DTF: 11 best Hookup Apps
1. DOWN
Down is a free hookup app for one-night stands and casual sex. To use the Down app, you first need to log in using Facebook to help them verify users ( bots can’t become members) but your personal information remains completely private. Not even other users are able to contact you unless you both like one another.
As Down doesn’t match you until you’ve both liked one another, the app ensures that no one will know you are interested unless they’re also interested in you. You can choose whether you want to get down with someone, or date someone. It makes it easy enough to figure out what someone wants from you before you even meet up.
Down dating app has been around for many, many years and been written up about in several major magazines, plus it has over 5M members, so you know it’s not a scam. The downside is that compared to Tinder, there will be a lot fewer people using it.
Available on App Store and Android
2. Hud
Hud is an unapologetic casual dating and hook up app with nearly 7 million users and 15k downloads per day.

4. AdultFriendFinder
AdultFriendFinder is a no strings attached app for hookups. Started in 1996, Adult Friend Finder was the first of its kind and pioneered the current casual dating scene. When you sign-up for Adult Friend Finder, it’s almost impossible to walk about without getting laid.
Adult Friend Finder design and the interface is very explicit visually because it is designed to set the mood of the users just right. However, their boldness and explicitness have resulted in their mobile app not being approved on the Apple store and Play-store. However, their site is completely accessible and mobile-friendly which means you won’t be missing on anything.
To get the full advantage, you’ve to pay for their premium membership. After all, all good things come with some price. In premium membership, you get to message girls, video chat with them, join sensual live webcams and participate in giveaways.
If you’re not willing to get premium membership, then chances of you hooking-up are pretty slim. You can read the review by clicking here.

5. Tinder
Tinder is the most popular dating app for hookups and finding a fuck buddy. With over 50M users and 26M matches a day (in 2018), it has the kind of potential most other apps don’t. Tinder is usually the first dating app people turn to when looking for no-strings-attached sex for that very reason: everyone is using it.
The downside is that it’s not strictly for one thing or another. On Tinder, anything goes. You’ll find people looking for marriage, or a date for the night. Of course, it’s quite easy to vet people simply by asking what they are looking for, but there’s no saying they’ll be 100% honest.
As Tinder is the original casual dating app, you should definitively try it out. Just make sure to put a variety of different profile pics on there, as well as a good Tinder bio, as the competition is stiff. It is best when you first start using it as your profile will be pushed out to hundreds, if not thousands, of users.

6. Happn
Happn is a dating app that connects you with the people you crossed paths with and seize the opportunity. If you always wished there was a way to start talking with that really cute guy/gal you see every day on the bus, or at the gym, but don’t want to invade their space then you should try Happn.
If you like a member you cross paths with, you can heart their profile. They won’t know you’ve hearted it unless they heart you too. That means there won’t be that awkward moment. It has 50M members (about 6.5M monthly active users). That’s ten times the amount of Down.
You may come across 100s people on one single train journey in a city with millions as it will match you with people in your immediate proximity, not necessarily people you saw face to face as it can’t determine that.
It makes it a bit hard to go through all potential matches you come across in a bigger city to decide whom to heart. You also have to turn the app on and off so it doesn’t track you at all hours. Unless, of course, you want to be tracked at all hours.
Available on App Store and Android
7. KinkD
KinkD is a dating app like Tinder but a lot more casual. This is a free dating app for hookups, in whatever format. As mentioned, on Tinder anything goes. On Casualx people are looking for no strings attached relationships (NSA) or friends with benefits (FWB).
Couples who want to do some swinging can also be found here, as can married people looking for affairs. Anything goes, so long as it’s consensual and legal. What’s great about KinkD is that it’s legit.
It’s not some random app filled with scammers — their team actively works to prevent it from happening. Of course, as with any app, you can’t be 100% assured you’ll never run into anyone with dodgy intentions, but at least they try to find the scammers in their midst. In fact, they approve all profiles manually!
KinkD goes as far as to allow you to create a secret album with intimate pictures that you can show your matches.

8. Pure
Pure is the top hookup app just for one-night stands. You aren’t even supposed to be looking for relationships on here. They also happen to take anonymity very seriously — they erase your profile within a couple of hours of you creating it. Yes, really. Why?
Because this app is for instant hookups. You’re meant to logon, put up a pic and make your pick (sorry I appear to be stuck in a pun state of mind). Basically, you are meant to upload a picture of yourself and use the next hour to find your date. After that everything gets erased.
This means it’s easier to start the conversations with, or simply meet up and fun. As with any dating app, you’re better safe than sorry: it’s good to meet in public first, but the intention with Pure is that you are going home with someone.
The anonymity side comes with a big perk. The messages get erased after an hour and due to anonymity, there is no connection to other social media networks. Also, it’s possible to turn off the chat destruction timer.
Available on App Store and Android
9. Whiplr
Whiplr is a free hookup app if you’re looking for people with similar fetishes. With over 2M members, you’re bound to find someone into the same things you are! Members, or “kinksters,” can search for others based on gender, distance, fetishes, etc. so it’s easy enough to find the right person who is also DTF.
Apart from your profile pics, you can upload sexy photos of yourself and choose who sees them. You can also delete photos you’ve sent via messages, but of course, people can do screengrabs, so don’t feel too safe sending naked pics to strangers.
One great thing with Whiplr is that it offers icebreakers — lines you can use if you’re unsure of what to say to someone. We all know what it feels like coming up with the perfect conversation starter when we have a temporary brain freeze because the person we’re staring at on the screen is just too hot.
It can make the best of us tongue-tied. I write dating advice for a living and I’ve had moments when I’ve lost my marbles and forgotten every conversation starter I’ve ever come across. And let’s just say I’ve come across a few.
10. Feeld
Looking for something like threesome? There’s a dating app for finding that. No more fumbling in the dark when trying to figure out if some of your friends might be up for it. Feeld is also an app for people who are looking for threesome — you can be straight or gay, but whatever you are, you need to be open-minded.
Feeld lets you choose whether you’re two people looking for another one to join, or if you’re single looking for two other singles, or a couple. It makes it easy to find your perfect threesome!
Sometimes, looking at the apps today, you wonder what they’d have thought back in the seventies, or eighties if there was “an app for that.” Not to mention what people back in the 1700s would have said:
“So, Mr. Darcy, how do you fancy a little romp with the chambermaid and Lady Austen?”
The ton would, most likely, have fainted had they known where society was heading. Back then you couldn’t even spend time alone with anyone of the opposite gender, these days you can use an app to find a threesome. Feeld guarantees you interact with real humans. In other words: they’ve banned the bots. They also allow you to hide from Facebook friends.
Available on App Store and Android
11. Grindr
Grindr is one of the most popular gay hookup sites. Created exclusively for the LGBT community, it’s one of the best within its niche. Grindr is all about finding people nearby — you can see exactly how far away people are, meaning you can go to a club and locate users in that club.
While Pure is all about finding someone fast as your profile will be erased, Grindr lets you customize your settings so that you find exactly what you’re looking for. While Grindr can be used for finding love, it’s really an app for hookups.
Many people don’t even show their faces on there — they are looking for conversations that get dirty fast. If you take offense to dirty talk, this is likely not the app for you. It’s also helpful if you don’t want to roam the clubs and bars looking for your next hookup.
Even if you love the bar scene it’s nice to know that you don’t have to put all your hopes into one night of the week. It makes things a tad more relaxed, whether you’re looking for love or no-strings action.

Inside Scoop: How To Get Over Someone You Hooked Up With?
Very nice list of hookup apps, but there are some more efficient & convenient apps such as Yumi, Lucky, Hud. The whiplr and grindr are the bdsm & gay niche dating app, not general hookup apps.
Maplefling.com is 100% fake profiles. Not ONE real one. You get hundreds of messages, and they’re all fakes.

Tinder is now quite not the same for me here in NewYork. AshleyMadison seems to be be the best here but I will test 2-3 apps more cause why not.
