Easy to Use

The site is easy to use, and if you are keen to embark on hookups, even the minimal profile information will whet your appetite.

You can search through the GuySpy site based on a variety of headings that are listed, alongside colorful buttons:

Events & Travel. This gives details of forthcoming events, competitions, or shows that will be of interest to the discerning clientele. There's everything here from beachwear contests to festivals celebrating hot Mexican guys!

Celebrities & Gossip. As the heading states, news and salacious gossip from the world of celebrities and prominent sports personalities. Example items: Harry Styles displays his support for the LGBTQ+ community, highlights of Cher's Twitter feed, a piece about Shawn barber, Canadian Olympic pole vaulter who is "gay and proud." All these articles are written in easily-digestible chunks while containing enough information to provide a compelling read.

Health & Fitness. Excellent pointers and videos about aspects of keeping your physique trim, as well as sage advice about HIV treatment, and many other areas.

Entertainment. Halloween costumes. Book Lovers Day. There are numerous interesting topics under consideration.

Gay News & Politics. Many current and historic articles on subjects as diverse as same-sex marriage in Germany, and the possibility that Jesus was a gay man! These balance intelligent discussion with a more light-hearted approach.

Gay Dating. Advice for singles who are embarking on the search for their ideal soulmate or one-nighter. How to kiss better. Recommended hookup apps. A guide to taking the most desirable selfie.

Contests. Opportunities to win albums and a whole lot more.

Culture & Identity. Focusing on worldwide pride events, world naturist days, and other subjects of interest.

Gay Porn & Sex. Captivating articles covering a multitude of topics, from Tom Daley’s speedos to the allure of a glory hole in a Californian college campus.

Aside from these blogs, the core aspect of the site is providing a platform for interaction. You can message the users who get your pulse racing and wait for the intimate connection to unfold.

Search Functions

The search function is based on filtering drop-down menus that will create your ideal wish list. First up, you can check out the 'Find Guys' heading. This is sorted according to All Guys, Online Guys, Fresh Meat, or Online with Video. Next, you specify your ideal age range. Thirdly, you can narrow down your preferred location up to 25 miles away (the in-built MyGuys algorithm will already be producing the contact details of those site users who are closest to your current location.) The results of this search will be provided in a grid format, or as a super-handy map location. It has to be said that this geo-location technology is excellent, and the fact it is accessible before going through the registration process is a real enticement for the casual browser to develop into a committed member!

Once you become more familiar with what’s on offer, you can search by username.

Profiles contain a photo (mostly) together with details on ethnicity, smoker or not, drinker or not, tattoos or not – the usual cross-section of attributes.

As well as searching for guys in your neighborhood, you can cruise for subjects further afield, broken down into ‘no nudity’ or ‘only nudity.’

Safety & Security

GuySpy aims to look after the security of its members by using encoded data. It also reminds them of the need to take a degree of personal responsibility. If they are unsure of any activity on the app, they can contact customer support by completing a web form.

Summary

GuySpy aims to look after the security of its members by using encoded data. It also reminds them of the need to take a degree of personal responsibility. If they are unsure of any activity on the app, they can contact customer support by completing a web form.

The fact you can upload multiple images in one fell swoop is another admirable feature. Together with the overall relaxed feel of this site and ease of navigation, the profiles have a uniformly welcome and accommodating nature.

Another outstanding feature of GuySpy is the extensive blog section. This is crammed full of interesting information, making you feel as if you’re part of a vibrant community, and not just hanging around on a dating platform searching for soulless hookups.

Questions & Answers

Is there any photo verification?

There's no verification of photo ID. Instead, GuySpy relies on general guidelines as far as sexually explicit or nude photos are concerned. These are permitted but will be labeled 'hot,' and won't display on the app. You'll need to log in to the desktop version to access 'hot' images.

Can I delete my account?

The moment you find a match or decide you aren't happy with the service and are ready to move on, you can easily delete your account. You have the option to deactivate this temporarily, so you have the option of reinstating this after a cooling-off period. Of course, if you would prefer a clean break you can delete your account altogether. Go to your account settings and select the 'Deactivate Account' option.

How do you block another user?

If you are being pestered by someone who just isn’t taking any of your tactful hints, then of course you have the option of putting a stop to their attempt to interact. Look for the three dots below their profile image, then select the appropriate option.

Can I see who has liked me?

Yes, you can, although this is a premium members option only.

How do I cancel my subscription?

An auto-renewing subscription can be canceled at any time. Your premium membership will stay active until the end of the subscription period that you agreed to purchase. To ensure your membership is canceled, contact customer support via the appropriate webform.
