As title states.

But also, can I get some advice from the community? After a long while, I finally lifted the veil over my eyes and came to terms with the fact that I am totally and unapologetically homosexual. But I've been married for a long time so we're trying to make it work and just extend ourselves to polyamory. I've booted up a dating profile, but should I include that I am a baby gay? Do I include my open relationship? Or are those things to talk about in person? Any advice?

I've used a few.

The only one that ever led to meeting someone in person was Grindr, though, and it's pretty much just hookups nothing more (which sucks beyond the short amount of fun). Most people who match with me on more traditional apps like Tinder or even POF never respond when I message them, or immediately unmatch/block me.

I recently made a Fetlife account and actually looking forward to some meetups where I’m soon to be moving to. A friend recommended this to me as she’s having far better luck meeting people this way and can explore some new things. The negative part is the messages from men who don’t take the time to read profiles, but messages can be ignored and people can be blocked. It’s the meetups that seem to be beneficial for some people.
