If you are fed up with the same old hook-up sites, as I call them, and want to try something new... actually if you want to be in at the start of something new, then you might want to go and view GCruise. This is the latest gay on-line cruising and hook-up site to hit the web and, from my first impressions of it, it looks like it's going to be a goody.

Here we have a gay adult personals site that incorporates a live amateur webcam community. There is a quick and safe, free, registration process and, once you've got your log in details, entering the members' area is simple. From the first page you have a whole heap of places to go and things to do. You can search for guys who match your profile but first you will have to create a profile. (More about that in a moment.) You can upload and view what the site calls 'home videos', but they're probably not going to be of your holidays, though why not? You can add or read erotic stories or go to the live chat area. There are members' polls running too and some advertisements for other pay sites. (Well GCruise has got to make some revenue.)

That was the left menu, over on the centre of the page is where you find your 'what to do next' page. The simple to follow advice and instructions are indicative of this simple to use site and the whole set up so far has been easy to use. You are advised to upload a photo or two of yourself and increase your chances of finding a match. It's always best to put up a recent face pic and maybe some more horny ones of yourself too. I for one am always drawn more to members with face pics. There are various subheadings in your profile where you can put as much information about yourself and what you're looking for as you want and again we're advised to put as much as possible. Don't over do it but be honest. Actually I've seen some where guys put poems and stuff and that turns me off - I want information not a fairy story. But it's up to you of course. The profile complete you can then go off and search for guys who match up.

As for other options once you are fully profiled and set to go: You can simply search for guys who are near you with the location finder or take pot luck in the random search; the home videos run nice and smoothly and the ones I saw were great quality, you could rate them all too and they come with the members' profile linked. Similarly you could read and rate the members' stories and add your own. Each story was linked to the members' profile and you can add it or him to your favourites collection. The profile photos run on Flash so they pop up and hover over the main screen when you click them, another feature that gives this site a classy feel.

Apart from all those interesting features you have the video chat department. There were 20 different rooms here and they were rated as PG or Adult depending on what you could do in them I guess.

Bottom Line:
On the whole I had no trouble looking around and enjoying my time there. I even did a local search and found some guys near me who I'd never seen on a personals site before - a test I always run when looking at such sites. So I get the impression that this one is going to run and run. The profile set up and other options are great, more than standard, and the ease of use is perfect. There are clear instructions and help and already there are hundreds of guys signed up and waiting to hear from you.
