You are 43, so yeah you are surrounded by the young crowd. Many 40+ year old just don't do the scene becoming exhausted by the same old pick-up lines and tired sexual exploits, so most turn away fro the bar/club scene.
Unfortunately those who stick around tend to be a little to aggressively seeking 'young'.
As for body image, you need to go to bear clubs - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_%28gay_culture%29
Where hair and extra padding is appreciated by the discerning gay male.
I suspect you are going to the youth-clubs where twinks and jocks hang out, thus are missing out on the 'real men' who flock elsewhere.
Leather clubs also tend to have more mature and real men (body hair, padding, beards - you know, men.)
Gays tend to be heavily segregated in the big cities where there are a lot of specialized clubs/bars that specialize in tastes. Rural and one bar towns tend to be more homogenized and mixed.
