"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
There are plenty of special features in Manhunt waiting for you when you sign up. Some of them are free and some require a premium membership, but they all make sure you're having 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 videoPaid
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, unlock 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.tvPaid

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

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