Best LGBT Dating Sites
It used to be that local gay bars were pretty much the only places to try and find other LGBT people in Ireland for dating or hook ups. These days that isn’t the case at all so now we want to tell you about some of our favorite options.
Plus not everyone is fully ‘out’ at the moment and may not necessarily want to be spotted and get posted about on social media. Whatever your motivations are LGBT dating sites are a great way to meet people without having to get all dressed up and head to a gay or lesbian bar to do so.
The first sites we want to mention are mainly geared towards casual sex, they aren’t exactly dating sites. As the divorce rates keep climbing lots of people are enjoying the single life and aren’t looking for any commitment at the moment.
Many of you have probably seen Adult Friend Finder links online before since it is the biggest hook up site on the planet and has been for almost twenty years. Their top site for finding gay men near you to hook up with is Men Nation and it is very popular in major cities like this one.
The ladies will be better off on Lesbian Personals, and if you are bi-sexual and don’t have a preferred gender to hook up with then Adult Friend Finder is probably best for you because it covers all the user bases on their numerous sites. So if you want m4m hook ups use Men Nation, and for f4f hook ups use Lesbian Personals.
We also should tell you about the world’s top transgender dating site, MyTransgenderDate. Trans dating in Dublin is trending upwards at a rapid rate as more Irish ts near you are finally comfortable living the life they want to live.
Alright then, we have told you all about the LGBT nightlife in your area as best as we can. You know where to go to find mixed, gay, or lesbian bars and clubs in Dublin plus drag shows to party with trans and all sorts of LGBT dating sites in Ireland. We hope you make the most of the information at hand.
