How is everyone in their mid-30s finding people to date these days? Hinge and Tinder are too Gen Z, and as a gay man, Bumble isn't for me, even after their efforts to include our community. It makes me feel so hopeless, and I just want to ditch all the apps altogether. Could you all share if you've found success elsewhere? Going to bars on the weekend doesn't count as an option for me, please. :D

I know this feeling. I've been there so many times, but one person I found on Hinge finally worked out. I'm still with said person, so maybe just give it some more time? Actually, I'd be so mad if someone told me that when I was where you're at so scratch that. Honestly, what's worked for me in the past is being set up. If you ask around to friends or colleagues you have, I'm sure they would be happy to set you up on a blind date with someone they know. Word of mouth is more powerful than you think...

I hooked up with a guy off Grindr 7 months ago and we’ve been going strong since. I guess everyone’s mileage may vary, but maybe it’s reaching the gay death of relationship timelines. I’ll check back in 5 more months lol

What is the best way to attract a new mate? I got out of a 7 year relationship (he was cheating on me for half of it) and I’m so confused on where to even start.

But I’ve seen girls that are objectively more unattractive than me have mates. So it must be a confidence issue? Those girls seem to glow while I am so sad. Or it’s the guys I go on dates with?

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.
