Gay Matchmaking Mixer

Meet three curated matches while enjoying a beer, cider, or seltzer.

Welcome to your new, elevated dating experience.

Speed Dating is efficient: meet everyone quickly. And that format already exists for gay men through companies we love, like Met Through Friends.

So, we made something new: a matchmaking mixer.

Don't you wish you could walk into a room of forty guys and know who your best matches are? Now you can. When you fill out a profile before the event, we select and introduce you to the three men most aligned with your lifestyle and preferences.

This event is for: men who date men and are between the ages of 25 and 45.

Event Flow:
6:00 Attendees Arrive
6:15 Welcome & Instructions
6:30 First Mini-Date
6:50 Break 1
7:00 Second Mini-Date
7:20 Break 2
7:30 Third Mini-Date

7:50 Open Mixer

Important Note: You must create and complete a profile here in order to be considered for curated matching.


Let's be real, we know that two bottoms could meet and have amazing chemistry. And many long-term couples make it work without perfect compatibility. We also know that it can be a bummert to hit it off with someone for a few minutes to later learn that you have completely different life.

We look at everything: relationship type (monogamy, open, poly, etc.), position (top, bottom, verse, side, etc), family planning, religion, politics, lifestyle, height, race, age, interests, values, physical preferences... the list goes on. We consider all of these factors and more when selecting your matches.
