I wish I knew. Grindr and Scruff are absolutely terrible the past few years. Especially if you don't live in Shadyside or Squirrel Hill or idk what the next trendy neighborhood is. When I lived in Columbus I started a litter sweeping group and met a few guys that way.

I'd recommend volunteering or hobby group first to make friends, and then go from there. I haven't made the time for anything this year due to a crazy work schedule but I probably will now that things are slowing down.

Also, there's a LGBT singles meetup group that meets once a month. They're meeting tonight at a Halloween event if you can make it. I have gone to their events before and they're pretty solid.

The very first one I went to was a Friday evening Warhol Museum trip with dinner afterward. I made a couple friends there. They've done some wine tour near the Strip I believe, a North Park full moon night hike, queer cinema get-together, etc. Kenny plans some really cool things and it's well-organized. Unfortunately sometimes the notifications go out waayyyyy late so definitely subscribe to that group and stay on top of the invites. I won't be able to make the zombie thing tonight so hopefully something good pops up again next month. Also, it's not all guys. I think it's usually like 60% men, 40% women, thereabouts.

Yea that's awesome they do something different throughout the year, I was worried about the organization of it but you make it sound pretty good and smooth. I also like that it's a good mix of the community, I'm a gay man but I enjoy hanging out with everyone, also makes sparking conversation a bit easier. Thank you for this, I'm looking forward to going to one, probably not the zombie event but the next one
