From one "not obviously gay" guy to another, I think you'll enjoy SLC. Like anywhere, the gay men here run the gamut when it comes to personality, but there are a lot of us so it's not slim pickings! (SLC is the urban magnet for gay people from rural Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, and western Colorado... hence the high per capita rate of gay people in the valley.)

The one thing to be aware of is the high number of formerly Mormon gay men in the area; most are doing great and have left the church whole and healed, but there are a few who still experience extreme guilt and shame about being gay, thanks to their upbrining. Many either remain deeply closeted in certain areas of their lives (which can get complicated and unhealthy) while others act in self-destructive ways. Relationships with these "tortured" gay Mormons can be very difficult.

As far as location, Marmalade is great, as are the Avenues, downtown/Central City, anywhere around Liberty Park (like 9th & 9th), Sugar House, or anywhere around the U of U. Good luck, and welcome!

That sounds so much better than our gay population here. I've done that once before, & won't go for that type again. If i meet a guy like that there & he's closeted he'll just push me away now hehe. But I'm not going there to meet a guy. I'm hoping to attend SLCC in the fall
I can't explain it, just feel very drawn to SLC, & am really excited about moving there I'll miss it here in OR, but am so ready to move on
