Pros and cons

Pros

  • Audience focus is Gay and bi men, so browsing stays in a clear group rather than a general pool
  • Support runs on email, chat and phone, adding phone and chat alongside email and a help centre
  • A privacy policy and a do-not-sell option are in place, listed under Privacy policy and do-not-sell option
  • Membership is large at 7,241,122 active members, which gives depth to browse

Cons

  • Photo verification is not among its profile checks: No criminal background screening of members
  • Billing runs on Auto-renewal; can be turned off, so charges continue until you switch renewal off

Ready to try Mennation?

Who it suits

  • Gay and bi men who want a large pool to browse rather than a small matched community
  • Members comfortable with auto-renewal billing who will check the renewal setting themselves
  • Readers who want phone and chat help rather than email only

Who should look elsewhere

  • Readers who need every profile photo checked, since Taimi applies Photo verification on every profile
  • People who want a contractual age confirmation, which PUH.lv uses through 18+ age gate and contractual 18+ confirmation
  • Readers who want anti-fraud profile controls, since Mamba runs Verified-photo filter; anti-fraud profile blocking

Billing and cancelling

Check the renewal setting as soon as an account opens, because billing terms are Auto-renewal; can be turned off, so a plan keeps charging until you switch it off. On data, the service publishes Privacy policy and do-not-sell option, which gives members a written policy and a do-not-sell option. Read the policy before you add photos to a public profile.

The company behind it

The service is run by Various, Inc., with headquarters in the United States, so that is the name to look for on an invoice or in a dispute. Support runs on email, chat and phone, a set that reaches beyond email alone. Worth checking early whether you can reach a person when billing or account access goes wrong.

Frequently asked questions

What does Mennation cost per month?+

Across the site, listed starting prices run from €0.08 to €162.69 a month, and the median lands at €14. Those figures cover the whole site, so check its own plan page before you commit to a term, and weigh the free option against a paid tier.

Is there a free option to try first?+

A free-to-join model is the norm here, and the free model share across the listings is 100%. Free access usually caps messaging and profile extras, so compare what a free account gives you against a paid tier before you settle. Check the current terms on its own plan page.

Does Mennation verify photos or screen members?+

Profile checks are No criminal background screening of members, so read profiles with the same care you would anywhere else. If photo verification matters, Taimi applies Photo verification on every profile to every profile, and Mamba offers Verified-photo filter; anti-fraud profile blocking. Meet in public places and let a friend know where you are going.

Who is Mennation built for?+

The audience focus is Gay and bi men, so the pool is built around that group rather than a general audience. Its listed niches are gay and lgbtq, which keeps browsing narrow. A focused pool means more relevant profiles, with fewer categories outside it.

How do I stop a Mennation subscription?+

Billing terms are Auto-renewal; can be turned off, so the thing to manage is the auto-renewal setting rather than a notice period. Switch it off as soon as you no longer want charges to continue, and confirm the change through the help centre listed under email, chat and phone. Keep the confirmation for your own records.

What privacy controls does Mennation offer?+

Privacy handling is summarised as Privacy policy and do-not-sell option, which covers a written policy and a do-not-sell option. The do-not-sell option lets you ask for your details to be kept out of sale requests. Read the policy in full before you upload photos or documents.

How can I reach Mennation support?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone, so you can reach the team by phone, chat or email, with a help centre for common questions. Across the listings, 77.2% of brands offer a help centre, which puts Mennation in the mainstream group. For billing problems, phone is the quickest route listed.
