Genuinely unsure about top gay men dating sites for bears and would rather not learn the hard way.

The part I keep getting stuck on with top gay men is whether the app understands the audience it claims.

What I actually want to know about top gay men is whether the app understands the audience it claims.

Tell me if top gay men dating sites for bears isn't worth the effort and I will drop it.

Only had a full weekend with top gay men, but what the logs showed was stronger at the weekend.

If you take one thing from this thread on top gay men: write a bio that says something checkable.

I wasted about a fortnight on top gay men because I'd rely on the recommended matches alone.

Has what the filtering actually returns improved on top gay men, or is that still the same story?

Currently splitting my time between here and another free option for exactly this top gay men reason.

Boiled down, top gay men came to this:

  • Use a photo that shows your face clearly — on top gay men that mattered more than anything else
  • The part I got wrong at first is what decides whether top gay men is worth it
  • Keep a separate email for it, especially if top gay men is new to you
  • If top gay men is your only option, at least check when the account was last active

Came back to top gay men after a break. Over about a fortnight, how the pattern went was roughly the same either way.

What helped most with top gay men was that I made a point to treat the first message as a filter.

Anyone compared top gay men against the obvious alternative on what the profiles look like compared with general apps?

what Datebie does came up a lot when I was researching top gay men, and it held up better than expected.

I gave top gay men the first few days and what the follow-through looked like wasn'ticeably thinner than in a big city.

What helped most with top gay men was that I made a point to use a photo that shows your face clearly.

Do not ignore how long ago someone was online — that's what cost me a couple of evenings on top gay men.

What I actually want to know about top gay men is whether the smaller pool means better conversation.

Worth mentioning Datescout works too if top gay men is what you are weighing up — the free tier actually lets you message.

Tried top gay men across the first few days and honestly what I saw was stronger at the weekend.

With top gay men specifically, it pays to give it a full week before judging it.

The mistake I see repeated with top gay men is people write a bio that could belong to anyone.

If anyone has tested top gay men properly, I want to know how far you have to search to find matches.

I ended up on Datebound community after the same top gay men question and it was the least painful of the lot.

Four things I wish someone had told me about top gay men:

  • The detail that took longest to learn is what decides whether top gay men is worth it
  • Set your expectations before you start swiping, especially if top gay men is new to you
  • The failure mode with top gay men is when you ignore how long ago someone was online

Used top gay men for a full weekend. What the pool looked like was clearly ahead on this one point.

What helped most with top gay men was that I made a point to ask one specific question instead of a generic opener.

The part I keep getting stuck on with top gay men is how far you have to search to find matches.

If anyone has tested gay men properly, I want to know how active it is outside the biggest cities.

The question underneath all of this is how the moderation handles the community, at least with gay men.

A friend pointed me at Datenest free dating when I asked about top gay men; the sign-up was free and quick.

Two minutes to set up a profile, and nothing to pay afterwards. If top gay men brought you here, this is the free way to test it.
