A bit more gay explicitness is fine, unless your prudish.

Outpersonals.com has at the time of this review, around 1.5 million worldwide members.  The first pictures of members you will seem to be a bit more graphic.  That is alright though, unless you are a bit prudish.The home page itself is very user friendly and is not overly cluttered.

If you go to the “browse” button you can short cut the regular search engine to browse through a list of gay personals by category.  I love this feature!  You can go directly to a category such as, gay couples (two guys) seeking men, and see that there are three hundred and seventy listings for in the state of Michigan.  If you were to click on the link you can either view all of the listings or “drill down” (further narrowing your browsing) by clicking on another search category box…. very cool!

As far as the regular gay personals search button goes, Outpersonals.com has one of the best searches engines on a gay dating, gay personals site that I have seen.  If you sign up for the Gold membership (I highly recommend this level) you can access a crazy extensive search form.  You can search for anything from exhibitionism, and voyeurism, to travel partner, to education level, to body type, to whether or not they like to swap, to length and width of their penis.  You can even have matches emailed to you.  Another cool thing about the personals section, is that you can have a voice or video introduction.

If you are into joining groups. There is a world group section.  The groups are broken down by countries first, and then further thereafter.  There seems to be a little bit of everything under the sun in the groups category.  You will find anything from first timers to bi guys.  For some reason there seems to be a whole lot of orgy activity in my area…. who knew?

You can also create your own network and hot list, but I must say my favorite thing about this site has to be the unique idea of the magazine.  The Outpersonals magazine’s content is provided by the members of outpersonals.com.   The articles are unique and interactive.

If you are into blogs check out the blog section.  There are some interesting ones.

Oh, I almost forgot about the “shop” button and the “get local” button.  I guess they are worth mentioning only because they are there.  The shop area in my opinion is nothing special.  It has pretty much your usual DVDs, toys, lubes, and lotions.  The get local area has a clickable map of your area and displays members, groups, blogs, recently submitted magazine articles and advice, in your region.  Ok, I suppose that is kind of cool.

Overall the site is simple to navigate, not too busy has wonderful search capabilities (especially for the gold members).  Be sure to check out the magazine.  It is a really unique and interesting feature.  Again I love the fact that the site is not cluttered with ads and visuals, especially when you get further into the site there are not any.

If you want a really detailed search or matching capability and a really cool magazine feature… then  Outpersonals.com is the gay dating, gay personal site for you.

Happy dating and as always play safe.
