Let’s face it: Trying to take strangers home from the bar or constantly hitting up your ex who you know is DTF can get old. But what are you supposed to do?
It might be time to try out an online hookup app.
When we think dating sites, we usually think about sites like PlentyOfFish, Zoosk and other marriage-minded options. But not every single person is looking for a long-term committed relationship.
Hookup apps operate on the philosophy that meeting someone special doesn’t need to be a big complicated thing. Besides, sometimes it’s just nice to feel those butterflies of meeting someone new — even if you know it’s not going to last.
So whether you’re looking for some no-strings-attached sex or are just looking to send some naughty photos back and forth, here are our picks for the best hookup apps right now:
AdultFriendFinder
Live videos, group chats, and more monthly visitors than eharmony makes AdultFriendFinder great for finding a fling.
Not only is AFF one of the best sites for casual hookups — it’s also one of the best sites for finding swingers, threesomes, or just about any other sexual encounter. More than 77 million horny singles and couples use Adult Friend Finder, and you can join for free.
To message new people, you need a gold membership, but to receive messages it’s completely free. This structure balances out the girl to guy ratio perfectly, and it’s easy to find a match.
Adult Friend Finder has a lot of other cool features, too. It feels more like a community more than other sites. There’s a forum for sharing stories, asking questions, and posting ads for local sex meetups. The two-way video chat feature lets you get to know someone before you meet them. Another thing you might like is member verification, because you know whose pictures are real.
Match
We know what you’re thinking: “How TF am I gonna find a hookup on a relationship site?”
Yes, we know Match isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you’re only interested in a hook up, but it also has 7.4 million paid users. Even if you’re not looking for a long-term relationship like many members, there’s a pretty high chance you’ll find a ton of users also looking for something casual.
One main difference between Match and the other sites we’ve tried is that Match sees a way more diverse age range. Sure, there are a ton of young people on Match who are probably on Tinder as well, but Match also attracts people who are a little more mature and probably more experienced.
Tinder
The place where you’ll find everyone you know, a ton of people you don’t know, and where you can go to find a date in under 10 minutes.
Tinder may not want to advertise as such, but we all know what it’s mostly used for. Yeah yeah, we know the amount of success stories of happy couples who met on Tinder is growing rapidly, but it’s easier to find a date for the night than it is to find someone looking for a long term relationship.
