For the old gigolos
50 bullets of reason in the gun of self justification for your positions.

neo,
That blog piece, along with the comments, merely illustrates what we already know. Relationships with large age differences is a 'lightning rod' topic. It will draw fire and challenge and invective any time the topic arises.
While there are those who vehemently oppose such relationships - there are obviously an equal, or larger, number who support and engage in such relationships.
I think it gets back to the issue of personal choice. As an example, I have long promoted that my personal choice of transportation in Ukraine for relatively short trips (under 6 hours - about 400 km), is to use the Autolux (or equivalent) bus system. Others will argue vociferously that the overnight trains are the absolute ultimate in comfort and convenience. Who is "right"? Nobody. It is a matter of personal choice. I will offer my arguments and experiences in favor of buses - and someone else will offer their arguments and experiences in favor of trains. The reader is the one who gets the opportunity to decide for themselves which of the two positions is more valid FOR THEM.
Why is not the choice of a large age gap similar? There are pros and cons which have been debated ad nauseum here at RWD. Would you (the collective "you" - not meaning you personally neo) deny anyone the right to make a free choice?
BTW - I find most of your posts funny - while quite 'edgy' and right on the border of crossing a line into territory which is just a bit too 'sharp' to be productive. Your use of the term "old gigolos" is a pejorative term which some might find offensive - particularly since many of the guys here are married and not at all qualifying for the definition you imply.
