Seriously, where are the best places to meet another gay man? There are no gay bars within 80 miles, besides they are all smoke filled and I'm allergic to tobacco products. It's been lonesome after both my really good friends passed away this year. I'm eager to start working on developing a serious relationship.
Those web match-maker sites? Been there -- done that.
Used to do volunteer work years ago at a gay men's health clinic but now live too far away to drive for a two-hour stint.
All worthwhile ideas would be most appreciated. Thank-you.

Visit the local Metropolitan Community Church or any United Church of Christ that calls itself 'open and affiming' or Methodist Churchs that are 'more light'... you may meet a nice guy there!

Hey I know how you feel. Mostly other gays will live in metropolitan areas just because it's convenient to meet other people there, andthere are many more opportunities and acceptance.
If you're not in a metro area, the best bet is the internet. I know, it gets old and can be stale, but there are great resources on there. Instead of going to those traditional websites, like the sleeeeeezy gay.com, try downloading the Stumble Upon toolbar. Change your preferences to accept "R-rated sites" and then add gay culture as what you'd like to explore. then click Stumble, and it will take you to random websites to help you explore gay sites and areas. Many of the sites include non-traditional websites like downelink.com and connexion where you can meet people who are interest in friendship or dating (no hookups). Other resources would include your local gay newspaper if available.
Of course, there is always waiting until a local pride! I joined a couple social groups there, and have met a few friends through that.
Try looking for other social groups online. Sometimes the best way to make new friends is by joining an interest group. There are sports groups, hiking groups, cooking groups, spiritual groups, etc.
How about enrolling in a class? There might be something at your local community college that offers classes attuned to gay interests (such as...interior design? haha).
And for my next miracle...I'm going to turn water into funk!

I am going to list some ideas you've propbably already tried and hopefully some new ones:
1. Gay.com
2. Myspace.com
3. Manhunt.com
4. Starbucks. Coffee, anyone?
5. Bookstores. Try the homosexual area....it just might work.
6. CraigsList
7. Volunteer work. Google the city you live in and see what gay outreach centers are near.
8. Planetout.com
9. Gay Concerts. If you're gay you know what I mean by this. Madonna *coughs*, Cher *coughs*, Clay Aiken *coughs*
10. Wait it out. Sometimes love will come knocking on your door.

No differently than a heterosexual relationship. Gay chat rooms, advertise in the personals. Have a gay friend that goes thru the same turmoil as straights. One guy was married, one was just horny. He is looking for a lasting companionship and is finding mostly losers and he is in a large gay community. The bar scene is not the way to go, according to him. Just be patient,there is someone for everyone and good things come to those who wait .

Lebians reasons for hating straight men: They were raped at a young age. They dated a bi girl and lost her to a straight man. My relationship is proof of that. Lesbians might just hate straight men just because they never got a chance to date a guy in school because of being bullyed (like my woman's ex). Some lesbians will manipulate straight women into turning lesbian and vice versa for men. And if course being threatened by men.

How about trying to find an open and affirming church? You find some nice gay guys at church.
