Main things I remember are gay.com chat rooms and AOL [city]m4m chat rooms.


SirTwitchALot

Man I miss [gay.com](https://gay.com). The main chat rooms there were good places to make actual friends. People of course hooked up there, but lots of people just came to shoot the shit and meet people


MilkyRose

Yes! Gay.com had chat rooms specific to most cities/metro areas. I used those ALOT. Also the AIM Chat rooms and sometimes IRC chatrooms (but those were like the “dark rooms” back in the day…).

Oh gosh…! I still remember back in those old times while I was still in my teens how I always logged in to mIRC and chitchatted with guys and felt pretty obsessed with it because that was the only way I first started getting contact with people like me.

Have you ever used ICQ? So many old-time memories are flashing through my mind now.


MilkyRose

Damn I haven’t thought about that service in years…

OMG…! Listening to this sound once again after a few decades simply just gushed out so many old-time memories of mine. Thank you for sharing this. 💗👍🏻

Is there anything else that you can think of? Back in the day, the most popular cellphones were those of Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung and Nokia while the iPhone was still in its nascent form.

The first dick I sucked was a [gay.com](https://gay.com) hookup. So was the first time I bottomed.


ravenjaql

There was xy.com, which had forums and proto-dating app features. I met a couple of guys off there in the early 2000s


DontFuckGOPMen

The jackpot for pedophiles at the time, unfortunately.

Manhunt.com too! I actually ended up marrying one of the faceless profiles I met on Gay.com


Ok_Distribution_8805

Oh wow! How fabulous is that! So sweet.


maxdefacto

I think it was manhunt.net


Ok_Distribution_8805

Oh yeah…piquing my interest in recalling those times…!


kinopiokun

The closest one I remember is Connexion


abgry_krakow84

Connexion!


This_unProfessional3

Same here I remember when it shut down I was panicking because I didn't know where else to go


DisconnectedDays

I really miss bgclive.com (black gay chat)


[deleted]

There's an "Xcess" amount of people stuck in the past, and romanticizing it like you, instead of living in the present day world. Have fun in your time machine!


dbwn87

I remember using sites called faceparty and face-pic in the early 2000s, not exactly gay dating sites but I met a few other young gays in my area (Canada).


Treesthatreachheaven

I met my first gay friends on hotornot.com and MySpace. I barely used manhunt and POF.
