Gay Dating in Modern Rural America

[@molipaul]

I think I was similar to you at your age. I’m an outdoorsman who loves trout fishing and gardening. I wasn’t into hookups and was not crazy about what I found in the dating scene. Now I’m 57 and life has passed me by. The last five years I’ve been taking care of my parents. My dad died 3 years ago after lingering around for two years after a terrible stroke. Now I’m taking care and living with my mom. Dad was always my best friend and fishing partner. I haven’t had the heart to go fishing since he’s been gone. Love skipped right over me. I’m not about to settle now for someone less than what I could have attracted when I was younger. I just try to be a good person and enjoy the things I like. If I outlast mom, I intend to move to southern West Virginia and just enjoy the seasons (esp. winter) and lots of stream trout fishing in the days I have left. Good luck to you.

[@akrenwinkle]

You'd be surprised who'd be interested in 57-year-old you, provided you're a good person, have a sense of humor, and are in reasonably good shape. And I don't mean kids with daddy issues; I mean men in your own age group, give or take. Your idea about settling can only hold you back.

[@andyroo9381]

I can relate. Love has passed me by, as well. I'm 55yrs old. Dated when I was younger but I always seemed to fall for guys who just didn't feel the same about me. I'm close to retirement and plan to move back home when I do retire. I'm tired of living in the city and crave the hometown life. Good luck to you. Good luck to me, for that matter! LOL.

[@headlessvamp]

Also in the gay community we need to work on not minimizing everything to JUST physical attraction, I think a lot of times we claim to be romantic but we will only be romantic with “pretty people” I get it because I want someone to look good with me but I have def open my heart to guys who looked pretty average

[@harolddavis2580]

. your a nice young man hopefully you will find the right person. Don't give up consider all the possibilities. I was in a relationship with a young man who was a "pretty boy" but that's all it was just superficial love. A couple of years after we broke up I met a much older man and what started as a friendship developed into love. We've been together now for 5 years living together for the past year and a half. I'm twenty nine he's fifty seven. We have an unbelievable relationship together I thank my lucky stars each day we found each other. Good luck

[@denniskaminski7006]

You'll find your mate when you least expect it. Go out, enjoy your friends. Be yourself. Don't press. Every gay couple I know, including me, found our partners when we we weren't expecting it.

With my partner over 20 years now. Can confirm this!

[@neorandy]

Here’s a tip from a 67 yo gay man who grew up in rural America. Don’t be surprised if the man you fall in love with isn’t exactly your preferred “type”.

[@louisdewit4429]

Here 65. That’s what happened to me at 21. Had seen him already couple of times thinking: So not …. Then he started ‘working in me’. Eventually i moved continent twice for and with him. No, we didn’t stay together. 21 Year old issues. Stayed the closest friends ever. Across ocean and sea. He died 30 years ago but had he not i’m 90% sure we would have teamed up together again. We talked about that already in our thirties but living in different countries, careers and legal status in those days being an issue, see how important same sex marriage is, that did not materialize. Now i miss him so. Love exists. And it is beautiful.

[@nomebear]

If you have a "type" list, it will get in your way of experiencing a wonderful person. Gays experience a lot of pressure to fit a norm, especially if you subscribe to the hype on the web. Be aware of it, and know that it's not the "real world", just follow your heart.

[@ajkleipass]

My rule of thumb is, "The good ones are either straight, taken, or not interested in having what I want to have." There's nothing wrong with being the way we are, it's just that our paths have yet to cross with like-minded guys.

70 form Kansas, I had someone in my life. We met in school when we were both 14 in a class then lost touch till highschool then he pursued me at 16 we stayed together for 15 years. Then on Thanksgiving day after spending the day with family he said he wanted to start dating woman, walked away found some women got married then showed up one day said he wanted to start seeing me again on the side as well. Long story short I haven't seen or talked to him in 34 years. Never really found anyone I felt the same about, now pushing 70 alone.💔

[@thischannelisbackon5679]

Living and growing up In the upper half of Alabama while being a semi-closeted gay man is extremely lonely. Its like im the only one of my kind, 24/7-365. Im not feminine,i have never been a part of the hookup scene. My masculine hobbies and "str8 camoflage" pretty much put me in isolation unlike those who "cant hide it", truly, i am envious of them. If i couldnt hide "being gay", id just embrace it an move on with my life. I truly want to come out, but with me and my non-existent partner to back each other up. Im 21 y/o man now. Healthy and eager I *cant* wake up one day as a 51 y/o man, doomed and destined on the path I never had. I *cant* wake up and realise my life has passed me by Im determined break out of the closet, as well as carry on my life goals aside from finding a partner. Im glad you made this video because it makes me hopeful that there's a chance of someone like me and who wants to live a life of love and beauty in a surrounding world thats void of it. I have a sense of hope because ive now seen I'm not the only one of my kind. Thank you

[@musicmoviesandmorewithbrian]

I just want to say that from an older man's perspective on this topic, it doesn't get easier to live life as a single man. I have had a few short-term relationships, but they all ended due to the guys being substance abusers or just plain not interested in coming out. I want to have someone in my life, but I guess some people aren't lucky in love.

[@feelingkevinly]

Thanks for making this video. I live in a city (Chicago) but I can relate to so much of what you are saying. I'm looking for something similar to what you are describing but it seems like not many people here are looking for the same. But the fact that someone else is feeling the way I am makes me think maybe there's a lot of us? I came across your video because I was looking to see what it's like to be gay in a rural community, sounds very similar to here lol.

[@Leftatalbuquerque]

Farm boy here, lived in Toronto for 35 years. I never found anyone from where I am from, statistics aside. The advantage of a city is that there is a range and population there that you would never find at home, Jimmy Somerville. Do you want to be stuck with the only option around you?

[@firefighter14530]

I can very much relate. I grerw up in rural NY as well, a small town south of Rochester. It definitely was not easy trying to find the type of person I wanted to find. I want someone who is not into the bar or hookup scene, someone who is proud of who they are, has goals and dreams, and wants a real relationship, someone to settle down and build a life with. It was simply impossible to find in the small town setting. I have since moved to a larger metropolitan area in southwest Florida (850,000 people), and still have a difficult time finding the qualities I want. I have come to the conclusion what I want simply does not align with the mindset of the majority of the gay community.

[@hanspeterfake3130]

Hey Jon, still interested in different opinions? I “disagree” with your question “should I adapt to the modern world”. You *should* do what *you* want, not what others expect from you, period. Don't care if others of your age are expected to have a ring on the finger or kids - it's your life, your decision, your path, and you do it in your and only your pace. Please keep that in mind because its super important! Also regarding the “modern world”: I think there was always a hookup culture, it just wasn't that apparent because it was frowned upon. People always had desires and sexual urges, I think the difference of our “modern times” is just that it's now okay to openly speak about it. This is the first video of you I watched, and it being three years old I'm eager to see how you do nowadays! Also I think you are cute 😘

[@crazypunkprince888]

Hey! This is a very nice video. Thank you for sharing your views on here. I like how real you have been, whether you had to share positive or negative thoughts about the culture. All the best and really wish you success in finding your true soulmate. :)

[@itsmiahtime]

I’m from the Adirondacks too!! The dating game around is rough! Love me the hopeless romantic 🥰

[@hothatchpa]

Hi Jon.. There is a lot I have to say about this. Sadly as long as there is shame there will be guys that can only handle hooking up. In fact they get addicted to that and they can’t get past it to see that there is more to be had. I want to encourage you to stick to what you truly want. Do not let these guys put out your fire. Just develop a really good filter and screening ability. I can tell you that it is absolutely the same everywhere BUT… there ARE exceptions. If there is you, there are others. I hope you find that.

[@GAYRURALGUY]

I totally agree. I don't want to say to much because I have a lot to add about what u said, and I'm making shorts to update people about my life in the past two years and the future

[@eullerlucas]

I'm from Brazil, I'm 27 years old and I find it difficult to form a strong relationship as a gay man, generally most people just want sex, and this frustrates me, being romantic as I am.

[@richardlong4706]

You video made me think about the difference between a couple such as Tyler and Todd and Matt and Blue. Both have successful, committed relationships. Whatever your expectations are I think it's important to have conversations about them, prior to falling in love with love--Mr. Romantic.

[@bradharper768]

Keep searching, I think being online like you are will help. You have a great and positive perspective on where you want to be with a relationship. I believe that will guide the right person to you. Of course an occasional fun hookup may also change the other persons point of view. Best of luck.

[@JeffHayes-c5h]

I don't live in the city either. Thanks for this video. I can relate totally.

I am 62 years still also a romantic. I don't like cruising and hookups. I like to share love og be living together with my husband. I did experience twice, sadly it didn't last but I am glad I lived in harmony and experienced to be loved in my life.

[@PsychedPerspective]

I understand completely. I too was in the closet nearly 26 years. I am over the hook up culture. Casual dating isn’t for me. I said I was non-monogamous to avoid getting overly attached to guys that don’t actually like me or want anything outside of sex and FWBs or messy situationships. I’m 30.5 nearly 31 years old and while I’m out the closet and have achieved some goals and bits of happiness. I do long for an actual loving 🥰 committed relationship with a partner. I want to come home to my guy, I want to watch movies and talk about our days together. Idk 🤷🏽‍♂️ just seems like I’m looking for a needle in a haystack.

[@vtjmproductionsusa2390]

Vermont Man here, You are a rare find, Don't change how you think, Your still young don't get caught up in what everyone else is doing, stay authentic, You will attract the right person who shares that special romantic outlook on life. I was blessed and have spent the last 26 years with my partner, Remember you have to be true friends before Lovers, Always remember to say please and thank you to each other., Always be Honest, Respect is key. Hold on to those values as tight as you can. and your relationship/ marriage will stand the test of time. Growing together and learning from each other is the most fun experience. You are a good Man and you will find the right Good Man or he may find you. Thoughts become things always choose good ones. Blessings to you. Always.🌈

Very interesting. I was born & raised in the Adirondacks. I came out at 18 in 1975 while in college there. There where 1 to 3 gay bars open during the next 3 years. While public places were conservative, it was easy to met other guys my age and date. I left the NY State in 1990. It is strange that your experiences in dating sound so much harder than I experienced 38 years ago. I am sorry to hear you didn't have an easy time like me.

[@dav7444]

You sound like me in my youth. Sure I'm not rural now, but I guess I was always the strong emotional one - the ones not just into sex like that. Been in a long term relationship for 25 years and yes I was blessed with looks. Easy said, but confidence really helps which I sadly lacked in my 20s.

[@nomebear]

When I travel back to Texas to visit gay friends, I'm shocked at how closeted they live as gay married couples. Many Texas gay couples married in N.Y. because they figured gay marriage would never happen in Texas. Their reasons for doing so were because of their joint land holdings and investments, and they felt they needed the kind of protection only a marriage license would allow. I'm really glad that I don't live in Texas.

[@HungTran-rz6zk]

Jon. You are absolutely cute. I am not the cute type but I can find one if I focus on that person. You just need to invest in yourself and go after what you want. It can happened.

[@dougmohney3545]

I live in the city on the Hudson. I've never felt flattered if someone just wants to hook up no matter the attraction. Turned off. I'm flattered if you want to go out on a date and hold my hand. I totally understand your view.

[@nootnoot9842]

Im not gay but Bi, but i here you man. I grew up in rural Wisconsin and its mostly closet cases/flings or you have to go to move closer to cities like milwaukee/madison/chicago like with my ex boyfriend.

[@NWG1961]

I grew up in a small town, too. I went to a big city, but it wasn't much better. I went back to a smaller city and found a partner. We moved to San Francisco, then onto Las Vegas. He married someone else, and now I live with them in the same house. There are a lot of twists and turns in life. You have to make to best of what's handed to you.

[@markfw54]

I wish you all the best. You my friend are a keeper. The right one will come along and you will know it. I too am a romantic, but it seems we are a rare breed in the gay world. I would love to have met someone like you back in my dating days. I live in Canada but as a kid spent my summers in the Adirondacks in North River. Absolutely love it there.

[@austinwatson2037]

No you share what most of us go through. We missed out on dateing in our teens becuse most of us where in the closet. They still have conversions camps and comkng from a religious family i couldnt come out untill i moved out. So it sets us back really and date/ hook up apps really are safe places for us to meet others because we dont have experience or still have fears. Most guys in my experience do want to settle down but only when there down experiencing what they missed out on and i think thats the reason you dont see alot of gay 20 yo in relationships or settled down

[@Nightbird.]

@@gordon7462 1. What "wrong impression"? KZbin isn't a dating site..and he never said "Contact me if you want to date me!". Which would be fine if he did..but he didn't. He is just talking about his life at the time the video was made. Which is what everyone on KZbin does. It was YOU who assumed this video was a dating ad. KZbin is filled to the brim with videos showing people at different stages in their lives and years apart. And those videos are still important and valuable. 2. He should leave this video up because it is a learning tool for rural gay people who struggle way more than gay people in cities or suburbs to find other gay people for friendship and dating. 3. He is exploring his feelings and what society expects of people..and the conflicts that can create. That is another learning tool for other young gay people who may be dealing with the same yet don't have the support structure he has. 4. Many young gay rural people commit suicide every year because they feel so alone and isolated and don't have any love and support from family or friends. He is teaching them that it's ok to be different and to stay true to what you feel in your heart. 5. You have NO RIGHT to ask ANYONE to take down a video just because you don't like it. What you feel or think or assume is YOUR business..not mine..not his..not anyone else's. Do what you want with YOUR life..but don't tell others what to do with theirs. People are going to get the "wrong impression" about many things. So what? Like RuPaul says: "Unless they paying your bills..pay them bitches no mind!" Keep on keeping on, Jon! 😉

I bet if I was a scrub, I'd probably find someone lol. I say that because I've seen it many times. I was trying to date this guy I really liked, he said he was feeling me too, at the end of the day it didn't work out. After about two months I get a txt from him, he wanted to borrow money from me to pay for his cell phone bill as well as the guy he was talking to, because the guy didn't have a job, I thought wow. I replied to him by saying kiss my ass.

If hooking up is what you want, thats all good. I had my faze. But if a relationship is what you want, you gotta stick it out till you find that 1 in 10,000 gay guys. I live in AK. Not alot to pick from here either. But i found my bf of 7yrs and we about to get married next year. Most guys just want to have sex, but like my bf and I, there are guys like you who do just want that old fashion relationship. Just dont give up.

[@OACDYCSF]

I can only repeat what others have said below. The important thing to do is to "be yourself." Work on becoming the man that you want to be and eventually, when you least expect it, that will take you to someone who will value you for who you are. My husband and I have been together for 24 years and we've been married for 10. It will happen. Meanwhile, have fund, stay safe, and don't betray yourself.

[@erpurpson4601]

I think you’re thinking too much about it. I also believe it’s possible that you’ll never find a man you want to be with who, in turn, wants to be with you. There are some serious geographical obstacles (number of men in your area). There are social and psychological obstacles (falling for closeted men) that go along with that. But…. I just celebrated a one year anniversary two days ago. I was either single, hopelessly in love with a guy who’s worst fear was people finding out about us, or worse, hopelessly in love with someone straight who never could love me regardless for 17 YEARS before this. I always knew I’d be a good boyfriend, but just never had the chance excluding some who just weren’t my type or acted in ways I didn’t understand and couldn’t help them with, or even tolerate. As time went on I accepted my fate of dying alone, and would sleep with one or two different guys one or two times a year. Every time i put myself out there and strived for something beyond that it was difficult and painful. Then, just a little over a year ago, it became easy. I still don’t understand it. I met someone who i get along with. Someone who’s my type. Someone I’ve been glad to see every time he walks in the door, and someone who’s call i have missed, but never ignored. I tell you all this for one reason, and it’s not to rub it in your face. Don’t try too hard. It will be easy when it’s right. Also, I’M GODDAMN SURE that you will find someone. You have goals for a successful life, find joy in simple things that others will appreciate (what kind of dipshit wouldn’t go for a Christmas light car ride with their boyfriend), and you’re adorable. Perfect mix of handsome/rugged/mature but still has boyish wonder. You’ll be fine. He’s out there and there are several just as good if you don’t cross paths. Just don’t waste time or feelings on anyone who doesn’t deserve them in the meantime. Of course, have sex if you want. Have sex with guys you can’t stand and want to leave immediately after if you want. You don’t have to “wait” for the man you want. You’ll be there when he does show up though. Good luck bubby. Hope you find each other fast.

[@howardkerr8174]

Good for you, seriously, for having a plan for your life and one that includes a modest amount of ambition. You shouldn't be surprised if you meet a like minded guy as you pursue your Masters and/or Doctorate.

[@danaknighte6820]

Cute and sweet, I wish I had known him earlier in my life. I’m from rural Tennessee and I can relate to him unfortunately my first relationship was with a man who was 16 years older than me, I thought my chances were limited, I didn’t think there were just 5 gays in the world.

[@danaknighte6820]

There’s just one more thing I would like to add to my comment. Most gay me are always on the look out for something better, I think most of us can agree on that. Many years ago I met these two beautiful successful men who to me seemed to have it all, I cried because I was envious of them, I wanted what they had. Soon after, I found out that one of them left the other for another man. Wow, that shocked me, I thought to myself, “there was a better man”? If you do find someone close to your age that you can love and make a happy life together, keep him, make it work. And never let anyone tell you age doesn’t matter because it does!!! Besides myself, I’ve seen many happy people hurt because when the older spouse starts seeing you as maybe not so new anymore, they will find someone newer and start all over again. I could write you a book on that subject alone. Hugs to you.

Brooo, you are cute af. in a different life time you would be my match 100%..i have been engaged to my other half for like 7 years, been together for 12 years and i am 38.. don't think about age and when you should or shouldn't settle down...

[@DRthistle]

Unfortunately I think it's unlikely to find a real mate in rural America. My advice would be to move or at least travel...you can always come back when you're ready but to catch fish you have to go to where they are.

[@GAYRURALGUY]

There's tons of men in rural America. The good men you can find. I'd rather choose someone with similar morals and rural culture.

[@DRthistle]

@@GAYRURALGUY I think that depends on where you are. I am merely stating based on my own experience. Moved from a town of 400 to a city of millions and met the dream of my life for bond that will never be broken.. (many years now).

[@garycooper9549]

[@johnmoon2734]

[@ChuckBaggett-n4g]

Hang in there. Being gay is hard. Gay relationships are even more difficult. Chuck

Ok!

[@donr6525]

God bless you for who u r.

[@donelookin3386]

Dont change and be like the masses. Dont sell yourself short. Make your own path and that will make you unique and make guys turn to you. You will be what they cant find. Cute guys... lol... cute guys can get laid anytime and anyplace and they tend to love themselves. find the right guy. Remember two things. 1. The best your relationship is going to be is when your dating... so if there are any issues then, they will be magnified when you commit 2. It doesnt start out as LOVE it starts out as lust. But most guys think they have fallen in love. When the lust dies they think they have fallen out of love. It starts as lust and when that dies and it will, then the work starts and you will then learn about and fall in love.

Perfect words

[@josephmay9945]

You are a very attractive man. Follow your heart.

[@josephmay9945]

I love too meet a attractive country boy like you. True attractiveness comes from the heart, and the love you share. Physical attractiveness is only skin deep. As we get older our bodies change. " Young pretty boys" only live day too day. Never giving any thought of the future. They are mostly stuck on themselves.

[@scottsmith-gm4lr]

Awe you're so sweet. I'd go out with you, but I'm in the UK 🇬🇧 you're a lovely guy ❤

[@Jerry-ms4og]

I'm single by choice cause I can't find guys who think like me.

[@donnieraveling188]

dont forget your cute too and you have alot to offer. I live in the city and it is just as hard to find stubility.

[@scottsmith-gm4lr]

Well I've been single for three years now, just looking for Mr Right, you know ❤❤

[@86breakfastclub]

[@RyanArmistead]

Such a cutie, don't rush it. Love will find you when the time is right.

[@knitterscheidt]

I'm sure he'll find a guy who'll rub him the right way...adorable young man

[@edgrossman8929]

Sorry you can’t find a serious guy. A stable relationship is awesome. I like a quiet life not the type of life I saw in the gay world. Old fashion no. Sensible. Hang in there kiddo

[@markstoneberger936]

You SHOULD settle down with one man because you deserve it. I don't have the right to suggest, but I'm thinking you might enjoy the city for a short time. You might meet more guys and actually find one who would move back to the country with you.

[@GAYRURALGUY]

I wish but I have a farm and business in the country.

[@postmoderncowboy93]

dude you're so handsome

[@ZatannaFan94]

[@PeterShieldsukcatstripey]
