For gay and bi men
Find your people, and the places that welcome you.
manderlust is where gay and bi men meet, find the bars, cafés and spaces that feel like theirs, and get together in circles of their own. Safely, privately, and on your terms.
- 18+ only
- Approximate locations
- Nothing about you in your inbox
Safety and privacy, first
Built so you can relax
Meeting people should feel good, not risky. These are the rules manderlust runs on, for everyone, from the first day.
Approximate locations only
Your pin is a random point near you, as far off as you choose, and never your address. You can leave the map whenever you like.
Everyone is 18 or over
People, messages and circles open only after the 18+ check, so everyone you meet here has passed it too.
You choose who sees what
Albums for friends, followers or only you. Who may message you. Whether you’re on the map at all.
Block and report
Blocking hides you from each other everywhere. Profiles, messages, reviews and circles can all be reported.
Real moderation
Our staff review what’s reported and can hide or remove anything that breaks the rules. Every action is recorded.
Discreet by design
Notifications stay in the app, and nothing about your activity lands in your inbox. This page is safe to open anywhere.
The details are in our Privacy policy and Terms of use.
