    Maybe, what data were you referencing?

    mnguy means what Surveys/Studies/Statistics are you likely referring to? Just because it's good to provide some kind of Source or Reference/Evidence to go with such questions such as yours, rather than what's typically seen as a baseless generalization with nothing to provide solid support backing the original question.

    More single compared to feeling obligated to date the gender they don't want to? Definitely more single.

    More single compared to dating other queer men? In that sense, I don't think we're more single than ever, especially with how things are/were for queer men years ago.

    I think it really depends on if you mean single in general, or just not in a same-sex relationship.

    I wondered if you read or saw something that brought up your question. It does seem super hard to find someone compatible for sure. I'm sorry it's hard. Is something going well? Is it warm there today?

    I think many men in general, especially Gen Z, are becoming a lot more open and relaxed. From what I have read and seen, many of them feel less bound by conventional hetero/homosexual norms. So among that group (and this applies to many older as well), they are more willing to consider same sex relationships and to engage in sex with same-sex partners. Talking about sex is becoming less taboo, which is removing shame around sexual topics.

    And that, in turn, is likely creating an increased population of people comfortable in same-sex dating.

    You need to work on that self confidence of yours and stop telling yourself that because you're overweight, then no one will look at your way. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You never know, who will find you attractive. There are lots of things you can control and things you can’t. Do all you can, and let go of the rest. Loving someone and dating isn’t a high-stakes referendum on your personal appeal.
