Top 10 Online Gay Dating Tips
In the last 10 years online dating has completely transformed the way gay men get together. It works, it is cheap and it is easy. But are you making the most of your online presence? Does your profile do YOU justice? Do you need some gay dating tips?
At Mothership we’ve put together our top 10 online gay dating tips so that you can maximise your chances of finding compatable matches.
1 Main Photo - Upload a decent, recent main picture of yourself. You are much more likely to be contacted, and you will receive more respect when you are. Seems obvious, but a surprising number of guys don’t bother.
2 Make it obvious what you’re looking for - on Mothership you choose between ‘Just Hanging Out’ or ‘Looking to Meet Up’ whenever you board, and your choices of ‘Friends’ ‘Relationship’ ‘Sex’ and ‘Group Sex’ are clearly displayed on your profile and on ‘Who’s Onboard’.. You can change these under Customise Your Profile.
3 Describe yourself accurately - Saying you’re 10 years younger than you are, or ‘athletic’ build rather than large is only asking for trouble if you have a gay meet.
4 Describe yourself fully - Whether you’re looking for sex, love or mates you’re going to improve your chances if you give plenty of relevant information. Fill out the statistics and preferences parts of your profile. Use your profile’s ‘main text’ to informally tell others about yourself - be careful though - you don’t want to sound like you’re only interested in yourself!
5 Be consistent - If you’re solely looking for love or just mates there is little point in having lots of explicit photos of yourself! Similarly if you ARE looking for sex and are passive, for instance, you’ll be more likely to get interest if you show a photo of your bottom! Your profile needs to reflect what you are looking for.
6 Cheap Gay Dating - Don’t pay over the odds for your gay dating site! Mothership is one of the best value around!
7 Stand out from the crowd - customise your profile to make it really special. Humour works well no matter what you’re after. On Mothership you can upload audio, wallpaper, slideshows, YouTube movie clips and more - so there are no excuses!
8 Fortune favours the brave - don’t just sit there - do something! So many hot gay guys don’t pluck up the courage to say hi to someone they fancy. Why? That old bugbear - fear of rejection. Well, so what - you may get turned down, but you’ll soon get over it. You’ll never get anywhere if you don’t try.
9 Have fun - enjoy yourself. Keep it light and use your sense of humour. I guarantee you’ll seem more attractive to others if you do.
10 What goes around comes around - This is the most important of these gay dating tips! Like so many things in life - the more you put into your online gay dating, the more you’ll get out. Upload decent photos. Make your profile really good. Force yourself to approach others, even if you’re naturally shy. Get stuck in and have fun. You know how special you are - now its time to show it! Good luck.
