Apparently, Lesbian Relationships Are Complicated Too
If you pay attention to the kind of advice people give on dating, you generally find a lot of commentary on just how different men and women are. Given that the inability to communicate across the gender gap is what people think causes most of the problems then you'd think that, say, lesbian relationships would be simpler. I'm sure this won't actually be news to anyone, but that is simply not the case. The days that I'm having trouble figuring out women, my lesbian friend tends to have the most sympathetic ear for my problems. She's recently started using a lesbian dating site because she thinks it'll give her the opportunity to find someone with whom she can actually communicate.

Plump Gay Men Take Over!
It's Gay Pride Week here in this anonymous city in which I live (for the sake of this blog, we'll call this city "Cupidia"). There's a massive gay population here in Cupidia - in fact, the gay neighborhood (for the sake of this blog, we'll call this area the "Gayborhood") has a level of prominence and mainstream acceptance that it appears on government maps and tourist brochures. One of the many, many large events in this celebration of gayness is the Gay Pride Parade, featuring the kind of insane costumes, over-the top camp, and embodiments of physical perfection that you would expect from these festivities. The last little bit has always bugged me a little - I can understand why the gay community would want to put their best foot forward and show off the hottest guys and gals that money can buy, but where are the plump gay guys (and gals)? I refuse to believe that every gay man on this planet looks like a model for Abercrombie and Fitch.

Where Are The Best Gay Babes?
One of my very best friends is a lesbian. She always has been and has never gone through that period of denial that so many others do. That means she's never had to date people of the opposite sex to prove anything to herself or to others. She's been single for a while now, she's grown tired of the bar scene and she's starting to wonder where the best gay babes are. I've recommended she start checking out some lesbian dating sites and I'm really hoping that it's going to pay off for her.

Hypocritical Interracial Gay Couples
Why is it that every time I see an interracial gay couple, the white guy is always older and the non-white guy is always in better shape? This frustrates me to no end because of the double standard that's being practiced within the gay community. We all agree it's wrong that queers are discriminated against by the heterosexual powers that be, but for some reason equality doesn't apply to race when gay dating is concerned.

Searching for Lesbian Dream Girls?
I overheard a co-worker discuss the representation of lesbians in romantic movies/TV shows/ etc, and he felt that lesbians didn't get a fair portrayal. Lesbians were either represented by hetero pop fantasies (the curse of the lipstick lesbians), or portrayed as grunting behemoths. Hetero versions of lesbians aren't likely to be fair and balanced, but do hetero fantasies consist solely of the mythical lipstick lesbian? lesbian dream girls can be pretty hard to define (or find for that matter). Are lesbian fantasies solely limited to scantily-clad underwear models having pillow fights? Lesbian dating sites should give most people a clue, but unfortunately realistic portrayal s of lesbians often fall on deaf ears.

Looking For Lesbian Dating Sites
As anybody who's ever taken a glance at our website before knows, the niche dating sites are rapidly changing the whole landscape of the singles scene. It used to be that singles bars covered all the bases - every conceivable category of singledom probably had a bar/club/restaurant somewhere. Now the online equivalents are coming up and letting a lot of people who had no interest in setting foot in a typical meat market connect with fun, exciting singles on the interweb. The GLBT community has really taken to this new phenomenon, and the possibilities for online encounters are incredibly diverse. Lesbian dating sites are just as prevalent as their gay equivalents, and there's a whole lot of variety to choose from when exploring the online lesbian dating scene.

Sweet Gay Guys Like It Slow
So I'm supposed to write about how to date a sweet gay guy. Does such a thing exist? Maybe I'm too jaded. Okay, let me take a deep breath and remember the wise words of gay dating advice from a great fag hag I know. "When you meet someone new, forget everything who know and everything you've experienced and start completely fresh with that person." In other words, don't pile your old baggage on the new guy. He may very well be the sweet guy you've always been looking for.

Great Gay Personals
Obviously, not everyone is necessarily looking for a relationship with a gay, bisexual or transgender man or woman. However, I would have to say from having reviewed web personals sites targeted towards such an audience, along with others that may have had a more heterosexual consumer base in mind, sites such as Gay.com really do a great job at delivering more than your standard dating site does. It's truly a multifaceted experience.

Gay Women Seeking Men: Truth Or Fiction
A while ago (well, months and months ago), everybody's favorite gay columnist Dan Savage talked about the latest trend with the gay population - having hetero sex. Apparently getting it on with members of the opposite gender doesn't mean you're straight (although it does beg the question of why people would even bother using gay/straight/bi labels in the first place). Yep, it looks like hetero sex is the new black, it's trendier than Pug dogs, Starbucks and iPods combined. I wonder, however, just how many ads there are out there for gay women seeking men - I haven't seen any in the gay dating sites, and rest assured they're pretty scarce in the straight dating sites as well. It makes me wonder if Dan Savage is blowing smoke out his rear as usual, or if there's any truth to his claims.

Your favorite gay tease
You've seen 'em on the tv shows, you've heard them on the radio. They're called gay boyfriends, and they've been the platonic standbys for women for as long as anybody can remember. The gay best friend is almost stereotypical, and a quick glance at some of the TV shows in the best few years should indicate the typical features - effeminate, weirdly nonsexual guys and their sassy gal pals. However, I've witnessed a couple of platonic friendships like these fall apart, and it's usually because of one question - What if the feelings run deeper, at least as far the girl is concerned? Gay dating is pretty easy to do when you're another gay guy, but what about the hetero best friends who wind up being attracted to their sassy best friend? A gay tease can be awfully irritating when the expectations are raised.

Gay Dating on Pride Weekend
Do you have any idea what day it is? I know you’re all scratching your heads and wondering, or coming up with answers that although good, probably aren’t what I had in mind--unless you live in Toronto and happen to be gay. For the record, I’m as straight as the arrow soars, but this is my favorite party weekend of the year. There are two party days I don’t miss: New Years and Pride Parade Sunday.

Finding Gay Friends
I’ve been rambling on as of late about the Friend Finder network of sites. It saddens me to say that Gay Friend Finder is no different than the rest. Sure, it may not be as expensive as some of the other Friend Finder sites, but it is probably more expensive than it’s worth. I just can’t stomach a site that won’t let you view profiles! I think the whole Friend Finder team, regardless of sex or sexual orientation, should be locked in a room and sprayed with cold water from a fire hose until they come to their senses.
