I can’t possibly do a full GaysTryst review and talk about all the features without mentioning the visual vacker italian fru aspect. As you may have already seen if you’re a little impatient and have clicked through to the platform already, GaysTryst is a very aesthetically pleasing website, and the design is one of my favourite features of the whole platform. The overall design is easy to use and extremely intuitive, and resembles most run-of-the-mill hookup sites, but with a tasteful aesthetic that makes you feel like you’re using a trustworthy website. When you use as many hookup and dating websites as I do, you sort of get a feel for the ones that are a little low quality and you. GaysTryst has gone above and beyond to create a space that looks and feels comfortable and safe, and personally that’s something I really appreciate.
A website is only as good as its community – that’s a rule I live by. Sure, you can have a great website, but if the community is either too small, too large, or simply low quality, it’s not going to work out. When it comes to the regular users on GaysTryst, I was not disappointed in the slightest. Let’s continue this GaysTryst review by talking a little bit about the guys you can expect to chat with.
This pretty huge community of single gay men is hard to beat on any other gay hookup site. There are hundreds of thousands of guys all looking for someone just like you, and quite honestly, I’ve rarely seen so many hot gay men in one place. Something I really appreciate is that most men add a little tag to their profile informing you of what type of guy they are: there are tags such as clean-cut, twink, bear and more. Personally, I like a bear, and there was absolutely no shortage of big, cuddly bears for me to pick from.
The age range is mostly men between the ages of 20 and 40, so whether you’re a late bloomer or a fresh-faced twink, you’ll be welcomed and be able to find someone close to your age. The competition can get pretty fierce though, and hot guys definitely like to play the field, so don’t think for a minute you’re the only one they’re messaging: you must try to stand out with your quick wit and good quality pictures.
GaysTryst review: account types and prices
As we already discussed earlier in our GaysTryst review, the platform offers a free account and a premium account. Let’s have a closer look at what exactly you can do with a free account as opposed to a paid account, and how much a subscription will cost you.
GaysTryst free account
There are several features that don’t require a premium account on GaysTryst, notably the messaging centre. As you may recall, we mentioned earlier that free accounts can send up to five private messages per day. However, you won’t be able to read more than five, and messages that aren’t read within a few hours will disappear, so if you’re not willing to miss out on any messages, you’ll need to subscribe.
You can also send out one daily “flirt cast” for free, which is cool – unfortunately, flirt casts usually mean you’ll get a big stream of new messages, which you won’t be able to read without a premium account.
Free users can also totally set up their profile with a picture and any information they wish to give: note that to see other guys photos, you’ll need a premium subscription (other than their profile photo of course).
