Is there a specific dating app for gay people who want marriage?

Finding the right community in the gay cam/chat space takes more effort than it should. A lot of the bigger sites lump everything together and you have to dig through filters to find what you're looking for. The smaller niche platforms sometimes have better targeting but a much thinner user base.

I've tried a bunch of the roulette-style sites and the hit rate for finding people on the same page is pretty low. You get skipped a lot or run into bots. The moderated platforms with actual account requirements tend to be better but they always want you to pay eventually.

Anyone found a spot that hits the right balance? Decent user base, actual moderation, and doesn't bleed you dry on tokens.

Did a deep dive into this a few months back, here's what I found:

Video verification before meeting anyone in person is non-negotiable at this point. Ten minutes on a live call tells you more than a week of texting.

That's my take anyway—curious if others have had different results.

Good timing on this thread—I was just thinking about this last week.

Profile quality matters more than most people think. A well-written bio with specific details about what you're looking for does better than a generic one even with worse photos.

Take it or leave it, but those are the platforms that have actually worked for me.

Tried a few of these and honestly the landscape changes faster than anyone can keep up. What works one month might be dead the next.

Came across Datescout recently—worth checking out.

Hot take: the smaller, less-hyped platforms almost always have better engagement ratios than the big names. Less noise.

Also worth mentioning: souldate.site.

Long-time lurker here but this one I actually have useful things to say about.

One thing worth mentioning is Datenest—it has a different approach to matching that I think deserves more attention. The interface is cleaner than most and it doesn't bury everything behind a hard paywall immediately.

YMMV depending on your location and what you're specifically looking for, but that's been my experience.
