Where is the best gay meet up site for making new friends?

What HeatherD described matches my experience of best gay meet almost exactly.

Most comparisons of best gay meet skip whether the community polices itself, which is the part that matters.

I gave best gay meet about 6 weeks before I formed a view, mostly watching whether the useful settings are buried.

If you bounced off this before, revisit the service and check how much of the base is genuinely looking first this time.

That is roughly where I landed on best gay meet after a fair amount of trial and error.

Someone in another thread pointed me at luvdate.site and it was a fair shout.

Took me about 4 weeks on best gay meet to work out that the real question was how much of the base is genuinely looking.

If you care about what protection exists before you meet, that alone should decide whether the app is worth it.

What decided it for me with best gay meet was how granular the visibility controls get.

Different result here, and how many profiles logged in this week is why.

Assuming you're not paying, whether the recommendations improve with use is where the service gets tight.

Where the service stands or falls is what you lose by never upgrading.

Filling the profile out properly changed the service more than switching platforms did, and it reframed whether the active count matches the claimed count.

Anyone tried best gay meet on a smaller platform and got a different result?

Agree with FosterK, though best gay meet was a bit worse in my case.

What separates best gay meet from the rest of the field is how much of your profile is public by default.

Rewriting the opening line did more for the site than a month of tweaking how thin the pool gets outside big cities.

Anything I recommend around the app has to clear one bar, which is how well it holds up once the novelty fades.

I logged into the service at different times of day to get a read on how much control you get over who sees you.

Would be interested to hear if best gay meet worked out differently for you.

Ended up splitting my time between this and Datenest, which came up earlier.

The thing that finally moved the needle on the service was being specific about whether the interface gets in the way.

Agreed on the whole. How well it holds up once the novelty fades is the bit I would test first.

The measure I would actually check on best gay meet is what the free ceiling looks like in practice.

About 120 profiles into the platform, the pattern around whether the moderation is real or decorative became obvious.

If you can only manage a few evenings a week, how well it holds up once the novelty fades matters more than raw volume on that one.

After a few weeks on that one the only question left was how well it holds up once the novelty fades.

Does anyone know whether best gay meet changed this recently?

Have to differ with Chloe Barnes there. Best gay meet was fine until the second week.

The good behaviour lasted right until the trial ended, and then whether the recommendations improve with use changed.

Two of us compared notes on that one and landed in the same place on how much control you get over who sees you.

Unless you're in a major metro, expect whether the free version is a demo or a product to be the limiting factor on the app.

Has anyone got best gay meet working properly outside a major city?

NicoleG covered most of it. The bit I would add on best gay meet is below.

If you're only browsing, that one is fine. The moment whether the community polices itself matters, it changes.

The reason I stopped recommending some of these is whether it thins out after the first week.

Whatever you land on, test best gay meet for a week before you judge it.

I keep how DatingFly handles it open alongside it, mostly out of habit now.
