What are the dating prospects for a gay, teetotaling, non-smoking, mildly conservativ

I am a gay 21 years old, about to turn 22, I have never been in a relationship.

Now obviously I wouldn't expect to, nor would I want to find a partner with all of the qualities mentioned in my question, but I would require at least some, for example I couldn't date a non-vegan or someone who drinks regularly or smokes at all.

I grew up with Christian values and even though I am now an atheist, it has shaped some of my morals, for example, I believe you should be in love before having sex and I am sure it would take least a month or two before before such a thing could be determined.

Politically I am neither ultra-liberal, nor ultra-conservative. Most people are probably similar, but my impression is that in the gay, and vegan communities, there's a very strong liberal bias. I want to transcend such conceitedness.

So where the hell should I start looking? I honestly believe that my values are so eccentric that I have little chance of ever finding what I desire.

Thank you.

Take all those things one by one and it's not unusual but I suppose that all of them together is a difficult one. I know this might sound a bit brave but have you considered typing them all into a search engine then adding 'meet' or similar word? You might come up with some sites with like-minded people. In fact 'I'll do it now just to see.

I AGREE you are too liberal .

You sound absolutely divine to me. If you were straight, I'd chase you down like the meat-free hot tie you are. You are not eccentric. Listen, I know several gay men with values similar to yours. My advice? Move to a university town with a diverse, cosmopolitan community of people. Take salsa classes. Join a animal rights group. Attend a Unitarian Universalist church. You will find men like yourself, I promise. Just be firm in your beliefs, never compromise yourself, and trust that the right man will enter your life. Believe me: He is out there and he probably feels just as isolated as you do. Good luck.

limited!

Maybe at the gym, or YMCA. Someone who is into the discipline of the body might catch your fancy. He might be into healthy living and not into toxins like tobacco or alcohol. The problem is he might be physically oriented and you sound like you want to date and spend some time courting a lover, not jump right into the sack. I could just be stereo-typing. I ha vent seen the inside of a gym in a long time and dint really know how people who go to them regularly think or act. Good luck!

I beleive you are to young to know what you want in this life. Search youself very deeply. You need to first understand youself.only then can you determine what you should do with the rest of your problems

there's always Mrs Palmer and her five daughters.
they may comfort you in your hour of need.

Well , I m straight, but my gay friends like me.
Dont worry about your relationships , they will come by the time. Maybe you are in wrong city. If you have these prospects, soon or late you ll find someone to be in gay relationship.
My gay friends never go at the multicolored gay clubs and they dint shake their @SOSes in public, but they have boyfriends.
Be yourself. Time will tell.

AC if you were straight, or I was a man ...

I would say your prospects are good.

Are they any support groups you belong too? That is a good place to start. Also maybe volunteering (Sp?) might help.

That are plenty of gays that fit your requirements for dating.

Honestly, I think you're going to have more problems with the vegan issue than anything else. You may want to loosen up and accept vegetarians or people who live a generally healthy lifestyle.

If you can't, may I recommend the community of Santa Cruz, CA? Huge vegan population, not too far from San Francisco, sounds perfect for you.

I agree with Diana B.
There is somebody for everybody. I am rather eccentric in my views too, but have managed to find a few close friends and sexual partners over the years.
When you find just the right someone, it will be so special that you will love that man all the more.
There are plenty of rather tame chat rooms and bulletin boards you could join, like this one. Change your profile here on YA so someone can contact you if they're interested.
Don't give up looking, and don't compromise your values.

well, stranger things have happened. I assume there is a fair number of gay non-smoking tee-totaling vegan mildly-conservative atheists. And, by a fair number, I don't mean six or seven, I'm thinking maybe in the thousands.

But, all the same, you might want to think about the noble art of compromise. Maybe it's just me, but if I found someone who agreed with me too much, I wouldn't like it. Good luck, though
