Do bear in mind that Manhunt is an adult dating site, so you must be over 18 to join. Then you may supply your location either manually or through Manhunt. When signing up, you must supply a valid username, email, password, and age. You can choose which ones will be public or private. You can add up to 15 more sexy pics of yourself. Once you wish to contact another member through messaging, you will need email verification and a profile pic to get moving. Personal details can then be added at your leisure. Registration on Manhunt is fast and free and does not require the usual verification via email. The Manhunt is owned by co-creators Jonathan Crutchley and Larry Basile under the banner of Online Buddies, Inc. In 2006 Manhunt became rated as the largest gay-orientated site online. When phone-based dating services began to lose popularity, Manhunt moved onto a digital platform. The Manhunt was founded on April 1st, 2001, in Massachusetts and was originally a phone-based gay dating service.
