[quote=Anonymous]I'm going to sound like a jerk sister, so let me start by saying my brother and I are close it's just the two of us. I was the first person he came out to and supported him to our  very Catholic family.
My brother has not dated much he is very introverted tends to mostly work and keep to himself, but has  had a few relationships.
He's been seeing someone since the end of summer, and tonight I finally met him.He did seem like a nice guy, a little awkward and unpolished but nice.
I  do  have my concerns.
1. There is a 10 year age difference. My brother is 42 and the boyfriend is 32.
2. There is a noticeable difference in looks. My brother is very overweight, thinning hair etc and the boyfriend is not. I'm no supermodel myself. I could stand to lose weight, but my DH and I are physically a match.
3. My brother is more educated than his boyfriend. Significantly so, and is also financially successful think  6 figures.
From what my brother has told me about  the boyfriend he has a "colorful" past,and  I'm  worried he might be using my brother, as I said my brother doesn't have a ton of dating experience.
The boyfriend didn't say anything that jumped out as a red flag just a feeling.

Anyway, he just text me asking what I thought of him. I told him that I thought he was very nice and thanked him for having me and DH over. Was I right to keep my concerns to myself?
