Gay men in Brussels - how to meet people?

Question

Hello all,
Gay single guy here - do any of the gay guys here have any ideas about how to meet others? I generally find Brussels pretty tough to meet men (even just on a platonic basis). I'm not at all into the (very limited number of) gay bars here, also (unfortunately) not massive into sports.
Do any of the gay guys here have any suggestions? It's getting so bad that I'm considering leaving Brussels (I otherwise like Brussels!)

Have you looked at meetup.com? I noticed an LGBT group on there recently and other interest groups you might find appealing. If you think it's hard to meet (gay) men in Brussels, try being a 40-something woman!

Greetings, E.G.G., the English-speaking Gay Group, was started in 1986, as a way to make new acquaintances and to have a drink and pleasant conversation with friends in a relaxed and very casual atmosphere - without having to shout over eardrum-blasting music. Not excluded, of course, is the possibility of your finding the man or woman of your life at one of our parties.

The group has a party each month for gays and lesbians and welcomes men and women of all nationalities and age groups. The parties are held on Sunday afternoons from 3.30 to 7.00. We take over a restaurant or a hotel banquet room for our parties and are thus assured of complete privacy.

Announcements are sent out ten to fourteen days before, giving the date and place. Our parties have been running between 20 and 30 or more people recently.

We ask 3 euros participation - for the cost of mailings and the like - at each party one attends. There is no membership fee. Drinks are on a "cash bar" basis.

If you are not fluent in English, that is not a problem. You are certain to find people who speak your language. Besides, what better way to learn a language than with friends!

If you wish to be on the mailing list after having received this note, please contact us at: tomhoemig@skynet.be or call Tom on 02 537 47 04. If you would rather come to a party first to see what they are like, we will send you the next few announcements so you can attend a party and decide. You can let us know later if you want your name added.

There is no need to leave Brussels!

hi cmh, unfortunately the only gay group on meetup is for lesbians, unless i'm much mistaken.....
mmmmm I'll have to agree to differ with you on which group has it hardest in Brussels. At least you straight ladies generally have the odds as to whether the men are gay or not ;) That said, it's hard for both groups.
