  • Casual dating site for gay singles or couples
  • Has members across the globe
  • Majority of the members is from the US
  • More female members than expected
  • High site access through mobile devices

You'll notice that GayFriendFinder is geared toward gay singles or couples during registration. However, it is surprising to note that the site has a high rate of female memberships—about 44% of them—and they could be the other half of the couples since the site is also open to people in a relationship.

A trend in membership also reveals that most members are in their 20s and 30s. This means that most of them are millennials, which explains why most of them access the site through mobile rather than a desktop computer, with 87% and 13%, respectively.

Furthermore, GayFriendFinder enjoys a diverse membership portfolio. Its members are all coming from different parts of the world. The top five countries where visitors come from are the United States, Brazil, Germany, South Korea, and Spain.

Gayfriendfinder Message Center
  • Multiple free contacting features
  • Access to chatrooms is available for free
  • Private messaging requires premium membership
  • Easy browsing of users through lists
  • Flirt with members

    Like any other dating site or app, it is mandatory that it has communication tools that users can use to connect with other members. GayFriendFinder has several contacting options for its users. Some of them are as follows:

    Private Messaging

    GayFriendFinder offers private messaging between members. This can be accessed through the site's message center. However, this contacting feature can only be accessed if you are a paying member of the site.

    Personal Lists and Admirers

    By adding members to any of your personal lists below, you increase your chance of getting noticed by them. These members will be categorized based on your activity in relation to them.

    • Hotlist

    These are members whom you find hot when you use the Hot or Not feature. This contacting feature is free.

    • Flirts

    Flirts can be sent to any user you're interested in through the message center. So you need to have a premium membership for this.

    • Views

    This list is composed of members whom you viewed. You also need a premium membership so that you can access this since you won't be able to view profiles for free.

    On the other hand, if members find you hot or flirt with you or view your profile, a notification will be sent to you. Also, you will see them in your Hotlisted Me, Flirted with Me, and Who Viewed Me lists.

    Chat rooms

    Chat rooms are free for you to access. All you need to do is enter a chat room that fits your interest. However, based on research, most chat rooms can slow, and not a lot of people are online.

    Groups

    The same with chat rooms, your access to groups is free. Groups are sectioned accordingly and lumped together based on topics. These groups also serve as online forums where you can discuss anything under the sun.
