No sex in the city - New York City is one of the biggest and best cities in the world. With a population of over 8 million people living on the island of Manhattan alone, you think it would be an easy place to find a boyfriend. However, like most cities, good men are hard to find. And in New York, while there are an abundance of gay men to choose from, everyone is always looking for the next best thing. It is a highly competitive city, and with people always working and on the go, it is hard to make time for yourself - let alone a date.Growing up and spending most of my life in Atlanta, GA, in the South Eastern United States, I thought moving to New York 6 months ago was going to be the best thing that ever happened to my dating life. While I dated my fair share of men in Atlanta, I never quite found what I was looking for in a guy while I was there. So when the opportunity presented itself for me to move to New York, I thought that this was going to be my chance to meet a hot, cultured, smart and rich man. I figured I would have a boyfriend and be living in his fabulous penthouse in no time. I mean, I am cute, funny and smart. I have a pretty good job and am in decent shape, so while I was going on dates, they never seemed to work out.
The only real place I have been trying to meet guys is at bars here in Manhattan. And while I have had the occasional make out session, it has not led to meeting any quality guys. So in my quest to find a boyfriend, I am going to try as many different ways to meet men as possible. From online dating, going on blind dates, to even speed dating, I am determined to find a quality guy in New York. So, join me on my journey as I navigate through the myriad men that New York has to offer. I will blog about the good, the bad and the ugly of being a gay man dating in a big city. I hope you enjoy!

I think dating is hard anywhere you live. Can't wait to read about your adventures. Maybe I'll learn a thing or 2!

Dude, when I read your article, I thought I was reading my life description. Only, it happened to me in San Jose and now in Chicago (well, really Milwaukee, b/c, that's where I live). I almost feel like I should do the same thing you're doing in chi-town.

From just reading your article, you seem quite shallow and immature to be in any kind meaningful relationship.
Your criteria for commitment seems rather superficial and based upon a romanticized view of an ideal mate.
The question is, are you right for the kind of man you feel you deserve?
I already have my answer.

I couldn't agree with you any more. Kudos to you! You sound very concerning, practical, and I bet very sweet too!

Craig,
You know you need to head down to Rehoboth Beach, DE! Hot gay guys everywhere. They all take weekend trips from the cities. I'm from there, I'll give you all the hot spots!
Miss you,
Julie

Craig very good article I have at last settled in Orlando, Florida. I am 55 and still look hot and understand where you are coming from I have also been there. What is important is never giving up on yourself and never losing hope that works fine for me. Some day he will come into our live's wherever he is whats important is not losing yourself and not settling for less. ok go boy !!!!!

Fear of commitment, unwillingness to compromise, and wondering if there is an even better Mr. Right out there usually derails any relationship--especially when both members suffer from these same deficiencies. Then there is the "over 40" problem since 90% of gay culture is based on youth and looks and who wants to go from "twink" to "silver fox" or "daddy" when they're 41? The internet has simply created a candy store Wall Mart with too many aisles, too much selection, and too many off brands unless you are into Chinese prisoners. So, stop looking, keep your antenna up, and let Mr. Right find you. You don't need another half to be a whole.

We all have our requirements for Mr. Right. But those requirements may not be the Mr. Right we want eventually. Who doesn't want a sexy hot muscular rich cultural intellectual funny stylish..... boy friend or partner? But reality is what we can offer if this boy friend/partner exits. Sometime, we may like to settle for "a not so hot guy" because we don't need to compete with him or are afraid he will leave you. There are always something better out there. We will end up alone if we are always looking or chasing for something better. We need to learn how to appreciate what we have.

"hot, cultured, smart and rich with a fabulous penthouse"
Oh yeah, that's the stuff relationships are made of. Money, hotness and penthouses.

Mr. right is the childhood dream we all had. I too was your hot little glammar-boy. I thought I had Mr. Right for twelve years. I now have a man who loves me and me him. It is give and take on both parts. Remember Mr. Right is hot to look at. But what happens when you wake up. Ask yourself if he will be willing to support you should you happen to get hurt and loose your job? Will you do the same?

Hey Craig:
Consider carefully what you want to acheive in your quest. Good guys can be just about anywhere you look if you are ready to see them. It seems the thing about dating is without thinking about it you can put yourself on a really grinding treadmill that won't lead to your happy ever after scenario. All I am trying to say is be honest with yourself and don't expect too much from a potential partner. Happy lives aren't instant lives - don't expect to be handed the 'Brass Ring'.
Try to find a good guy who you can build a life with. Best of luck to you - I hope you find the life that fits.
