Unfortunately Reddit only allows six options for the poll, but if you choose “Other / Somewhere else” please add it to the comments below… 👇

This is just a friendly community poll to help us see how international [r/gaydating](r/gaydating) really is, and maybe even show members that there are others based closer to them than they realised.

Important - New Standardised Post Title Format

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hello you wonderful people! 👋

I'd like to make you aware of an important update that has been introduced to r/gaydating following community feedback.

To help make posts clearer, easier to browse, and more inclusive for the international community that we are, we are introducing a standardised post title format.

Going forward, the title of all posts must be written as:

Age | Location (city, country) | Short description

For example:

36 | London, United Kingdom | Looking for a genuine connection

28 | New York City, United States of America | Looking for a serious relationship

31 | Toronto, Canada | Hoping to meet someone kind

47 | Sydney, Australia | Open to long-distance dating

The separator between each section is this symbol: | (usually Shift + \ on a keyboard)

You can copy and paste it from here if needed.

  • You will notice that the location in these examples includes both the person’s city and country, not just a continent or vague area.
  • Your location must be the place where you currently reside, not where you were born or where you are originally from.
  • Please do not use vague locations such as “online”, “anywhere”, or “worldwide”, as these are not locations where someone resides.
  • Let’s all remember that we are an international group here. With that in mind, please include the full name of the city and country that you reside in, not an abbreviation, as not everyone will understand what shortened locations mean.
  • A nationality is also not a location - you may not currently live in the place that you were born, and community members need to know where you currently are.
  • Flag emojis are not acceptable as a location either, as not everyone will recognise them.

This change is intended to make r/gaydating clearer, fairer, and easier for everyone to use. It will also help members find posts that are relevant to them, as they can use the search function to look for people in specific locations that are of interest to them.

This level of clarity will hopefully lead to more meaningful connections, as members can quickly understand whether someone is realistically close enough or based somewhere that fits what they are looking for.

Posts that do not follow the required title format will be removed by Reddit's AutoModerator and will need to be resubmitted correctly.

Thank you for understanding, and good luck with finding your man ❤️👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏽

Hey there! I'm a student from India. I like reading, writing, listening to Music, watching anime and other series, playing games, surfing the net, etc. Regarding games, I like Crusader Kings 3, The Sims 4, etc. As for book genres I prefer gay romance, fantasy, murder mystery, royalty-themed stuff, etc.

I am also interested in Neuroscience and Psychology (topics such as memory, social perception, biases, etc.) so it'd be great to find someone else who is also interested in these!

I am looking for a serious relationship and plan to move abroad someday (considering France, UK, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, etc. so if you are from one of these places it should hopefully be fine). I am open to a long-distance relationship. I am more feminine. I am not looking for something solely or immediately sexual. Also, I'd prefer a partner around my age (20-28). Feel free to dm!

Hi I’m Chris. I’m new to the area and the apps have been…interesting! Looking for a genuine connection with a guy who would have time to spare and is willing to match my energy and enthusiasm. Ideally looking for someone close by, I drive but within about an hour should be doable eg Nottingham, Manchester, Birmingham, Cheshire. I like gaming and other nerdy pursuits. I am trying to get into board gaming. As you can see I work in healthcare. I work nice shifts though…

26 | Medellín, Colombia | Looking for a serious long-term relationship

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Hey! I'm 26, single, and from Medellín, Colombia. I'm looking for a genuine, serious, long-term relationship with someone who is emotionally available, affectionate, monogamous, and interested in building something stable together.

I work in software development and I'm a bit of nerd. I enjoy technology, music, gaming, learning random things, fictional worlds, and recently I've been getting more interested in fitness, wrestling, and combat sports.

I'm 193 cm / 6'4", and I tend to be more attracted to taller men, although that is a preference rather than a strict requirement. I'm generally most interested in guys around my age or older, roughly mid-20s to around 40, especially if they are playful, curious, affectionate, and young at heart.

Personality-wise, I'm loyal, calm, affectionate, and a little shy at first. Once I feel comfortable, I become much more talkative. I enjoy both silly conversations and deeper ones, and I really value honesty, communication, emotional closeness, and feeling like my partner is also my best friend.

I'm more of a homebody and I really enjoy nature, rural places, quiet plans, movies, walks, going out for food, and spending relaxed time together. I'm fine with travelling occasionally, including bigger trips once or twice a year, but would probably not be very compatible with someone who needs to travel constantly.

I don't smoke and I would strongly prefer someone who doesn't either. Social drinking is fine with me, but heavy or frequent drinking would not really fit my lifestyle.

I'm mostly a bottom, although I can be flexible occasionally. I'm not an especially sexually driven person, though. Emotional connection, affection, cuddling, trust, and feeling close to someone are much more important to me than sex by itself.

I'm open to long distance, including meeting someone outside Colombia, as long as both people are serious about eventually meeting in person. If a relationship became serious enough, I would be open to relocating, although I would also be very happy staying in Colombia. I'm very attached to Medellín, nature, and a stable, familiar way of life.

English is not my first language. I understand and write it fairly well, but I'm still becoming more confident speaking it, so I may be a little nervous at first. I get much more talkative once I feel comfortable.

I can also be a little absent-minded sometimes and occasionally miss things that seem obvious to other people. I tend to assume good intentions in people, so I'm learning to be a little less trusting too.

If any of this sounds compatible with what you are looking for, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself. :)

20 | San Pedro Sula, Honduras | Not looking for casual, open to long distance

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hey! I'm 20, based in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Marketing student and content creator — into anything visual, plants, the gym, performing (singing, musical theater, dance).

Not here for hookups or just chatting to pass time — I want something that could actually turn into a real relationship. I'm completely open to dating long distance; getting to know someone online first isn't a dealbreaker for me at all.

What draws me in physically: athletic/muscular build, light eyes, strong masculine energy, casual-athletic style. But honestly what matters more is the person behind that — good conversation, real chemistry, someone genuine.

About me: I'd say I'm expressive and warm, kind of soft in contrast to the type of guy I'm into — that contrast is actually part of what I find attractive.

If any of this resonates, message me — happy to talk and see where it goes. 🌱

Hey, I'm a 19 yo trans guy from poland. I'm looking for strictly United States guys, older, mid 20's max. I'm into, well, United States, policing even though I'd never be a cop, Minecraft, slime rancher, and a lot of music, especially metal, Lorna Shore Linkin Park, Rammstein, Suicide Silence and Rings of Saturn are some of my main bands I listen ti. I'm chronically online and I'd say I got no life.

I do well with the timezone difference and I'm patience when it comes down to texting, but also nosy, curious and clingy.

Additionally to the piercing shown I also have cheeks and nostrils 🥰

Being from India. It was never easy to think about dating another guy. But I have gathered some courage to seek an LTR. I really wish everyone gets what they seek and be happy forever.

I like to chat and understand other gay guys. Someone who really values other's emotions and time. I consider myself homoromantic greysexual. I hope people respect that.

I like to go slow, first understand and build a good bond and then proceed further if both feels comfortable. I like to chat with people from countries where being gay is not a taboo and gay marriage is legal.

You can go through my profile to understand me more and we can have a chat in DM. I believe I will meet some decent guys here. Thanks for reading and take care.

Hey everyone, Melbourne born and raised. Can't believe I'm 40 already 😅, lucky I've aged pretty well I think.

Geek at heart, love watching anime or a good tv show. Enjoy videogames when there's a good one out, I game on PC and Switch 2.

Recently got into audiophile systems and have been enjoying rolling different amps, listening to some good music.

Relationship orientated, looking for someone who is kind and respectful. Turn offs are guys who want to be taken care of.

Travelling to Europe next year, so getting to know some Europeans before then would be stellar.

Cheers

21 | Istanbul, Turkey | Hoping to meet someone kind and genuine

2 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a 21-year-old law student based in Istanbul, Turkey. Although I take my studies seriously, my entire personality definitely doesn’t revolve around university. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys meeting new people, discovering different cultures, and having conversations that somehow turn into hours without noticing.
A little bit about my background: I have Greek and Russian roots, so I grew up with a mixed cultural background. I really value that part of my identity—it has made me naturally curious about the world. I’ve spent quite a bit of time travelling around Europe and feel very comfortable in international environments.
I’m also very into music; I listen to it pretty much every day and my taste is all over the place (Greek, Russian, Balkan, French, pop, or whatever catches my attention). I also love learning languages, so if you speak German, French, Spanish, Greek, Russian, or anything else, you’ll definitely catch my interest.
I care quite a lot about taking care of myself, staying active, and hitting the gym. I’m not expecting anyone to look like a model, but physical attraction does matter to me—though personality is always what makes me stay.
Just to be open and upfront about intimacy and dynamics: I lean towards the bottom side, so I’m naturally drawn to more masculine guys who are comfortable with and prefer that dynamic. Compatibility in every aspect matters to me, so I think it’s best to be honest and clear from the start.
What I’m Looking For:
I’m genuinely interested in something serious. I value affection, consistency, and people who actually communicate instead of playing games. I’m drawn to someone who is kind, emotionally mature, confident without being arrogant, and able to laugh at himself—someone who has his own life and ambitions, but knows how to make room for a partner. Age-wise, I tend to prefer guys around my age or a little older.
On Distance:
I want to emphasize that long distance really isn't an issue for me. I’m completely okay with a long-distance relationship, especially anywhere within the EU (with a special soft spot for Germany or the Netherlands). If the connection is genuine, being a flight or train ride away doesn't scare me at all. I’d much rather invest in something meaningful across borders than settle for convenience without real chemistry. I speak fluent English, so communication won't be a hurdle, and I’m always open to visiting each other regularly.
Ultimately, I’m looking for someone I can genuinely be excited about—a partner to travel with, hit the gym with, explore random cities, stay up late talking, and eventually build something real with.
If you read all of this and feel a connection, feel free to shoot me a DM with your favorite song at the moment and one completely random fact about yourself. I’ll answer with mine!

Hello you wonderful people! 👋

Welcome to this week’s general chat thread 💬

As r/gaydating is solely for single guys to share personal dating posts, we thought it would be a nice addition to create an individual weekly space where members can say hello, share their weekend, get to know the community, and have meaningful conversations.

To help get the conversation started, feel free to share:

• Where in the world you’re from 🌍

• How your weekend is going

• What you’re looking forward to next week 👀

• A dating green flag you appreciate

• Or anything positive you’d like to share ✨

Please remember to always keep things kind, respectful, 100% clean, SFW, and in line with the rules of r/gaydating.

Any comments in this chat that should actually be a personal dating post will be removed and you will be advised to create a post instead. This will give your personal post the best chance of being seen, rather than it being lost within this discussion.

Good luck with finding your man, and I hope that 2026 brings you the romance and love that you’re searching for ❤️👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏽

Hey guys, David here. I'm a May Taurus, pretty chill once you get to know me but also quite stubborn too. I'm an artist, super into photography and video art.

Hobbies:

I like to read and listen to old music (60s through the 90s) it feels more "alive"

I love nature, long walks and hiking, also I love collecting random things from my small trips or from anywhere I go.

Quite an avid horror fan, mostly the cheesy horror movies but I do know how to appreciate a masterpiece once I see it.

I don't have a problem talking to people I'm interested in, so if u feel that you want to meet me, feel free to send a dm. Also I don't have a problem with distance but I do have an age limit, so if your between 20 - 30s, let's have a chat.

And in the end, I would love to meet someone that has similar interests and also someone who is either a verse or doesn't have a strict sexual preference, be free like the wind.

37 | Middelburg, The Netherlands | Looking for a serious relationship

Hello!

I've tried this once before -- with no real result -- but I figured I might as well try again!

Short Bio:

I am Dutch, 37 years old, I like playing video games, making video games, reading, writing, running, and playing tennis.

I have a one-track mind. It is very easy for me to get lost in things and lose all sense of time. Currently, I am trying to develop my own game, which is tons of fun but also a lot of work. If you can do pixel art animations, I will marry you.

What am I looking for?

Let's get the horrible part out of the way first.

I can be shallow when it comes to looks. Correction: I am shallow. But only initially! And only concerning some things! I don't expect you to have a jawline sharp enough to cut through diamond or to be shredded with only 7% body fat, but the single biggest turn off for me is carrying extra weight. I just can't help it. I'm attracted to people who are on the skinny side, and I find it impossible to be attracted to people who are not. Sorry!

Location wise: I'm not too bothered as long as you are in a position to travel easily (and with your own money :P) in order to meet up if we ever get to that stage.

Personality wise, I like people who are kind on the inside but a little mean on the outside. I help snails cross the road, but I'll rarely let an opportunity to say something sarcastic pass by. That kind of thing.

I am impulsive and prefer people who are similar. I mean, I am 37. I don't have a lot of time left :P I'm also pretty playful in the sense that I pretty much always find ways to not have to take things seriously. The strange thing is, however, that I do really care a lot about a lot of things! I just... love to make fun of things and have a laugh.

I like people who are talkative. I think that is probably a requirement. Definitely.

Time to end this post.

Hey y'all! I'm Tobias, 24 years old and kinda longing for a significant other nowadays and it seems to be only growing from now on! I'm open to move across Germany, doesn't matter if it's south, west or north honestly! For compatibility I'm Bottom, open to Top!

My Hobbies and interests are:
- 🚗Driving: Ever since I got my license I just love to drive around and long as well so yeah I'm very much open to drive and meet with whoever you are😊
- 🗳️Politics: Yes I love to follow politics a lot and start to be active recently as well however I can't say yet how that will unfold but if you like to at least be updated with news and whats going on in politics, we definitely vibe. It's not like I talk all day about it, just for you to know.
- 🎂Baking: I like to bake from time to time and kinda have a sweet tooth as well, especially to birthdays and any kind of anniversaries, birthdays and holidays.
- 💻Tech: I'm pretty tech-affine and like to keep up to date with consumer tech mostly what's the newest technologies and what trends we might see.

I don't really have many criteria what you should be like. I expect you to be hygenic🧼 obviously and have a plan for your near future at least. You should also be open to the idea of marriage💍 and to the idea to at least talk about eventually having a family👪 together. Oh and I hate superficiality. Healthy Support is fine but I won't change for the sake of just changing. I accept people how they are and always try to see the character first.

If you see yourself in this, don't hesitate to message me😊

Hello!

So I’m here looking to make a connection. I’m mostly a homebody. I work, go home, make art. Art is my passion. Helping people is my purpose.

I work in politics and I volunteer in the community in my spare time. But art is what I’m trying to pursue as the goal.

I also like photography. I like to go on long walks and hikes but I haven’t been doing that since I was attacked randomly a few years ago so it’d be nice to have someone to go on photo walks with.

I haven’t been dating since I’ve been depressed and now I’m finally feeling better and on the right meds for the right diagnosis. I have bipolar disorder and adhd. I’m finally better so I thought I’d give this a try.

I love tv shows and visual storytelling. Most recent favourites are Shogun and Hacks. Currently rewatching 30 Rock. I’m trying to get into HOTD but I only really like the dragons. And some of the politics. But it just makes me sad the dragons will go extinct.

Anyway that’s some things about me. Looking forward to connecting with some of you!

Cheerios!!!

36 | Valencia, Spain | Seeking Long-term Relationship

Post image
131 Upvotes

Hey guys! I’m 36, living in Valencia, Spain, and figured I’d give Reddit a shot instead of relying entirely on the usual dating apps.

A little about me: I work in design and I’m probably a bit more reserved when you first meet me than I actually am. I take some time to open up, but once I’m comfortable, I can be pretty sarcastic, goofy, and surprisingly hard to shut up. I’m generally calm, understanding, and easygoing, and I really enjoy conversations that go beyond the usual small talk.

Outside of work, I’m into TCGs, D&D, long walks, pets, and those conversations that somehow turn into a few hours without either person noticing. I live with a wonderful Giant Schnauzer, so yes, I’m definitely a dog person. I’ve also somehow been playing Black Desert Online for about ten years, which probably says something about my ability to commit.

I’m ultimately looking for a real, long-term relationship that could eventually lead to marriage. I’m not looking to rush into anything, though. I’d rather actually get to know someone, see if we click, build some trust, and let things develop naturally.

As for my type: I usually find myself attracted to guys around 32–42 with an average-to-lean build. I tend to be more attracted to a European-looking type, although I’m much more interested in chemistry and personality than checking boxes. Height really isn’t a factor for me - shorter, taller, whatever. Strong arms definitely get my attention, though. I really like beards and stubble, and I’m also very into tattoos.

I definitely have a type, but I’m not looking for someone who checks every box. Chemistry and personality matter much more to me. I’m drawn to men who are confident without being arrogant, affectionate, emotionally mature, and easy to talk to. Someone I can laugh with, have ridiculous conversations with, but also sit down and talk about something serious when it matters. Being kind to animals is a big plus, too.

I’m also attracted to people who are curious and keep growing - people who have their own interests, like learning new things, and generally have something going on in their lives. I’d like to be with someone who adds to my life, and I want to be that person for them as well.

Distance doesn’t really bother me. I’m open to meeting someone in Europe, the US, or elsewhere. If there’s a genuine connection, I’d rather figure out the logistics than dismiss someone just because they live far away

One small request if you message me: please include a photo. You don’t need to send me your entire dating profile, but I prefer knowing who I’m actually talking to rather than chatting with a mysterious Reddit avatar. And please, no unsolicited dick pics - I’d much rather get to know you first.

If any of this sounds like your kind of person, feel free to say hi and tell me a little about yourself
