Men Chats! Long gone are the days of surfing Yahoo chat rooms or sliding into guys DM’s randomly, you no longer have to do that. Chat rooms catering to the gay community aren’t as plentiful as straight folks get, however, that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. You just have to look for them. Fear not though, I have done all the legwork for you and found one myself, you are welcome!

Manchats.com is a free chat platform specifically for gay men, or bisexual. It started around 2003, as a way for people to connect via live cam. It has evolved into something much more, though, and for the better. I wouldn’t count on finding the love of your life here, though, It’s a good way to pass them boring days in work, or them lonely nights. I’ve had some great chats here, but never really developed into anything more. 

However, that’s not to say this is the best of the bunch, I don’t mind reviewing bad ones either and letting you know all about them, and then from there you can make your own mind up. So let’s have a look at menchats and see if it’s worth your time, shall we?

First Impressions Mean Everything

The homepage is very minimal, however it does look quite good. It has that vibe that most sites have nowadays, which is very bland but colourful and easy on the eyes. It has that pale blue theme which makes everyone instantly think of Facebook, maybe that’s what they are going for? It says “you will be chatting in seconds” which is quite a bold claim to make, a lot of sites make you jump through hoops before you get to the goods. 

The site is well optimized for mobile I feel, it loads quickly. However, being on mobile using the chat room may be slightly cumbersome due to how small the users are, so pinching on their names can be a nightmare. However, the video chat on mobile is a seamless and pleasant experience. 

I feel like the site could use a bit of a modernisation revamp. More and more sites are popping up in this genre, and it’s highly competitive. If a rival site offers a small feature that people need, they will easily ditch this one and flock to it. However, this doesn’t mean the site isn’t functional. It performs very well and does the job, I still feel like it’s missing something though. 

Is It Free?

The big question on everyone’s lips, do I need to stump up money to use the full potential of this site? You will be happy to know that this site is completely free, amazing, isn’t it? They say that you don’t need to register, but there are two accounts. One is a guest account, and the other is a permanent account. To access the site as a guest, you will still need to pick a username, input your age and then write small details about yourself. So they weren’t lying when they said registration is not required, as you don’t need to put any personal details of yourself in. You can remain anonymous, if you so please. 

If it’s free, then how does it earn a living? Well, quite simple, it has a few ads here and there. Nothing too bad compared to some sites, but you will get a pop-up now and again when you’re in a chat room. I don’t mean open a new tab pop-up, I mean one right in the middle of your screen. It’s not too bad, and I don’t mind one now and again. 

What Kind Of Chat Rooms Will I Find?

The first chatroom, I visited, looked like a spam chat room. It will basically of guys asking “cam2cam” constantly, so no prizes for guessing what the guys on this site want. Granted, from the main lobby you can’t expect to have in depth discussions or chat with the guy of your dreams here, you will have to explore a bit. Dudes who visit these sites are usually very horny and not shy to talk about it, I mean, let’s face it, you’re signing up to a chat room anonymously with no repercussions. You will probably say what’s on your mind, and who can blame them. 

You will get a lot of offers to use the video chat section, or requests to share your pictures. It must be that time of day on there, because when I joined up I was spammed with these messages. The chat room never stopped scrolling, and it was quite overwhelming, especially as someone who isn’t a frequent visitor to these types of sites. 

A little trick though, you can go to your profile and toggle on/off requests for pictures and cam, which makes your experience a little easier and gives you time to breath. Then, when you’re ready, you can always activate them again if you so please. There is a list of users on the right side, and if you’re intrigued enough, you can view their profiles. However, I found that a lot of users don’t really say much about themselves, or put any pictures of themselves on. The usernames usually tell you a lot about what that person is about, you will see for yourself when you see them. 

Video Chat Is Very Easy To Use

This is the cornerstone of the site. Video chat is really a given nowadays, especially with how far technology has come. Face it, would you join a chat for text chat any more? I doubt it, we all need something a little extra. If you found a nice guy in the chat, you can set up a phone call or a video chat between each other. I found it quite easy to use, the video quality is decent. I also found that using the video chat option on a mobile device, rather than a PC, a lot easier. 

The quality is very good, surprisingly. I’ve never many sites like this with terrible quality, but it’s super smooth, so you can chat to that hot guy you’ve met. Of course, if they have a nice dick and willing to show it, even better. Just make sure the person who you are speaking to is who you think it is, there’s a huge problem with catfishers nowadays. Some guys will try and make it a one way chat and only show the waist down, be careful who you speak to and what you do, as people can record video nowadays, and it might end up on every corner of the internet.

Also, men chats logs your IP for security before you sign up, so be weary of that. Don’t spread hate or cause any trouble. Everyone is here for a good time, there is no need to be a drama queen. There are also ways to report other members, for harassment or hate speech or anything like that. It’s a nice feature which some sites lack. User security should be of the utmost importance, I’m glad they have taken all the precautions available to them. 

Final Thoughts

So this site is decent, there are better sites out there which accomplish the same goal, but I thought I’d mention this site for the video chat alone. Using this on a mobile is a quick and seamless experience, so if you’re bored and horny one night, then you can join all the bunch of pervs on this site, and you will be into a video chat within around 5 minutes I reckon. Be careful though, the anonymous nature of this site means you can be chatting to just anyone, so be careful on who you send pictures to. You never know who might be on the other side of the screen, make sure they show their face as well. 

If text chatting is your thing, then it does have quite a diverse range of chat rooms. Depending on the time of day dictates whether these rooms will be popular or not, and even during peak hours some may be empty. However, if you loiter in, then maybe people will join you. There’s a nice room dedicated to “subs/masters” which is semi popular and has more of a mature vibe than the other rooms. If you’re looking for a quick and easy chat site, then I definitely recommend menchats.com!
