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.

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.

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.
