As one of the world’s oldest chat rooms, Chat Avenue continues to rake in new members with over 5,000 new monthly visitors globally.

Since the service values its users' privacy, there are no figures to determine how old the users are, and if they’re male or female.

Instead, members over 18 get to choose over a variety of chat rooms. From Adult Chat, Singles Chat, Dating Chat, and General Chat to the location-based and interest-based chat rooms, Chat Avenue made sure to cover as many bases as it can.

Consultation with Members

Encounter lots of people from different walks of life
Chat rooms are topic-based
Some of the group conversations have sexually explicit content
Members are active and responsive.
Chat rooms with niched topics such as "video games" have more serious chatters

You will encounter a lot of different people in Chat Avenue. Here are some of the conversations that happened inside the site:

Even if we told another person who is 19-years-old that we are only 15, he still proceeds to converse about sexually explicit topics.

In the Dating chat room, we entered as a 28-year-old woman and everything went fine. Since this is a "Dating" chat room, we expected that people would be more inclined towards a longer relationship.

In the Video Games chat room, we joined as a 30-year-old man. Out of the three, we had the most decent experience in this chat room. People actually talked about video games.

Chat Avenue Profile Quality

You may add other people who have created an account on Chat Avenue
There are a lot of fake profiles
The site does not verify the identity of users but they store IP addresses

The only information that the profile page holds are the username, image, gender, age, About me page, and online status. Although you may create an account, some chat rooms will only allow you to enter as a guest user. Some of these chat rooms are Adult chat and Sex chat.

Chat Avenue Real Life Review

"I experienced both the good and the bad in this dating site. First off, the chat rooms are always filled with people. You almost could not keep up with the conversations because of the number of people. That is a positive thing for me. However, sending a simple "hi" to the public chat rooms will gain you at least 3 private messages asking if you like cuddles and dicks, even when I'm in a Girls chat room. Overall, I will still use this chat site for fun, when I'm bored. But honestly, this does not seem like a good place to start looking if what I'm after is a serious relationship."
- Tom, 32
There are a lot of people who go online all the time so I always have someone to talk to. The problem is, chat rooms are always flooded with messages so it's hard to stay on a topic. It's fun, but there are some quirks to it.
- Chandler, 34, Nurse

Design and Usability

All the instructions are simple. It helps that the rules and regulations always pop up before you can join a chat room.

The charging times are short so there's no problem with how the functions work. The chat rooms have simple designs but you can definitely tell that they put some thought into it.

Every chat room has its own theme depending on the room's topic. Emojis and avatars are also designed for each room.

Editor's Conclusion

Chris Pleines
Founder of Datingscout and Author of the book "Online Dating for Dummies"

Chat Avenue will give you what you ask for--even things you didn't. Since it is really easy to enter a chat room, you are never sure if there is a truth, even on the slightest, to who they claim to be. Even Chat Avenue recognized this and tells its users that "not everyone is who they seem to be." Unless you have been talking to and chatting to that person for a significant amount of time, you are not sure of his or her intentions. Users should always be vigilant especially since there is a high volume of people here who will definitely solicit for your videos or photos in specific chat rooms.This is not to say that there are no positive things to be found in Chat Avenue. Actually, there is. The site has made it easier for people in faraway places to connect through this platform. All the functionalities are free and they are cooperative with the authorities as they have mentioned inside the site. This may well be the reason why they are still operating after almost a decade. However, there are way too many red flags for abuse found on their users. If you want to keep your online dating safer, you may check out our Dating Apps category.
