Happy thus far to outsource finding dates to a real person as opposed to robots at match.com. Easy to communicate with my matchmaker who understood my needs quite well. We literally had a 2 1/2 hr fun and insightful interview. Appreciate the time spent with me. Crossing my fingers. All else hasn't worked so I said why not - try a new approach. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And bonus - it has freed up some of my time. Best, David.
I tried to join their service and was left stood-up waiting for the matchmaker to call me. If they can't even follow up with a phone call when they say they will, can they be trusted to do any legitimate matchmaking? Don't bother.
I am writing this review to thank Gayquation and Nick especially. I had been on the market for a long time. I tried meeting guys through friends, speed dating, gay events, and online. I found that I was not meeting any real prospects. I was really discourage. Then came Nick. He had me fill out a long questionnaire about what I was looking for. He then interviewed me for 90 minutes to get to know me better. Then, he produced a guy that could have been made in a lab for me. As my partner and I got to know each other, we figured out that we were compatible in more ways than just the topics on the questionnaire. Even my friends who understand my dating challenges, were amazed at how our story turned out. My partner and I have been living together for six months now and we are VERY happy. I can't say enough positive stuff about gayquation and Nick. They do a great job and are well worth the what I paid for the service. I feel like what I got back more than made up for it. Don't give up on love. Give gayquation a try.
Almost honest to a fault Gayquation does spell out its entire process on their website, which I am appreciative of. It's probably the most thorough and detailed site I've seen and I've seen many. Please note if you're looking for a traditional matchmaking agency, they are not that but effective. They do not only match you to other clients within their network but also, as they put it, head hunt in as many as 100 resources. I would rather gladly put myself in their hands then have to go out there in the Internet ether with little to no results. Why not just have them do the work, I said - with a raised eyebrow. And after only 2 months I am happy that I did, gladly not having to sift through endless profiles and communicate with gentlemen that are genuinely not interested in anything more than a romp in the hay. The one slight I have, which is obviously not their fault, is COVID-19 has put a damper on possible real time dates. But once that cloud is lifted I have a couple of high chance possibilities lined up for me. Wish me luck!:-)
On a side note, wishing everyone to remain safe and healthy during these crazy times.
Stay safe and healthy too, Laval and to all of our clients and their families around the world.
This matchmaking service is a waste of time and money. After reading so many positive reviews I had strong hopes that this service was legit. Now having experienced them for myself I can't help but wonder if these positive reviews are fake decoys meant to convince others that this service actually will work for them.
After several months in total I got four matches - two of which weren't even remotely my type, which seems to negate the whole purpose of using a "matchmaker", while the other two matches didn't even respond when I reached out to them. This after the matchmaker told me these guys were interested in meeting me. Fortunately I had the good sense to quit before I got charged for another month. I've had much better luck on other websites and have had multiple coffee dates taking the initiative myself instead of using a third party.
Bottom line - yes, online dating is hard, but you're better off trying to find online dates on your own than using this particular service. You'll save yourself a lot of heartache and quite a few bucks from your wallet.
Thank you Robert for the feedback. It is appreciated as we continually try to improve our services for our clients. We realize that this not tangible item we are ordering off Amazon but we try to make it as close as we can to it. :) Please know that every deal breaker our clients give our matchmakers must be met as part of the Gayquation guarantee. If a deal breaker has not been met, for example radius, height, educational level, etc, the match is replaced. The interview process is integral for making sure we understand every non-negotiable trait. Most potential matches are rejected for that very reason. Our matchmakers spend a considerable amount of time during this portion of the process as they screen and communicate with countless men on our client’s behalf. As we continue to enhance our services, while keeping our rates the lowest in the industry, we hope you give us another try in the future.
Momentum and coaching services were very helpful to me. Thank you for the guidance and navigation. Soooo frustrating dating as a gay man. I appreciate you guys being in my corner. Very professional.
Thank you for the review and putting trust in our matchmakers and matchmaking process. Happy New Year!
While I've never requested service from gayquation, I have profiles up on several dating sites and apps while I'm single and I get hit up often by profiles that end up being guys from gayquation. Their profiles read like someone looking for themselves but then they send a form response stating they are a matchamker (and the cheesy tag line of "they do exist", creepy). So, immediately, it feels shady because you think someone is interested in you but they are just trying to get your attention. This company goes out to all the apps and sites for the area you are in or moving to and asks guys if they can introduce them to you. If you want to pay someone to do that, fine, but just go put profiles out there yourselves for free. Trust me, after having interacted with this company on many occasions, they arent doing you any favors. My profile is very clear on what interests me in a guy and they dont read any of it. They are just throwing the hook out there for you without doing much work at all. Ive even had them send pics of guys who are already on the website they are contacting me on. Just be aware of what service you are getting and happy hunting.
Thank you for your review and feedback. We continually make improvements because of them and it is much appreciated. Our matchmaking services do fulfill different needs and one being the busy professional who does not have the time or energy to screen for and vet quality LTR-seeking men. Our matchmakers do scour everywhere (and we mean everywhere), from meetup groups to personal sites, in order to find matches that fit our client's needs. No robots are employed here. :) Every matchmaker literally screens, reaches out and background checks every prospective match. More of where we look and the process can be found here: http://www.gayquation.com/targettouch
Big thanks to the team by including me in your growing network in Singapore and the Far East :) SGP has come a long way in LGBT rights and we appreciate your efforts in helping moving that along. Progess may seem quite slow, but historically speaking - it's moving quite fast. Thank you again and look forward to post-Covid dating and travel.
Thank you for your support. We feel the same about the open skies now. :)
So far been with them for two months went on 1 date but met 4 men. My matchmaker Andres is very accommodating and I can't wait to see who they send me next. Thanks guys
I want to stick up for these guys who are trying to find needles in a haystack. This is not easy fellas! Cmon now. And my haystack is small with all my wants. My go-tos are Tinder, Realjock and GQ
Hugs back Christopher! :)
Geez really? Ok, need to clarify this: I originally had a profile up on POF and Andreas (a Gayquation Senior Matchmaker) approached me and asked if I wanted to be introduced to his GAYQUATION client Jonas. Andreas sent over his pic, I said he sounded interesting and to set up an instadate. And THEN later I signed up as a GAYQUATION member. So this review is not of POF. I will review them seperately as I have been on their site for awhile and its hit or miss for me.
Was approached to be a match on plenty of fish to one of their clients. Read the site, sounded good. Signed up and interviewed with Andreas, cool guy and easy to talk to within 2 weeks maybe sooner I was introduced to 2 guys both sexy and fun to be around. Next guy was not my type let Andreas know I'm not into blonds then after that he made sure to send me the type of guys like a guy next door type. So far I have had a good experience, month to month so no complaints there. I am still waiting for them to send me the love of my life so thats why only 4 stars but I'm having a great time dating who they send till my future husband comes my way. Thanks guys keep up the great work
Tip for consumers:
If you are chosen to be a match, just know these guys are legit. I was skeptical at first but did my homework. They are very friendly and an actual business just online only and by phone I think. But for guys matched to clients its free. If you want them to search for you you have to pay a membeership fee.
Thank you kindly for your review. We are really hoping to have chance to welcome you back in the near future, especially with all the amazing new features we have added in recent months.
Contacting me ask for my info saying someone's interested in me and then giving me no Response after
Thank you for your review. Please note all of our matchmakers are required to respond to our clients within 24 hours. If a match changes his mind or has cold feet, he is replaced per our guarantee. Obviously, we make sure we put you in front of genuine LTR-seeking men that are interested in connecting, but many variables come into play when we headhunt for potential matches outside the network. Hence, we instilled our Match Guarantee so in the event someone does not communicate, he will not count as an introduction. First, our matchmaker reaches out to the match to attempt to jump start it. If he does not hear from him, with a valid reason within 48 hours, he is rejected and replaced. Along with non-communication starters, anyone who misrepresents or an acquaintance is also replaced. Every match must also pass our background check. By listening to our valued clients, like yourself, we try to make our service as tangible as we can.
I was assigned to Nick P. As my lead matchmaker. My second matchmaker, Greg T., was not on our first call/consultation and interview but apparently he assists my lead in screening for matches on my behalf. I have to say I have never had a consultation run as long as it did. I was referred to by a close friend and he did tell me that Nick will spend hours if need be with a potential client. There is no hard sale. He literally seems to enjoy what he does and speaks with such passion, and yes, with a business plan approach to dating, which I think, especially with men, resonates. Particularly to me and my STEM career and background. I appreciated the nuanced approach to the numbers and my chances as I do not live in or near a metro city and I am over the age of 50. While vernacular like market size may not appeal to everyone I think it's refreshing to get, even if blunt, honest feedback without any sugar coating.
I did speak with other agencies before joining gayquation and many things turned me off like not listing their prices on their site (bad sign! Usually in the $1000's) or during consultations giving me unrealistic expectations without even asking questions about me. I found that odd. With Nick P., I felt comfortable during our consultation I would be in good hands, even if the perfect match did not come about. I outsource certain tasks to experts in my business so why not do that in my personal life, I thought to myself. I think of it like small investment ($200/month) as I just do not enjoy the apps, nor have time to sift through profiles and move conversations along. And truthfully I am bad at it.
Thus far, Nick P. And his team is doing that for me. As a 50-something year old gay man, a little help is a lot of help. I will give another update a few months in but thus far I appreciate the hard work they have put in on my behalf. I realize they do scour everywhere, including their own Db. My first several matches, while nice guys, were not a fit long term. One though became a friend. We in fact joined a meetup group together recently. I do not have any gay friends so it has been refreshing.
Note: I did not elect for the coaching but may add it in the future. I believe they have another add-on but it did not seem useful to me.
I advise you to have a phone consultation (mine ran for 1 ½ hours) and I believe Nick P. Is the one that conducts them.
Hope this helps.
Tip for consumers:
Do request a consultation via their website. They will return your email quite quickly. Mine was answered in less than 24 hours. My friend elected for the coaching addon and while second hand he is pleased with it thus far.
I was quite hopeful in signing up with Gayquation.com as it appeared to be a novel approach to finding quality guys. Wow, was I disappointed. I was assigned a SENIOR matchmaker but for various reasons it all fell flat. First of all, I received very few referrals and, although I completely understand that good matches cannot be guaranteed to occur, the referrals I got were nowhere near compatible. One referral claimed that he was stuck in another country on business and wanted me to wire him some money. Another 3 referrals never bothered to respond to me despite my very long, detailed and quite revealing emails to them. Other referrals had wrong information in the profiles provided to me ranging from the wrong age, wrong interests, and even wrong sexual position (which, really, is important and crucial in having a lasting relationship). I sent more than one very specific email to my matchmaker and asked very pointed questions. NONE of those questions ever got answered and it has now been months since I sent them. The only response I keep getting are canned answers such as "it's difficult" or "I'm trying really hard". How about at least verifying the information on the guy's background? Ideally, speak to that person and confirm the information you're about to send to me. If you don't speak to that person, how is it that the matchmaker is able to say things like "I found John to be sincere and honest"? You can't get that kind of impression just reading someone's bio. You need to actually speak and interact with that person. Or, at the least, how about sending a draft of what you're about to send to me and ask the guy "I'm about to send the attached to John. Is all the information in it correct to your knowledge?" It seems like all of my questions, and all of my comments and suggestions, were completely ignored. I highly recommend that you stay away from this site and save your money. Frankly, it's pretty much of a scam. For the monthly payments you make, you'll be sent referrals that are unlikely to be any guys of value. You'll probably, like me, get your hopes up and think "Hmmm, maybe I should just stay with Gayquation for a bit longer just in case the next referral is a good one" Well, I tried that and I have to say that all of the anxiety and hassle I endured for the few months I was a member actually made my life WORSE in having to deal not just with sketchy referrals, but with a matchmaker who was non-responsive and ineffective.
Thank you Ross for your review as we take every one quite seriously and make changes to help improve the services we offer. Gayquation does it’s best to provide quality introductions for its clients every month – in fact they are guaranteed, something many matchmaking agencies do not provide. We are proud to provide that guarantee and one reason for that is because we do venture outside our database to qualify eligible men on your behalf. The LTR-seeking gay male population is very small, as we know, so like headhunters we go find them, wherever we can. Rather than the “old school” approach of matchmaking we do not force client-to-client intros who may not have anything in common or have what you’re looking for, physically and personally. If they exist, we will find them!
I do hope you give us another opportunity, especially with all our new improvements and added features – while still the same low price that we have not increased in several years and will continue to remain.
