Why Gay Men Struggle to Find True Love (And Nobody Talks About Why)

The most romantic gay dating story I’ve heard all year involves a popped tire, a mechanic, and a 70-year-old man on his way to a first date.

This week on Sex Advice for Seniors, I sat down with Anthony Canapi, CEO of Best Man Matchmaking, the only US matchmaker working exclusively with gay men. He’s also a psychotherapist, which matters more than you’d think when the people coming to him are 60, 70, or even older.

Here’s what we cover:

  • Why so many older gay men quietly give up on love, and what changes their minds

  • The lasting weight of the AIDS crisis on how gay seniors date today

  • Why “younger men only” is often grief, not attraction

  • The math of dating apps that finally explains why everyone is exhausted

  • What you’re really paying for when you hire a matchmaker (yes, we talk money)

That 70-year-old? He nearly turned around when the tire blew. The mechanic talked him into keeping the date. He’s now married to the man he met that night.
