Our Inspiration

significant others and its parent group, Horizons, are innovative enterprises.

We do what we do because we believe that nobody else is doing it properly and because we know that what we do is much needed.

We are passionate about our aim – to broaden the horizons of gay men and provide us all with a broader range of ‘lifestyle services’.

Horizons is establishing several business divisions that focus on a broad range of lifestyle solutions. You can read about these and the inspiration behind them on our web site, which you can visit by clicking here.

significant others provides one of those lifestyle services – helping gay men to find a perfect partner.

Our inspiration to focus on relationships was simple:

Less than 6% of gay men are in relationships and more than 60% want to be...

This is a shocking statistic and makes our point very well.

You only have to talk with gay men to know that the scene culture and the casual sex which is available through the internet is not regarded as ‘the be and end all’ – yet that’s what’s mostly available.

Of course many enjoy the fun and excitement of the scene and what it makes available; and we would not knock this but it is very clear that gay men want more choice. In relationships they want a surer and better targeted way of finding a real partner, someone for tomorrow, not just for tonight – that’s what we do and why we do it!

If you think about it, gay society is only a few decades old – we don’t have any established role models. It is not surprising that gay society still has a limited set of social frameworks – the current scene and all that it brings is one of them – and, as a result, choice is restricted. Whilst it’s fun and even fashionable to be gay today - it’s still very difficult to be gay in so many ways, even despite the newly liberated attitude of twenty first century Europe.

That is what inspires us to do what we do and why we are passionate about it.
