I have not seen it, but there was episode of the television science fiction series Farscape in which all the inhabitants of some alien planet were lawyers.
The way the media used to promote the Learn To Code meme, people were to presumably believe that there was going to be enough software development jobs such that everyone on our planet would be employed writing software for one another.

Spoiler Alert

There are not enough software development jobs for large segments of the Earth's population to be working for corporations selling software to one another.
This website is part of my pivot from individual contributor to entrepreneur.
Topics that this web page will cover:

What A Time To Be Alive
Zoom
If I Could Clone My Younger Self
Will This Website Have Advertising?

What A Time To Be Alive

For much of modern history, not being heterosexual came with significant stigma.
Depending on where you live, there still may be.
If you live in European Union or the United States, you may encounter individuals and organizations who are uncomfortable with your lifestyle, but you will not experience the overwhelming stigma of just a few decades ago.
If you are a citizen of the U.S. or a citizen of an EU member country, even if where you currently reside is not friendly to gays, you have the legal right to move to somewhere that is friendly to gays.
The business model of this website will be to charge a fee to find a match for gay men.

Anyone is welcome to be a reader of this website.
To be a client, you need to fit into one of the bullet items listed on the following web page: If You Are A Gay Man

Zoom

The business model of mainstream dating websites scales from the perspective of the website's owners, but not from the perspective of the website's users.
The premise is that a dating website would get a large of users, then the combination of algorithms and user action would pair up all the users.
In the early days of mainstream dating websites, website users and website owners may actually have believed that to be the case.
A service that I will provide is to interview each candidate over Zoom.
If someone is looking to do any one of the following, I will make a good faith effort to filter him out:

Foodie Calls
Years ago, I used to log onto internet dating websites and be amazed that within minutes some random woman would ask me to go to dinner with her.
It is more than a little embarrassing how long it took me to understand that these women were thinking:
"Any time of the day, I can just log on to the internet and convince some random man to buy me dinner at the venue of my choice."
As I slowly caught on, I went from being completely naive, to thinking that I understood the situation but that after meeting, I could convince a woman from a foodie call to be in a relationship with me, to eventually understanding that if a woman initially put me in a foodie call bucket, from her perspective, that is where I would always be.
Ego Validation
A great many people join internet dating websites for ego validation.
They are very much NOT open to having a relationship with anyone they met from the internet, but they want a stack of virtual fan mail
Outright Scamming
For just one example, as I am typing this text, in various locations around the world, however many scammers are typing to however many victims or potential victims that their uncle has shown them how to make a fortune in crypto trading.

If I Could Clone My Younger Self

Rightly or wrongly, I believe that I have some idea of what gay men are looking for.
I am heterosexual, but as a young adult I was pretty much constantly reminded of the following:

Gay men would tell me that they found me to be incredibly attractive.
Women of all ages generally found me to be incredibly unattractive because I was poor.
There were exceptions to this bullet item, but they were just that, exceptions.

I had blue eyes, bright blonde hair, I was not hairy, and I was physically fit by virtue of being young.
If I had been able to sing and dance, I would have been Michael Jackson's ideal version of himself.
I have no idea whether that is the only combination of features that gay men find attractive, but it would be simply impossible for the 2 bullet points above to have been any more clear.
Regardless of your ethnicity, I would love to have you as a client.

Will This Website Have Advertising?

While I do not wish to get caught up in some Sean Connery-esque "never" proclamation, my current vision is that there will not be advertising on the pages of this website.

Why?

How advertising on websites generally works is that the owner of a website gives a third-party advertising company the ability to place advertisements on a website.
The owner of a website may or may not be able to express a preference for what kinds of advertisements that he would prefer to see or prefer to see, but the advertising network may simply ignore those preferences.
Some of the advertisements that appear on a given website will range from merely misleading to outright scams.
