Message Preferences and Favorites
Posted Mar 12, 2026 4:28PM UTC
Two small updates:
On https://oldergay.men/settings, you'll find two new options, to decline messages from members who don't have a location or don't have a profile text. (If they try to write you, they'll get an explanation and a link to fill them in before they try again.)
On https://oldergay.men/images and https://oldergay.men/users, if you have favorite images or people you follow, you'll find a "Favorites" button to get to them quickly.
Hope this helps with corralling your inbox and enjoying what you love to see each day. 🙂

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.

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.

Omaha Farewell

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.
