The most popular gay dating site according to Hitwise, probably because the site doesn't discourage 'professionals' from signing up or that the site is totally free (although you can donate to remove all advertising from the site).

FindMen

Totally free gay dating site. Upload photos and videos, chat online or through your cell phone, and peruse other users easily with a lot of search options.

Free Gay Dating

Free Gay Dating focuses on gay men only, but their database ties into several other dating sites such as ManHunt UK and heterosexual Over 50 Dating London and GroovyDating.

Gay Dating SA

South African gay dating site for both men and women looking for all kinds of same-sex relationships. Can't view much without signing up for a free account, and the costs for service are hidden too.

Gay Dating

Focusing more on serious gay relationships than casual hookups or adult dating. Signing up is free, but watch out for the fine print in their terms of service: "All amounts you pay in order to have the right to access the Services are non-refundable. We do not issue whole or partial refunds, regardless of whether any of the Services have been utilized or whether you have canceled your subscription before its expiration."

Gay Matchmaker AU

One of the larger gay dating sites for Australian singles and couples looking for love, hookups or something in between. Also offers niche sections of the site to men looking for BDSM dating or transgendered people.

Gay Singles Online

Part of the TangoWire network of dating sites, all share the same database of users -- meaning lots of folks sign up here, but there's no guarantee how many are gay. Still, it's free to reply to member emails, so check it out and let us know what you think.

Gay.com

One of the largest gay dating sites with an equally large number of features. Offers specialized gay content such as videos, advice, forums, and events.

GKiss

Ensure the guy you're talking to actually exists by signing up with GKiss, one of the few gay dating sites that check all of their members for authenticity and can even verify their work, age, and income level.

Manhunt

Definitely a gay dating site for those wanting casual sex relationships. No chat, video, or instant messaging here, but you can post nude pictures of yourself if you so desire.

Men4Ken

Probably the funniest and lightest gay dating site on this list, Men4Ken actually have a series of Ken dolls displayed proudly on the site as member suggestions, showing users how they can define their relationship wants and needs through a simple picture and a few words. Must-see, although I'd check the fine print before sharing your credit card, as there's a no refund policy.

myPartner

Offers professional matchmaking services catered specifically to gay men and a matching guarantee for any member who purchases a multi-month membership.

Oh Mojo

Their tagline says it all: "Gay dating for guys." A low key site without a lot of bells or whistles. Best feature of the site? That you can search all the profiles before signing up (which doesn't take long anyway, but it's nice to see if there are people in your area first).

OutPassions

Totally free dating site geared towards gay men. Some great, unusual features not found at other dating sites, such as reader-voted best gay books lists, free gay-related videos to watch, and games to play by yourself or with other singles on the site.

OutPersonals

Geared toward gay and bisexual men, OutPersonals uses the same database as the other FriendFinder properties, and thus you'll see the same members too. High cost, but excellent search features.
