Yes. The chances are the same. The pool of available suitors is much smaller for the gay man, though.

I fully agree with you, JWBrothers.

Jess1963, two of my best friends are gay. Years ago, when they were 46 and 52, each found their life partners when they least expected it. The two couples are very happy since; we are very happy with them and for them and with our two new "friends-in-law" as I call them.

So, please, Jess1963, keep being patient, positive and in a good mood. I am sure, one day, when you least expect it, you will find the right partner for you as well.

I wish you the very best and good luck. :)

I think the chances for the gay man are smaller. But that is just speculation, I have not seen any actual statistics on it.

Now I don't know if you ask the question because you are wondering about your own chances to find someone special?

As a 40 year old single gay men who belongs to several other minority groups as well I do sometimes wonder when my prince will come along and if these facts have a negative influence. But comparing myself to other groups in this respect I find not at all productive. It only helps to depress me when I have to conclude my chances are smaller. There is no point in it either for I can't turn myself into a young attractive straight woman overnight.

Life simply isn't fair when it comes to these matters that is a fact. So instead of looking at those who are in a better position I think it is best to focus on your own sitiuation and seize whatever opportunities you do have. Good luck! Oh and even if you have the statistics against you it does not mean it is impossible...

if he looks like you! - no problem at all! assuming no issues, of course.
