Gay Scene and Online Dating at Consonance (Gleichklang)
Consonance (Gleichklang) is a portal for psychologically grounded matchmaking for people of all legitimate sexual orientations. This naturally includes gay men, lesbians, and bisexuals, to whom we offer effective gay dating. Because within the framework of our psychological dating system, we ensure a high compatibility of our partner suggestions, which distinguishes us from many other dating sites, matchmaking platforms, matchmaking agencies, and matchmaking services.
Even though Consonance is not exclusively gay, lesbian, or bisexual oriented, we consider ourselves part of the gay community and are committed to the full acceptance of gay, lesbian, and bisexual lifestyles, including the rights to marriage and child adoption. Only complete and unconditional equality in all matters will end discrimination against gay, lesbian, and bisexual people.
Even though Consonance considers itself part of the gay community or the gay scene, we set special accents by focusing entirely on supporting an effective gay partner search.
The gay, lesbian, and bisexual matchmaking offered by Consonance provides an important alternative or supplement to the gay scene for all those who have not yet succeeded in meeting a partner for a shared life there. Through your membership at Consonance, you acquire an option for your future relationship happiness. Because there is that one person who is exactly right for you for true love — and at Consonance, you will meet him or her!
How does Consonance — a part of the gay community — see itself as a supplement or, for some, as an alternative to the gay scene?
The gay scene encompasses all actual or virtual places and contact points where gay men, lesbian women, and bisexual men and women meet. Transsexuals and transvestites also often frequent the gay scene. This is due to the higher degree of tolerance in the gay scene compared to “normal life” as well as the diverse contact opportunities available there.
The gay scene traditionally consists primarily of bars, cafes, and discos — in the gay male scene, saunas and sex cinemas are also included. However, politically and socially engaged institutions and contact points are also central to the gay scene, for example, coming-out counseling or AIDS support. In some places, there are also gay switchboards where one can have coffee and receive counseling.
The gay scene also includes open meeting places, such as the so-called cruising areas in public parks or at highway rest stops.
Numerous print magazines, which also largely offer opportunities for contact ads, are also part of the gay scene.
Finally, countless other service providers that are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or correspondingly gay-friendly oriented also form part of the gay scene — whether hairdressers, lawyers, or doctors.
In recent years, the gay scene — and especially the gay male scene — has increasingly moved to the internet. As a result, many previous meeting places, such as parks or saunas, have lost their appeal, and contact is increasingly made virtually at first.
On one hand, this has facilitated contact opportunities; on the other hand, there has been a decline in many traditional meeting places of the gay scene, which many certainly also experience as regrettable. In addition, there are people who do not want to put their photo online, so they are largely without prospects in partner searching via the internet.
While the gay scene offers homosexual men and women as well as bisexuals many opportunities to get to know each other and thus countless contacts arise, it is often particularly difficult in the gay male scene to meet a partner for a shared life.
One reason for this is that the gay male scene is strongly oriented toward outward appearances and quick sex, which does not facilitate the development of a long-term, happy partnership but rather sometimes even hinders it. Due to these characteristics of the gay scene, one sometimes reads “No-Scene” in contact ads, which shows that not all gay men feel well taken care of in the gay scene. The same applies to lesbian women.
A characteristic of the gay scene — and especially the gay male scene — is that there is a clear focus on the younger age range. Young age, well-styled, slim or muscular, and physically attractive are the characteristics that are popular in the gay male scene. Older people have a significantly harder time unless they want to resort to the escort or hustler scene.
Consonance supplements the offerings of the gay scene by creating an opportunity to search specifically for a partner for a shared life among exclusively serious searchers.
Due to exclusively paid memberships, there are no fakers at Consonance — instead, you meet gay men, lesbian women, and bisexuals who consider serious partner search to be of central importance. The matchmaking is based on a matching of lifestyles, wishes, needs, and personalities, so that at Consonance, as a gay man or lesbian woman, you will get to know exactly the person who truly fits you.
For gay men, lesbians, and bisexuals who have not yet found a partner in the gay scene:
Consonance will finally put an end to your being alone!
