Mennation.com review – Gay Dating and Hookup Site

MenNation has one of the biggest gay member bases of all dating sites that serve homosexual men. The site is aimed for many types of relationships like gay marriage, serious relationships, friends with benefits, and casual dating.

The site is full of nifty unique features that are often updated to facilitate users their possibility of dating. When it comes to features, the site hosts a lot of them including online magazines, photo rating and advanced messaging, which as we’ll read later, are only for users that are Premium.

MenNation has features that stand it out from above other dating sites. This is a dating site that also welcomes girls who are seeking hookups, romance, and friendships. The sire looks a little crammed with the content portrayed on the homepage. Anyway, it equally looks top-quality.

It is a huge gay dating site with a huge database that can be deceiving. Most of the personals that take part in this portal are actually from Adult Friend Finder and affiliate sites. Anyway, this doesn’t make it lose reputation as one of the most recommended venues for gay dating.

Member Structure

At this time, MenNation has over 42 million registered members, but only a small percentage of them are online. Despite this, nobody doubts that the member structure of this site is massive compared to others that work on the gay dating niche.

It buzzes with activity as many users often upload pictures, videos, blogs and much of the allowed content. Today, they have added roughly 180,000 and in general terms, chats usually get over 1000 active guests.

MenNation claims to have millions of users looking for same-sex dates, and that’s false at ll. This site also belongs to the Friend Finder Networks, which means it is a norm to find gay men from any of the sites from that net. Yet, the user base of this site is actually smaller than advertised.

The majority of subscribers are gay men who are looking for a casual gay, however, there are also thousands of bisexuals and bi-curious personals who once they have signed up to Adult Friend Finder, they gain access to the user of this platform as well.

The site gives access to more than 90 million users in the end.

Signing Up

The sign-up process of MenNation should not be a headache to anybody as it only takes 5 minutes. While only some of the fields must be completed mandatorily, the site recommends recommends filling them out and not leaving spaces empty to get more matches.

The layout of MenNation is quite simple which, by the same token, facilitates the registration process. The only things you need to enter are your location, age, and a valid email to be notified through it. You also need to specify dating preferences, and indicate the gender you would like to date.

After that, you receive an email for account verification.  After confirming the verification, the site pops up an ad to offer you a Gold membership or one of the plans. These ads might appear very often, but you can turn them down to start chatting.

Pictures can be uploaded after without pressure at all. The site allows adding up to 20 photos and creating albums. On a side note, it is advisable to use a 8-digit password in this type of site at the beginning of the registration process. We never know when the system will fall through.

Making Contact on Mennation

To connect with other singles registered on the site, the best method is probably the on-site email option which allows exchanging messages with others without a problem. To break the ice, there’s the ‘flirt’ feature which can sent to start a conversation.

In the same way, the website offers the Cupid Service option which automatically matches you with other members. This is a particular way to find users very quickly, but it doesn’t work manually. The system takes part of your information to provide matches.

Besides that, there’s another option that streamlines communication hassle-free. Chat room and groups are available to chat  with daters without even spending money. It also gives you the choice to go private with users that are in the room.

Another method to contact personals is the use of webcam. This way, you can see the person’s face before arranging a date. Subscribers can also add people to a hotlist or favorite list as well as send them a friend request.

MenNation does not put restriction on the number of groups to join. If you feel like conversing with somebody at once, it is recommended to seek out singles in various groups at a time.

Profile Quality

First, you cannot see profiles at their full extension with a free membership. You need to pay to get a full view of them.

The top of the profile starts with the username and a text showing the relationship type they are looking for. These elements are just on the right side of the display picture, which as explained before, it is not obligatory to submit immediately.

In this section, we also see where the user is from as well as the connection status, and since when he is registered. So, we see how old or new that netizen is on the site upon entering the profile.

Just below, we see 45 sections that come like this: profile, photos/albums/videos, Questions & Answers, and My Blog. As you can see, profiles are very comprehensive and fully detailed as they let us know even about their customers’ experiences.

The introduction is also a worth-mentioning section here. It contains the sexual preference (there are straight individuals on the site, so do not expect to find all are gay), what they are hunting for, plus birthdate, willingness to relocate, and more questions.

Mobile App

Unfortunately, this site doesn’t have a specialized app like Tinder, Badoo, or Facebook, because it is porn. This may disappoint you but no worries, the portal does have a desktop version which includes the same interface as if it had an app.

The site can be accessed from any Android and Apple device and it is truly functional in all ways. According to reviews, the mobile version is very usable, pretty user-friendly and does not slow up the device. Furthermore, its format adjusts with the screen size.

MenNation can be visited from almost every browser. If you are an Opera user, this would go fine because its layout will not interface with view quality. Apart from that, you won’t need to deal with other sites’ pages you could have open. Enter MenNation from Opera preferably.

The interface features all the niceties we find on the desktop version, as if we were on the PC. The first thing we’ll see is evidently the homepage with the sign-up and log-in icon above. Then, a small introduction and a NEXT- call-to-action button that drives us to the next webpages.

Costs and Prices

While you can create your account on this site at no cost, it is also a fact that it is a pay site, whose most functions are blocked to free members. In fact, once you register, the website encourages you to subscribe to a plan through pop-ups that appear while navigating.

The website always reminds people to do so, given the nature thereof. Free users are very restricted when it comes to viewing other profiles and messaging. As for the paid members, they remove all those limitations and enjoy much more.

As a free user, you can only see a short version of each profile. If you want to read tips, bear in mind that these features are paid as well. Free daters, however, can use basic search tools and join chat rooms where they can participate for free. Everything else is paid, unfortunately.

MenNation offers three way to clear the membership plan fees. There are also 3 plans whose ´prices vary from $22 to 10$ a month for 6 months. The following is a chart that describes costs and prices better.

Option Total Cost Cost Per-Month Saving %

• Free Membership $0 $0
• 1 Month Membership $22.95 $22.95 0%
• 3 Month Membership $41.85 $13.95 40%
• 6 Month Membership $65.70 $10.95 52%
