Manjam: Gay Social Networking App

Geosocial networking app for gay, bi, and curious men, featuring location-based search and chat functionality

What is Manjam?

Manjam is a popular geosocial networking application and website that specifically caters to gay, bisexual, and curious men looking to connect with one another. Originally launched in 2007, Manjam aims to provide a safe, welcoming online space for its target demographic to chat, set up dates, make new friends, and arrange hookups.

Functionality-wise, Manjam closely resembles many other dating and hookup apps. It features location-based searching to connect users with others nearby, as well as swiping and messaging capabilities. Users create a profile displaying photos and personal interests to attract potential matches. What sets Manjam apart is its strict focus on men seeking the company of other men. As such, it has cultivated a large, vibrant community of LGBTQ+ identifying individuals.

In addition to facilitating interaction between users via private messages and photo sharing, the platform also features public forums and blogs. These provide the opportunity for a more open exchange of ideas, discussions, advice-seeking, planning of meetups and events, and community building. The app is available on both iOS and Android mobile platforms, making it easily accessible for most smartphone users.

While primarily focused on the hookup scene associated with many all-male networking platforms, Manjam also presents a space where lifelong friendships and meaningful relationships can develop. Its longevity speaks to the ongoing need for digital meeting places catering to non-heterosexual men seeking casual and more serious bonds alike with those sharing their interests and life experiences.
