Who is signed up on Manhunt in Singapore?

Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on Manhunt from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.

Manhunt has members all over the globe, and this is evident with the 9 languages offered in the website. There are 32,000 members in Singapore. Most members go on the site with the intention of meeting for casual sex. People from the US visit the site the most, with Argentina following closely, and then Mexico. Last month, the website had an average of 8.5 million visits.

★★★★★ 3.0/5

  • Has a mobile site for Android users

The app is free to download and is only available for iOS users. The app has a modern and sophisticated design. The functions are similar to that of other common dating apps, so finding your way around isn't too hard. The app is available in nine languages which makes it more accessible to other members of different nationalities. Unfortunately, push notifications don't work on the app, so you have to manually check whether you got new messages. The Manhunt app can be used with any Apple device and can be used simultaneously with other applications. For Android users, they may access Manhunt through its mobile site instead.

Our field test

★★★★★ 4.0/5

"I'm not gonna lie; I'm a promiscuous guy. I like sex but I don't have the time nor the energy for relationships. I'm glad there's still a lot of members in my city who haven't fully migrated to the most popular gay hookup app, you know the one. I just feel that Manhunt is safer, thanks to their HIV/AIDS resource page. I know I've visited it a few times. Better safe than sorry." Male Writer (28)

Design & usability

The website has certainly upgraded from its clunky icons and questionable layout back in the early 2000's, but it's priorities are still up for debate. For reference, when you log in to the website, the grid of nearby men only take up a quarter of the page on the top left. The rest is filled with ads, and features that can easily be mistaken for ads. However, the additional settings are well-placed. They really pulled out all the stops to include all the necessities of the members.

Special features

Some features are free, others need premium membership. Sign up, and you get Manhunt's special features for an enjoyable and naughty time on the website.

Finding people 1

Track ListFree

This feature lets you see the latest 50 guys who viewed your profile. You can check out this list in two ways: on your homepage or on the menu toolbar on the top right. You can choose to not appear in someone else's Track List. This feature cannot be turned off and names of members cannot be removed from the list.

Messaging and contact 2

1-to-1 video

This is a new feature that allows you to video and audio chat privately with any other member on Manhunt. Unlike common video chatting systems, 1-to-1 video does no allow typing. It's for video and audio only. Currently, it is a premium-exclusive feature. Free members can receive calls though, but paying members can initiate and receive calls whenever they want.

Manhunt ConversationFree

Manhunt Conversation is basically an instant messaging feature that lets you send chats faster and more directly. In Conversations you'll get real-time chats, get private photos faster, send photos directly, send GIFs, and get to share your location.

Community and events 1

Board

The Board is a type of feed where you can upload quick posts ranging from what you want, who you want to do it with, and everything in between. You can set an expiration time/date and your post will be deleted without a trace. You don't need to reveal your name in your message, but you can add a photo to make your invite more appealing. Users who like what they see can "Write back" and their message will arrive in your inbox.

Other extras 1

TugHub.tv

TugHub is a porn website exclusively available for premium Manhunt members. It has hundreds of videos available to view and download. Scenes are added every other day, and there are dozens of video categories.

Manhunt FAQ

Who owns Manhunt?

When was Manhunt created?

It was originally launched as a telephone dating service in April 1, 2001, but they expanded to the online website shortly after.

Is there a Manhunt app?

Yes, but only for iOS devices. Android users can access Manhunt through the mobile browser.

USABILITY

How does Manhunt work?

After you've created your profile, Manhunt shows you some potential matches based on your preferred distance, last login, and other specific criteria.

How many photos can I upload?

You can upload 16 photos "including dick pics, ass pics, and sex pics".

Can I change the language on my account?

What activities are allowed in Member videos?

Graphic content is allowed (as long as all the participants in the video are above 18 years old). As a rule of thumb, activities that are illegal in federal law are not allowed in Manhunt and could get your account deleted.

I have a notification but when I look there is no message.

Since Apple guidelines prohibit Manhunt from displaying images the message must be viewed from your desktop or laptop.

Why are all the profile images appearing blank on the app and/or mobile version of Manhunt?

Here is what you can do if you have already cleared your cache and cookies:

Switch between Cellular Data and WiFi or vice versa.

This is usually caused by a poor connection between Manhunt's servers and your service provider.
