After connecting half a million people online, we realized something was still missing.

Mingleo was created by the same team that has brought together 500,000+ people through global virtual summits and education platforms.

We learned that while online connection has value, nothing replaces sitting across from another human being and having an in-person conversation.

Mingleo brings our experience in building trusted communities to gay men ready for something better: real tables, real talk and real connections.

This Is Not For You If...

You can't commit to showing up. When you book, other people are counting on you. If you don't show up, this isn't fair to anyone.
You're not open to meeting different people. We match groups carefully, but our community is wonderfully diverse and we believe that’s a good thing.
You're looking for a dating service. While many friendships may naturally turn into romantic connections, that's not our focus.

Our Safety Commitment

Always in public, always in a group

Every meetup is at a vetted restaurant with 4-8 people at the table. No one-on-ones, no strangers turning up, no weird surprises.

No d*ckheads policy

Disrespect, harassment, or creepy behaviour = immediate removal. We keep the table safe so you can relax.

Privacy protected

We don't share your details with anyone. Other members only see what you choose to share – and you decide who to stay in touch with after.

We're here if you need us

Questions, concerns, bad vibes at a dinner – reach out anytime. We actually respond.

Frequently Asked Questions

We'll send you your meetup details 24h before the meetup. For dinners this is in the morning on the day of the dinner. Why only then? So we can finalize your complete group after processing any cancellations or other changes. Meaning fewer surprises and last-minute changes for you. Plus, the surprise reveal hopefully adds a bit of fun anticipation!

We consider your age, interests, values, and personality to create compatible groups of 4-8 men. We typically keep age ranges within 10 years to ensure everyone is at similar life stages. The goal is to match you with men who genuinely have something in common with you.

Mingleo membership includes matching, venue reservation, customer support and various tools to help ease any first-meeting nerves. The cost of your meal and drinks is paid separately at the restaurant, so you can order what suits your appetite and budget.

Sign up and complete our matching quiz. Once that's done, choose which membership package you like, and after that you'll be able to choose which event you'd like to attend.

Gay men who want to meet other gay men. Whether you're single, partnered, new to the city, or just want to expand your circle, you're welcome.

Dinners typically begin at 7:00 PM, but this may vary from location to location. You'll receive your exact arrival time along with your restaurant details on the morning before your dinner.

No. While some connections naturally evolve into romantic relationships, our focus is on companionship, friendship, and community. If romance happens, that's amazing, but it's not the goal or expectation.

We ask everyone to come solo. It keeps the dynamic even since everyone's meeting new people, which actually makes it easier. But if you've got a mate who's interested, he can sign up separately.

We take your dietary needs seriously. You'll receive your venue details before the event, allowing you to review the menu ahead of time. If the venue doesn't accommodate your requirements, simply contact our support team and we'll arrange an alternative restaurant. Your comfort matters to us.

You can cancel your membership anytime in your user profile by clicking on the profile picture in the top right corner and selecting "Manage Subscription".

Our support team is here to help with any questions or concerns. You can email us at info@mingleo.com

Meeting gay men shouldn't be this hard

But it is.

The apps are for hookups. The bars get old. The scene isn't for everyone and even if it was, it's not where friendships happen.

Most gay men have plenty of acquaintances but few real friends. The kind you actually call, not just on Instagram. And somewhere along the way, making new ones started to feel... awkward. Forced. Like you missed a window.

You didn't.

You just need a better option than swiping, drinking, or hoping you'll randomly click with someone at a house party.

That's what this is. One dinner. A few hours.
