What do we consider an online hookup site?
Pretty much any site that aims to match two (or more) people who are simply looking for a casual relationship without having to commit.
*Sites that are geared towards finding long-term partners, or possibly even a spouse, are not listed here.
For our list of the best online hookup sites, we took the following criteria into consideration.
- Easy to Use and Navigate
- Multiple Potential Matches in Almost Every City
- Decent Pricing
- Above Average ratio of real/fake female profiles
- Large Database of Active Users
- Fast Hookups
#1 — AdultFriendFinder —
The fact that AdultFriendFinder, or AFF for short, has been around for what seems like forever, makes it one of the most reliable sources for anyone looking for casual hookups with no strings attached. AFF is ranked as one of the 500 most visited websites by Alexa. It gets over 2 million unique visitors daily.
You’ll find mixed reviews online ranging from “terrible experience”, to “this is a godsend”. One thing’s for sure, your odds of hooking up here are as good, or better than any other adult dating site simply because of the fact that they have managed to stick around for as long as they have, since 1996 to be exact, and have amassed an enormous member base.
AdultFriendFinder is a superb option for swingers looking for other swingers, swingers looking for a 3rd, single men or women that are looking to join swinging couples, Hotwives and Cuckolds.
#2 — Ashley Madison —
Anyone who’s over thirty-five will make good use of Ashley Madison. Not a right fit for anyone younger and we don’t recommend it for “milf chasers” either. Ashley Madison boasts more than 51 million users. Of course, not all of them are active, nor are they real, but there is a sizeable, real, and active male and female database in the over 35 group. They bill themselves as a “Cheater’s Website”, but after an in-depth look, we found that single men and women make up a large portion of the userbase as well.
Connections are easier to make here than on most other hookup sites, and the majority of the members are interested, even eager, to actually meet up in person.
Other than the “big hack”, Ashley Madison has received multiple good reviews from actual users. Security is no longer an issue since the hack and you can rest assured, they’re taking every preventative measure to keep you, and your information safe and secure.
#3 — InstantHookups —
InstantHookups is a great place to start if you’re not very experienced with the online hookup scene.
This site’s main concern is hooking people up in a timely manner and despite having received mixed reviews, there are a lot of people that swear by it to quench their sexual thirst. InstantHookups creeps into our list of the best hookup sites simply because of how fast one can actually hook up. It is quickly becoming one of the most used hookup sites in 2020 after heavily marketing to women.
The male to female ratios have improved vastly. Finding a hookup is now easier than even on InstantHookups. A definite “Must Try” for anyone seeking a real hookup NOW.
— Best Online Hookup Apps —
#4 — Grindr —
Deerfield Best Place Hook Update
“The World’s largest gay social network app” is just that. We’ve tested numerous gay hookup apps and sites, none compared to the experience Grindr offers its members. If you’re looking for an app that makes it easy to hook up with other gay men for a quick fling, Grindr is your friend. However, despite its popularity, it’s a terrible choice for anyone seeking a long-term, meaningful relationship. The majority of Grindr’s users are either involved men looking for something discreet, travelers looking for a good time, or simply the bottom of the barrel in terms of dateable men. Still, definitely worth a spin.
#5 — Tinder —
We’ve made it clear that we’re not the biggest fans of Tinder for many reasons. However, a list of the best hookup sites and apps would just feel incomplete without it. We hate the whole “Swipe” concept and find the community to be in a league of their own when it comes to being shallow and superficial. It’s a sickening experience for many but still the most popular app out there (says a lot about society).
Nevertheless, Tinder is still one of the best hookup apps out there for anyone looking for a quick hookup with someone nearby. Its GPS technology, although creepy, is helpful in finding people based on proximity. Physical appearance is pretty much the only thing that motivates someone to Swipe Right. If you’re a 10, or even a 9, Tinder might keep you busy for the next 52 Saturday nights.
Many factors will contribute to whether or not you are able to find success using a particular hookup site. Ranging from location, age, gender, appearance, intelligence, personality, and tastes. A large percentage of our testers were able to actually score dates in a short time-frame, within hours of signing up in some cases. Others, unfortunately, were less successful. There are literally thousands of online hookup sites trying to be the next big thing, these five simply performed much better than all of the ones we’ve tested. We’ll keep this list updated regularly and will continue to hunt down the very best hookup sites for casual encounters.
In this on-demand, technology-obsessed era, no-strings-attached sex seems easier to come by than ever. As you can probably imagine — or may know from personal experience — location is everything. Theoretically, you can hook up with a soon-to-be one-night stand anywhere, but according to Saucy Dates, a casual dating site, some locations are more popular than others, as far as the meeting location is concerned. In a recent survey of over 10,000 of their members, the found the best places to find a one-night stand.
'I think people like the idea of a one-night stand, as you can be more experimental and adventurous,' David Minns, Founder of Saucy Dates, tells Bustle. 'Additionally, many responders commented that they liked the excitement of someone new. If it doesn't work out, then nothing is lost — if it does, you have some experiences you can carry forward to a future relationship.'
Rachel Needle, Psy.D., licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist in West Palm Beach, FL, says there are definitely benefits of a one-night stand. 'It can be liberating and stress-free to have sex with someone with no expectations for where the relationship is going or what the emotional impact having sex will have on you or your partner,' she tells Bustle. 'Additionally, there are no expectations as far as performance goes, and this allows us to be more sexually free and take the pressure off that we often put on ourselves during sex. Also, one-night stands can serve as a great ego boost. It feels good to be able to have someone want to have sex with you solely based on your looks, charm, and the skills you have that night.'
But it's also important to be safe when it comes to casual sex, whether you're having sex with someone just once or hooking up with a friend with benefits. 'It is important that both parties are not drunk and are, therefore, able to consent and communicate about the hookup,' Dr. Needle says. 'In addition, remember to protect yourself as much as possible from STIs (sexually transmitted infections) by using protection in every step of the 'hookup.'
So without further ado, here are the top 10 venues to find a one-night stand, according to Saucy Dates' findings.
Fifteen percent of respondents reported meeting their one-night stands on the street. Who knew?! This will definitely make you think twice the next time you take a walk, right?
Yep, the good-old standard, a bar, made second place with 14 percent of respondents. It tied with 'a party' for where to meet a one-night stand. I guess the two are similar: You're out with friends (or not), you're drinking (or not), and there are plenty of eligible men and women in your vicinity.
If you find yourself at a hotel — perhaps for a casual drink or perhaps as part of a business trip — casual sex may be in the picture, too. Eleven percent of respondents said hotels were a good place to find a one-night stand. Now you know!
Nine percent of those surveyed said nightclubs are good places to pick people up for a night of sex. When you think about it, it makes sense, since you may already be in close contact with strangers while dancing with them.
Have you ever gone to a wedding alone? If so, were you seated at the singles' table? Eight percent of Saucy Dates respondents said weddings are great venues to find a one-night stand. After all, romance is in the air (as well as an open bar!).
Need proof? A friend of mine had a one-night stand at a wedding, and he and the woman ended up dating for three years. So not all one-night stands end at one night!
Next time you're on the train or bus, look around: Your next one-night stand could be sitting right behind you. Seven percent of those surveyed said public transportation makes for a good place to find a one-night stand. Maybe the thought of this will make your morning commute more enjoyable.
You may know people who go to the gym not to work out, but to pick people up. Well, they're not alone. Saucy Dates found that five percent of people use the gym, as well as museums, for more than the free weights or art exhibits.
Neighbors make for an easy way to meet new people, including one-night stands. Four percent of respondents said so, and it's not surprising. Plus, you already have mutual friends, which means you may trust that your soon-to-be one-night stand is a legit person you have a built-in level of comfort with versus a total stranger.
The next time you're shopping, you may be shopping for more than food or clothes. You may be asking someone's advice about fruit or a sale item one minute, and then find yourself at their apartment the next. Three percent of people said they found one-night stands this way. Who knew talking about tomatoes (or some other seemingly benign thing) could lead to so much more?

Concerts and online dating (dating apps and sites) came in 10th place as venues to find a one-night stand, with two percent of respondents choosing them. Is anyone else in shock about dating apps and sites coming in 10th place? Wow.

Overall, did any of the locations to find a one-night stand surprise you? 'The two biggest venue shocks had to be online dating and the street,' Minns says of the findings. 'The image that dating apps and sites have generated a hookup culture doesn't seem to fit in our findings — longer-term casual relationships appear to be the norm, which can then develop further. Also, the street coming out as number one was a total surprise. But, in reflection, it seems to make perfect sense. Maybe we will see more people trying this technique.'

I'm curious, too, if more people will try to pick up more one-night stands on the street. In any case, the above definitely makes you think twice about some of the one-night stand meeting locations, that's for sure!
