You can also meet gay men doing volunteer work. Most communities have service organizations for the gay community. So, not only will you meet men who have similar interests, you'll be helping your community as well.
Don't know who needs to hear this, but you can have a wonderful, monogamous relationship with one man folks. Hook-up culture is sucking everyone's heart into a vortex. Trust me, once you experience true love with a person for a long time, you'll never go back to casual/ one-night-stands again. Good luck guys. You're all so amazing and beautiful🥰😘
Not everyone can. That's all I want. I have physical and mental health problems, and nobody wants anything to do with me. I'm 41, have a background of trauma since childhood, including rape and abuse, I contracted HIV from a rape 12 years ago. I've had depression and anxiety since childhood, and have major problems with my teeth from bulimia, which people find disgusting when they find out, and it can't be fixed. Gay men are shallow. Most men won't accept me because of my HIV, the people with HIV won't accept me because of my mouth. I've tried and tried, and can no longer be rejected. I'm kind and decent, and am good company, and that means I'm lucky enough to have friends. But I will never have a relationship, and I don't want to carry on in such misery. It's not true that there is someone for everyone. I will die alone.
Been there and done that and it’s not for me. People aren’t cookie cutter things that all want or do the same things. It might be what you want, but it’s not what everyone wants or needs.
@@phily8093 Sorry to hear about your story, I can't imagine what you're going through. Loneliness kills a lot of people every year. I hope you can overcome the loneliness.
What if the type of guy you like is a normal guy who just likes to chill at home and isn't obsessed with bars, or clubs or social media? I have chronic fatigue and I can't keep up with a high maintenance man who always wants to go out.
I`ve had chronic fatigue for 15 years. Went on a full carnivore diet .6 weeks into it my life turned around......100% improvement......I slowly start adding veggies, then fruit in moderation....,the moment I add sugar or carbs I know that I know.....don`t do this again. Maybe this will help ?
More or less in the same train, I'm in the autism spectrum and I have somehow less tolerance to social interaction, and the vast majority of gay men is of the partying kind
I met my last bf on scruff, it was just something casual that turned serious. We lasted over two years, but at the time I wasn’t very good at maintaining relationships so we split up. I met a lot of guys in the meatpacking district at brunches, on the roof at the Ganesvoort in New York City. I met people at museums, art shows, I even took a cooking course once and met a guy. You have to be out there to meet someone, no one does guy deliveries…well I mean they do, but that’s an entirely different conversation.
I met a ton of awesome gay men when I joined the gay men chorus here in MN. It’s a breath of fresh air knowing that when I met these people it’s not about sex or things like that. I’d recommend joining any LGBTQ focus groups in your community.
This is very true. I've joined local LGBTQ meetup groups and it is a great way to meet new friends in your area. The vast majority of people I've met through these groups are great and are also just out to meet other local gays in the area in a safe, non-sketchy environment.
Tommy, you gave lots of great suggestions. I used to be part of a group here in Chicago where twice a month you would meet a differet group and go to dinner at a local restaurant. The thought was that no one was paired up in advance so it made it more relaxing and a lttle less intimidating. I met friends through this and had alot of fun. It was great getting to meet a different group of guys twice a month. The organizers disbanded the idea after a while but I thought it was a great way to meet guys.
The world is changing man. Just dating sites are now changing to video dating sites where verification is based on videos and profile photos. Try meetfems.com - actual video dating sites based on all orientations (gays, lesbian and straight) where chances of fake profiles are less. Here you can find actual gays via video chat. Try if u want
I hope you find all the love you need and deserve. All the best to you. When you get older, this stuff is nothing I am willing to try anymore. It isn't the end of life. I meet men one on one in clean, respectable public places. I don't need to be in a gay crowd anymore, and ironically, it has been very freeing. Your young and handsome, so I hope the best for you.
ok let’s say i go to a gay bar. i’m not outgoing enough just to talk to complete strangers! if i see someone i like i just get intimidated. in the past when ive gone i usually just end up talking to women who happen to be there. it’s frustrating cuz i know im only holding myself back.
Only dating was never for me, but I started to think it would be the only way to get a boyfriend. Thanks to this video, I now know other ways to possibly meet mr.right.
I’m like I live outside of New York, but the thing is I don’t know how to approach guys. I’m like I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to flirt. I’m on the spectrum. I don’t know what to say.
Thank you. It’s though looking for a life partner. I’m just not into one time hookups. I look in the mirror and where does the time go. Still looking for love.
Kudos !! for this video ! It's full of really good ideas ... As a much much oldere gay man I would also add Libraries in general ! are a good place to not only check out excellent Reading materials...but to meet other gay men. Why> Because gay men Read more than many men do !! lol Your tip on University and colleges groups is also excellent. You often DO want to meet up with other genuinely intelligent people, after all !
The thing I have found out with the apps,if your just looking for friends all you get is unwanted d/pics and it’s all about hook ups.some of us really do just want to meet friends
My problème is, everytime I try chatting with a guy, they always think I'm not interested in them. Like I don't want to be your friend I want to date you. How's that hard to understand...
I have a question. I am gay , I am 49 and I like younger guys , so this is my question, when I see a guy I like what’s the best approach to let him know I am gay , and how do I bring up to ask him if he is gay without no confrontation, this the only thing I am struggling with , I love ur channel
I've almost fallen off social media entirely. Have come to see it as a corrupt mechanism. Spending time w face to face mates & dogs is the best However, w/o these platforms we would not have 'met' Cuts both ways, eh? You are best BTW Thank you 💜🌈
Hi beautiful people on the other side of the world. Been working in Saudi Arabia for 5 yrs now. I hope I can find someone from Europe or in America whose gaymen are safe and accepted. Greetings from Filipino in KSA
I don't see the topic here so I'll bring it up. It's called AGEISM. At your age you probably have never experienced that and with your handsome looks, I seriously doubt you have a emotional concept of this fact within the Gay culture. Unfortunately AGEISM is a fact of life. I first experienced this at age 27. I thought I was hot, sexy and cute at age 27, but NOT to all thought so! I was 'getting up there' in age. Yes. Seriously. So the first problem in relationships is trying to get over that prejudice. Mostly impossible though. Ever notice all the attractive SINGLE men out there that seem to always be running through men like toilet paper? Relationships are hard because men are not taught how to connect emotionally with other men. They can have sex, but lack emotional availability. Look Thomas. You're young. Very good looking with model-like looks. But you won't have it forever. Looks fade even with the best care. The 'youthful and hot model look' starts fading after 30. Then what? The time to begin questioning needs and wants begins in the early 20's. Successful relationships take honestly and hard work.
Babe but when you live in a small town like me i live in Darlington,sc and im 44 and been hunting forever for my prince charming and the one im gonna spend the rest of my life with xoxoxxo
@@AaronSebastian-w1t What are you unable to text me or something baby so we can talk quickier? I was hoping i was talking to my prince charming, 🥲😟It's ok baby i didnt think i could get that lucky anyway. I done told you Im in South Carolina and im 43. I can take a hint i'll leave you be baby 😞😞
Tommy, I'm a mature man in Wisconsin. I moved here five years ago from L.A. I was shocked to learn that the Gay community here (MKE) is mostly younger people. I still don't have a Gay friend here. Thanks for your tips.
This is one “how to” I’m sure you have skills. Because you are too fine for those mangy gays to ignore. Serious beans. I don’t do apps. Don’t trust them. I do chat sometimes on apps, but no meet ups. Possible someday, but slim chance. Mostly because I might be coming off the market if you get it. Fingers crossed.

But once you are at the gym, how do you know which guys are straight? I have been going regularly to the gym for 10 years and I still can't find someone there!!!
The issue now is, that more radical people who represent queer culture somehow pretend that queer dating is morally above heterosexual dating. In reality however is, that queer people are more material and more obsessed with sex and sexuality than even 'straight' people.
ALTHOUGH I LOVE WOMEN, I LOVE AND PREFER TO BE WITH AND HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH GAY AND BI-SEXUAL MALES. I'VE BEEN HAVING ALL KINDS AND TYPES OF SEX WITH GAY&BI-SEXUAL BLACK AND WHITE MALES SINCE I WAS VERY VERY YOUNG.
