Gayromeo

GayRomeo, worldwide Internet forum, chat and dating community for gay, bisexual and transgender men. The site was established in October 2002 by PlanetRomeo GmbH in Berlin, Germany. According to its own figures, GayRomeo has more than 1,334,000 registered profiles and 1,010,000^[1] active users worldwide and is the biggest German-speaking chat and dating community for gay, bisexual and transgender men in the web.

Because of its German origins the majority of GayRomeo's users come from the German-speaking countries Germany, Austria and Switzerland. However, since the site is also available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Portuguese, Greek, Romanian, Polish, Serbian and Thai, the number of users from non-German-speaking countries is constantly increasing.

In order to expand the international services of GayRomeo and in order to avoid legal problems with the comparatively strict German laws for the protection of children and young people ^[2], GayRomeo has been operated by PlanetRomeo B.V. located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands since September 2006.

In March 2009 the online community Guys4Men.com joined up GayRomeo.

Users who prefer to keep the site layout strictly non-sexual and inconspicuous, can use a graphical neutral version and a small GayRomeo-messenger available under www.planetromeo.com . This can be helpful while using GayRomeo from any gay-unfriendly public spaces like offices, hotels or an internet-cafés.
