Ease of Use

The registration process on MenNation is certainly one of the simpler ones you will find on an online dating website, and both paying and non-paying options use the same registration process. It takes five steps, with standard information such as your email, age, location all being required details for your profile. There are some optional details to fill out too, such as race, sexual orientation (gay, bi, bi-curious), followed by the final section where you write a short paragraph about yourself.

Special Features

Get Local

A great feature that is one of the first that you may notice is that you can see active users that are currently online, and when used with a tool that searches for members near your location, it can be a great way to find a quick hook-up. The local search tool can actually be used for a number of different searches. You can find and join local groups and discussions going on there, as well as finding blog posts by nearby members.

Video chat and videos library

There is also a catalogue of over 2,000 adult online videos available for members, which is certainly a distinct feature for this particular website. Members can upload their videos, and there is also a video chat option that even free account holders can use. The only restriction is that premium members can watch an unlimited number of webcam streams, while for standard membership you get to watch only one stream at a time.

Cupid Search

This service available to all members consists of a list of suggestions of other online daters you are deemed to be compatible with, according to the site’s compatibility algorithm.

Hotlist

Browsing profiles? Any time you find someone who looks interesting you can add him to the Hotlist. Free account holders have a limit of 200 members on the Hotlist, while premium members can go up to 1,000.

Site Safety

The age limit for the website is 18, and the privacy policy and general etiquette of the website are very much geared towards respecting the privacy of users. Of course, caution should always be taken if you have privacy concerns. MenNation warns its users that they do not perform criminal background checks upon their members and provide tips for how to stay safe while online dating. You can also report any abuse or misuse that you might have experienced as well.

Customer support

With so many different ways to receive help, you can easily get answers to your questions. Help is offered by Live Chat, email, an FAQ section, and even a member-generated blog.

  • Live Online Chat
    Men Nation has an easy-too-use live chat option where you can directly speak with an agent.
  • Email
    Another great way to get support is by emailing the site. They provide a quick and reliable response to all questions.
  • FAQ
    There is a comprehensive FAQ section on the site that covers virtually every topic regarding Men Nation.
  • Blog
    On Men Nation, you can conect with other members using the site's blog. Users can share media and text as a way of getting more coverage.

Final Word

If you are a gay or bisexual male looking for some casual fun, then MenNation is certainly worth your time. With plenty of active users, there is a high percentage of matching up with men from your local area or at least from someone close by, and you shouldn’t struggle to find a guy to your liking either. As with most dating websites, the core features are limited for free users. To unlock the real potential, purchasing a gold membership will probably end up working out for the better anyway, as it allows access to a trove of great features that will leave you coming back for more.
