Never in all the years of Gaydom has the older man been so sought after. But with an ever growing population of older gay men and a relatively small pool of Daddy Hunters, it’s more important than ever for the older man to keep fit, and more importantly to keep relevant for the younger generation.

Now, for the important choice to make. Are you going to be a Hot Daddy or a Sugar Daddy. What is the difference between the two?

Daddy Hunters go for Hot Daddies because they are hot. These guys are normally hot younger men who like fit older men. Hunters who go for Sugar Daddies are often hot and after cash and gifts in exchange for sex. These Hunters are essentially the same as rent boys.

I took the hard route and have become a Hot Daddy and it’s the best thing I ever did! Sex with hot young men, a ridiculously increased libido and a new vigour for life… I so wish I turned 50 years ago! So, here are my ‘Top 15 Tips’ for becoming a Hot Daddy and staying relevant in your 50’s:

1. GYM, GYM, GYM!
As a Hot Daddy, your first port of call every day should be the gym. Make it part of your daily routine. Look at it as a part time job that doesn’t pay well but saves you a fortune in rent boys. The better your body looks the higher up the chain you go leaving all the other Daddies in the dust (only the body is important as the face can be covered with a hood or mask). If you can fit workouts in morning and night, even better. As a single gay man, it’s not like we have loads to do and recently, gym-ing it has become the new going out. I see more people I know in the gym than I do in a bar these days.

2. Shoulders Are The New Abs:
Abs are too much bloody hard work. Eating cake is way less work. So, I eat cake and hide the abs under it (think dad-bod or bear). Hunters like to see big powerful shoulders, arms and pecs. A bit of gut is considered
hot these days. Good form while training will keep your abs and core strong. Cardiovascular exercise is great for keeping your insides healthy, but realistically, who really ever gets to see your insides. I skip cardio in favour of a cake and a good nap after I train.

3. No Style Is Good Style:
Men in their 50’s need to be careful while dressing. Too trendy and you look like mutton dressed as lizard. Too conservative and you look like a grandpa. Anything retro or vintage will age a Daddy. Plain t-shirts and cargo trousers or shorts are ideal. Timeless clothes add to your ageless appeal. Formal wear should be done similarly. A Brioni suit makes an older man look refined and sophisticated. Vivien Westwood on an Daddy makes him look like…. well, Vivienne Westwood (would you shag the male equivalent?).

4. Short Hair:
Short hair is a must for all Daddies. It takes years off your face (even when sporting a beard) and hides the multitude of grey hair you will have by now. Furthermore , for God’s sake, don’t dye your hair or shape your eyebrows. Dyed hair on Daddies always looks fake and shaped eyebrows don’t even look good on women, never mind an older man!!!

5. Read The News And Be Informed:
Read the news voraciously. It is important to give Hunters the impression that you are very well informed and articulate (even if your not). A Hunter who thinks his Daddy is on the ball is a Hunter who will be less likely to try and rip his Daddy off.

6. Keep Up With The Latest Dance Music:
It is imperative to keep up with the latest in gay dance music. Podcasts from the best gay DJ’s can be downloaded free on the Internet and are essential for setting the mood for glove (a Hot Daddy makes glove not love). Avoid indie or alternative vibes as it looks like you are trying too hard. You know the best impression has been made when a guy half your age asks where you got your tunes from. If you can’t dance very well, make sure your Hunter NEVER sees you try. Blame it on an old football or head injury, but never let them see their Daddy has no rhythm.

7. Surround Yourself With Gorgeous Young Men:
Straight or gay, surround yourself with gorgeous young men. Hunters will assume there is something really special about you if all your friends are young and hot. They will be very unlikely to chat you up in a group as you will be very intimidating. But, the second they see you online, the anonymity of it gives the Hunter courage to ask if you were just at ‘The Bar’. IMPORTANT: Never hit on hot young straight friends as they will not hang out anymore and you won’t be able to use them as Hunter bait. Your new motto should be ‘If I can’t sleep with them, be seen with them’.

8. Steroids And Hormones:
Tricky one here. A 50 year old man functions on about 40% less testosterone than when he was 30 yrs old. Women go on HRT in their 50’s when their estrogen levels drop. Why shouldn’t a Hot Daddy do the same? In my mind, it’s a small investment for my continued super hot sex life, no Viagra required. Later in life, all this work will pay off and help to ensure that as a single gay man, I will have the strength to care for myself in my old age and be able to take Viagra when I really need it.

There are some who do not advise the use of steroids for gym workouts (these people normally look awful) and there are some who do recommend using steroids for working out (these people normally look amazing). Daddies need to make well informed choices on their own. Hot Daddies normally make the right choice. You should always take supplements as recommended, inform your doctor, avoid if there is a family history of prostate issues and immediately lower the dose if any discomfort is experienced.

Growth hormone is completely different to steroids. Derived originally from cadavers and aborted foetuses (anything made from babies has got to be good for you) it is now only synthetically produced in the UK due to CJD. Growth hormones promote quicker healing and recovery, increased bone density, increased muscle mass, fat reduction and most importantly NEW SKIN! Your skin takes on a healthy and fresher appearance. Wrongly promoted in the 80’s as the new age reversal product, Growth Hormone certainly does rejuvenate the skin. Personal story of mine: In march of this year after 4 weeks on Growth Hormone, a 24 yr old I had just made glove to commented on how shocked he was to discover I was 50. He though I was a 40 yr old who smoked and drank a lot. Two months later someone I hit on told me I looked 40 (I didn’t get laid tho) and a further two months later I was described by a very drunk person as looking 30-40 yrs old. I guesstimate I look 34-36 and that equates to 15 years younger in five months. The stuff is amazing!!

9. Latest Lingo For 30 yr Old Crowd.
Slang is an important tool for the Hot Daddy. Use it correctly and you can take 10 years off your age. Use slang sparingly and never use phrases popular with the under 25 yr olds, because a Hot Daddy will never look young enough to get away with it.

10. Lighting:
Lighting is not a Hot Daddy’s friend. Avoid up lighting from below and down lighting from above. Both cast shadows into what’s left of the wrinkles we have painstakingly tried to erase. Table lamps offer the best advantage for the Hot Daddy as light enters into the wrinkle horizontally erasing any shadows. Women’s makeup contains small reflective particles to disperse light into the shadowed wrinkles. HOT DADDIES NEVER USE SUCH PRODUCTS AS DADDY HUNTERS RUN LIKE HELL WHEN THEY SEE AN OLDER MAN IN MAKEUP. You may as well just tattoo desperate old queen on your face as it will better distract from any wrinkles than the mandation smeared all over the pillow cases. Preparation H should always be on hand for first hook ups. Rub a bit under your eyes to shrink up eye bags in minutes. Not too much as eyes can retain a ‘starfish’ type pucker (think rectum eyes).

11. Home Decor:
What you have in your home reflects who you are as a Daddy. Throw everything out and start from scratch. Think sleek clean lines, neutral tones, wipe clean black leather and velvet or plush cushions. Wipe clean leather for obvious reasons and plusher fabrics as any ‘stuff’ can be brushed or flaked off bringing the fabrics back to good condition. Curate any photos or mementos to ensure they show a Daddy in the best athletic or intellectual light. You want your Hunters to say ”Ohhhhh’ and not ‘Ewwwww’.

If you are going to use rug or carpet, go black or dark brown as these colours hide ‘drippage’ and ‘splube’. Essentially, anything white is not a friend in the homosexual bedroom. NO FAKE FLORAL DISPLAYS! Ur a Hot Daddy not a Hot Granny. If u want flowers in the house get cut lily’s weekly or get a flowering plant (gardenia is idea).

12. Jewellery:
A Sugar Daddy wears all of the jewellery he owns at any given time to show his wealth. A Hot Daddy doesn’t have to wear all of his jewellery. Why? CUZ HE IS HOT! If you do wear jewellery, take advice from the legendary Chanel. Put on everything you own, then take it all off and put on a necklace made from hardware chain and throw on a leather wrist cuff. And for God’s sake, never, ever gold nipple rings with diamond stoppers. I saw that once on an old guy and spit up in my own mouth.

13. Positions:
Daddies lay on their back as much as possible or hold their head up high. Skin follows the rules of gravity and slips back and droops forward. Enough said.

14. Hygiene And Teeth:
The trend among Daddies these days is no perfumes or powders. Hunters like their Daddies to look and smell like men, not women. The smell of a good soap is much more attractive than a flowery queen. Bears are in, so Daddies never shave their chests unless their natural chest hair pattern is unattractive. Bleached ultra white teeth on Daddies looks unsightly and off-putting. Bleaching should be kept to a natural tone about 3 shades down the card. As we get older, we tent do get spaces between our teeth. A Hot Daddy always caries a toothpick in his wallet to give a good tooth tidy after a meal or snack. Try getting crisps outta your teeth without one before going down.

15. Secrecy:
Don’t tell too many friends what your doing to look so amazing as they will want to get in on the action. We are doing all this to get rid of the competition, not help them out!

My online Gay Cruising handle and persona is called Trunch. I have worked in the Gay sex bars and clubs in the south UK as Security for 15 years. Part of my job description, believe it or not, is to be revered (fetish bars love dodgy looking doormen). Similarly to hairdressers and bartenders, I am doling out advice nightly to insecure customers on how to improve their chances of getting some action in the bar; how to set up their online profiles in such a way that an average looking man can be made to look very exciting; and then to inject some confidence into them. All of the advice given is how I genuinely lead my very successful Gay lifestyle and has worked a charm for a multitude of insecure behind the times men and turned their social lives around. I can even provide you with photographic evidence of myself hanging out with my super hot young male friends =)

I had worked also as a couture fashion designer for 30 years where my impeccable taste brought me international recognition. As I sew professionally, I also dabble in interior design.
