Concretely, for gay dating:

  • keep the first message to two or three lines if gay dating is the goal
  • give it at least a week before deciding anything about gay dating

I would put whether it's worth paying for above almost everything else when it comes to gay dating. Once I stopped worrying about how many people are actually near you, gay dating got a lot simpler. In practice, gay dating lives or dies on how alive the pool is.

the Datescout approach is the one I keep going back to for gay dating.
