How to Have Better Luck with Gay Dating Sites

Online dating is a huge money maker these days and nearly everyone has had a profile on one of these sites at some point. But it can be even harder to find a date on gay dating sites than on predominantly straight sites. The competition on dating sites geared towards the gay community is extremely fierce. You've got to have something pretty great to offer to get the kind of attention you are looking for. Your approach is going to differ depending on whether you are a gay male or a lesbian. So for the purposes of this article, all advice will be geared towards men. I will write a similar article for the lesbian community at a later time. Follow these tips to increase your odds of getting noticed on gay dating sites.


Instructions

1. First and foremost you must consider what it is you are really looking for. Once you've decided you should check into dating sites that are specifically geared for what it is you're after. If you're looking for casual hookups and meeting new guys without anything serious you need to go with gay adult dating websites. This way everyone there wants the same thing and you don't run the risk of leading a guy on with false hopes of a committed relationship. You'll get exactly what you're in the market for with none of the confusion or hurt feelings. But if you're tired of the casual dating scene and are looking to find Mr. Right, then stay away from adult dating sites. You're not going to find love there. You'll only be setting yourself up for getting hurt. Focus your attention on some of the larger match making sites that have established a good reputation or sites geared toward those seeking a long term relationship. For example gkiss.com is a gay personals site where all members are seeking something more than a one night stand. There are a lot of other websites like this out there to choose from

2. Make your photo count! Your main photo on your dating profile is the most important thing. People will tell you that what you say is the most important, but in reality a guy's not going to see your well written biography if he isn't interested in your pic. So choose wisely! A woman may be able to over look an imperfect photo but gay men have much higher expecations. A very well done headshot is your best bet for your main pic. Of course, be sure to include lots of full body shots as well but you want your main pic to focus on your face. This rule doesn't apply to hookup sites, however, in these instances a full body shot is almost a requirement for your main pic. But whatever photo you use, make it good. Don't take pics of you with your ex. Don't put up a photo that's grainy and bad quality. Make sure the lighting is good, that your skin looks great, that your teeth aren't yellow and that your hair is perfectly done. No one wants a guy who can't take care of himself properly.

3. Really think about the content of your profile. This is a dating advertisement. Treat it as such. Make your profile short and straight forward. Don't go on and on about things. Be sure that your profile is grammatically correct and that everything makes sense. You'll only embarrass yourself with a sloppy profile full of misspellings and incorrect use of punctuation. And believe it or not, intelligence can be a huge turn on for many men. Ignorance however, can cause an interested party to hit the back button.
