Do you think so?

When I was single I had no trouble, so I don't think so. I have this manager that is straight that can't get a girl to date him for nothing. I think it's funny that a gay guy like me can get a date quicker than this straight guy. I think it's because we as gay people have less of an outlet for which we can find other gay people, so we get kind of desperate and just date anyone that's good looking. Fortunately I have gotten lucky enough to find good looking gay guys to date me. That's why I'm not single and I have a gorgeous handsome man that I'm in a relationship with now. So I think its easier for us. Sorry Breeders!

yes. Think about it. First of all, we only have about 5% (i'll guess) of the population to work with.
Also, consider this. Every straight guy doesn't automatically date every straight girl that he comes into contact with. Let's say that about 5% (estimating again) of every person of the opposite sex is compatible as a potential date.
Also, many people are in relationships, we'll say 20%.
Transfering that over to homosexuals.
We have 50% of the population to begin with (since the other 50% is the wrong sex)
Then, let's assume that 5% of those people are compatible as a date.
Then let's assume that 20% of those people are currently in relationships.
Then we are left with .5% of the population that is single and compatible.
sucks huh?

Sometimes it is; we not only have to deal with is a person single or not, are they an axe-murderer or not, are they a child molestor or not, etc., we also have to figure out if they're gay or not, or a homophobe or not. In some situations we have to worry about getting actually physically attacked if we make our feelings known to the wrong person, so in some cases yes, it can be harder. When in a situation where you KNOW you're dealing with gay or gay-friendly people though, I think it's just about the same as it would be for heterosexuals.

For me, being a very feminine lesbian, it was kind of hard for me to find a date (when i was single) because no one could visually tell that i'm a lesbian. But as soon as i went to gay parties/clubs or events.....not hard at all. My 2 best friends (who happen to be straight) they keep an eye out for me too! LOL. That's how i met my current girlfriend (of 2 yrs). My bestfriend called me & was like GIRL u have GOT to see this one.....
The rest is beautiful history.

No, the gay community is all about finding the right person. A small group of friend may have already dated someone and liked them, but they weren't the perfect person. In a gay community, they will tell you an ex would be a great match fro specific reasons. In the hetero community, its taboo to date anyone who has dated a friend.

Homosexual men can have great difficulty depending on who they are and where they look. The mainstream gay scene is obsessed with age, looks and status, and this can alienate older or less attractive men.
In addition: homosexuals who are outside of major towns/cities have to rely on the internet, or travelling into a large town/city to stand a chance of meeting other likeminded people.

It depends on where you are living. If you are in a smaller town or community, or a more conservative area, the chances of a queer person easily finding a date are slimmer. However, in larger cities, communities and urban areas, the likelyhood of finding people to date increases - not just because there are more people in general, but because often LGBTQ people flock to these areas (because they were isolated in their smaller communities, or for other reasons).

It's harder for the LGBT community definately because it's not always obvious who is gay and who isn't. You need to be in the right place at the right time.

I haven't had a problem finding dates. The toughest thing is trying to get a "straight" girl to date you and be okay with it!

Unless you are in a club where you KNOW people are gay, i think it is harder. It is not like we have signs around our necks saying we are gay. It takes alot more patience on our part
