Just wondering if any gay speed dating existed in Sheffield, if so, when and is it usually popular? I'm getting a bit tired of the gay scene being so repetitive and I would like to meet some Sheffield gay men that don't mind also living life away from the scene.

If you find anything, let me know :thumbsup:

The scene does get repetative, same old faces month in month out

I think they did some at the Lounge bar a while back - don't think it caught on though.

Prob cause they all seem to be interested in casually shagging rather than going on dates with conversation lol

Nah thats a bit of an overgeneralisation actually, just would like someone with decent conversation who is genuine and speed dating would seem like a slightly easier way of finding those qualities.

I'd be up for some gay speed dating. Was talking with friends last night about finding a man who wants more than just a one night stand etc. I want some old fashioned dating and romance.

I'm seriously thinking of moving to Manchester for a fresh start, Sheffield is atrocious for gay men. It seriously is.

Surely this is something that Climax need to get involved in. They're the only ones that ever do anything positive for the scene

soz you posted before me, lol

Problem is it would never work, (I know I am gonna get slated for this) as alot of guys go by age, so if ya not between 19-35 they dont wanna know, and so many are shallow and vain.

But owt for a laugh. :thumbsup:

Maybe a Masquerade Speed Dating then for us older peeps. Having said that, might as well speed date online without the pics, lol

Or maybe I just organise a meet off here and all the gay men can just turn up and fight it out. :thumbsup:

What exactly do you do in Speed Dating? Do you have to say things like "I like hoss riding", or "I never dye my hair" or even maybe "I never swallow on the first date", lol

Believe me the men in Manchester, London and Leeds are just as bad, I know from personal experience. It's not the ciy or venue, it's something about gay men who go on the scene. I have friends who are in very successful, longterm relationships and they say the success to there relationship among many other things is avoiding the gay scene.

I just want an oridinary guy with manners, humour and a sense of being alive !

Yea that makes sense, its just a very difficult predicament to be in unless you're willing to sleep around which I'm not to be honest. I'm all up for fun but I'd miss the companionship!

Bless you, if only you were into older men. Take care and good luck, the right man is out there somewhere.

Found some great sond lyrics last night that I thought I would share with you.

"Pure gold babe, slipping through the slip stream passing by the fools who just don't know real gold"
