Hookup culture: Also known as the thing that has basically replaced real dating over the past 20 years or so, and the thing that your parents and grandparents bitch about because 'nobody has a real conversation anymore.'
We all know that's not true, however, and online dating has made a massive impact on more people meeting and talking than every before. And when we think dating sites, we usually think about sites like eharmony and Zoosk and other marriage-minded options. But not every single person is trying to participate in the next cuffing season.
Sometimes, you just wanna get laid.
Everyone gets stuck in a sexual rut at some point, and 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? Just ignore the fact that you're human?
It might be time to let a hookup site or app take the wheel. Sites like AdultFriendFinder and iHookup 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. (Is sexting more your thing? Try these.)
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:
Massive user base • LGBTQ friendly • Tons of features for max satisfaction • Chemistry questionnaires are actually decent
Outdated and unattractive layout • Entire site looks like a virus-ridden porn ad • Best features get pricey
If you can get past the fact that it looks like an ad for a deserted strip club, you'll get the satisfaction you were looking for and more.
AdultFriendFinder
Live videos, group chats, and more monthly visitors than eharmony makes AFF great for finding a fling.- Free version: Yes
- One month of GOLD: $30/month
- Three months of GOLD: $20/month
- One year of GOLD: $15/month
AdultFriendFinder is our pick for the best hookup site, and that's because it's literally impossible to walk away unsatisfied. It's like a Pornhub that you can actually interact with. Regardless of whether you're looking for an in-person hookup or to blow off some steam via sexting or raunchy videos, AFF has everything that your dirty mind can think of and more. Almost nothing is blurred out (no, really, there are lots of unsolicited dick pics), v=but if you don't mind that the entire thing looks like a sketchy 'There are hot singles in your area' ad, you'll be in heaven. (Read our full review of AdultFriendFinder here.)
With over 25 million monthly users (that's more than eharmony) as well as live video options, chat rooms, groups for ultra specific kinks, and more, you can probably assume how wild this site can get. But there's such a large and diverse group of potential matches, you're very likely to find someone who's on the same page as you. The part that you wouldn't expect is the fact that they do offer tons of compatibility questions and matchmaking services, because they're that intent on finding you a good lay.
Another bonus is that AdultFriendFinder is like the dating site version of New York City (AKA it never sleeps). You'll find people who work the regular 9-5, people who work the night shift, and people in other time zones, so it's nearly impossible to log on and not have people to talk to. AdultFriendFinder is like the booty call that's always awake when you text them.

Tons of options • Quick with no BS • Great for finding hookups while traveling
Way too much swiping • Not 100% hookup oriented
Millions of potential dates makes Tinder especially clutch for traveling — just make sure you're clear about your intentions.
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.- Free version: Yes
- One month of Tinder Plus: $14.99/month
- Six months of Tinder Plus: $10/month
- One year of Tinder Plus: $6.67/month
Maybe you've heard of this dating app already — in fact, we'd bet money that you've downloaded it at least once in your life. Tinder, otherwise known as the app everyone and their mother downloads after a breakup, sees 1.6 billion swipes per day and is available in 196 countries. 'Tindering' has become just as much of a verb as 'swiping' at this point, so you know it had to make this list.
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 way easier to find a date for the night than it is to find someone looking for a long term relationship. Using Tinder for the latter just wouldn't be smart — you're quite literally deciding if you want to interact with someone based on nothing but profile pictures and a quote from The Office, so yeah, you can see how getting laid would be the main goal of most users. It's fast, easy, and if there's one app that even the shyest, most skeptical people will be on, it's Tinder. Hell, even celebrities can now have verified profiles on there — meaning yes, you could match with one of the if you're really lucky. Sure, you may get carpal tunnel from swiping so much, but I guess that also means that it's nearly impossible to not find someone who's DTF.
Though it's pretty much free for general use, Tinder does offer two upgrades: Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold. These like the opportunity to undo a left swipe (bless), send 'Super Likes' to people you're really into, and in the case of Tinder Gold, see which users have liked your profile. Sign up here.

Unique, career-oriented user base • Ultra specific filters • Low chance of being catfished
Extremely pricey • Restricted to a few matches per day • Matches take forever
EliteSingles weeds out the non-professionals for a more mature sexual experience.
EliteSingles
A space for ambitious people to connect with like-minded singles who don't have time to sit down and swipe.- Free version: Yes
- Three months of paid: $62.95/month
- Six months of paid: $44.95/month
- One year of paid: $31.95/month
Are you a picky person looking for something super specific in a partner? Good, you've come to the right place. A word to the wise though: this is not the place for the younger millennials. EliteSingles loves to brag that 82% of their members are college grads, and with most of its members at 33-50 years old, we can pretty surely say that the main target is mature, working professionals rather than the Tinder-using generation. Sorry college kids.
Rather than being thrown into an endless pool of profiles, EliteSingles lets you pick out exactly what you're looking for. You'll be given a limited number of matches curated for you using 29 extremely detailed, professional-level algorithms based on the popular Five Factor Personality Test. They'll even show you your own results in comparison to those of potential matches to see how you stack up. Like eharmony, the stuff to fill out is pretty lengthy, which can be a bit annoying if all you're looking for is a hookup. But sometimes hookups can turn into relationships — hey, it happens! — so at least it'll be nice to know that you're shacking up with someone who shares your interests.
Another unique thing is that there are separate pools based on location, religion, ethnicity, age, and sexual orientation. You can even break it down by profession if — for example, if you are or were a teacher, you might only want to date someone who was also a teacher. All profiles are also verified manually with an upscale Fraud Detection System.
As you could have expected from the fancy-sounding name, EliteSingles is the most expensive of the bunch (but we say worth it).

Tons of options • Mature and experienced users • Endless search possibilities
Relationship oriented site • Pricey • Hookups won't be instantaneous
If your age makes you feel like a certified creep on Tinder, Match is a more mature place to find an experienced booty call.
Match
If your age makes you feel like a certified creep on Tinder, Match is a more mature place to find an experienced booty call.- Free version: Yes
- Three months of paid: $23.99/month
- Six months of paid: $20.99/month
- One year of paid: $19.99/month
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 raunchiest place, but it also has a massive user base (7.4 million paid users, to be exact) so 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 risqué. (Like we said earlier — anything can be a hookup app if you want it to be, right?)
One main difference between Match and most of the other sites we've listed (other than AdultFriendFinder maybe) 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 significantly more older, more mature (and probably more experienced in bed) users. If you're at an age where you feel nothing but creepy on Tinder, Match is a perfect alternative. You'll obviously have to fill out some survey questions about your likes and dislikes, so this isn't the place for impatient people. However, it would be a good idea to let the public know exactly the type of relationship you're looking for in your bio, just to make sure it doesn't get awkward if someone wants a second date. Don't worry, it's less serious than eharmony and gives you much more freedom to clown around — we'd just suggest that you at least be open to the idea of a serious relationship after a hookup if you're gonna be on Match. You have to test drive the car before you buy it, right? (Douchey, but true.)
Match is also clutch because you're pretty much in control: You'll get a certain number of matches that they think you'll like per day, but you also have free rein over the search bar and can see who's nearby. This means you're able to feel out the selection and see if there are any certified hotties in your area, rather than waiting for them to give you choices or going one by one (like on Tinder). They might not have as much in common with you as your suggested matches would, but hey, does that really matter when it comes to a one night stand?

100% no strings attached • Fast AF • Hookup app minus the porn ads • Basically anonymous
Possible catfish risk • Requires credit card info
The least obnoxious (and most hipster) hookup app out there that guarantees quick, no-strings-attached booty calls.
PURE
It's like Snapchat for sex, where hookups are spontaneous and impersonal.- Free version: Yes
When we think PURE, we think purely physical. If you're tired of getting signals crossed or dread being asked 'What are we?' by a friend with benefits, PURE is the place to find a booty call who won't try to text you earlier than midnight. App rules urge you to 'pretend like you're strangers afterwards,' making no-strings-attached the only name of the game here. This minimalistic and hella millennial app is fast, no nonsense, and the blueprint of what a hookup app should be. (They quite literally call refer to themselves as 'The Hookup App,' so.)
Small talk and all that mushy shit? Ain't nobody got time for that. No, seriously — your uploaded selfies, personal info, and conversations with others self destruct every 60 minutes, promoting spur-of-the-moment and borderline anonymous hookups. The app will ask for your phone number, but that's just to make sure you're a real person. (As the hipster comics on their website state, 'Don't talk about your problems. Problems are for therapists. Pure is for fun.') The app uses your geolocation and sends out the sex version of an Uber request, so you won't have to worry about finding out your match actually lives across the country. There's a seriously fun 'less talking, more touching' vibe that ramps up the fast-paced atmosphere, taking things to a whole new level.
PURE gives all the feels of a hookup-only site without the obnoxious naked parts everywhere, AKA you won't have to be scared for someone to glance at your phone or computer screen as you would with AdultFriendFinder. AskMen mentions that it 'seriously challenges the status quo,' and we agree — the surge of blatant sex positivity is a breath of fresh air when compared to other dating apps that try to convince you that you'll find your soulmate. There's no fancy algorithm, no crappy bio jokes, and best of all: no waiting. It will ask for your credit card info, but we promise it's all free. Sign up here.

Not solely based on physical attraction • Can request and confirm dates • Low pressure atmosphere
Need to pay for best features • Time consuming • Not 100% hookup oriented
Clover gets a bit more personal than others — come here to find a hookup who you actually don't hate as a person.
Clover
Clover wants to do more than give you an anonymous hot single to bang — and why not actually be friends with your friend with benefits?- Free version: Yes
- One month of Premium: $39.99/month
- Three months of Premium: $99.99/month
- Twelve months of Premium : $149.99/month
OK, but what about the other type of hookup? You know, the one where you know more about your booty call than just their name? Clover is a fun, millennial-driven app that pairs physical attraction with shared interests. It's totally still fast-paced enough to give you a spontaneous hookup. Not all hookup apps have to be anonymous or borderline porn. Even if it's just a one-night or not-earlier-than-midnight-thing, I know a ton of people who would prefer to ensure that their booty call isn't a raging psychopath. Yes, you can actually be friends with your friends with benefits hookup partner.
Aside from the usual physical appearance, location, and sexual preference questions, Clover also gives you the option of answering 20 profile questions in a similar manner to OkCupid. (If you're impatient, just stick with Tinder or PURE.) There is an option to check that you're only looking to hook up, so you can at least ensure that you won't be giving the wrong idea. While you can swipe to match, you can also request to go on a date (and even suggest a place and time), or create mixer events for multiple users to meet up. (AskMen's Clover reviewer saw a mixer titled 'Lol why am I using this app,' and we love that.) Note: There is a free version of Clover, but the premium memberships allows for unlimited chatting, plus you'll be able to unlock all photo, video, and badge features. Paying for an app is annoying, but Clover's impressive 4.5 star review and nearly 20,000 ratings on the App Store tells us people think it's worth it).
Our main point? Sometimes it's nice to not be strangers with the person you're having sex with. A lot of hookups usually end in being kicked out of bed at 3 a.m. or leaving before the other person wakes up — but what if you're both lonely and just really like brunch foods? It's nice to know you can hold some sort of conversation and use them for their company as well as their private parts. You can easily get laid and find a a no-strings-attached situation, just with a friendlier dynamic. Does that take the passion and mystery and spontaneity of a random hookup away? Hell no. Plus, if you're also open to a relationship if you meet the right person, Clover is a great happy medium. Sign up here.

Lesbians galore • Focused on LGBTQI+ community involvement • No men pretending to be women
Not 100% hookup oriented • Up and coming user base
A by women, for women app to help you get involved and meet nearby queer women you never knew existed.
HER
Ideal for queer women who are tired of heteronormative dating sites and finding the same three lesbians on Tinder.- Free version: Yes
- One month of Premium: $14.99/month
- Six months of Premium: $59.99/month
- One year of Premium: $89.99/month
Apps like and are technically for all sexual orientations — so why are they still giving you male matches when you've specified you only want women? Swiping through all of that is way too much work, and it shouldn't have to be like that. LESBIANS EXIST. Claiming to the be the app that 'introduces you to every lesbian you've ever wanted to meet,' HER is the award-winning mix of dating and social media that lets you meet girls you know are girls, as it requires a Facebook for signup and is solely for lesbian, bisexual, and queer women. It was also created by queer women, for queer women, which is glorious.
HER claims to be the app that will 'introduce you to every lesbian you've ever wanted to meet' — so if you've been feeling like there are literally no new lesbians left where you live, you'll be pleasantly surprised to watch your hookup possibilities grow before your eyes. It's nice to have genuine options that aren't just straight girls on Tinder looking to make friends or find a threesome partner. A hookup app for lesbians that's not completely sexualized by straight men? Is this real life?
However, HER is so much more than a hookup app, and doesn't even put on the pressure to find a romantic partner. While it can be used for coupling up, it focuses much more on the LGBTQI+ community in general. Your profile is more similar to a Facebook profile, and your feed is filled with things like local LGBTQI+ events, LGBTQI+ news in the media, new lesbian films or TV shows that mainstream Twitter will probably ignore, and tons more — all posted by women who you can talk to if something sparks you interest. See our other picks for the best dating sites for lesbians here and sign up for HER for free here.

Safe(r) for work • Flirty users from tons of countries
Ads interfere with user experience • Pricey for the quality • Small and spread out user base
You're more likely to find a sexting partner across the ocean than a nearby hookup, but that's fine if you don't feel like leaving the house.
iHookup
Find singles to chat with online and get off without leaving the house.- Free membership: Yes
- Silver membership: Starts at $29.99/month
- Gold membership: Starts at $34.99/month
The site is literally called iHookup and it's used for exactly what it sounds like — need we say anything else? It's slightly less risqué than its main competitor AdultFriendFinder, but still clearly used for the same thing.
One of the main differences between iHookup and the numerous other sites used for hookups is that your feed won't make you feel like you've been violated. Members actually post pictures of their faces (instead of their nether regions) and put effort into their profiles. It's a really nice change of pace for people who are in the mood, but not so in the mood that they need porn shoved in their face. (It's still X-rated though, don't you worry — you'll realize that when you're bombarded by gross ads.)
On the downside, the website is more of a Facebook for horny people than an all-encompassing hookup site. There aren't nearly as many ways to get involved with other horny members, and that might just be because the user base simply isn't as big. (However, give it a year or two and we wouldn't be surprised if it competed with the ranks of eharmony.) iHookup also offers many 'What are you like?' and 'What are you looking for?' questions that can be displayed on your profile, and they even give you a 'between the sheets' sex compatibility ranking for each user you come across. (Read our full review of iHookup here.)
To see everything the site has to offer, you will have to fork over some coin: A year-long gold membership is only $9.99/month, but one month is $34.99. It seems kind of pricey for a site that hasn't yet made it's mark on the world, but they guarantee that if you don't get a hookup in your first three months, they'll give you three months for free.
Because the member base isn't as robust and is more spread out geographically, you might want to be a little more lenient with your mile radius when it comes to the matches they suggest. You'll probably be able to find a nearby hookup, but iHookup is a way better place for someone looking for a cute sexting partner from another country. Which is totally fine — sometimes you just don't feel like leaving the house. Check out our full review of iHookup here and sign up here.

Totally dedicated to swingers • iPhone and Android app • Millions of active profiles
Pricey • Layout is outdated and kinda crappy
99 Flavors cuts the small talk and makes it easy for couples to find new playmates.
99 Flavors
This swingers site lets couples add more *flavor* to the bedroom by signing up and hunting for matches together.- One month of Gold: $40/month
- Three months of Gold: $27/month
- One year of Gold: $20/month
Couples spicing things up with the help of another couple is way more common than people think, despite what Tinder may lead you to believe. When you advertise as a swinger on such a mainstream app, most of the bites you'll get are people looking for a threesome or people who don't quite understand the 'partner swapping' concept.
If you're tired of explaining the setup you want, it's time to make the switch to a site devoted to swinging. Opt for 99 Flavors, where everyone knows what's up and isn't afraid to make the first move.
Signing up as a couple has its benefits: The other users instantly know who's involved and if it's something they're interested in, both of you can search for partners, and both of you can participate in video chats and sexting. 99 Flavor's thing is that it's always couples talking to couples — so there don't have to be any 'Oh yeah, my girlfriend is also here,' type conversations that are almost inevitable on singles' apps.
Sign-up is quick, with simple questions like sexual orientation. But be warned: Once you confirm your email address and choose a subscription plan, you will see genitals everywhere. It's your average ad-ridden splatter of nether region close-ups and X-rated self-timer photos — but hey, some people want that. Let's just hope you like it enough to pay $20 a month for it.
Member profiles can be extremely detailed and there are about 93 million active profiles, so finding a match that's down for whatever won't take long — no matter what time it is. You can use the instant message function, exchange photos and videos, video chat, or save the dirty stuff for a meet-up IRL.

Find hookups or make friends in the community • Dedicated to BDSM, fetish, and kink
Messy and hard to navigate • High potential for fake profiles
Despite a lack of organization, ALT lets you indulge in your wildest fetishes with people who are on the same page.
ALT
Bond over bondage on this BDSM site: What it lacks in organization it more than makes up for in communication features.- Free version: Yes
- One month of Silver: $19.95/month
- Three months of Silver: $11.99/month
- One year of Silver: $8.95/month
- One month of Gold: $29.95/month
- Three months of Gold: $19.95/month
- One year of Gold: $13.43/month
At some point, even iHookups and AdultFriendFinder can start to feel bland. Sure, there may be thousands of hot singles in your area — but no one ever said they'd be interested in anything more than five minutes in the missionary position. If Rihanna iconic line about chains and whips speaks to you, then you may consider taking a ride on ALT.
A self-proclaimed 'BDSM, fetish, and kink site,' ALT is one of the rare sites that's dedicated to bondage, erotic role play, and a whole lotta leather. Quick sign-up questions about gender, sexual orientation, and whether you're dominant or submissive come first, but the actual questionnaire is pretty lengthy for a site that's only fostering quick connections. However, those with very specific predilections will appreciate this attention to detail.
What's so nice about ALT is that it gives you the chance to find a quick hookup or just meet new people who are into the same stuff you are — without having to worry that you'll be judged. With the ability to interact in private chat networks or create your own blog (aside from the expected live video broadcasts and fetish videos), you're guaranteed to at least come away with some advice or a list of new handcuffs to try.
It's true that most people care more about the hookups they get out of a site than the site's aesthetic itself — but it turns into a problem when the site's design is so messy that it becomes difficult to navigate. ALT is a landfill of profiles, blogs, videos, and the occasional animated porn ad. It really is an impressive wealth of content, but the user-friendliness could be a turnoff for some.

Blogs are a sort of public forum for users • More personal than Grindr
Serious lack of users • Looks more like an ad than a dating site
Looking for a silver fox? Gay Friend Finder is like a less populated but more mature Grindr.
Gay Friend Finder
You won't find a hookup within the hour, but this is a solid alternative for those who feel Grindr is too impersonal.- Free version: Yes
- One month of Silver: $22.99/month
- Three months of Silver: $13.99/month

Aren't you glad to not see Grindr listed as the go-to for gay guys? Grindr's massive user base and focus on finding local hookups make it almost untouchable, but the lack of profile details and impersonal conversations get old fast. Just because you're looking for a hookup does not mean that you want to be greeted with a dick pic. Gay Friend Finder is a slightly outdated but much slower-paced alternative for gay men who want to hook up, but still like to see a profile with some personality.
In business since 1996, Gay Friend Finder is one of the OGs in connecting local gay men — whether that be singles, couples, or groups. Unlike Grindr, which has at least five matches for you at any given time of the day, Gay Friend Finder's user base is a bit of a desert. With an active user base of under 50,000 men, don't get your hopes up about an immediate hookup. However, the small circle of men who do have profiles are mature (the majority are 30 or older), and may be more likely to want an ongoing friends-with-benefits thing than a mindless booty call. It's a good thing there aren't many users to fish through, because filtering options are almost non-existent.
For a site that's lacking in numbers, community is huge on Gay Friend Finder. Relatively in-depth user profiles, a collection of original blogs, and ways to interact other than private messaging give users a chance to bond with other gay men in a way that strictly hookup-oriented sites don't bother with. But don't worry — there's still plenty of heart rate-raising material here.

Chance to dabble with teledildonics • Huge number of models and filters • Free membership available
No pre-recorded videos • Token system seems like a hassle
Reliable cams sites are rare, but Cams.com nails it with thousands of models, private shows, and more.
Cams.com
Bored of porn? Chat with real models in HD and test out Bluetooth sex toys.- 100 tokens: $12
- 250 tokens: $26
- 500 tokens: $50
- 1,000 tokens: $99
Take what you know about cams sites and erase it from memory — Cams.com is the only one you'll ever need again. From teledildonics to customization tools to nearly limitless HD video chat, this is the site to visit if you're thinking about switching from porn to live streams.
Cam sites get a pretty bad rep around these parts. Thanks to the myriad of obnoxious clips on Pornhub and sites that steal your credit card info for shitty ripoff videos, the search for a reliable cams site may seem bleak. Cams.com is looking to change what it means to be a cam girl or cam guy — AskMen's review even says that it's becoming the gold standard of cams sites. Instead of paying for a monthly membership, you have to buy tokens to do much of anything. It seems like much more of a hassle than paying for a monthly membership, but the token currency allows you to tip models, buy sex toys directly from the site, and pay for private shows.
Despite the fact that there's (obviously) a screen between you and the other person, Cams.com goes above and beyond to ensure that things still get hot and heavy. With 14,000 female, male, and trans models (with new ones added every day), spicing things up from your usual type is a go — plus, there will always be someone online and ready to rumble.
The assortment of HD live streams isn't even the best part here, and that's saying something. Cams.com cranks the tension up a notch with teledildonics: A fancy word for Bluetooth sex toys that make physical pleasure over distance possible. Order a toy through LoveSense or OhMiBod, download the app, and let the model control the vibrations almost as if you were there. It's basically a one-night stand without even leaving the house.

Cheers to having good, safe, consensual intercourse with strangers, guys. Get your condoms here, and good luck out there.
Looking for something more serious?
Hooking up is great, but perhaps it's not the *only* thing you're looking for. If you're a bit more relationship-minded, we'd suggest sites like Zoosk, eharmony, and OkCupid. Here's why.
Short and sweet sign-up • Matches based on your behavior • Massive user base
Ridden with fake or dead profiles
Appealing mainly to millennials, Zoosk offers a refreshing take on online dating that uses your on-site behavior to find you better matches.
Zoosk
- Free membership: Yes
- One month of paid : $29.95/month
- Three months of paid : $19.98/month
- Six months of paid: $12.49/month
Ever heard of 'behavioral matchmaking?' Well, you have now. Zoosk sports a flirty 'pick up and go' philosophy when it comes to online dating, so they won't make you answer a torturous string of questions about yourself. Instead, Zoosk monitors your on-site activity and attempts to give you better matches based on what you already like. Zoosk offers ease and practicality and is pretty far from the Tinders of the world.
Specifying the age range and gender that you're looking for in a partner does squat to narrow down your options. That might be fine for a strict hookup, but finding something past friends with benefits will require a little more help. Considering Zoosk sees a user base of about 40 million members, getting through all profiles that match your requirements could take ages. By monitoring your swiping behavior, Zoosk can tap into your subconscious (okay, not really, but sorta) and give you what you want deep down, even if you don't even know why you're saying yes or no to those profiles.
There is one downside we need to mention, though: The amount of fake or dead profiles makes this place seem like the dating site version of The Walking Dead. Of course, all dating sites have their fair share of duds, but Zoosk is just feeling that plague a bit more intensely (we've heard it's mostly female profiles). Luckily, you can weed these out by looking for a 'Currently online' or 'Recently online' status.
Like most sites, there is a free version, but it's worthless — AKA you're gonna need to pay to do anything. It's not wildly pricey, and as with any dating site that you need to pay for, it's kind of nice to know that other users are somewhat serious if they're spending their money on it. Zoosk also has a coin system that allows you to boost your profile and get access to other special features, which you can read about in our full review here.

Extremely modern and user friendly • LGBTQ friendly • Compatibility factors unique to OkCupid
Questionnaire can get tedious
OkCupid genuinely wants dating to be a good experience, and their multi-faceted matchmaking and modern vibe help you steer clear of feeling like a loser looking for a boo online.
OkCupid
- Free version: Yes
- One month of A-List: $9.95/month
- Three months A-List: $7.95/month
- Six months of A-List: $6.95/month
Psst, people who are over Tinder but not yet ready to join the ranks of marriage-crazed eHarmony: OkCupid is your new best friend. This hip, LGBT-friendly site has won the hearts of millennial and mature singles alike, and we'd give it the crown for being the smartest combo of spontaneous and serious. It's the place for, well, pretty much everyone who takes dating seriously, but still wants to have fun.
Here's the thing about OkCupid: Their advertising is outstanding. They deserve endless applause just for that, but I realize many people on dating apps care about more than the aesthetics. Though OkCupid's advertisements may have 'DTF' plastered all over them, the site's intentions and matchmaking process are no joke. The site takes compatibility factors into account that other sites haven't even thought of.
First things first: and its user base is pretty liberal (which can also translate into 'sex positive'). The ads with same-sex couples are an obvious giveaway, but OkCupid has . For instance, they'll ask questions about whether you're for or against the defunding of Planned Parenthood or same sex marriage, and if you feel obligated to help fellow human beings — all as a way to tell right off the bat if your potential match leans left or right. (This can help you avoid awkward date conversations in the future.) , as OkCupid released statistics showing that liberal-leaning answers to those questions made you 80% more likely to find love on the site. Other sites don't go into this type of stuff much past religion, but with politics being more of a hot topic now than ever, you can imagine how torturous it would be to end up with someone who starts an argument with you every time the news is on.
It might take some time and genuine effort to make a profile, but that's what you want if you're looking for something real. You'll fill out a questionnaire with your answers as well as what you would like your ideal match to answer. This makes the application-building process a lot more fun than other apps, making it feel like an online quiz. It asks a range of questions, from simple stuff to if you smoke and drink to more intimate things like how many dates you typically wait before sleeping with someone. Pro tip: The app says the the more questions you answer, the better your matches will be. The deeper you go, the more accurate your profile is — and in turn, OkCupid will have a way easier time finding matches for you. The downside? This question answering can get tedious AF. You can for sure find a hookup here eventually, but don't come here looking to find a good lay within a few hours.

Highest chance of compatible matches • Low chance of vulgar messages/dick pics • Proven success in stats
Priciest of the bunch • Match making takes time • Not LGBTQ friendly • Long sign-up process
If you refuse to be alone during cuffing season, eharmony is a tried and true option for those seeking something long-term — if you can get past the price.
eharmony
- Free version: Yes
- Three months of paid: $54.95/month
- Six months of paid: $36.95/month
- One year of paid: $18.95/month
But then again, some people are trying to marry the next person they date. That's cool, too — eharmony sees about five million of those people each month. In 2013, eharmony ranked first in creating marriages, and is apparently responsible for 4% of marriages in the U.S. They’re pretty confident in their matchmaking abilities, too, because they make a guarantee that if you’re not satisfied in three months, they’ll give you another three months for free. If that's not promising, I don't know what is.
After their debut in 2000 and nearly 20 years of matchmaking, you can guess that the algorithm really knows what it's doing. eharmony has an intense 29-dimension compatibility system with a lengthy quiz that focuses on your long-term success as a couple. (People just looking for a hookup probably won't put themselves through that.) There is an option for local dating, however many of eharmony’s success stories feature couples who were living states apart before they met (if you want to cry happy tears, read those). Once you’ve completed your questionnaire, eharmony will provide you with matches so you don’t have to browse profiles. For some, this may not be enough freedom, but for those who aren’t great at choosing partners or have no clue what they need, this may be a breath of fresh air.
The questions are pretty standard and are similar to what most other in-depth dating sites will ask. You'll give yourself a rating on prompts like 'I'm an honest partner,' with sliding scale responses. On paper, asking deep questions like these right off the bat makes total sense when pairing two people together — but they're so basic and annoying. As much as you'd like to lie to feel better about yourself, you know deep down that's not the way to a healthy relationship. Admitting that you're not as mature in a certain area is key to eharmony matching you with someone who complements you. SO DON'T LIE.
This all sounds pretty nice, right? You're just about on track to finding a spouse. Oh, except, we're sorry to drop this bomb on you, but eharmony does not offer up their romance services for cheap. (We understand why, but still.) Their prices fluctuate regularly, with one month coming in at around $60 — but like with most subscription websites, the longer you stay, the cheaper it gets.
