I miss him. We still work together " I gave him 1/3rd of my business and it's hard. I'm now 72 and lonely, I thought it would be forever but With that kind of difference I guess it didn't have much of a chance. So guys really think about it before you enter in to this kind of relationship!
Hope you have found someone by now You sound like a lovely man reading your email i was sad for you wish I could help in some way wishing you a beautiful day 🌷
Man I'm just so thankful for your thoughtful advice and how level headed you are. It's so nice being able to look at you too at the same time, just wonderful.
Something I would advice the guy who asked the question is to be open about everything, but keep in mind that age doesn´t always bring matureness. I too feel attracted to guys in their thirties (me being 23) and not all of them are as mentally developed as you would hope. Awesome seeing your videos! I mean the youtube ones.... and the other ones too, what the hell lol. Hugs from Spain!
Marc Dylan I think Marc should focus more on being a life coach because he's gifted more so than the other business. I think he'd have a much bigger impact and can help more people doing this rather than porn. Money is definitely not everything and you can't take it with you, but LEGACY, that lives on forever!
Marc, thank you for this vlog. I am 52 and my partner of two years is 23, I am a strong believer of dating close to your age but this kid hounded me for a year before I agreed to meet for coffee. I grew up with my ex-husband of 22 years and I was not looking to raise a child (my mind set) or be someones sugar daddy and after being single for 6 years I did not expect to meet someone that would make me feel the way he does or love me the way he loves me. I thought we would not have anything to talk about or experience for the first time together, but I was wrong and this has turned out to be such a wonderful, growing experience for me and has changed my mind and life. When I started to date again and I looked for men my age or close to, I would get the "you're older than you look, I only date younger men or I'm looking for a daddy"...PLEASE DON"T CALL ME DADDY, lol. Although there are men that are out to get that 18 to 25 year old baby...I don't judge, but to all those men that think the way I use too please don't close the door to the possibility of dating a younger man. Marc I have been a fan sense you started your career and now a follower of your vlogs...keep up the great work. PS, sorry for the long ass comment.
What matters is the most is love and commitment plus sharing life long goals. Heath is no guarantee to any age and if you truly love someone no matter the age you should be willing to be there for them for better or worse.
I am 59 and have a six year relationship with a 27 year old. As I looked back, during my teens I also got attracted to mature men. In my 30's, got attracted with guys of my age. In my 50's, there is a shift of interest to younger men. My friends also experience the same, who knows? I t may be natural thing... But of course, love and respect always prevail!
Hi Marc, u r a very wise man! I think u r always so encouraging and thoughtful. Being a gay person and having someone like yourself helping other gay people with issues is so encouraging and positive. I appreciate your thoughtful responses to your viewers. Sam
I can't believe I'm watching these videos 8 years later. I'd wish you could keep doing more of these though. They helped me understand somethings I didn't do at the time. 😫
hI Marc my husband and i have been together for 17 years and he is 36 and i am 52 and we have been married for 11 years and yes we still love each other very much so i too beleive age differences can work
francis fox Amazing! This is an inspiration. I am in love with my 52 year old BF but I'm so unsure of how he feels of me (36 years old) He says one thing but I think the age diff bothers him. Your story though is proof positive that it can work!
When I was 22, I dated a guy who was 32. I was in college, and he had the life that I thought I wanted for myself: good job, nice home, money out the ass, fancy parties, nice vacations, etc.... I thought I loved him. But I've come to learn that I loved what he did for me rather than loving him for the person that he was.
When we say "relationship" do we mean as a couple who's going to ride to the sunset together? Or relationship as two people come together until whenever it ends? If the first, think twice. If the latter, go for it.
My BF just turned 25 and I'm a bit 'older' , chronologically, than him....we've found that we have virtually everything in common, and both of us are open to learning and changing. Sometimes he learns from me and sometimes I learn new things from him (we don't keep score). One key is, we both take excellent care of our bodies, through excellent nutrition and regular workouts at the gym. I'm still a 'youthful', young and driven professional man, just as hungry for success as I was in my 20's. We just bought an apartment together and now we're in the design phase together, as we're both designers. Life is meant to be good at ALL ages. And age really is just a number.....the number of times our bodies have revolved around the sun.
Everytime I listen to you marc it seems you have everything in the bag here is a question. If I was in a multiplutonic relatrelations but both are ok with it but the 3rd has some form of discomfort because the extra 2 wut should be done
Sound advice. I also prefer older. I'm 46 now and finding the compatibility with an older man easier than when I was in my 20s. I've always been an "old soul" and assumed an older man would be more mature than my chronological equals. With some distance, I realized the truth was that these men were far more IMMATURE and were attracted to younger men because they weren't grown up.
I was 28, he was 18. At 38 I was more or less the same person I was a 28, At 28 he was a very different person that he was at 18. We drifted apart. Lost common interests. We broke up. 15 years later I am still single. 3 months later he had a new partner.
Love your thinking. I'm looking for gainful employment after my small business went under through no fault of my own. Let me know if you need help with your line and business expansions. I love to travel and would love to promote and sell your brand. Thank you.
He might be a high class male escort/ Prostitute. Most of them usually travel to different city/ international and stay at these upscale hotel alone waiting for clients. ;)
As a teen I was attracted to older men now nearly 50 I like them younger, however, if Colten Ford ever decided to go British Id give it some thought lol
I don't know why you call a sugar daddy situation a dysfunctional dynamic. You are making a value judgement without even considering if the parties involved are satisfied and getting what they want from such a situation. I think a sugar daddy situation can be dysfunctional and it can also be completely healthy depending on the people engaged in the relationship and what they want from it. It's not a kind of relationship that is categorically dysfunctional as you imply.
I also prefer older guys, but I would never date an older guy. I want a guy to grow old at the same pace as my self. I want a nice fella, similar age, who's good to me! Who doesn't I guess lol x
Hi Marc. I have several very pertinent comments/questions for you on this very topic. Would you accept a friend request on Facebook/Messenger? I would feel more comfortable communicating that way. You have sound advice in this and your other videos and your efforts are appreciated. Thanks.
What is "age"? It's a number that, (due to its broad, collective social acceptance as a viable construct), defines the number of times a person has revolved around the sun. It's a number that allows people to judge, categorize and discriminate.
Hi Marc. I am from Philippines and I am 27 and I met an american guy who is 51here in the Philippines. We've met at the bar and agreed to meet again for his next visit here in the Philippines. That happened for his vacation here. We had sex and he really loved being a bottom but he claims he is straight and he doesn't want a relationship. I was surprised. And its fine for me. My question is how will I make to have a relationship with him and make him as a partner in life because we are both single?
your really asking for mental issues oscar. such guys you should run away from them, as fast as you can. Don't let fake security blind your judgement, for that guy will never take you seriously in any way,especially on matters that develop you.
Oscar Binay-o Let me make it simple. Go and force a straight guy into a relationship and see if it will work. Your in love with a closet, that calls himself hetero and thinks his hetero. So he thinks your wrong, you cant give birth, he cant be seen with you in public back at his home and your a sin. So forget him, his pure trouble for you and your life. Unless you think your a useless gay man and hate yourself, you think you deserve the worst treatment, go chase that disaster of a man.
You are being so stereotypical based on age and that's called ageism - one could argue that with the advent of drugs and other factors, younger people can have those same or even more complicated issues based on their vices and an older person could in fact be healthier and have more energy and motivations that are not age based...I agree with your feeling that it isn't a barrier, but careful on the generalizations - case by case takes care of that....
Frank, that’s a bit untethered to reality, medical statistics, and actuarial tables. You can make whatever argument you want about vices, drugs, or any other variable you like but statistically speaking someone in their 50s, 60s, 70s is more likely to have serious health issues than someone in their 20s and 30s. That fact isn’t up for debate, that’s why insurance companies who have volumes of data , increase the price of health and life insurance with age. Yes, there are always outliers but I was speaking generally not specifically. If I had all the details of a particular persons situation, I could speak to the exact concerns. Otherwise these types of issues have to be spoken of with a certain level generality.

Can you elaborate on how Sugar Daddy relationships are extremely disfunctional or tends to evade reality?
I was 28, he was 18. At 38 I was more or less the same person I was a 28, At 28 he was a very different person that he was at 18. We drifted apart. Lost common interests. We broke up. 15 years later I am still single. 3 months later he had a new partner.
R2Arts I am so sorry. Wish things had turned differently for you. Your story is very heartbreaking.
Marc i love yooooouuuuuu
Love your thinking. I'm looking for gainful employment after my small business went under through no fault of my own.
Let me know if you need help with your line and business expansions. I love to travel and would love to promote and sell your brand. Thank you.
You need better lighting a higher angle closeup and more smiling with your eyes and BAM you're good.
spot on officialomargomez!
Hi Marc why are you always traveling, did you ever consider settling down? With some guy!!!
Zeke Buf I travel because I want to, and I'm single my choice. I will consider it when it's something I want to do :)
He might be a high class male escort/ Prostitute. Most of them usually travel to different city/ international and stay at these upscale hotel alone waiting for clients. ;)

Who doesn't I guess lol x
Sad im single
I meant a good heart
Hi Marc. I have several very pertinent comments/questions for you on this very topic. Would you accept a friend request on Facebook/Messenger? I would feel more comfortable communicating that way. You have sound advice in this and your other videos and your efforts are appreciated. Thanks.
You could also reach me @ jffrpounds151@gmail.com.
I am 50, and I would play with younger guys, but I cannot see myself connecting with anyone younger than 35.
I have had experiences with guys in their 60s and one who was 70, but It didn't excite me.
Would you mind telling me why? I'm 22 and thinking of being with a 43 year old, so any advice would be appreciated
What is "age"? It's a number that, (due to its broad, collective social acceptance as a viable construct), defines the number of times a person has revolved around the sun. It's a number that allows people to judge, categorize and discriminate.
hello Marc.... you are doing an amazing job, keep it up!! if it's not too much to ask,can I get your email address???
Have you experienced dating an older gay men?
Hi Marc.

I think a 50 year old dating a 19 year old is being predatory but that's just me.
How is it predatory? If the relationship is mutually consensual, then no one has a right to judge.
