F or any gay man looking to meet like-minded other gay men, this is definitely an option to try. There are several choices available from free memberships to premium, and of course, the features vary accordingly. One interesting area to note is the non-dating information that might catch anyone’s eye like their “seat filler” theater review videos. There is no doubt, however, that this is a website devoted to gay matches. Overall, this is a well-designed website.
Website’s User Friendliness
From the very first time you pull up the site, you know exactly what GayMtl.ca is about and truly, that is what works in regards to user friendliness. For this site, it is easy to spot the “Sign in” area for members and just as easy to see the “Not a member yet” link in order to get started for newbies. Viewers are instantly drawn to the visuals as their eyes dance around on the page admiring the obvious male models as well as featured members. In addition, the top menu straightforwardly displays the standard selections of any dating/relationship site such as “chat,” “find members,” “profile,” and so on. The bottom menu gives access to other expected areas of a site from “company information,” to “user agreement,” to “help” and more. For example, if I wanted to know the code of conduct and quality control of GayMtl.ca, I can simply click on “User Agreement” and be taken to a page that lays out all the rules, policies, and requirements of the site in clear and specific detail. This is a highly useful feature for someone who may be a little hesitant to try this type of dating website service. Another really useful example is the “Help” page. By selecting this link, users are presented a list of FAQs that answers just about any question a potential user could have. Personally, if I were thinking of trying an online dating service, this would be my first area of study. GayMtl.ca gets high marks from this reviewer in providing a well-developed “Help” section. Nevertheless, if you are interested in finding out prices and such, you won’t get very far without joining, at least as a free member to begin. Once you’ve made that bit of commitment, more information will be available to you.
