Our Review

GaysGoDating is a dating site that aims to fix a safe and friendly environment for single gay men who are looking for a partner. It is operated by TimeSpace Services Limited, which is also responsible for other Gay dating sites like BuddyGays.

The site claims to have a community where gay men can just be themselves while being surrounded by open-minded people who will understand you perfectly. Its features aim to help you meet gay men in this community whom you are compatible with. GaysGoDating says that there are several ways of meeting new people on the site: choose a man through gay personals, find someone in the chat, or be found by gay singles personally.

Are these claims possible? We took a closer look at GaysGoDating for you! Find out in this in-depth review whether this site is worth your time.

  • You get a personal profile which you can fill out
  • There are only gay men on the site
  • Membership is almost equally-distributed among age groups
  • All of the members have main photos
  • Matches are based on your preferred age range and location

Just like its sister site BuddyGays under Timespace Services Limited, GaysGoDating categorises its members into different "tribes" which is supposed to let members describe their personality by choosing which group of people they identify with the most. Here are the tribe choices:

  • Bear -  a bear is often a larger and hairier man who projects an image of rugged masculinity
  • Clean-cut - when you do not have much facial hair
  • Geek - if you gravitate towards what would be regarded as a geeky activity
  • Twink - if you are a young gay on your late teens
  • Daddy - if you are a dominant gay man
  • Jock - if you are an athletic gay man
  • BDSM - if you are a gay man who likes BDSM

There is no way to filter out those who are not being truthful, but only gay men are allowed to create an account with GaysGoDating. The site claims though that it continuously monitors its members and puts particular attention to newbies for suspicious activities.

Signing Up at GaysGoDating

gaysgodating sign up
  • Registration is fast and easy
  • Create an account as a "man looking for a man"
  • Email verification is required
  • You can skip most of the registration questionnaire
  • Only gay men can join the site

If you are in for a swift and hassle-free registration process, then GaysGoDating is for you. 

The process starts immediately by providing your age, email address, location, and desired password. There is no way to verify the real age of new members during registration, but the age restrictions are between 18 to 78-years-old.

Email Verification

GaysGoDating implements a no-fuss signup process, but the email verification step is required. After the basic details, this process comes next so make sure that you have access to the email address that you used.

The site will send you a confirmation link that you can click to activate your account. You can also just type in the four-digit code to the GaysGoDating email verification checkpoint page to proceed.

Photo Requirement

Adding the main photo is not a requirement, but in case you would upload one, make sure to follow these guidelines:

  • Size should be no less than 320 x 320 px, not bigger than 8MB
  • Accepted formats are jpeg, jpg, and png
  • No personal details should be on the photo
  • Must not portray violence, drugs, death, weapons

Making Contact on GaysGoDating

gaysgodating contacting
  • There is a chat function
  • The search function is available for free
  • Messaging is a premium feature
  • Sending likes and adding people to your favourites list is free
  • You can ask members to add more information to their profiles

To reach out to other members, you can send them a message. Aside from text messaging, this function allows you to exchange photos and videos with one another. Sending messages is a premium feature but you can send feelers for free to your matches by liking their profiles and saving them onto your favourites list.

GaysGoDating is basic when it comes to messaging functions compared to other gay dating sites. This can work out if you are the straightforward type. If not, the experience may be a bit lacking for your taste.

Other features

A Status Message is a brief introduction about yourself that you can customise according to your preferences. You can be as creative as you want, but make sure that you don't include any of the following as it will be rejected by the moderator:

  • Personal or contact details
  • Links to other sites
  • Offensive language
  • Age or gender mismatch
  • Drug references
  • Escort service offer
  • Incomprehensible text
  • Currency symbols and solicitation for money

GaysGoDating Profile Quality

gaysgodating profile
  • There are some fake profiles but are easily detected
  • Viewing profiles is available for free
  • Some profile information are locked for free members
  • Main photos are visible for free

    The profile sections should have been enough for you to get a feel of a member's personality; but since you can skip the majority of the registration process, they are most of the time left blank by the members.

    To compensate for this, GaysGoDating allows every member to push an "Ask to Add" button on every profile section which will prompt a member to fill in its details.

    At the base point, you will see a member's name, age, and location—which are required items when you create an account. You are also allowed to view the thumbnail of a profile's main photo, but viewing it in full-size requires you to upgrade to a premium account.

    Other premium profile page features include the browsing of photo albums and unlocking the "Looking for" section where you can find the relationship preferences of a member.

    Overall, the profile pages will not hold enough information unless you upgrade your account.

Just go to GaysGoDating like you would using a desktop and the site automatically translates into the mobile version.

    GaysGoDating Real Life Review

    If it wasn't for the 3-day premium membership package, I won't be able to enjoy my stay at GaysGoDating. I was frustrated at first as my free account was very limited. I took my chance at the 3-day membership and luckily on my second day, I've already found someone to chat with. We've been seeing each other for a few weeks now, and I think we are both looking in the same direction when it comes to our relationship. Just give it a try, and see for yourself. It may work out as it did for me. - Joe, 29, Nurse

    Design and Usability

    GaysGoDating's interface looks exactly the same as its sister site BuddyGays, almost mirror-like. It has a clean design and is user-friendly, but one may think that the site is only a copy of the other. Despite this, it cannot be denied that the functions inside the site work as expected and the design compliments it well.

    Editors Conclusion

    Datingscout.nz Author Chris Pleines
    GaysGoDating's strength lies in the quality of its membership base. It does not have a lot of unique features that will wow you, but the community has a pretty solid dating vibe. Since the site functions to connect people based on locations, meeting up is always possible among matches. In this case, GaysGoDating acts as a bridge to meet gay men up, instead of taking the entire relationship inside its platform. It also has a popular 3-day premium membership available for few dollars to let new members see for themselves if it is a viable source of a partner. For these reasons, joining GaysGoDating can be worth your time.
