• How To Break Up With A “Situationship” - A situationship is, essentially, a relationship without a clear definition or label.

• How Does the Perception of Sex Differences Between Men and Women? - Sex is an essential part of the man-woman relationship. While it is not exclusive to just humans, you can easily feel that it’s different from humans. Particularly in the way that men and women perceive sex as being very different. Although the physiological process underlying sex and sexual arousal in both genders is the same, the subjective sexual experience in males and women is quite different. While men will love to have sex, not minding certain conditions, women love to do it only when the conditions are right. This is a stereotype, but how true is it? Is it also common knowledge that the sexual drive of men is higher than those of women?
• Set Boundaries Earlier on in Relationships, and Save Yourself Heartache, Energy and Money - The internet is filed with articles about the importance of setting boundaries. Well-meaning as they are, most don’t paint a clear picture of how boundaries actually work, and more importantly, why we willingly relinquish power and our self-respect to partners. I've heard of countless stories of guys who failed to read the red flags and set boundaries, all because they feared their women would leave them. But guess what, you’re probably better off without a woman who displays these signs.

It has been quite some time since we have enjoyed a casual encounter with another person at a bar, party, or event. Let’s change our approach and shift to online. This makes it easier to find local individuals who are ready for a hookup and more.

The internet is a great place to search for single people who are interested in hooking up. If you familiarize yourself with the best hookup sites for adults, you can meet with those who are nearby with no strings attached.

These hookup sites allow you to enter in things you are interested in or attracted to such as fetishes, age range, and relationship status. This opens up a range of options for you who match your dating preferences.

The purpose of this post is to help you figure out the best hookup sites according to your preferences and desires. Let’s get started.

Best Casual Dating Sites

Here are our 5 best sites according to the categories out of the 7 we have mentioned in this review:

1. Tinder – Best Casual Dating App
2. Ashley Madison – Best Tinder Alternative For Casual Dating
3. Bumble – Best Dating App For Women
4. Adult Friend Finder – Oldest Adult Dating Site
5. Grindr – Hookup Dating App for Gay People

#1. Tinder – Best Casual Dating App

Overview

Tinder is an easy-to-use hookup app. Their sign-up is like other sites – you enter your name, gender, age, email address, and a CAPTCHA to ensure you are not a robot. You can even receive notifications in your browser if somebody shows interest in you.

This service is very app-heavy, but you can still use it on your desktop PC or laptop. You can get as detailed or as minimal with your profile as you like. It is not one of those hookup websites that requires you to input detailed information about yourself.

You can choose whether you are looking for men or women, their distance (Tinder only goes up to 100 miles away), and your preferred age range. If you prefer not to be seen, put your profile in the Card Stack, and you will be able to see the available profiles, but they can’t see you in the normal search function.

This is a suitable hookup option for people who have some individuals they are speaking to and do not want to be bothered by new hookup matches.

Tinder Plus is a paid hookup app and grants you unlimited rewinds (you can undo a swipe), unlimited likes, and one free Boost (increases your visibility) each month. You can also go swiping around the globe.

Ads can be turned off, as well as who can see you. Tinder Gold is the best dating app that lets you see people you’ve already matched with before swiping and grants you access to Top Picks, which non-Gold people see only a few of at one time.

Pros

• Free to use
• Easy to swipe and see the matches in your area
• The interface is perfect for mobile devices

Cons

• The charges on Tinder can add up quickly

#2. Ashley Madison – Best Tinder Alternative

Overview

The Ashley Madison free hookup website is easy to use and has over 50 million users. Many are from the USA- about 47%, to be exact- and women are free to use this dating site as they like. Meanwhile, men have to pay to respond to dates, which we found to be rather unfair.

The website works like most other hookup sites of its kind. You log in, and you enter the criteria you’re looking for in a partner. You then search for matches in your area and see what you can find.

Bear in mind that this website like other hookup sites is dedicated to affairs. This means that many of the users you encounter are likely going to be married or in a relationship. That being said, singles should not shy away from this hookup website. Plenty of single folks have found casual encounters on these types of hookup sites which they enjoyed.

Now, let’s talk about pricing. Ashley Madison does everything based on a “Credit” system. You will use real money to purchase credits that give you features like boosting your profile for greater visibility, sending gifts, and reading emails.

You can choose between three credit tiers: Elite, Classic, and Basic. These were $249, $149, and $49, respectively, last we checked. These are bought on a non-subscription basis, which is good because you don’t need to worry about recurring charges on your card.

Pros

• No fake profiles to weed through
• Keeps your desire for an affair discreet
• Women pay nothing to use it

Cons

• Men have to pay to respond to suitors, women do not

#3. Adult Friend Finder – Overall Best Hookup Site

Overview

This hookup site is a classic in the world of casual sex, and it’s been around longer than you know. Founded by Andrew Conru in 1996, this hook-up site grew from just being in California to being a worldwide enterprise dedicated to casual sex.

There are over 8 million users for Adult Friend Finder, and their login pages are well-equipped to handle the traffic of people looking for casual dating and one-night stands. The registration process is fast and easy- you can make a profile in 5 minutes or less.

You can message people the old-fashioned way, but there are other ways to stay connected to people you’re interested in for one-night stands or hookups. Groups, live streams, even people’s pages allow for the sharing of erotic stories and encounters they’ve had.

Adult Friend Finder is a hookup site that welcomes people of all sexualities. If casual sex is something you enjoy, this is the hookup site you should consider applying to.

Pricing is free when you sign up for this hookup site, however, the features that come with a free account are not as good as the paid features. This dating site is worth investing in a membership if hooking up casually is something you know interests you.

You can do a yearlong membership which is the best value out there, or you can choose a monthly or three-month plan. With a huge base of users to connect with and plenty of fun erotic content to consume, this dating site is worth it.

Pros

• Many free search filters and options
• Offers “message ideas” if you don’t know what to say
• Uses token system to connect with and reward others

Cons

• Free profiles are very limited in what they can do

#4. Bumble – Free Hookup Site For Women

Overview

Bumble is excellent for women of all sexualities because it lets them control the matches. It is one of the best dating apps, much like Tinder, but only ladies can initiate a chat. If you fail to start a conversation within a day, the match will disappear.

Such kinds of Adult dating sites and apps are designed to safeguard women against those unsolicited pictures they often get on dating sites. Bumble puts the ladies in charge and helps them make the sort of connections they want to make, whether it’s just to have fun or start something serious.

This adult dating app works in men’s favor as well, as it promotes casual encounters as well as friends with benefits. It helps them see what women are serious about meeting and pressure them to message the women first and make conversation.

Bumble is free to use, but if you would like to pay for extras, Bumble Boost, Bumble Premium, SuperSwipe, and Spotlight exist. These help you get noticed more, undo messages, rematch with connections that have expired, and more. They are great to have, but not necessary to have fun on Bumble.

Pros

• A great way for women to feel safe and in control
• It’s free to use
• Offers homosexual matchmaking

Cons

• Lacks a variety of gender identity options such as trans or non-binary

#5. Seeking – Best Female to Male Ratio

Overview

If you are a sugar baby and would like a safe and reliable place to find your sugar daddies or mama, as this dating site has a high female to male ratio, this is the place to start. This adult dating website has been around since 2006 and has kept the same easy-to-use layout.

Sign-up is nice and easy; you only need to fill out a registration form with your personal information. If you are a college student looking to be a sugar baby, you can upgrade your membership to the premium level, totally free, by using your college email.

It takes about 10 minutes in total to complete this registration. The information they request is all standard, nothing too personal. The site is also LGBTQ+ friendly.

You will browse through the profiles and even the suggestions the algorithm recommends to you to make contact. You can send messages to anybody for free, but profile photos are needed on both sides to send a message. If you want to message people without a profile photo, you will need to pay for a premium membership.

Profile quality is good, but you will run into a fair amount of fakes and bots when it comes to sugar babies. All profile photos have to be approved before posting, which does help mitigate this problem but doesn’t eliminate it.

Some parts of your profile can be set to private, which is great because you have to grant permission to people to let them view it or ask permission if you are the interested party.

Pricing is $20 a month for the sugar babies or $45 for three months. For the sugar daddies and mommies, it will be $80 or $250 a month, the latter being for the Diamond Membership. So, it’s not cheap, but the quality of members will be worth the price.

Pros

• Free trial available, lets you see photos of members
• An algorithm helps you find quality matches
• Signup is fast

Cons

• It’s pricier than your other ordinary online dating sites

#6. Grindr – Hookup site for Gay People

Overview

There are 3.6 million users a day on Grindr, in nearly 200 countries around the world. These are gay men looking for fun, serious relationships, or casual one-night stand affairs. This dating site has received plenty of awards- consider the iDate Awards conference where it got “Best Mobile Dating App” a total of three times. Well, No doubt it is one of the best hookup sites in the industry!

We like that this hookup app is not full of nonsense- you can do all you need for free and enjoy fun upgrades for a reasonable price if you want them. To start enjoying this hookup app, just sign up with your email address, birthday, and create a password. Then, you switch on the location on your phone to see what matches start coming in for you.

The dating app is so easy on the eyes, and the profiles are fun to peruse. By indicating your preferences on your profile, it will make it easy for you to find an individual of your interest. Once you explore your many options, you can message people that you are drawn by.

Grindr Xtra costs $25 a month in terms of pricing, or you can buy 3 months for $21, 6 months for $30, or 12 months for $48. Grindr Unlimited costs $50 and gets you all the features of Grindr Xtra, plus the chance to browse incognito, see typing status and undo sent photos and messages, and much more.

Pros

• Grindr has 2 million active users
• Profiles are simple and quick to make
• The free version is functional as it is ad-supported

Cons

• You cannot search for matches yourself, as matches are only displayed via geolocation

#7. eHarmony – If You’re Looking for Long Term Relationship Instead of Hooking up

Overview

If you feel that casual hookup sites are not your thing or you don’t care for them, eHarmony is just where you want to be. This website is more so if you are geared towards a long-term relationship.

This is a website that’s been around for as long as we can remember. The average age of the user base is 25-34, but you can find all ages to connect with here. You will spend a good chunk of time creating your profile, but it’s only so a sophisticated algorithm can match you with other people you’d mesh well with.

You will need a premium membership to use the site’s full potential. For example, messaging people as a free member lets you only use the message feature to send site-generated icebreakers, while Standard members can only send winks and add folks to their favorites.

Profiles are of the highest quality because each user spends a good amount of time constructing them. They use percentages to determine how well each party matches with one another. For example, clicking the “compatibility” tab shows you how well your attitudes, personality, and values match up.

In terms of pricing, signup is free, but membership costs add up fast. Monthly, you will pay $60 for a 1-month plan, $24 a month for a 3-month plan, $30 a month for a 6-month plan, and $20 a month for a 12-month plan.

Pros

• The site brings you daily matches to peruse
• Great algorithm leads to great matches
• People on the site want long-term relationships

Cons

• The search function is limited- you can only look people up based on age

Staying Safe on These Platforms

Your safety is of utmost importance. Make sure you are being smart about online dating sites. Here are some of our best tips for using hookup sites and apps.

Set Your Boundaries

It’s okay to say “No,” or “I don’t feel comfortable.” With the pandemic having put a big hamper on getting out there and getting to know people, it can feel like you have to seize the opportunities that come your way.

But remember this: you are not obligated to meet up with somebody who makes you feel afraid, threatened, or uncomfortable in any way. Sure, nerves are to be expected, but if you don’t feel right on the date, it’s okay to say, “I have to leave.”

Keep Private Information to Yourself

Adult dating sites can also be a big problem in today’s society as they have scammers too, and these scammers are targeting folks of all genders, ages, and demographics. Don’t ever respond to requests for things like personal information, credit card details, or money. Report and block the user and move on.

No Alcohol/Drug Use

If you meet up with somebody on these hookup apps and who is 420-friendly and offers a smoke or who suggests getting a drink on the first date, politely decline for now. You will need to go home safely, and you need to be able to leave if things don’t work out in your favor.

When we are high or drunk, we cannot think as clearly as we could when sober, so stick with coffee, water, or sodas. Also, never leave your drink unattended or turn your back on your drink as this is how they end up spiked/roofied.

Bring Your Own Ride

Some dates from these hookup apps will offer to pick you up, but for the first one, politely decline and arrange to transport yourself. This allows you to leave immediately for the cab, the car, an Uber, or subway station if things do not work out.

Meet in Public

Meeting in a well-lit, public place like a restaurant, park, coffee shop, or attraction is always ideal when you meet someone through free dating sites. Here you can get to know your person in a place where others are nearby. For the first date, keep all activities in public until you get to know them better- then you can talk about going back to their apartment or home.

Tell A Friend

Find a friend or family member you can trust and tell them where you will be, when you will be back, and what you will be doing. For extra safety, you can use the app Find My Friends, or you can have a friend tag along in a discreet way- for example, have a friend position themself as a customer using their laptop in the coffee shop where you and your date will meet.

Do Some Research

Your friends might joke around about “Facebook Stalking,” but it’s okay to take a look at the profile of your date before meeting them up. Don’t feel bad about looking around briefly on their pages- after all, this can help you verify you’re meeting a real person and not a catfish.

Don’t Give in to Pressure

It’s okay not to want to meet up right away. Some profiles might indicate that “If you don’t want to meet, don’t bother,” and if that’s the case, it’s best to just swipe on by.

Don’t feel pressured to meet somebody until you are completely ready. The right person will be okay with your decision and give you ample time to feel comfortable before you meet.

FAQs of Online Dating

Q. You Mentioned Online Dating Scams… How Do Those Work, And How Can I Avoid Them?

In 2020, the FTC reported that there was $304 million lost to romance scammers. That number has increased in 2019.

It works when scammers create fake profiles for dating apps and websites. They then contact their targets and sweet-talk them, slowly building their trust. They chat many times a day and always respond quickly. This leads the target to feel the person they are talking to is very interested in them.

The scammer then makes up a story asking for money. They usually say something like, “I need money for a plane ticket,” or “I need money for a visa,” among other tall tales. According to the FTC, here are popular scammer stories and scenarios:

• They’re living on an oil rig
• They’re a physician working with an international organization
• They are military

They need money for:

• The payoff of gambling expenses
• Customs fees to get an item
• A plane ticket or travel costs
• Surgery or medical purposes
• Travel docs or visas

They will usually ask you for money in ways that nobody uses anymore: for example, wire transfers. Or they might ask for gift cards from places like Steam, iTunes, Google Play, or Amazon.

Now the question remains: what can you do to avoid these scams?

For starters, begin by educating yourself. Here on YouTube, you can watch an interesting documentary about romance scammers and how they operate. It is a bit long but could save you or a friend thousands of dollars. While the documentary focuses on scammers in West Africa, you should understand that scammers are worldwide.

Best Hookup Site Without Fake Profiles Youtube

The minute somebody asks you for money, a gift card, or something else, you stop communicating. Block them and report their profile.

You should never send money to somebody you’ve never met or do not know.

Q. I Really Like This Man/Woman I Am Chatting With. I’m Thinking They Might Be A Scammer- How Can I Check?

First, it’s always a good idea to review the messages you’ve already received. Many times, these scammers have a good grasp of the English language, but they may say things native speakers do not say.

If you notice words that sound out of syntax or phrases that you just don’t normally hear in your everyday dialog with others, that’s a red flag.

Second, see what a trusted friend or family member says. If they think it seems fishy, chances are it probably is.

Third, look up the photo of your match using our tip below under the query “How to spot a catfish profile.” A little research goes a long way.

Q. How Many Photos Should I Take for My Online Dating Profile?

You should use four pictures, but don’t go over 6. The more photos you post, the more overwhelming your profile is. Keep your matches interested by having four great ones posted and give them something to look forward to when you eventually meet.

Q. What Should I Wear for Maximum Impact in My Online Dating Profile Pictures?

Have your clothing match your personality, show off your fashion sense and give a nod to things you like to do. In other words, wear clean clothes that look good, fit well and display what you like.

Hiking enthusiasts might take a picture of themselves dressed in all their gear, while a fashion lover might get their picture taken wearing their finest designer piece.

Q. I’m Not Much of a Writer; How Can I Make My Profile Interesting?

For your headline, don’t be boring- just write something that you think is funny or unique without being cliche. For dating profiles, men and women can benefit by writing a positive bio that discusses curiosities, interests, places you’ve traveled, places you’d like to travel, or hobbies you like.

Q. What Are Some Bad Profile Examples?

Profiles That Are Too Vague

For example, “I’m a friendly girl who just loves to keep active. Can’t stay sitting for too long. I love to be busy. I love hanging out with friends and family.”

This is okay but leaves readers wondering: What do you like to do? What activities do your friends do when you are together? Keep readers interested.

Profiles That Are Loaded with Negativity

“Hey ladies, I’m looking for somebody nice, not like the last girl I dated, she was CRAZY lol I don’t do crazy, also I don’t work out, so don’t come seeking a gym partner lol… must be clean and working….”

Here, we have somebody who is not wrong by stating what they’re into, but your profile should focus on the stuff you actually like and exclude information about your ex.

Q. I’m Not Getting Any Hits! What Do I Do?

It’s time to modify that profile. Many sites will notate when the profile was last modified and when the users checked out the website and when somebody modifies their profile.

Sometimes dating sites will display when a user was last on or when they updated their profile picture. If a profile indicated that somebody had been online in the past one or two days or so, you’d probably check it out. It shows they are active and looking.

But do read your profile carefully. Look for areas of improvement by reading it aloud and listening for things that don’t sound correct. Use online grammar checkers for a polished look, such as Grammarly. Read it aloud to somebody else for some feedback, just to make sure you don’t sound negative, arrogant, or off-putting.

Q. How Can You Spot A Catfish Profile?

Best Hookup Site Without Fake Profiles 2019

Catfish, or fake profiles, are everywhere on these online sites. Most of the time, it’s just scammers looking to eke money out of unsuspecting victims.

If you feel you’ve encountered a catfish, there’s an easy way to check. Right-click on the image of the person you suspect, and “copy image URL.” Then go to Google and click the camera in the search box.

Paste in the image URL and hit search. If images come up of your person en masse, chances are it’s just a random person somebody stole pics of online and is using to talk to others.

If the image search doesn’t yield any results, ask them to send you a photo of them touching their finger to their nose. That might sound juvenile and sort of dumb but think about it: Catfish can only use photos their subject has posted online. If they can send you a timely photograph of themselves touching their finger to their nose, they are more likely to be real.
