M4M, done properly
Men Seeking Men: Meet Men Near You Without the Classifieds
Since the personals disappeared, men seeking men have been pushed onto hookup grids or random forums. B8Mates gives you a better option: a location-based social app where profiles say what a man is looking for, chat is encrypted, and you can meet one mate or a whole Tribe.
Why B8Mates beats m4m classifieds
- Profiles that state what each man is looking for
- Distance, availability and host/travel on every card
- End-to-end encrypted chat — no public posts
- Events and Tribes for group meets
- Blocking, reporting and an 18+ only community
- No ads, no scraping, no spam
Say what you want, find who wants it
Every profile on B8Mates lists what the man is looking for — friends, hangouts, JO buddies, bate mates, hookups or a mix — plus hosting preferences and availability. Filter the Discover grid by availability, online status, new members or your M8s, and you are only talking to men who are a realistic match.
Unlike classifieds, nothing is public to the internet. You see men near you; strangers outside the app see nothing.
From first message to meeting safely
Chat is end-to-end encrypted, with photos, voice memos and the option to share your live location when you decide to. Hosts can keep an event address hidden until they have accepted someone. One-tap blocking and a reporting system reviewed by our team keep the community in check, and B8Mates is strictly 18+ — every member confirms his age when he joins.
More than one-on-one
Men seeking men are not only looking for one man. Events let you host or join group meets, Tribes gather men by interest or area, and group chats keep everyone organised. It is a social network, not a queue of profiles.

Frequently asked questions
Is B8Mates a replacement for men seeking men classifieds?+
Yes, and a safer one. Everything happens inside the app between 18+ members with real profiles and encrypted chat, instead of public posts and anonymous email — and because friendship is the default, the men you meet tend to stick around.
Can I use it without a face photo?+
Yes. Face photos can be hidden and revealed selectively, and many men use the app this way.
How far away are the men I see?+
The Discover grid sorts men by distance from you and shows the approximate distance on each card. You can also browse events and Tribes in your area.
Is it available outside Australia?+
Yes. B8Mates is available on iOS and Android worldwide. The community is growing fastest in Australia, the UK, the US and Europe.
