Just how sad is it? (Gay responses only)

While I've been afraid of this gay hole closing and have been meaning to farm /r/askgaybros for outrage or just dump spme sexy rule 34, I've thought that maybe I'll make a regular low-effort post first.

So I'm a bit bored of the apps. Some decent options and I get a good amount of matches (even if my skin is in crisis atm - my pics are still 👌). Good chats, some first dates, not a lot of seconds (mostly my choice)

I'm also trying not to age into one of those 38-45 year old gay cliches who are like 'I can't find a decent guy (chad) (but I'll never drop my standards and go out with guys who do match with me because I deserve better).

But I was wondering if I try my hand at gay speed dating? There are a few events near my capital city and after spending some time there, I was struck by how it's pretty fricking gay so I reckon there are a greater amount of options.

But how sad is it? To not only speed date, but gay speed date since if you really get over your inhibitions you can find easy butt to smash. And do you think it'll be regular losers who can't be successful on the apps or losers like me with moderate success but looking for a change of pace?
