What 1« ComQuest?
ComQuest is gay America'» new, safe way to meet com
patible guys. ComQucit'i computer-based matching sys
tem enables you to meet men from your area who match
your preferences (and you theirs) for age, race, personality,
lifestyle, physical attributes, interests, and local residence.
ComQuest began providing gay matching services in
1982 and now has over 6000 members in 60 major cities.
How do«« It work?
ComQuest's matching system, using advanced computer
technology, analyzes your detailed questionnaire responses
(see right side of page) and compares each of your
weighted "ideal match” descriptive responses with the cor
responding "self" descriptive responses oi all current mem
bers, and vice versa, keeping track of the members having
the highest matching scores.
What do«« It cost, and what do I got?
For $20 you get the contact information for the 5 men
who are your best matches among our current members in
your area. (Add $10 per additional set of 5.) Your contact
information will be "listed" for three months (with free
extensions) for other members to contact you (unless you
leave Step 2 blank). You will know of these matches only
when they contact you.
What If my match«« don't work out?
ComQuest receives numerous letters from members who
have found lovers or who are otherwise quite pleased with
our service. However, if you are mot satisfied, you will
receive a prompt refund of yow membership fee (you have
30 days to notify us and return your match printout).
How long will It tak«?
Most orders are filled within a week. If the difference
between your postmark date and ours is more than 14 days,
we will include an extra $5.00 credit voucher with your
order, applicable to future ComQuest orders. All corre
spondence from ComQuest will be mailed in plain
envelopes.
OK, I’ll try It What do I do?
This is the hard part. But it can be fun, loo. The ques
tionnaire is on the righthand side of this page. Refer to the
instructions to the right to complete Steps 3, 4, and 5. It is
very important to read them carefully. If you do not follow

Questionnaire Instructions
Stop 3 - Describe yourself by circling the word me beside
each descriptive item which is a true description of your
self. You should circle at least one me under each cate
gory. Circle more than one me if appropriate.
Stop 4 - Describe vour ideal match by circling the word
veto, no, ok or yes beside each and every item (including
those by which you circled me) to indicate to what extent
you would want that item to be true of your match. Circle
exactly one of these responses per item, as described
below:
Circle yes if you want that description to be true of
your match. This is a vote for a trait—not a guarantee.
Circle ok if you don't care one way or the other. This
is an abstention—no vote either way. Lines left blank are
counted as ok.
Circle no if you do not want that description to be
true of your match. This is a vote against—not a disquali
fication. Treat it as a "maybe."
Circle veto if you want no matches with anyone for
whom that description is true, even if they have other desir
able qualities. This is a disqualification and is not affected
by category rank. Treat it as an absolute "no." We recom
mend that you circle between 10 and 20 vetos to restrict
age, race, residence, and other important traits of your
matches.
Note: The use of vetoes restricts the number of members
qualified to meet you. You are guaranteed the number of
matches you order, but if you use too many vetoes you
may get fewer matches than you ordered initially, in which
case you will receive credit for the remaining matches.
You can use the credit to alter your questionnaire and/or
reorder matches anytime.
Stop 5 - Rank the categories. The questionnaire is divided
into 16 categories. To insure that your responses on the
less important items won't override those on the more
important items, you must indicate which categories are
important to you. Using the blank to the left of each cate
gory heading, either ...
Rank each category from 1 to 16 in its order of
importance to you, with 1 as the most important and 16 as
the least, using each rank once, o r . . .
Put a check mark beside the five most important cate
gory headings, leaving the rest blank.
Note: Your matches will be based mostly upon the more
important categories, with the less important ones serving
only as tie breakers. Noes and yeses have very little effect
in the lower ranked or unchecked categories. Some of your
matches may have traits by which you circled no.
However, vetoes are exclusive regardless of category rank.
