There was yahoo chat rooms, there was Romeo, there was Indiantimes chatroom called Men2men. Craigslist. There was no dirth of platforms at that time. Even the crowd was good, no chapri or downmarket crowd. Decent people. |

My first laptop was in 2004 & we had Yahoo chat rooms from where I’ve made some lifetime connections that still exist. Crimes within community or perpetrations against it were non existent, reporting also was negligible so can’t comment much. |

I was using the gay rooms on Rediffchat and Indiatimes. Rediff used to be the best, all real instant meets after quick chats. Used to go to cybercafe for 30 mins, enter those Rediff chat rooms and I would come out with confirmed appointments every time. Those days no phones, so had to take my hookups' addresses and a meetup time before leaving the cybercafe. Since operating a computer demanded a certain intellect, my hookups were all educated decent crowd mostly young, and hardly faced ghosting. Fortunately, Ohmojo does has quality folks unlike dating apps like Grindr. |

I remember using Orkut at that time… have met one guy but I was in my college days and that guy was in his 35. I was scared as it was my first time. Didn’t happen much.
Now I think I missed the opportunity.
Yes but was able to connect to a lot of guys through Orkut. |

Yahoo rooms were in late 1990s and early 2000s....
I started using them when I was grade 9.
Mobile phones were not there.
Like Vish81 said
We used to fix a time and place along with dress code, t-shirt colour, bike car colour number etc and be there on time.
What I really enjoyed was meeting over coffee, dinner etc....
Unlike today when we meet only if one has place |

We could meet lots of foreigners as they would check the local scene while in the city. Those days hotels were very cool, noone needed any ID to enter an hotel. Just say any name on the register and get into the room. No Aadhar or any ither identity. Guests were allowed in the room. Chat on Indiatimes, Yahoo etc. Fix time and meet. I was in teens and metany many corporate managers, Businessmen etc as those days only the educated and the rich had access to computer and internet. There was no cheap internet. Internet was ₹1/hr landline charge plus internet charges, which would cost around 50 rupees per hour, so the crowd was filtered, no fraudsters or slumdogs had access to it, only genuine educated English speaking people. |

While chatting i was lured by mature top and he took of virginity after *** and breeding me regularly for 2 months,i got addicted kept on requesting daily, one eve while *** he introduced me to Yahoo,romeo told me that you become a *** fine *** here daily. Since then no looking back. From Yahoo to gr and ohmojos cruising spots i offered my *** to so many ***. Enjoying it. |

There was yahoo messager room mumbai local chat 1. There were used to chat with other men. There was webcam and used to show moobs by opening couple of buttons. Cyber cafes used to have cabinet but couldn't used to do much. Just adjusting screen to see *** on webcam was possible.
But my first encounter was in washroom where I *** a *** very first time. It was like skinny pipe blown with some salty taste of precum. It was fun days that time. |

Even before windows chats used to happen on web based sites. Yahoo Indiatimes etc etc. then Gay Romeo came. As internet acces was to elites the Chhapri crowd was not on this sites. For that you had cruising places toilets and loos….. |

Somewhere between 2005-7 there was a chatroom from the mobile service provider, i remember sending an message to a specific number, with some random username and you get logged-in to a chatroom with just 25-30 members per room. Those days everyone didn't have these fancy smartphone. So you had to judge the person by the way he chatted, or is it worth sharing your contact details.
Orkut was another source finding and chatting with guys within your radar or accross the globe.
Yahoo chatroom: the bestest, it was so cool back then, ASL plz😉 🤭 |

The old timers would agree with me probably.
The 90s and 200*'s were something! Truly swinging 😜
I mean the internet boom and cyber cafes happened late 90s.
However the cruising culture was crazy. It took an accidental entry to a "peak hour" station loos or bus stop loos to get hooked. Once you knew what to look for, everything became easy.
Local platform loos were the hook-up "joints" which never disappointed. 😂
Every line had gems to offer. Western line - Dadar, Bandra, Andheri, Borivali, Dahisar, Bhayandar, Vasai, Naigaon.
Central - Dadar, Kurla, Ghatkopar, Thane etc.
Harbor - Wadala, GTB, Kurla, Chembur, Vashi, Belapur.
Dadar, Andheri, Dahisar,Vashi, Kurla were my fav. A random meet there could lead to a meeting outside even a quick trip to someones home nearby. And then you had the local trains. If lucky, you could end up with your own train buddy who would give you an early morning *** every day. And if all worked out - even a quick head, on one of the above stations.
I did meet quite a few good people through the chat room, Yahoo, Rediff etc, however the thrill of cruising was totally different. |

This chat room is so nostalgic it just brought back so many memories, from my 1st yahoo hookup to my 1st boyfriend and those nude web cam shows we used to put up, god it was so much fun and adventurous for that time.
Miss those days 😜 |
