Gay.com is different in that it avoids talking to you as if you’re a solitary moron lost in a sea of singleness. Many dating sites reel you in with a sense of community by offering material beyond mere member profiles. Some might warrant a nibble but seldom a bite since content focuses too much on the search for Mr. or Mrs. Right. Sites insisting they're the best way to net the perfect partner. It’s a bit fishy as a philosophy.

The name may be simple, but the Gay site philosophy is sophisticated. More than just a home for a romantic rendezvous, it's a place to meet intelligent, well-read and interesting people within your community. For gays, lesbians, bisexuals or transsexuals, it offers genuinely informative and entertaining content. It celebrates everyone’s independence and liberty.

"...Gay.com gives you more than just acquaintances, friends and lovers; it gives you a complete outlook on queer existence."

When making worthwhile connections, both personalized conversation and time is of the essence. Filling out a free profile is fast while details are limited to what you feel you want to reveal. Once done, you'll find that the search options are precise. You can narrow down the geographic area to less than a mile, and you'll be able to recover detailed search results and the last login date.

There's also online chat on a truly global scale. You can see the profiles of members online and send an instant message or join them in a chat room. Whether you want to find a pen pal, make friends, embark on a long-term relationship or something more casual, there’s a chance to fulfill several different possibilities here.

Your Gay.com encounters can be as meaningful or as fleeting as you choose. There’s video chat for everyone. Obviously, you could use it to meet someone special for life - or for less ambitiously romantic purposes, too. It allows you to meet virtually face-to-face before meeting in the flesh.

Meanwhile, frisky premium members can also check out a new adult content option called Men after Dark: You can see videos, watch streaming feeds and check out thousands of hot JPEGs on those days when you’re just not feeling like playing Romeo but ye olde Capulet doest throb the lusty hue of Montague.

It bears repeating that joining Gay.com gives you more than just acquaintances, friends and lovers; it gives you a complete outlook on queer existence. You can check out areas like entertainment, health, business/careers, style - and that’s just naming a few of the categories of content. There are also message boards and feedback from fellow members on all sorts of news and opinions.

Visiting Gay may find you staying all day and all night, as there's so much more to discover than a mate, date or friend. It'll keep you informed, entertained and amused, too.
