What are the top free gay dating websites globally?

Bit of context before the question: I've been off apps for two years, and now free gay dating is the thing I can't work out.

I've read maybe a dozen articles on free gay dating and they all recommend the same five names in a different order.

The parts of free gay dating I'd want covered:

• Whether the matching in free gay dating does anything beyond distance
• How long free gay dating takes before a conversation goes anywhere at all
• How quickly free gay dating puts a paywall in front of a conversation that has started

Genuinely open to being argued out of my assumptions on free gay dating.

I keep the Flurrydate boards open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with free gay dating.

The globally disagreement in this thread says more about free gay dating than any single answer.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Datenest solved the messaging-paywall part of free gay dating for me last year.

Anything promising instant matches around free gay dating is worth treating with suspicion.

Someone recommended Datebie itself to me during my own search around free gay dating and it was better than I expected.

Agree with the framing here, because free gay dating really does come down to who is active near you.

Bookmarking this, because threads like it on free gay dating are more use than any ranked list.

Tried free gay dating properly last winter, and after a quiet first fortnight it picked up once I rewrote my prompts.

The cheap test for free gay dating is whether you can send one message without a card, and if you cannot, move on.

For anyone else researching free gay dating, I would put Flamedate on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

Worth noting that nobody in this thread has agreed on free gay dating yet, which is itself an answer.

Hard disagree on the globally point. That has not been my experience of free gay dating at all.

A friend had a good outcome with free gay dating and a bad one with the app everyone recommends, which tells you something.

I've also seen Datebound.online mentioned in this context more than once.
