30 Years
Posted Jan 24, 2026 3:45PM UTC
Happy Anniversary! OlderGay.Men (and its earlier incarnations) turns 30 today. It's given me a sense of purpose over the years, and I hope to keep it going until it's an old man itself. 😀 I hope you're still enjoying it, too. I'll close the current poll Monday, so head there this weekend if you want to help us plan how to start our next decade together.

The photo above is a quick follow-up to my last post. Much tidier.So that's fixed — now what should we do? I want to start the year with a poll to set our direction for the coming year. I'll post be...
Spread The Word

We've created a poster that we'll be sending to LGBT centers and other places that older gay men frequent. If you can think of somewhere near you where it would be welcome, you can download and print a copy from:
Like we say there, we appreciate the help in getting the word out, but hope you'll find it also promotes your own self-interest. Mister Right may be walking past that bulletin board every week, just at a different time than you! Or at least some nearby guys who want to grab a coffee. 😀 Hope you're making great friends through this holiday season.

So the above is my bathroom. And my living room is more “open plan” than usual:A few weeks ago, the 70-year-old cast iron drain pipe under my house collapsed. Can’t complain that it was ready to ret...
🦸♂️ In Our Prime

A quick update since the shaky start of the month: We seem to have weathered the latest attacks on the site, and it's been responsive and reliable again. As always, let us know when your mileage var...
Omaha Farewell
Posted Oct 13, 2025 5:03PM UTC
I'm at the airport, heading home from the Prime Timers convention. It was great to see many of you there. As much as I enjoy interacting with everyone online, it's renewing to get to talk in person before heading home to days programming alone. I hope everyone had a great time and a safe trip home, and that we'll see many more of you in Palm Springs in 2027.
Back?

If you're a regular user of the site, you'll have seen that we were under attack again during the last couple of weeks. I've kept the site up as much as I could, but didn't want to make an announcement about it because every time I thought I could say we were back, another gear went flying off the machine. Today's the first day that everything’s gone smoothly. Thanks as always for your patience.
Glad to get this sorted before I head to Omaha Thursday. Hope I'll see some of you there!
