Founded in 2001, Online Buddies was created during the evolution of personal advertisements, as our members embraced the transition from telephone personals to online dating. Beginning with the launch of Manhunt, a Boston-based site catering to the local gay community, Online Buddies has expanded to serve the needs of our members across the globe. We are strategically headquartered in the Kendall Square area of Cambridge, Massachusetts, an area which is home to several other leading United States technology companies.
