    Gay men may have much higher standards than straight women and if you want to date you may have trouble, even a lot, depending on your age (which also will affect hookup potential). There’s also sexual compatibility. Your good gay friends may be of same position. Or you may simply not be attracted to each other. The gay friends I had were both same position and unattractive to me. Straight people commenting on how we should get together just because we’re both gay made me very uncomfortable.

      That’s a great point. Often straight guys have lower standards and I was looking at it from that viewpoint. Women often complain most men see all of them as a potential sexual partner and I’m not sure if they are wrong in a lot of cases.

      Still I wonder really there is no one in the whole city, province, or country that is a match? The smaller pool is something I should factor in though if I’m being fair.

      In addition most of my relationships have been with people not originally from the area but neither am I.
