"I mean, are there some good looking young gay guys with no money who expect wealthier
older gay men to provide for them?"

YES!!!!! All the time.

I spent several summers on Fire Island in the 80s and would stroll the beach to Cherry Grove and the Pines. On beach chairs in bathing suits it was easy to distinguish the boytoys and their older patrons who owned the beach houses.

I've often wondered whether a single man is lonelier if he is old poor and straight or old poor and gay.
