The first step is to join a gay dating site for singles. There are two big free ones if you don’t want to spend money. Once you become a member of one or two gay dating sites, it’s time to create your profile.

First of all, you have to think of yourself as a gay personal ad as a business. The reason I say that is that you are competing with the dozens or hundreds or maybe even thousands of other gay personals in your local area. Making yourself attractive on your own profile is important and challenging. You want to make sure you attract the guys you are interested in, but at the same time you want to make sure you repel the guys you don’t care about.

Many profiles of singles say something very generic like ‘single gay boy looking for another gay boy’. Yes, that will work, it will make you tall, dark-haired gay single men, it will make you short and bald, and everything in between. Hopefully you are a little more selective than that.

  1. Know what you want – The first and most important tip is to know exactly what you are looking for. Imagine that there is a magical gay genie standing in front of you and he will grant you your relationship wish. You have to describe exactly who you are looking for. The more specific you are, the better. If you’re having a hard time with this, think about what you definitely don’t want.
  2. Memorable screen name – this is pretty much the first thing another gay bachelor on a dating site will see about you is your username. Make your username a combination of three words that you think would best describe you in three words. I know it may seem very difficult, but do your best. Also, to make your screen name easier to read and stand out more, capitalize the first letter of each of those three words. So for example BodyBuildingHunk or HikingOutdoorGuy
  3. Profile pictures – A big mistake that many single gay men make when uploading photos to their profile is uploading photos of themselves naked or semi-naked. Is this really the first impression you want to make? Unless you’re just looking for a one-night stand, this gets guys interested in you for the wrong reasons. You’re not going to find the right Mr. with this type of photo on your profile. The best images show your face clearly participating in an activity that you are passionate about. If you like hiking and you have a good photo of yourself climbing the face of the mountain. When it comes to personal ads, your screen name, the next thing they see is your image. When it comes to your dating profile, the picture is worth more than a million words.
  4. Profile Header – This is another of the first things other gay single men will see. Many times people just scan a headline and decide to go ahead or read your profile based on that. Think of your title as an extension of your screen name, except instead you have to describe who you are in three words, now you have 10-15 words to do that. Try to use a title that generates great curiosity and forces the reader to click on your ad to read more about you.
  5. Ad text – If you’ve got someone that far from reading your ad text, you’ve done well so far. A big mistake that many people make here is that they describe physical attributes about themselves that are already listed in the details section of the profile, things like height, weight, eye color, hair color. Don’t waste your text ad on this. Use your text ad to tell a story. That story should reveal who you are as a person, what is important to you, and delve deeper into your hobbies and interests. If you have a bit of difficulty with this section, a good idea is to look at the profiles of other gay men and take note when one catches your eye. Find out why that personal ad caught your eye and use that formula on your own gay dating profile.
