I was with someone for 6.5 years I met off scruff. Until he passed last year from a heart condition. Once we met we deleted all of those apps. A person has to blunt honest and stern on what they are looking for.
There needs to be an app STRICTLY for friendship and anyone that sends nudes or send messages of sexual nature gets blocked. Basically make it so the people looking for sex waste NO time even going on there.
It is hard to make friends and connect with others in the gay community. You met others there needs to be honesty up front. There must be change for the relationship. No one should settle for less. No one should be mistreated either. It should not be one sided or all sexual . Sadly it is too sexual in our community. You really have been putting the videos out Nick.
Yeah i live here in Germany, even it’s indicated on their profile looking for friends, their standards are way too high. You should be muscular, handsome and not from asian countries.
@@aarond2180 I am sorry to see it has not changed and it is the same globally it seems. It seems we do the damage to ourselves in our own community to each other. It is sad. I have seen things worse that what you said. I remember : no fats, no fems and no blacks.
@@OLDS98 same , some asian countries specially mention no indians on dating site like why so muh hate, i even saw some black peoples profile saying no to smelly indians ,every community is racist to each other love do not see race ,colour ,height etc if someone is mentioning all of these in their profile they are red flags better not to waste time on such people
When I was young, I wasn’t looking for a relationship, I was just looking to have sex. That is what the baths were for. None of us were looking for love. As I got about older I got tired of that scene, the advent of AIDS didn’t help. Now, I’m about friendship. Do find it difficult to find a way to meet people for friendship only.
It's been said that we all have two wolves inside and that the one that we feed is the one that survives. I was in a relationship for 10 years with a man that I loved down to my core. Unfortunately, he had his own emotional issues that continually sabotaged the relationship to the point that I finally decided to end it. That was 20 years ago and was an experience that has left me deeply scarred and utterly distrustful of all gay relationships in general. I tried dating in earnest but I finally gave up as I grew weary of the emotional dysfunction that seems to be so prevalent in gay culture. I've since resigned myself to accepting that being alone is the better option. It seems today that everything is EXCLUSIVELY about sex and physical attraction. And while I readily admit that physical attraction is a key component to the dating scene, it shouldn't be the ONLY aspect that one considers. Furthermore, I think the hookup apps and the prevalence of pornography only add extra baggage to our already-difficult existence. Physical attraction is a part of being human but at what point does this aspect of our human nature become a hinderance or impediment to achieving true happiness? I believe this is the question that is at the heart of your video. I was never one that felt comfortable with using any of the hook up apps and years ago I made a conscious decision to stop watching pornography as well. Speaking for myself, I concluded long ago that certain behaviors are simply not healthy and therefore not good for me. Now I make healthier choices when it comes to the people, places and things I choose to allow into my life.
I think that there are two many apps for Gay dating. Several are run by the same people I think. It can get costly. I live in a small town and the men are not plentiful. So online apps and Facebook can widen the net of finding someone.Mick I love your videos.❤ ❤❤
Perhaps, I don't do hook ups or use apps. Only monogamous serious LTR I'm looking to get married and out of the game! Meeting people is difficult but doable imo, there's ways! 🙏
Well, they are called dating apps for a reason. People are looking for hookups or sex in general. Sometimes relationships. There were some apps out there that were designed for just meeting people for social activities and networking. Not sure they still exist or even got off the ground for that matter. Because people are 90% of the time only looking for sex. Are dating apps ruining the chances to have deep meaningful relationships. I have to say no. If someone wanted to make simply friends with other people, they wouldn’t use or depend on “dating” apps to do it, or even hope to find it there. That would be wishful thinking and never going to happen. ❤
People are going to do what they are going to do. Back in the day sleazy people went to rest stops, cruising areas, etc. Amazed that you found someone on an APP, I do not judge. However, picking people off of some "restaurant menu" is pretty creepy to me. Again, not judging. I meet people every week, just networking and saying hello, and no one believes my age (no drinking, no drugs, no smoking etc) 70 is the new 30. Take off the headphones people and meet human beings in real life. The APPS are deadly, lonely people, some with low self image, thinking they will find Mr. Right ....Glad it worked for you, but I just find it too ...weird.

Short answer, YES!

I believe a Cheater is and will cheat on any form of relationship. Also agree Friends can be made from these sites.

Thanks for the love! I’ll keep making videos for you.❤️
Met my best friend on grindr. We're all people on there.
I like to look at people who live very far away from me
Easy to meet people in these apps IF IF IF you’re not picky. I’ve met maybe 5 ppl over the last 20 years.
Very good point ❤️
It’s a total YES 😩
Perhaps, I don't do hook ups or use apps. Only monogamous serious LTR I'm looking to get married and out of the game! Meeting people is difficult but doable imo, there's ways! 🙏
I met my fiance on grindr and we started chatting cuz we both had LTR on our profiles.
only if i could meet people like you in my country , everyone looking for some quick fun idk when i will meet my person
@mrash8856 what country are you in?
@@romaneros4583 I'm from India 😊
Sniffies is horrible because it shows your exact location
Hooking up and relationships are not synonymous. May the odds forever be in your favor.
I'm gay and still Looking for a Relation ship
Keep looking. Someone for everyone.
Same here, it's not easy. Absolutely no luck with these apps.
@blademaster7879 When meeting guys, be open and honest about what you want.
Same. No luck on those apps…not for lack of trying…
@@romaneros4583 lol that doesnt work the minute i say i am looking for life partner and a monogamous relationship with marriage in future im ghosted
I only use those apps to get laid! And it works pretty well!
HI NICK AND MIKE IT'S GOOD SEE YA I LOVE YOU BOTH IM DOING GREAT I JUST MIX FALL AND CHRISTMAS DECRATION IN ONE
