In their own words: what GayOutdoors members have found on the trail and in our community.

To those of you who have been looking at the GayOutdoors website and are contemplating becoming a full member, read these testimonials from our members.

GO has definitely had a positive effect on my life. Not only have I enjoyed the social interaction with many other gay men, but I have also established a few very solid friendships with other GO members with whom I get together on a regular basis.

Tony — Kingston, Rhode Island

I've made some great friends through GO, and I've explored places I otherwise would not have seen. I'm glad GO is available and I'm happy to support it with my presence and membership.

Minh — Coventry, Connecticut

GayOutdoors was an affirming experience which I needed in my life. I am very grateful for the time spent with it.

It's been nice to meet other gay men who are kind, respectful, polite, and friendly.

GO listings help me realize I'm not alone as either a gay person or as an outdoors person in the Central NJ area. Even if I can't make events, knowing GO exists helps me learn about possible destinations and outdoors guys in this area.

Rob — Pennington, New Jersey
Member since March 2009

I have great respect for what you have created here — it is a fantastic resource to bring gay men together in a manner outside the standard bar, club, and hookup-site scenes. True friendships are able to be developed with GayOutdoors — a very valuable service for many gay men.

Gregg — Durham, New Hampshire

Makes possible the interaction with gay men in a healthy, safe, respectful environment. Very appreciative of that.

Morgan — North Egremont, Massachusetts
Member since July 2006

On the very first GO trip, I met people who quickly became very close friends. I expect these people will be strong life-long companions far beyond GO itself. I would recommend that my friends and any man experience events with this group at least once.

Mike — Braintree, Massachusetts
Member since October 2014

I've become more fit, and I've made lots of friends.

Michael — Greenwich, Connecticut
Member since March 2011

GayOutdoors has given me a platform to come out of my shell and be social. As an introvert, socializing has many challenges. Participating in an outdoors activity with a friendly group alleviates a lot of the anxieties. Thank you GayOutdoors!

Henry — Madison, New Jersey
Member since August 2010

Gives me a very positive feeling. I like being positive and in that atmosphere.

Joseph — Schenectady, New York
Member since April 2016

The fact that it is an all-male club is important to me! I spent 30 years teaching lesbians how to do the sports that I love because most gay men are not attracted to my sports. With GayOutdoors, I can find the few outliers who are interested in the same things that I am interested in.

The majority of new folks who come into Perfect Pace (San Diego GayOutdoors Group) come in via GayOutdoors.
