With Gay.com, the domain name says it all! Whether you're an out-and-out gay or whether you're just dipping your toe in the water, Gay.com has something for everyone. It's much more than just a gay dating site, Gay.com brings you a whole online gay community with its various channels, including the latest news and entertainment gossip all written and compiled for gay men by gay men. It also gives you access to MenAfterDark.com, a pay-per-view gay porn site, allowing you to download pictures and movies. From an online dating point of view, you can use Gay.com to find yourself both a sex-buddy, as well as a more meaningful online relationship - Gay.com has members looking for both.
The thing we liked most about IWantUGay.com was the fact that it's essentially three websites in one, comprising the following:
An Adult Gay Club
A Gay Dating Club
A Gay Alternative Club
The great thing about IWantU is that you don't have to decide which one of these clubs you want to join - just sign up once (which is free for standard members) and you'll automatically become a member of all three!
With over 1.5 million members and counting, OutPersonals.com is one of the largest and raunchiest gay dating sites around. And it's not limited to out and out gay men either, the site is filled with bisexual men and men who are simply curious, many of whom may have girlfriends or are even married. The site isn't even limited to men, it has it's fair share of transexuals, groups and bi couples (a woman with a bisexual male partner). So whether you're gay, bi, curious, looking to hook up with a TS/TV/TG or simply like to walk on the wild side, OutPersonals may have just what you're looking for!
Gay.Date.com is part of the hugely popular and famous mainstream straight dating site, Date.com, and as such it has all the same great features. As a reputable and long-running site, Gay.Date.com has a huge members' database and excellent technical support. Gay.Date.com is geared towards men who are looking for serious long-term relationships only.
Gay.Date.com has all the features you would expect in a dating site except for the ability for free members to reply to emails they're sent.
You can think of GayFriendFinder as the PG-rated version of our top-rated gay dating site, OutPersonals.com. Like OutPersonals.com, GayFriendFinder is also from the makers of AdultFriendFinder.com, and so it has the same navigational structure and all the same great features as OutPersonals (making the features list above for GayFriendFinder very similar to that of OutPersonals). However, whereas OutPersonals is more geared towards sex, GayFriendFinder is more geared towards serious relationships...
GCruise.com has all the features you would expect in a gay dating site (internal e-mail, chat rooms, instant messaging, etc.) as well as some fairly advanced features, including video chat and SMS alerts (US only). The size of the members' database at GCruise.com is unknown to us, however, it has a fairly low Alexa ranking, which implies that it doesn't have as many visitors as some of the other major gay dating sites, notably OutPersonals.com and Gay.com. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we signed up and found more than a few young men in our local area, some of whom were even online at the time.
GayCupid.com is a fairly simple, straightforward gay dating site with some fairly advanced features, including voice and video messaging. It also has chat rooms, though these are perhaps not as good as many other gay chat rooms, notably those to be found on Gay.com, which many members regard as the best around. As a free member on GayCupid.com you may perform unlimited searches and browse through the member profiles, though in order to contact another member you must upgrade your membership to gold or platinum level.
GKiss.com is a non-adult gay dating site, and as such it is intended for men (and women) who are looking for that special someone. There are a couple of features that set GKiss.com apart from much of the competition, including the ability for free members to reply to e-mails they're sent and the personalised winks that you can send to other members you fancy, allowing you to choose from around 40 or so one-line teasers to send to your potential match. However, GKiss.com doesn't have that many subscribed members, which seriously affects your chances of finding love on the site...
ManHunt.net offers all the main features of a dating site, including the ability to search the database, view profiles and member photographs, wink at other members and e-mail them. However, it lacks many of the advanced features that are offered by many of our higher ranking gay dating sites, such as Gay.com.
Guys4Men.com is a gay dating site that's very popular amongst asian men. Expect to see a lot of profiles of men from the Philipines and the far East on this site. Nude pictures seem to be allowed on Guys4Men, but most members seem to stop short of full frontal nudity. Guys4Men.com currently has a modest 300,000 members, which is not that many compared to other gay dating sites we've reviewed...
