“BEWARE OF TERMINATING YOUR ACCOUNT”
Written on: 08/05/2013 by assin9
I have just been infomred by this company if you make a paid memebership you will automatically be renewed every 3 months and charged directly to your account. It doesnt end automatically you must do it in writing. Its a ploy to make them more money BE AWARE (read more)

“Love it”
Written on: 30/04/2013
As far as I know, this is the only gay dating site that uses this sort of matching system. I’m not saying it’s necessarily the only way to go, but it’s worked for me so far. I’m too busy to look at profiles and try to read past the pictures to try and figure them out. Being on Parship saved me a lot of work and their gay site doesn’t appear to be an afterthought like some of the other sites I’ve seen. But the most important thing is that the men on there seem to be professional,... (read more)

“feeling pretty hopeful”
Written on: 28/04/2013 by frankliz (1 review written)
Things have started looking up for me since I’ve found Parship. I heard about it from a friend who’s found her current girlfriend on there. For her it all happened very quickly. I’ve been on for only about a month and am still getting to grips with it all but have had a chance to go on a couple of dates already and even though the chemistry just wasn’t there, I’ve actually made two new friends. I have a couple more dates scheduled and I’m actually feeling pretty hopeful. This is... (read more)

“Great”
Written on: 26/04/2013
This is the first dating site I've seen aimed specifically at gay men that isn't a giant meat market. As someone who's ready to settle down it's been invaluable to me to know there is somewhere I can go and find men similar to myself. I've been giving Parship a try for a while and to be honest I've had one relationship with a guy I met on there that has recently ended, but now it's time to try again I'm right back there because I don't want to waste my time. The site is not cheap and there... (read more)

“no timewasters so far”
Written on: 31/03/2013 by spencer420
You don’t hear a lot about this site for some reason, but once I found it, I realised there are actually a lot of guys on there and they’re all into actual, long term relationships! I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to find it, but now I have I feel right at home. If what you want is more than what apps like Grindr will give you, then this is the safest bet, as far as I can tell. Not a single timewaster so far and I’ve gone on a few really good dates. I really feel that this is... (read more)

“Feel at home”
Written on: 24/03/2013
Parship is the first dating site where I really felt at home. I love that you can have the same sort of features you get on hetero sites that take into account the fact that psychological make up is not something that changes with sexual preferences. The matching system appears to be very well thought-out and the women you see on the site are smart, professional and interesting. It’s certainly the best dating site I’ve tried so far and I’m pretty sure this is the one that will get me... (read more)

“Much needed!”
Written on: 14/03/2013
Finding a gay dating site where I can openly look for a serious boyfriend without having to go through thousands of profiles of men looking for one night stands was a huge big deal for me. If there’s anything missing on the gay dating scene, it’s more dating sites like Parship. I have to say that I’m not wild about the fact that you can’t search for profiles yourself. I’m used to being able to just sit and browse profiles when I want to. But on the other hand, the site’s been... (read more)

“Overpriced, take money without a reminder”
Written on: 08/03/2013
Firstly, you can't see anyone's pictures until you start paying. I would recommend match.com because there are a lot more gay guys on there and a lot of the same ones as well. I don't think the compatibility questionnaire really has a lot of effect. It just complicates matters. But that is their niche, and maybe you will like that. One thing which I think is dodgy is that I was offered a heavily reduced rate for 12month membership and then after not receiving any emails from them for... (read more)

“not perfect but close enough for me”
Written on: 01/03/2013 by benjygld (1 review written)
I tried Parship after becoming disillusioned with the major dating sites I’ve tried. The dedicated gay sites seem to be all about one night stands, while the hetero sites that claim to be catering to gays, often have few members or are blatantly geared towards gay couples. Parship is certainly smaller, but for me it’s the perfect place to look for the type of man I’m after – professional, intelligent and into the concept of monogamous relationships! I was beginning to think they... (read more)

“wish i'd found it sooner”
Written on: 21/02/2013 by lisalisap (1 review written)
I must say I’ve never seen such a great collection of smart, professional women on any of the other sites I’ve tried. Parship seems to bring together the most interesting women on the gay dating scene. I’m so glad I found it and sorry I didn’t find it earlier. I have to say that it took me a while to get around to trying it, mostly because it seemed like such a long winded sign up process compared to other dating sites, but now I have and have been going out on dates with potential...

“Worth the money”
Written on: 29/01/2013
There isn’t exactly a shortage of dating sites for lesbians wanting to settle down, but I’ve found Parship to be a cut above the rest when it comes to customer service and the kind of women who date on there. All the profiles I got sent by the site were of women I’d be happy to be friends with even if there was no chemistry. In fact, I’ve already made several friends on the site and have recently started seeing someone who may well turn out to be more than a friend. The Parship... (read more)

“Good for busy people”
Written on: 26/01/2013
I've tried a few dating sites aimed at the gay community before and found them lacking. I am a busy professional looking for a relationship and as much as I like having men in my life, I don't have the time to spend every waking hour going through profiles and arranging casual dates that would most likely not amount to anything serious. Parship solved both these problems for me, because it's certainly not a site for casual dating. Everyone I've met on here so far is looking for the same... (read more)

“Slow but serious”
Written on: 21/01/2013
I found Parship to be a bit strange at first because I'm used to gay dating sites being much quicker with much less time spent online. Parship is slow from the moment you start using it, because you have to do their lengthy personality test before the site even lets you create a profile. But on the other hand, this weeds out the people who just want to hook up. Once I got through this stage and started talking to people, I found a totally different crowd, looking for exactly the sort of... (read more)

“Very professional ”
Written on: 01/01/2013 by khastings (1 review written)
I’ve not been on Parship for very long, but I gather it was the first mainstream dating site in the country to offer a place where the gay community could search for serious relationship material. As such, it’s got a big pool of ladies to choose from and it’s well established and simple to use. For me, it’s been great after the end of a long relationship. I’ve been taking it very slowly, as I think a part of me is not quite ready to jump right in again, but I’ve already made some... (read more)

“Good things so far”
Written on: 30/12/2012
This seems to be the place where the cute guys go who want more than to merely get together for a date or a quickie. After being on the complete opposite end of the scale everywhere else I’ve looked, I was very happy to find Parship. I’m still working on finding the perfect guy for me, but it does help to be able to sit back and let the website do all the searching for me. I just don’t have the time to sit online for hours going over profiles just to find out the person at the other... (read more)

“for serious relationships”
Written on: 26/12/2012 by pj75 (1 review written)
Parship is the only site I’ve seen in the UK that is aimed exclusively at gay men who want to find someone to settle down with. I tried a few other dating sites before, but most of the men on there just wanted one night stand and not much else. To be honest, I found them to be a complete waste of time. On the other hand, the country’s supposedly leading “serious relationship” site is decidedly anti-gay… Parship may not be perfect, but it’s the only site I’ve been on that’s... (read more)

“glad I tried”
Written on: 01/12/2012 by lindas3
I didn’t like parship at first, because it was not what I was used to from dating site, but I decided to give it a go and see and I’m glad I did. I met someone on there and we have been together since. I’m just putting this here so that people know it’s possible and I am very happy I didn’t listen to people who said it couldn’t! I know different things and different sites work for everyone, but parship has definitely worked for me. I never thought it would happen for me this way,... (read more)

“parship is fun”
Written on: 30/11/2012 by slawson33 (1 review written)
I like this site because it’s the only mainstream site I know of that takes relationships very seriously regardless of your sexual orientation. But dating on parship is still fun, because the women you meet are more relaxed than the serious nature of the site would imply. If you can sit through the very long test at the beginning (which I almost didn’t!) you’ll find it actually does the job very well. It’s certainly taken the pain out of going through thousands of profiles on other... (read more)

“good site if you are looking for something serious”
Written on: 26/11/2012 by kev29 (1 review written)
This is a good site if you are looking for something serious. If you are looking to hook up then you won’t like it. It’s very slow going compared to the hook up sites and it’s about finding long term relationships. They talk a lot about compatibility and you have to take a lengthy compatibility test before you can even start looking at profiles (and then the site has to send them to you, you can’t look yourself). I’m a bit too old now for one night stands and I’m looking for... (read more)

“Finally, something different”
Written on: 04/11/2012 by EuanB
After years of not having much luck on dating sites (it seems so much is 'hook-up' based) I was ready to give up, when I stumbled upon gayPARSHIP through a German friend. He had used gayPARSHIP in Germany and said it was all the rage. I had never heard of it and thought perhaps it's a continental thing, but on signing up and taking the test, I was surprised how many UK members they had. There are some things about the site that could be slicker, but I'm a patient fellow. Interestingly the... (read more)

“right for me”
Written on: 31/10/2012 by dunn29 (1 review written)
I just moved to the UK and am already bored of the whole Grindr scene. I was happy to discover parship also has a UK site. I’ve used the German version before, which is busier, but it’s good to have a site where you can go if you are not in your 20s anymore and are looking for more than just the physical side of relationships. Parship is maybe a bit too serious at times, but really all I want to do is meet people I might like and take it from there, so I’m not too bothered about chat... (read more)

“really enjoy using”
Written on: 20/10/2012 by jbos (1 review written)
I really enjoy using Parship. I’ve just started using it again after my last relationship ended and even though it’s not the most exciting site with all the bells and whistles you see around, I think it does actually get results. My ex was someone I met on Parship and even though things didn’t work out between us, we are still good friends. What made me come back is that I know this site won’t be a waste of time for me. The women dating on there are looking for serious relationships,... (read more)

“Met a girl”
Written on: 01/10/2012 by elliedear (1 review written)
I got to this site via Diva magazine. I think they have some sort of deal with Parship. This site works differently than most I’ve seen in that it sends you matches, rather than have you look for them yourself. You really need to trust the site to send you the right matches, otherwise you’ll feel like you might be missing out, so I wasn’t entirely sold on it to begin with. Things can take longer to get going on there, which suited me fine because I’m usually very busy, but I know for... (read more)

“Finally!”
Written on: 21/09/2012 by dannyslow (1 review written)
This is a unique site among the gay dating sites I’ve seen. I’ve only started using it recently but it looks like it can actually give me what I want out of online dating. If I wanted to meet men just for sex I’d have stuck with bars. No need to spend money online and get the same thing. I like how in depth everything is on the site and how it stirs you away from thinking about looks and more towards thinking of people’s personalities. I actually find looks are very important to me,... (read more)

“Finally a serious dating site for the gay community!”
Written on: 23/08/2012 by dsmith72 (0 reviews written)
I was so happy when I found this site! I've not had much luck finding anything serious on the other gay dating sites I've tried. Most people seem to be happy with meeting people just for sex, but I'd never seen anything aimed at people who want to actually find someone for a serious relationship. Not unless you're a woman, of course, it seems. This site seems to be aimed exclusively at people who are looking for something extra and while I wasn't sure about the whole concept to begin with...
