As a gay man in his fifties, probably about the same age as the poster here, I'm going to be a little kinder. I remember having the same fear of HIV/AIDS back then because it was, at the time, pretty much a death sentence. I'd be lying if I said living through that time didn't leave its mark on me. And, yes, some gay men do engage in a lot of sex. Guilty as charged. We're men. I understand what John Rechy meant when he coined the word 'sexhunt.'

That said, I don't think this person's chances are very good, knowing my own demographic. I know what men look for in 50-something gay men, and many gay men my age are not interested in FTMs. Older FTMs are also less likely to have what some younger gay men into older gay men are looking for.

So, I'd say don't get your hopes up . . .
