What Is ManHunt.net?

ManHunt claims to be the world’s biggest gay dating site. This claim is slightly dubious, but it does have over 6 million members. It’s distinctly NSFW, and there’s a lot of nudity in the profile pictures and mentions of sex in the message boards and chat rooms. Whether you’re seeking gay chat, hookups, or videos, this site has it all.

This review will cover the dating and safety features of ManHunt, how to create and complete your profile, and the costs involved in joining. It includes some of the pros and cons of using the site and the quality of other users’ profiles. We’ll answer frequently asked questions and give a final call on whether it’s worth joining in the conclusion.

Pros

• Many ways to contact other users for free.

• Accessible globally, so you can join no matter where you are.

• Very little email spam (only 1 email per day).

• Very active users.

• Premium is reasonably affordable.

Cons

• Opens certain links in a new window which can be annoying.

• Automatically logs you out after 15 minutes of inactivity.

• Can only block 5 users with a free account.

Login Process

Joining is easily done by clicking “Join For Free” on the homepage. You’ll need to give ManHunt net access to your location so that it can show you matches who are near where you are. You’ll enter your name, age, and email address and create your password. Tick to confirm you’re over 18 and complete a captcha to prove you’re human to proceed.

You’ll then need to add a photo to enter and start browsing. This can be of your face, torso, or even a below-the-belt pic. It doesn’t tell you this on the site, but you need to verify your email by clicking the link in your welcoming message. You need to do this within 72 hours, or your account may be suspended pending verification. In total, it should take under 10 minutes to get registered.

Profile Completion

Profiles on ManHunt are relatively short and simple. The only sections that will be completed during registration are your age and location, you’ll need to complete all the rest. First, you can add a headline to your profile, and complete an About Me section. You can edit your location if you need or want to.

This is followed by a Stats section, where you’ll pick answers from drop-down menus. This asks about your age, height, build, hair, and eye color. Then, you’re asked for some more risqué information, like your length and width, whether you’re cut or uncut, your HIV status, and your preferred position. Finally, you can pick your sex interests from a list that includes, among others:

• Underwear

• Exhibition

• Video Chat

• Leather

• Feet/Socks

User Account Quality

The other profiles seem legitimate, more so than most other online dating sites we’ve seen. Most profiles have pictures, and users are very active. You can expect messages and winks almost right away. There are a decent number of users, mostly concentrated in North America. Most members are also near bigger cities, which is true for all dating sites.

There’s no real matching algorithm, beyond some search filters. You don’t get any personalized matches; you’ll simply approach users who look interesting as you browse the site. You can send winks, and up to 25 messages per day for free with a limited membership.

Dating Features

Video Chat Rooms

This is a fun feature that’s available on the site. You can stream yourself on video or watch other people’s streams, and there’s a live text discussion on the side. You can only view one stream at a time. The ManHunt gay chat is a great way to interact with the people streaming and other viewers. Some people use it to find members to communicate privately on a different app, like Skype.

You can even create separate rooms, if you’d like to start a conversation with a specific subject, for example, a role-play chat room. With a free profile, you can participate in conversations, view videos, and create public chat rooms. There’s also a private room option, but this is reserved for premium members. Video chatting is always entertaining, it can be a way to connect with other users and have some naughty fun.

Match

A modern dating site isn’t complete without a feature that shows you a profile picture and allows you to say yea or nay, and ManHunt.net is no exception. It’s called Match, and you can give a thumbs up or thumbs down to each picture. You’ll be notified if you’ve both given each other a thumbs up. It's fun to swipe through profiles one by one and can be an ego boost to receive matches.

It’s also a nice way to get a quick look at other users since it shows you their location, age, height and weight, and ethnicity. It also shows you more spicy information like their preferred position (top/bottom), length, and girth. With a free profile, you can Match with local men, or switch to Global. If you have Premium, you can also select a specific region to browse men who live there, which is especially useful if you’ve got a trip coming up.

ManHunt Gay App

There’s a mobile app available for both Android and iOS. The ManHunt reviews on app stores average around 2.5 stars, which isn’t great. Strangely, on the app, you’ll only be visible to other users if you have a PG profile picture, this rule doesn’t apply to the site. The app likely has to be more discreet to comply with the app store rules.

The Match feature isn’t available on the app either. Despite that, it’s useful to be able to chat with your matches on the go. You’ll still be able to access all the users who you’re already talking to, from your inbox.

Private Photos

You can upload photos to your profile and mark them as private. This means that other users can’t view them unless you grant them access. This is an excellent way to keep yourself discreet if you need to hide your identity. It can also be a way to express interest or flirt with another user, by showing them your private photos.

Message Board

There’s also a Message Board where you can make posts for other members to see. These are text-only posts, and you can post anonymously if you want. They are typically used to post things like “anyone keen to meet now?” and will include the user’s location. It can also be used to post about an event you want to host, like a bbq with an orgy. You can click on the post to reply for free, which will send your reply to the poster’s inbox, and it’s totally private.

Prices & Costs

Unlike many dating sites, a free (or “limited”) profile is usable and functional on ManHunt. You can browse profiles, send winks, play around on Match, and even send up to 25 messages per day, for free. Entering the video chat rooms and viewing member streams are also free, and you can reply to any post on the Message Board. There are some ads, but mainly revenue is earned through premium memberships.

Unlimited Memberships (auto-renewing)

Premium subscriptions are called Unlimited Memberships, and have the following perks:

• View full-size photos.

• 365 Days: $99.00

Unlimited Memberships (non-renewing)

• 7 Days: $8.00

• 30 Days: $17.00

• 90 Days: $45.00

How Safe Is ManHunt Dating?

Your Personal Information

A careful readthrough of the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy showed us that your information is reasonably safe on Man Hunt. The good news is that: we didn’t spot anything concerning. The bad news is that: it’s very boring. Some things to be aware of:

• They will not sell or rent your personal information without your consent.

• To perform services, your information might be shared with agents, contractors, or business partners.

• Your information might be processed in a different country (to where you live) because the site is global.

• You will get emails about offers and other products or services.

Report Profiles

If you find someone’s profile that sets off some alarm bells, you can easily report them at the bottom of the page. You’ll indicate the reason for the report, which can be 1. spam, advertisement, or scam 2. hate speech 3. violence, drug references, or other illegal activity, or 4. underage users.

You can also add a note to explain the situation more fully. This is a great way to keep the site safer for everyone. Each profile cannot be individually monitored so in this way, users can be the ‘eyes and ears’ of the moderation team. The report will be investigated, and the person can get a written warning, be suspended, or have their profile terminated if necessary.

Final Thoughts

Our testers enjoyed ManHunt net and its features. While it’s not the right place to find your perfect match, you should be able to find a hookup. Between the Message Boards, Video Chat Rooms, and Match feature, there are tons of ways to meet and interact with other users and stay entertained at the same time. Best of all, those features are available for free with a Limited Profile.  You can even send up to 25 messages per day.

If that’s not enough for you, there’s a premium membership available and it’s very well priced. While many dating sites use the predatory auto-renewal system to benefit from you forgetting to cancel your subscription, ManHunt offers a non-renewing option, for only a slight surcharge. They don’t seem to use fake profiles and your personal information is kept reasonably safe.

For these reasons, we rate ManHunt gay site 8/10. For men seeking men, this is an excellent option to explore. Gay and bi men are the target audience and it’s perfect for them but won’t be suitable for women or straight men (unless you’re “straight” or in the closet in which case you can join discreetly).
