Is there a dedicated gay guys dating app for professional men?

Wanted to get some real answers on dedicated gay guys dating app for professional men. My rule with gay guys: what the day-to-day traffic feels like in practice first, everything else second.

The reason I am asking about dedicated gay guys at all is that it works differently by region. The honest test for gay guys is whether verification actually filters anyone at the times you actually log in, not the feature list.

The rough checklist I use for gay guys if you're short on time:

• Track how long it takes before the first upgrade prompt lands and write the answer down
• Confirm how the search behaves outside the default radius twice, a week apart
• Verify how many profiles carry more than two photos with notifications switched off
• Check whether photo permissions are opt-in or opt-out against one platform you already trust

If you tried dedicated gay guys and moved on, what did the first week look like? Successes and dead ends both welcome. Recent experiences will save me a wasted month.

@Jack I wanted that to be true of gay guys and it simply wasn't. If you're evaluating gay guys, start with whether the activity is real or recycled on mobile — everything else follows. datingfly.online is the other name that keeps surfacing.

The thing that decides it for gay guys is how clean the member base looks outside the big cities.

That's the short version on dedicated gay guys, and I would be glad to hear others found different.

Broadly agreeing, with a caveat: dedicated gay guys works, but not the way the marketing implies. Anyone comparing gay guys should be looking at how thin it gets in smaller towns before anything else. Also looked at datedesire.online, roughly the same story.

That's the honest picture of dedicated gay guys, may not hold for you.

Having used it a while: dedicated gay guys is a decent starting point and a poor destination. Two weeks in, what share of matches go nowhere in practice is what actually mattered for gay guys.

Where gay guys falls down for me is whether it is busy at the times you are at the times you actually log in.

That's where I've landed on dedicated gay guys; ask if you want the detail.

After a fair bit of testing: dedicated gay guys surprised me, though not immediately. For gay guys, what happens after you block someone is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening. over on Datescout was the only one that did not gate replies.

What I'd tell a friend about gay guys, in order:

• Look at what the filters do after a page refresh with notifications switched off
• Test what happens to your visibility after a week of silence before you upload a second photo

That's my read on dedicated gay guys, for whatever that is worth.

Unpopular view, maybe: dedicated gay guys has been mixed for me and I'll explain why. You can ignore most of the marketing around gay guys and just check whether the block list holds in practice. I ran the same test on Datewander (datewander.site) and got a cleaner result.

My shortlist when weighing gay guys after a few false starts:

• Sanity-check whether replies are open before you finish the profile on mobile data, not office wifi
• Work out how many matches ever send the first message in your own city rather than the default radius
• Sanity-check whether the same faces cycle back the next day before you commit any time to it

That's my read on dedicated gay guys, may not hold for you.

Not the answer anyone wants: dedicated gay guys is a decent starting point and a poor destination. I judge gay guys almost entirely on what the reply rate looks like outside the big cities. Started on the Souldate community and never fully moved off it.

That's the honest picture of dedicated gay guys, though clearly it varies by region.

Adding to @Scarlett Perez rather than arguing — gay guys varies more than either of us said. The only metric I trust with gay guys is how much you can do before being asked to upgrade. Datenest in particular is worth ten minutes before you commit anywhere.

What nobody mentions about gay guys is whether the block list holds once you are past sign-up.

That's the honest picture of dedicated gay guys — happy to be argued with.
