Where to look

[esprix]

Having recently been dumped after an 8-year relationship, I find myself back in the dating pool, and it seems quite a bit has changed therein, specifically related to technology and social networking. So, to that end, I ask you all: Where/how are you meeting new people? Hooking up, dating, friends, community, whatever, I'm curious to know what networking tools/strategies gay men are really using these days.

I'm kind of thinking of these in specific categories, so here's what I'm aware of and/or used both in the past and recently:

Smartphone apps:

• Grindr
  
• Adam4Adam RADAR
  
• Jack'd
  
• BoyAhoy
  
• Maleforce
  
• Manhunt
  
• Gaydar

Online:

• Gay.com personals & chat
  
• Manhunt.net
  
• Adam4Adam.com
  
• Craigslist.org
  
• Yahoo personals
  
• AOL chat rooms

In person:

• Bars/clubs
  
• Community groups
  
• Friends of friends
  
• Yahoo Groups
  
• Google Groups
  
• Meetup.com

For the record I'm hardly new at the dating/relationship game, but having been out of practice for so long I'm just covering my bases making sure I haven't missed anything obvious, looking for tips and tricks (ha!), and hopefully coming up with ideas for other folks to use to expand both their dating and social circles.
