I was talking to one of my guy friends about my crazy dating app adventures. He chimed in that he and his girlfriend had luck on MenNation, which I never heard of before. MenNation was founded in 1998 so I figured it's obviously doing something right if it's still around. I decided to check it out!
Warning: If you DO sign up and check it out, there are a tooooon of… spicy photos… right in the feed. 🙈
Who is MenNation app for?
MenNation is a place where people of all different sexualities can mingle and meet people from all over the world. It's mostly used for casual dating/hookups. Although MenNation caters to gay men, it's also for bisexuals, couples, singles, and trans people.
Is MenNation.com legit?
This one is a toughy. It's a legit, working dating site that people do use, but it doesn't seem to be as legit as other widely known websites. I couldn't find a MenNation app — only the desktop version or a mobile version of the site. Some reviews mentioned the lack of users for certain areas and lack of customer support. My best advice is to use the free version as extensively as possible and do your research before paying up.
The tl;dr on MenNation.com

Is MenNation only for gay men? According to my friend, there are members with varied sexual preferences, so couples or women could technically find someone here. It does seem predominantly male though.
What's the MenNation sign up & registration process like?
I could only sign up via desktop. My first impression was "what decade am I in?" The first two pages were easy — select gender/relationship status, who I'm looking for, DOB, some info about myself. For full access, your intro title must have at least 2 sentences.
What are the search capabilities for MenNation?
I was impressed by the search options with the free membership: age, gender, online now, filter by pic only, distance, membership level, and verified members.
Is MenNation.com free?
Heck yes! You get to check out MenNation.com for absolutely nothing.

So, final thoughts for my MenNation review?
It's a pretty decent dating app, just maybe not for women since it's very testosterone heavy. If you're NSFW sensitive, avoid this. But if you're open to a more spicy, racy type of dating website, give it a shot! Due to the lack of updates, this may be better for someone older who doesn't mind logging onto a desktop.
