How the Manhunt.net dating site works
Once you’ve joined, you get shown matches that meet your requirements, like distance and other likes and dislikes. You can also search for profiles and message people you like.
Signing up for the Manhunt gay dating app
You have to be at least 18 years old to sign up. Signing up to Manhunt.net takes literally about a minute. It’s one of the fastest dating site sign-up systems we’ve found.
All you have to do is choose a username and password, verify your email before you start messaging, and upload at least one photo. Then, except for adding a picture, you can skip all sections and return to them later.
Ease of use
Everything about the Manhunt gay hookup app is intuitive and straightforward. Of course, many ads can block some settings and features, but the website is generally well-styled and easy to navigate.
Chat, messages, and notifications
You have to verify your email address before you can message anyone, but messaging is free across the site for all members. However, free members can only send messages to 50 members a day. There’s also a chat room feature for a more instant messaging service.
Profile Quality
Although you can add up to 15 photos and add information about yourself, you only need one image to be a member. You can skip most sections, meaning you’ll find profile quality a bit hit-and-miss – some profiles will take the site seriously and fill out all areas, while some might be testing the waters first. You’ll generally need to message someone to find out more.
Manhunt app download
You can download the Manhunt.net app on both iPhone and Android. There’s also a touchscreen mobile version of the site. It’s a faster, easier way to meet guys on the go. They tailor it towards finding you a more casual gay hookup.
On the Manhunt app, you can expect to find guys nearby to make friends, create instant hookups or meet for a date. The app is limited compared to the features you get on the desktop site. If you’re after something instant, then it does the job.
Real-life reviews for Manhunt.net
I’m not going to lie; I’m a promiscuous guy. I like sex but don’t have the time or energy for relationships. I’m glad many members in my city still haven’t fully migrated to the most popular gay hookup app, the one. Manhunt is safer, thanks to its HIV/AIDS resource page. I know I’ve visited it a few times. Better safe than sorry.

Safety and Security
Manhunt specifies that you must be at least 18 to join the site, and all pictures are of members of age. The site features very explicit photos and even porn, which is why the 18+ age limit is in place. However, there aren’t many checks to verify someone’s age as necessary as this is.

Pros and Cons
✓ Pros of ManHunt.net
- It’s reasonably priced, with plenty of options to suit all budgets.
- If you’re looking for something casual, this is your site.
- Plenty of members to browse through.>
X Cons of ManHunt.net
- We found the site to be a bit glitchy when it comes to signing up – it kept logging us back out and asking us to enter our username and password – it might be a one-off, but keep your eye on it.
- It’s very graphic! Everywhere you look, there are X-rated pictures, so bear this in mind in case you’re not expecting it.
- It’s not a dating site but a site for hooking up.
Our recommendation
There’s no denying it – Manhunt is graphic. Very graphic. They have an 18+ policy, so brace yourself if this isn’t what you expect. It’s hard to call it a dating site. It’s more of an online community that unlocks opportunities for people to hook up in a safe environment.
If you’re looking for pros, it’s got some decent features for free members – including messaging, which is a big plus. And if you’d like to upgrade, the VIP package is quite reasonable. Unfortunately, however, the site’s been quite glitchy, making it hard to give us a feel for the experience. 2.4 / 5.
