Gay men with years of experience in the dating world shared their words of wisdom on Reddit recently after a user solicited “the best dating advice you could give to a single guy in his early twenties.”Here’s a smattering of responses — some jaded, others romantic:“Don’t worry about anybody else but yourself.
Focus on yourself, your mental and physical health, your independence, your wellbeing. If you are happy and healthy on your own, you’re less likely to look for outside sources to fix ‘inside’ problems.
Being selfish about yourself is the most selfless thing you can do in the long run. I wish I understood this sooner. I wasted so much time but luckily still figured it out early enough to get on the right path.”Related: Gay men reveal.
