Trying to get a straight answer on gay men dating sites that verify user profiles without the marketing spin.

What worries me most is how many accounts are active. You can't really talk about gay men without talking about the actual outcomes.

If you have tried gay men dating sites that verify user profiles recently, I'd like to hear how it went.

Going to disagree with Chuck on this one. the part people underrate about gay men is whether it leads anywhere. How alive the pool is is what separates a good week from a wasted one with gay men. The actual outcomes is what separates a good week from a wasted one with gay men.

What decided it for me with gay men was the setup. The part people underrate about gay men is the fake-account issue.

Anyone got a counterexample on gay men?

My checklist for gay men:

  • allow a full month before deciding anything about gay men
  • leave a full month before deciding anything about gay men
  • keep one clear, current photo of your face on the gay men side
  • allow ten days before deciding anything about gay men

Hope that gives you something usable for gay men dating sites that verify user profiles.
