Best LGBT Dating Sites

It used to be that gay bars were pretty much the only places to try and find other LGBT people near you for dating or hook ups. Luckily those days are long behind us, and now we want to tell you about some of our favorite options.

Plus we can’t be sure if everyone reading this is fully ‘out’ which can definitely change their opinion on spending time at a local gay bar. Whatever your reasons or 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.

We have a few options to tell you about, and the first ones are mostly geared towards casual sex, not serious relationships. We are sure most of you have seen Adult Friend Finder links online before, 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 you might be surprised at how many users it has in big cities like these.

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 just go with Adult Friend Finder. It covers all of the userbases on their numerous sites which are not only straight and LGBT but also include swingers and other kinky people. So if you want m4m hook ups use Men Nation, and for f4f hook ups use Lesbian Personals.

We also should tell you about world’s top transgender dating site, MyTransgenderDate. Trans dating in Minneapolis and Saint Paul is more popular than ever before and will only continue to get bigger and better as more ts feel confident enough to be the person they really want to be.
