About 321chat
321chat.com has been online since 2002 – almost 20 years ago – and the current CEO, Greg Barrow, has over 20 years' experience building, managing, maintaining, and hosting different dating sites online. The CEO graduated in computer science and has a long history in websites, particularly dating and hook up sites.
Membership Base
321chat has a large and varied membership base. As a site popular for hook ups, it doesn’t focus on a particular age group or type of person; instead, it is place members from all backgrounds can meet other people and potential matches. The site is most popular in the USA, with most site users joining the site from the states. The site boasts over 40,000 new members every month. While the 321chat is most popular with members between the ages of 18 and 35, there is no upper age limit on the site, and it is possible to find both men and women of all ages (over 18) once you’ve signed up for the site.
321chat App
Nowadays, the majority of dating apps have a mobile or cell counterpart. 321chat, however, only offers a mobile app through Google, leaving Android and iOS users without. The mobile site is as sleek and easy to use as the web-based website – so there is no worry for members looking to access the chat site without having a laptop or computer. That said, the mobile version on 321chat works as well as you would expect an app to and puts no restrictions on online dating. 321chat offering an app on Google suggests that an app for 321chat will be released in the future.
Costs and Prices
There is a range of paid options available for members looking for paid memberships on the site. While many of the site's feature are free. To make the most of your time on the site, a paid membership is recommended. It costs just $15 to make an account VIP forever.
321chat Special Features
321chat has a number of unique special features, including:
Videos – upload videos.
Avatars – create your avatar.
Live Stream – reach other members on the site with a live stream.
Private Gallery - share explicit photos when you’re ready.
Emoji – use of emojis unlike on other dating sites.
Commandos - let the site help you with the best chat up lines.
Safety
All dating sites are expected to have fake and bot profiles – especially when the site is free to use. However, 321chat seem to be very good at weeding out any bots or suspect profiles and ensuring that most members are real and safe. If you have any issues with other members on the site, it is easy to block or report them through their profile.
Our Experience on 321chat
Overall, our 321chat review found the online dating site full of friendly members, focused on personality, and one of the best chat sites we have reviewed. 321chat is an online dating site that welcomes members of all ages, genders, and sexual orientations. The site is friendly and, while more popular with younger users, also has a wide range of members over 50. The site is easy to use, modern and works well on mobile – perfect for the modern online dating man or woman.
Sign up Process
Sign up at 321chat is simple like on most online dating sites. Simply visit the homepage and fill out the online registration form. You will be invited to choose the type of relationship you want before filling out a short questionnaire about yourself to help the site's algorithm match you with the best person for you. When filling out the questionnaire, you will be asked to provide your details, such as:
- Email address.
- Secret word.
- Age.
- Email address.
Profile Creation
Profile creation is fast and easy for those who wish to make one. 321chat doesn’t require a complete profile to access and use the dating site – but a full profile is always the best option if you want to attract new matches. When you’re ready to sign up for the site, set yourself 10 – 15 minutes aside to dedicate to building your profile.
Profiles on the site are very basic and shouldn’t take too much time to create. Fill in your age, gender, status, and location and fill in a simple “about me” section. Most people choose to keep their “about me” section to one paragraph, but you can find much longer and more detailed profiles on the site.
Searching and Matching
Searching and matchmaking on the site work very similarly to other popular dating sites. There is a search tool where you can select from several different categories, including; Asian, Teen, Adult, Singles Chat, Gay, Gay-Teen, Lesbian,20s, Black, Transgender, Latin, and Religion.
Otherwise, the site uses traditional matchmaking algorithms to match you with your ideal partner on the site. If you like someone in the like gallery and they like you back, you will be matched with one another – however, the site's search tool is often the fastest and direct way to filter through the members and find someone who's personality matches yours.
Contacting with Other Members
There are several different ways to contact other members on the site, and you don’t have to send a message to reach out simply. If you aren’t feeling confident enough to message someone directly, the chat rooms on the site are a great way to jump into conversations, and it’s much easier to invite someone you’re already speaking to, to a private chat.
If you don’t want to search for other people on the site, the photo gallery is a great place to browse other users' photos and let the ones you like know without having to send any messages or connection requests.
Experts Conclusion
Our 321chat review found the dating site easy to use, simple to contact other members on, and an overall fun environment to find singles for hookups and maybe more. The site focuses on matching people for fast and no strings attached hookups – but throughout our review, we found plenty of singles looking for something more serious.
The current lack of app on iOS and Android is a downfall, but the app is launched soon on both platforms, with the app available on other marketplaces already. Otherwise, the site design is sleek and easy to use – with the mobile version making up for the current lack of app.
