GayMarriage Review
GayMarriage.net is a niche matchmaking site that was designed to help gay and lesbian singles that are seeking a long-term permanent relationship. As more states accept and officially recognize same-sex marriages, many gays and lesbians are looking for someone to spend the rest of their life with. Just like heterosexual singles, they dream of their own beautiful wedding celebrations surrounded by family and friends. The homepage on GayMarriage.net has a photo of two men carrying a couch up the stairs conveying the message that they are moving in together. If you are tired of hookups, flings and casual dating and want a meaningful commitment, you might find your ideal partner among the thousands of people on GayMarriage.net.
How it works
To join this community of singles, you will need to build an interesting online profile. Begin by sharing general information like your physical appearance, location, education, faith and smoking/drinking habits. Next, you need to think about the type of person that you want to attract. Select details like age range, body type, ethnicity and faith for your perfect man or woman.
Afterwards, you have the opportunity to write a personal description about yourself. You can write about your personality, quirks, education and a bit of your life story. You can list the things that you like to do in your city as well as your favorite places that you would like to go on your first date.
You can also write a description of the person you want to meet on GayMarriage.net. It is best to visualize your ideal match in your mind and be specific. List their personality traits, interests, personal habits, physical characteristics and age range to create a portrait of your perfect match. You can add additional information about yourself like your favorite movies, books, television shows, sports and hobbies. Finish your profile by uploading up to 40 pictures of yourself.
Now you are ready to search through the GayMarriage.net database for your lifetime partner. With a basic search, you can filter users by relationship type, location, keywords and distance you are willing to search. Or you have the option of selecting up to12 filters to narrow your search such as ethnicity, body type, religion, income and occupation.
With a basic GayMarriage.net membership, you can send e-mails to anyone that you like. However, you will not be able to read e-mails until you upgrade. Another free option that will draw a user’s attention is to send an Interest flirt and add them to your Favorites list.
Another great way to meet potential matches is the Wanna Meet Up? carousel feature, which quickly shows you many users that match the criteria of your ideal match. For each user, you will have to select “yes”, “no” or “maybe”. If you see someone that you like, a notification will be send to him or her. Using this feature, you can check out profiles if you want to learn more information about an individual. As you navigate the site, you can always see the users that have viewed you, added you to their Favorites list or sent a flirt or an email.
