Typical Gay Relationship 3

Moving on to part 3 of my series. I'm gonna move the age of the main character up. That means, we're looking at someone who is older in this post.

----------------------------------------------

Let's start with Joe who was 35 years old in this story. Being in the gay scene for more than 15 years he has lived past all the shallow moments of just enjoying life as it goes and getting casual sex from random strangers. He longed for someone who will be with him. He wished to settle down with someone who he can spend his life with.

The strange thing was he still wished that his other half would be a twink. Just in case you aren't familiar with the term, twink refers to young, smooth and lean guys. Well, in this case, it refers to someone young. Yes, humans can be quite selfish sometimes. He is no longer as attractive as he used to be. The working hours he put up for his company took a toll on him and so did the happy hours he had to spend with clients drinking empty calories didn't help to maintain his waistline too. To make it short, Joe looked spent and has a noticeable beer belly.

But with his sacrifices to his looks, he had gain pretty much in terms of his wealth. Holding a very senior position in his company, he was paid rather well monthly. He's a typical gay man in his age which meant he was freaking loaded.

Reason? You don't have to worry about kids nor parents. You don't need to save for their future (imagine the mouths you'll be feeding, school, colleges and stuffs) and your parents probably disowned you when they found out you were gay. Of course, Joe's parents didn't disown him but he cared less for them nevertheless as it was clear that his parents gave him the same treatment ever since he decided to be honest with them about his sexuality.

Being a gay guy in his mid thirties ain't easy, especially if your looks had gone down the drain. What helped was his wallet but the last thing Joe would want is some moneyboy draining his wallet dry and leaving him after that. After all, money was all he was left with to stay 'attractive' in the gay scene.

The Internet and the gay clubs were still the places for Joe to try his luck to find his other half. Of course, he was not who he used to be, he couldn't just casually walk up to any cuties he saw and ask if he would like to fuck. He had to resort to small talks for opening. And usually these small talks will lead to either rude rejections or direct enquiry on how much would Joe pay. Of course, neither of them would be the answer Joe was looking for but he would consider to reply the second one if the guy is superbly cute.

Once in a blue moon, Joe would find a guy accepting his advances. There was this evening that Joe got acquainted with Nathan who was 18 through Facebook. Joe has been chatting with Nathan for quite awhile and Nathan seemed like he was okay to befriend Joe, not minding the age gap. Eventually Joe asked Nathan out for dinner which he offered to buy. Nathan agreed and so they arranged for a meet up.


Wanting to impress his date, Joe put on his latest Armani collection and drove his humble 3 series Beemer to pick Nathan up from his college hostel in PJ. Nathan looked cute just like in his photos when Joe picked him up......

Okay, I think I can't do this slow pace narration/story telling anymore. I'm gonna cut to the chase.

-------------------

Joe bought Nathan a dinner at Frangipani, one of the classiest restaurants in town, Gold Class tickets followed up by champagne at bar. By the end of everything, Joe was in 'love' with Nathan as he was so charming and attentive. So the next regular thing happened - Joe scored.


After that night, Joe shared with Nathan that he was in love with him and wanted to be with him. Nathan accepted and so they started their relationship. Joe thought Nathan was going to be his lifelong companion till..

His regular gift showers weren't sufficient till Nathan specifically asked for what gifts he would like to have each month. Nathan had even asked for a supplementary credit card which he justified that he needed it as his parents stopped giving him money to use. Joe tolerated it as his love for the boy was deep. He knew something was wrong but he loved him very much to cut off the ties till the day he found out Nathan tried to make a purchase for an LV bag which cost RM8,000.

That moment onwards, he knew he had to do the right thing and cut off their relationship. Nathan was obviously making use of him, in this case his wealth and he couldn't take it anymore.

The relationship ended, and Joe was back at square one again, looking for his life companion....

---------------------------

Pretty tragic, ain't it? This is what happens to gays who are in the older range and still single mostly. This might not be the case but seriously.. when you no longer have the looks and only money, you're bound to be exploited by the young twinks. Of course, there are also various tales of young twinks getting exploited by cleverer 'wiser' gay men but that would be another day's tale for me to share.

Just a curious question from me, do you think Joe did the right thing by breaking up with Nathan? Is a wealth trade with youthful companionship worth the deal? What is your point of view generally in an older man dating a younger man (gay)?

Please bear in mind that one day you'll be old as well and if you're given a choice to date younger or old guys like yourself, what would be your choice?

Do share.
