Subpar Results
June 6, 2017

Sadly, I feel I paid too much for what I received, $150 for 4 "unmatched" men. Nick was friendly and responsive; he just couldn't find me 4 matches I was interested in. Comparatively, FB matched me almost daily with more attractive, eligible men, in my area. You do get what you pay for... and this may be cheap in comparison but I'm better at this than they are - so disappointed.

Jeff, we thank you for being with Gayquation. We appreciate, value and consider all feedback from our clients, past and present, as we promise to continually improve our services and try to get matchmaking as close to a science as possible. With countless variables to control our matchmakers do the best they can with one's location, demographics and criteria. We are proud to offer the lowest price in the industry as we wanted our services available and affordable to everyone around the world. No robots employed here. :) Just matchmakers working tirelessly - locating and communicating with eligible men every day, on behalf of our dedicated clients. Thank you again. And we do hope you give us another opportunity.

A quick thank you to the GQ team for being on my team. I am looking forward to the future and you may be a big part of that. Being new to the country has made things challenging so this truly helps me in more ways than you can imagine. Keep growing and happy you are opening up to other parts of the world. It's defintely needed believe me.

Very affordable!
May 16, 2017

Gayqaution and their team are terrific! Unlike some of the other companies, of which I have tried several, they are very fair with their fee. Where others charge more than 10x, they are quite affordable, considering what they offer and the personal attention. I also appreciated there were no contracts so I felt comfortable. Thank you for freeing up a lot of my time, while introducing me to some quality men in my region. I am a busy professional so I do find it difficult to carve away time. Thanks again! --B

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.

Tired of apps
March 18, 2017

Recommended if you don't want to spend hours on dating apps and with convos that go nowhere. I am tired of Grindr and Tinder - hours with guys that go nowhere. They describe themselves as relationship headhunters. For $50/month it's worth it to me. It saved me a ton of time and energy

I have been a member for two years. The coaching service offered by Nick has been superb; very supportive and many good suggestions.

I live in Salt Lake City where there is a large gay population, but for unclear reasons the guys in Salt Lake City haven't responded very favorably to being contacted by a matchmaker.

51yo, was married for 18 years to a wonderful woman, 2 kids, newly single and OUT, not into the bar scene or boystown and havent dated a man - EVER. The phone sessions to me were invaluable. Thank you to my fellow Canuck/Greek, Nick... great coach. I feel more confident and comfortable dating as a middle aged man. Its not easy but baby steps. Im a slow learner but Ill get there. Thank you again. Efxaristo! Side note: afternoon dates have gone much better than the night ones for whatever reason.

I was a client back in 2013 and decided to return as I noticed several changes, including Instadates, momentum service and a more thorough vetting process. The interview as well ran over 1 hour - not pushy and plenty of time to discuss all your criteria. I have already been introduced to 7 men, went on 4 dates. Love is probably not in the air... yet! But I feel confident.

I also don't have to spend time on these apps (uhem... Grndr) which consumes so much of my week. I see a lot of value in that. It is a month to month membership which I feel comfortable with as well. I didn't sign up for the coaching but I did elect for the momentum service which provide me feedback from my match and matchmaker which I find useful.

I will update my review after a few more months and introductions.

Scam!
June 26, 2018

I took a chance with this company. The person who I dealt with which I believe is also the owner (1 man operation) was very nice and pleasant. Being nice is one thing but providing a service that is paid for is another. The first 2 matches that he sent he flat out told me that he did not think that I would like. Why send them to me? The other match was not interested in dating anyone. Finally the man working for the company told me that since I lived in South Florida it was extra work trying to match me. We have a HUGE gay community here. So that I did not understand. I stated that I was open to long distance. I went at least a month and heard nothing. Finally I received and email stating that he suggest I cancel my membership because he was having a hard time matching me... DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS SO CALLED MATCHMAKER!

Darren, we apologize that you had a less than stellar experience with Gayquation and appreciate your feedback. Please be assured every match is genuine, as they are screened and go through a thorough background check. Every match is Big Brothered by a minimum of 2 matchmakers, including one Senior. We have specific tools in place to make sure every individual is authentic and interested in connecting with our clients. If a match is discovered to have misrepresented then he is replaced as part of our guarantee. He does not count as an official match. Our matchmakers do a very good job of screening these individuals out as they must communicate with each one directly. Introductions are also replaced if the match is an acquaintance, does not meet all your deal breakers or communication does not begin – i. E. someone has cold feet or changes their mind. We continually try to improve our service with feedback like yours.

Just friends
March 22, 2019

Met Andres at a new year Eve party a few months back. Said he had a client that would love to meet me. I didn't believe him at first but looked into it and seemed legit, so fast forward ended up being matched to Clint. It didn't work out with Clint although we dated and are still buddies. Ended up signing up myself and was assigned to Nick. Being a Latin man, I wanted someone who was ethnic and could understand what I wanted in a guy. I'm stocky and very into travel and I wanted someone who was Latin too and a personal trainer or really into fitness (selfish I know but need motivation to work out and have fun and make it sexy). I have limited free time since I travel for work. Nick told me it would be difficult and would need to be patient. So after being given two matches that were cool but haven't went out in person to meet yet. I decided to broaden my requirements a bit and Nick and his assistant Julian searched again a d here I am having coffee with Abe. His six pack is to die for. He is smiling as im writing this and said tell the guys thanks.

Think I'm going to pause my membership and see where this goes but wanted to thank Nick and Julian and Andres too for their help. Will recommend them and Gayquation to anyone that's open to getting help by professionals.

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.

Don't waste your money
November 30, 2017

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.

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.

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.

Why not outsource this too...
March 17, 2023

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.
