For someone only interested in social chatting, if it's true that regular dating apps are unpleasant for men, there's always the option of gay dating apps. You do have to be tolerant of some amount of un-requested nudity, but otherwise it is a good option for just finding chat partners.
If you're just looking for chatting partners, language exchange apps are going to be much better due to the asymmetric desire to learn English and the fact that just by talking, you're providing value to the other person.
