Finding Same Sex Singles Online
It’s been hard for me to find a date in a town as small as mine. There aren’t many single men in general, but trying to find a single man looking for another single man is almost impossible. Is trying to find gays online as hard as it is in everyday life?

Well Eric, not only is gay dating on the rise, but almost 30 per cent of online daters are looking for same sex partners!
It’s hard for anyone in a small town to find love. You don’t have the same opportunities to meet other singles, simply because the numbers aren’t there. The good news is that you do have alternative ways of meeting people to connect with, like with online personals.
The most important thing to remember when you’re trying to find your match online is to choose the right community. A lot of online gay communities are targeted towards men looking for sex personals, not those looking for real relationships. You need to put time into researching what dating site you want to join. Ask other gay friends, family members or co-workers which websites they’ve explored to find a match. Chances are they’ve explored the internet to meet people before, so they’ll be able to tell you if there’s websites that are a waste of your time, or worth your time.
If you compare the number of registered men in gay online dating sites from the city of New York and the census forms from the year 2011, you’ll see that there’s more men looking for gay dating online than there are registered through the census. What does that mean? That there’s more people gay online than those who are gay on paper. A lot of people who are closeted turn to the internet to find dates when they’re not yet ready to come out, because it’s more discrete than searching a local bar for a hookup. Even when people aren’t ready to come out to the public, they’re still looking online.
There’s plenty of opportunity to meet gay men online! Choose a site that’s targeted specifically towards homosexuals, and you’ll have no problem finding a date!
