GayCupid is a dating site specifically for gay men (or men in general seeking gay experiences).
GayCupid belongs to a larger network of online dating sites targeting various niche markets that include PinkCupid.com (
GayCupid’s lesbian sister) and AsianEuro.com (for Asians and Westerners of every sexuality). As such,
Gay Cupid uses the same basic online dating templates for search, profiles, and communication tools as these other sites.
Bonus features include gay news, gay travel information, current gay scene updates, a gay Events Calendar, and advice on gay dating and online dating.
Gay Cupid can be read in English, Dutch, Finnish, French, German or Japanese. Platinum level members get a free translation service allowing them to communicate with people who speak other languages.
GayCupid is a PG-rated site and does not allow adult content.
GayCupid caters to the following types of relationships:
- Homosexual Men
- Bisexual Men
- Penpals
- Friendships
- Romance/Dating
- Marriage
