iphone four hook-up talk app

This is the definitive guide to no strings hook-up apps. You’re welcome.

Dating apps have survived the test of time, and many of us are guilty of a Sunday night swipe session when The Fear still hasn’t passed and Monday Fear kicks in. But instead of the traditional drinks-and-a-movie meet up, more and more of us are downloading apps that promise no strings lovemaking.

Interested? Take a look at the best hookup apps to find the flawless Netflix and chill fucking partner.

App 1: Blendr

Lowdown: Free for iPhone. It asks to link to your Facebook to access your location, photos, interests, plus ‘friends’ who are signed up too. It links you up to singles who are up for hook-up in your postcode but recall, the more info you put on about yourself, the more you can see about others.

Verdict: Popular with youthfull professionals (we came across a mix of 20-something chefs, builders, students, musicians and lawyers) who aren’t timid when it comes to no strings lovemaking.

App Two: Tingle

Lowdown: Its ‘radar’ system obscures where you are and you have to ‘wink’ at users before they can view your profile. A talk service means you don’t have to give out your number.

Verdict: Undoubtedly helps you on your no strings lovemaking quest, but be warned – the dudes we came across were of a lower quality than Blendr. One man’s profile picture was of a photo of his erect penis. Nice.

App Trio: Tinder

Lowdown: Albeit Tinder promotes itself as a dating app, many people use it as a hook-up device. Pictures of potential matches in your area emerge on your screen and you like what you see, swipe right. Superficial but fairly joy. If both parties swipe right, you’ll match and can begin a convo. Links to your Facebook profile.

They’ve also introduced a fresh paid tier called Tinder Plus, where you’ll be able to undo a swipe left and super like to your heart’s content. Tinder Plus has also helped make holiday-goers wishes come true by introducing a fresh features called Tinder Passport, which permits you to swipe on people anywhere in the world.

Verdict: Fellows are much more subtle here. You’re likely to be invited out for a drink rather than just round for hook-up.

App Four: Disckreet

Lowdown: A fresh app that keeps your naked photos, belfies and lovemaking movies safe and secure. You can only access the files if you AND the other person(s) involved come in passwords. The idea behind this is that only you and your playmate can see your previous bedroom antics together.

Kendall Jenner won’t be walking in the two thousand seventeen Victoria’s Secret Style Demonstrate

Verdict: Good for couples or f*** friends who want to spice things up in a safe way. It’s a solution to vengeance porn.

App Five: Sexy Vibes

Lowdown: An Android app that turns your phone into a hitachi. Yes, indeed. Can be managed remotely by your playmate, making even long distance hook-ups possible.

Verdict: Call us prudes, but we’re not keen on the thought of our phone (that goes so close to our face) being used as a hookup fucktoy.

App 6: Unspoiled

Lowdown: Good if you want to find no strings lovemaking right now. Once you’re a member, you submit a request and state whether you’re looking for a man or a woman and where you’d choose to meet. You’ll then be given some potential matches.

Verdict: Excellent for privacy. Your photo and tagline are only displayed for an hour at a time, which also means you’d better budge rapid.

App 7: Down

Lowdown: Down is an updated version of Bang With Friends. It finds your Facebook friends and friends of your Facebook friends. You can choose those you’d want to date and those you’d choose just to do the dirty with.

Verdict: For the plucky and brazen only as there is little anonymity.

App 8: 3nder (‘Thrinder’)

Lowdown: Always wished a threesome but never known where to find that special (extra) someone? Well, there’s now a dating app to help you out. 3nder works much like Tinder; log on through Facebook (there’s an option to switch your name), choose the composition of your group (Two+1, or 1+1+1) and swipe through hundreds of potential matches in your area.

Verdict: This app has the ease of tinder, and much like that, most of the joy lies in the swiping. Once you’ve matched, how things proceed is up to you.

App 9: Netflix and Chill

Lowdown: The phrase already immortalised in meme form now has its own app. It’s actually called TikiTalk, but opening up your screen, you’ll be confronted by the question that has become synonymous with ‘Fancy a shag?’

Verdict: This is a genius marketing strategy, because everyone knows what Netflix and Chill *indeed* means. However, there are other date options available here too, suggesting this app is more meet-up than hook-up.

Netflix and chill

App Ten: Mimitate

Lowdown: This app combines selfie-taking with Netflix. What more could we possibly want in 2016? Guys take a selfie and post it along with what they’re watching. If a chick likes both offerings, she fires back a selfie mimicking his, opening up a talk.

Verdict: This app eliminates unwanted advances, as you’ll never receive messages unless you display interest by way of your selfie. Plus, it’s a hilarious and ingenious idea. Who knew taking selfies while watching Netflix could lead to so much joy?

App 11: Whiplr

Lowdown: This is the app to please all your kinks and fetishes. Getting beyond the puny talk it gets down to the nitty-gritty of what you want, what you indeed, truly want.

Verdict: You don’t need Facebook to log into this one and can choose a nickname. It’s very specific gender and kink-wise, so the potential is there to find your flawless fucking partner. However, the free service is limited and total use is a costly £14.99/£7.50 a month, monthly/annually. I guess the question is, how much you value your kink?

App 12: Bumble

Lowdown: Bumble calls itself a feminist app; for any matches that happen, the woman must embark the talk within twenty four hours, or it vanishes.

Verdict: Pressure is high with that time limit – but it helps you quickly figure out whether that boy is worth the initial message.

App 13: Wingman

Lowdown: Going on holiday? Who cares what’s at the end of the plane journey, with this app the joy starts before you even land. Wingman lets you connect with others on your flight, providing you the chance for a sneaky in-flight get-together.

Verdict: We’re not sure how likely it is that there’s someone fanciable on your flight who also has this app. But if you want to commence your holiday romance before you’ve even left UK airspace, it’s most likely the best place to embark.

App 14: Her

Leave behind Grindr, Her is a hook-up app for LGBTQ women, by LGBTQ women. While it sells itself as more of a sapphic/bisexual/trans community rather than a dating platform, it’s one of the most popular apps for the audience in the entire world. Beyond meeting other like-minded individuals, you’ll also be able to find out about gay-friendly news and events going on in your area so you can take things offline.

Verdict: There aren’t enough apps out there for our LGBTQ sisters and as far as they go, this is one of the best. We love the news and events updates too.

App 15: Happn

If you want the magic of a meet-cute alongside your one night stand, Happn is a good bet. It began out in France back in 2015, but it’s quickly picked up speed around the world. The way it works is this: after you’ve finished setting up your profile, it tracks where you and other users have crossed paths – as well as how many times it’s happened (or happnd). It functions the same way as a match and you can strike up a conversation with them on the app.

Verdict: We indeed love the concept of Happn and there’s some mighty fine talent on there. Its 250m radius is awesome for big sprawling cities like London, but if you’re somewhere like Leamington Spa then the pool’s going to dry up quick.

App 16: Skout

Skout is one of the older meet up apps in the bizz, dating back to 2007. It wears a lot of hats and like most other apps, works on a location-based system with a feed utter of user profiles/status messages. If you leap over to the Meet section, you’ll be able to find out who’s interested in making an offline connection…

Verdict: Skout’s not bad, however they’ve had a pretty difficult time dealing with the more unsavoury people in their user base. Their users skew as youthfull as thirteen years old and some people have been taking advantage of that in the worst way.

And now, the serious bit. Meeting up with total strangers always has risks, and more so if the prospect of having no strings hook-up is on the cards.

How to be safe using dating apps for no strings hook-up:

• Avoid exposing your exact location, keep it vague or switch your address.
• Do a background check on Twitter and type their name into google to pull up further info on them.
• Speak on the phone before meeting to get an idea of their personality.
• Look for inconsistencies, such as where they say they live or what they do. If you think they are lounging. Make your excuses and cut contact.
• Go with your instinct and gut feeling.
• Always arrange to meet in a public place during the day.
• Have your own transportation.
• Let a friend know exactly where you are meeting and make them check in with you by text a duo of hours in to check all is ok.

Verdict: Good for privacy. Your photo and tagline are only displayed for an hour at a time, which also means you’d better budge quick.

App 7: Down

Lowdown: Down is an updated version of Bang With Friends. It finds your Facebook friends and friends of your Facebook friends. You can choose those you’d want to date and those you’d choose just to do the dirty with.

Verdict: For the plucky and brazen only as there is little anonymity.

App 8: 3nder (‘Thrinder’)

Lowdown: Always dreamed a threesome but never known where to find that special (extra) someone? Well, there’s now a dating app to help you out. 3nder works much like Tinder; log on through Facebook (there’s an option to switch your name), choose the composition of your group (Two+1, or 1+1+1) and swipe through hundreds of potential matches in your area.

Verdict: This app has the ease of tinder, and much like that, most of the joy lies in the swiping. Once you’ve matched, how things proceed is up to you.

App 9: Netflix and Chill

Lowdown: The phrase already immortalised in meme form now has its own app. It’s actually called TikiTalk, but opening up your screen, you’ll be confronted by the question that has become synonymous with ‘Fancy a shag?’

Verdict: This is a genius marketing strategy, because everyone knows what Netflix and Chill *indeed* means. However, there are other date options available here too, suggesting this app is more meet-up than hook-up.

Netflix and chill

App Ten: Mimitate

Lowdown: This app combines selfie-taking with Netflix. What more could we possibly want in 2016? Guys take a selfie and post it along with what they’re watching. If a doll likes both offerings, she fires back a selfie mimicking his, opening up a talk.

Verdict: This app eliminates unwanted advances, as you’ll never receive messages unless you display interest by way of your selfie. Plus, it’s a hilarious and ingenious idea. Who knew taking selfies while watching Netflix could lead to so much joy?

App 11: Whiplr

Lowdown: This is the app to sate all your kinks and fetishes. Getting beyond the petite talk it gets down to the nitty-gritty of what you want, what you truly, indeed want.

Verdict: You don’t need Facebook to log into this one and can choose a nickname. It’s very specific gender and kink-wise, so the potential is there to find your flawless playmate. However, the free service is limited and utter use is a costly £14.99/£7.50 a month, monthly/annually. I guess the question is, how much you value your kink?

App 12: Bumble

Lowdown: Bumble calls itself a feminist app; for any matches that happen, the woman must commence the talk within twenty four hours, or it vanishes.

Verdict: Pressure is high with that time limit – but it helps you quickly figure out whether that stud is worth the initial message.

App 13: Wingman

Lowdown: Going on holiday? Who cares what’s at the end of the plane journey, with this app the joy starts before you even land. Wingman lets you connect with others on your flight, providing you the chance for a sneaky in-flight get-together.

Verdict: We’re not sure how likely it is that there’s someone fanciable on your flight who also has this app. But if you want to embark your holiday romance before you’ve even left UK airspace, it’s most likely the best place to commence.

App 14: Her

Leave behind Grindr, Her is a hook-up app for LGBTQ women, by LGBTQ women. While it sells itself as more of a sapphic/bisexual/trans community rather than a dating platform, it’s one of the most popular apps for the audience in the entire world. Beyond meeting other like-minded individuals, you’ll also be able to find out about gay-friendly news and events going on in your area so you can take things offline.

Verdict: There aren’t enough apps out there for our LGBTQ sisters and as far as they go, this is one of the best. We love the news and events updates too.

App 15: Happn

If you want the magic of a meet-cute alongside your one night stand, Happn is a good bet. It began out in France back in 2015, but it’s quickly picked up speed around the world. The way it works is this: after you’ve finished setting up your profile, it tracks where you and other users have crossed paths – as well as how many times it’s happened (or happnd). It functions the same way as a match and you can strike up a conversation with them on the app.

Verdict: We truly love the concept of Happn and there’s some mighty fine talent on there. Its 250m radius is awesome for big sprawling cities like London, but if you’re somewhere like Leamington Spa then the pool’s going to dry up quick.

App 16: Skout

Skout is one of the older meet up apps in the bizz, dating back to 2007. It wears a lot of hats and like most other apps, works on a location-based system with a feed utter of user profiles/status messages. If you leap over to the Meet section, you’ll be able to find out who’s interested in making an offline connection…

Verdict: Skout’s not bad, however they’ve had a pretty difficult time dealing with the more unsavoury people in their user base. Their users skew as youthful as thirteen years old and some people have been taking advantage of that in the worst way.

And now, the serious bit. Meeting up with total strangers always has risks, and more so if the prospect of having no strings hookup is on the cards.

How to be safe using dating apps for no strings lovemaking:

• Avoid exposing your exact location, keep it vague or switch your address.
• Do a background check on Twitter and type their name into google to pull up further info on them.
• Speak on the phone before meeting to get an idea of their personality.
• Look for inconsistencies, such as where they say they live or what they do. If you think they are lounging. Make your excuses and cut contact.
• Go with your instinct and gut feeling.
• Always arrange to meet in a public place during the day.
• Have your own transportation.
• Let a friend know exactly where you are meeting and make them check in with you by text a duo of hours in to check all is ok.

No Strings Lovemaking: These Are The Best Apps To Download For Casual Hookup

Без кейворда

This is the definitive guide to no strings hook-up apps. You’re welcome.

Dating apps have survived the test of time, and many of us are guilty of a Sunday night swipe session when The Fear still hasn’t passed and Monday Fear kicks in. But instead of the traditional drinks-and-a-movie meet up, more and more of us are downloading apps that promise no strings hook-up.

Interested? Take a look at the best lovemaking apps to find the ideal Netflix and chill fucking partner.

App 1: Blendr

Lowdown: Free for iPhone. It asks to link to your Facebook to access your location, photos, interests, plus ‘friends’ who are signed up too. It links you up to singles who are up for hookup in your postcode but reminisce, the more info you put on about yourself, the more you can see about others.

Verdict: Popular with youthful professionals (we came across a mix of 20-something chefs, builders, students, musicians and lawyers) who aren’t bashful when it comes to no strings hookup.

App Two: Tingle

Lowdown: Its ‘radar’ system obscures where you are and you have to ‘wink’ at users before they can view your profile. A talk service means you don’t have to give out your number.

Verdict: Undoubtedly helps you on your no strings lovemaking quest, but be warned – the guys we came across were of a lower quality than Blendr. One man’s profile picture was of a photo of his erect penis. Nice.

App Trio: Tinder

Lowdown: Albeit Tinder promotes itself as a dating app, many people use it as a hook-up instrument. Pictures of potential matches in your area show up on your screen and you like what you see, swipe right. Superficial but fairly joy. If both parties swipe right, you’ll match and can begin a convo. Links to your Facebook profile.

They’ve also introduced a fresh paid tier called Tinder Plus, where you’ll be able to undo a swipe left and super like to your heart’s content. Tinder Plus has also helped make holiday-goers desires come true by introducing a fresh features called Tinder Passport, which permits you to swipe on people anywhere in the world.

Verdict: Guys are much more subtle here. You’re likely to be invited out for a drink rather than just round for hook-up.

App Four: Disckreet

Lowdown: A fresh app that keeps your naked photos, belfies and hook-up movies safe and secure. You can only access the files if you AND the other person(s) involved inject passwords. The idea behind this is that only you and your playmate can observe your previous bedroom antics together.

Verdict: Good for couples or f*** mates who want to spice things up in a safe way. It’s a solution to vengeance porn.

App Five: Sexy Vibes

Lowdown: An Android app that turns your phone into a wand. Yes, indeed. Can be managed remotely by your fucking partner, making even long distance hook-ups possible.

Verdict: Call us prudes, but we’re not keen on the thought of our phone (that goes so close to our face) being used as a lovemaking fucktoy.

App 6: Unspoiled

Lowdown: Good if you want to find no strings hookup right now. Once you’re a member, you submit a request and state whether you’re looking for a man or a woman and where you’d choose to meet. You’ll then be given some potential matches.

Leave behind Grindr, Her is a hook-up app for LGBTQ women, by LGBTQ women. While it sells itself as more of a lezzie/bisexual/trans community rather than a dating platform, it’s one of the most popular apps for the audience in the entire world. Beyond meeting other like-minded individuals, you’ll also be able to find out about gay-friendly news and events going on in your area so you can take things offline.

Verdict: There aren’t enough apps out there for our LGBTQ sisters and as far as they go, this is one of the best. We love the news and events updates too.

App 15: Happn

If you want the magic of a meet-cute alongside your one night stand, Happn is a good bet. It began out in France back in 2015, but it’s quickly picked up speed around the world. The way it works is this: after you’ve finished setting up your profile, it tracks where you and other users have crossed paths – as well as how many times it’s happened (or happnd). It functions the same way as a match and you can strike up a conversation with them on the app.

Verdict: We truly love the concept of Happn and there’s some mighty fine talent on there. Its 250m radius is awesome for big sprawling cities like London, but if you’re somewhere like Leamington Spa then the pool’s going to dry up quick.

App 16: Skout

Skout is one of the older meet up apps in the bizz, dating back to 2007. It wears a lot of hats and like most other apps, works on a location-based system with a feed utter of user profiles/status messages. If you leap over to the Meet section, you’ll be able to find out who’s interested in making an offline connection…

Verdict: Skout’s not bad, however they’ve had a pretty difficult time dealing with the more unsavoury people in their user base. Their users skew as youthfull as thirteen years old and some people have been taking advantage of that in the worst way.

And now, the serious bit. Meeting up with total strangers always has risks, and more so if the prospect of having no strings lovemaking is on the cards.

How to be safe using dating apps for no strings lovemaking:

• Avoid exposing your exact location, keep it vague or switch your address.
• Do a background check on Twitter and type their name into google to pull up further info on them.
• Speak on the phone before meeting to get an idea of their personality.
• Look for inconsistencies, such as where they say they live or what they do. If you think they are lounging. Make your excuses and cut contact.
• Go with your instinct and gut feeling.
• Always arrange to meet in a public place during the day.
• Have your own transportation.
• Let a friend know exactly where you are meeting and make them check in with you by text a duo of hours in to check all is ok.

No Strings Hookup: These Are The Best Apps To Download For Casual Hookup

Без кейворда

This is the definitive guide to no strings lovemaking apps. You’re welcome.

Dating apps have survived the test of time, and many of us are guilty of a Sunday night swipe session when The Fear still hasn’t passed and Monday Fear kicks in. But instead of the traditional drinks-and-a-movie meet up, more and more of us are downloading apps that promise no strings hook-up.

Interested? Take a look at the best hook-up apps to find the flawless Netflix and chill playmate.

App 1: Blendr

Lowdown: Free for iPhone. It asks to link to your Facebook to access your location, photos, interests, plus ‘friends’ who are signed up too. It links you up to singles who are up for hook-up in your postcode but recall, the more info you put on about yourself, the more you can see about others.

Verdict: Popular with youthfull professionals (we came across a mix of 20-something chefs, builders, students, musicians and lawyers) who aren’t bashful when it comes to no strings hook-up.

App Two: Tingle

Lowdown: Its ‘radar’ system obscures where you are and you have to ‘wink’ at users before they can view your profile. A talk service means you don’t have to give out your number.

Verdict: Certainly helps you on your no strings hookup quest, but be warned – the boys we came across were of a lower quality than Blendr. One man’s profile picture was of a photo of his erect penis. Nice.

App Trio: Tinder

Lowdown: Albeit Tinder promotes itself as a dating app, many people use it as a hook-up implement. Pictures of potential matches in your area show up on your screen and you like what you see, swipe right. Superficial but fairly joy. If both parties swipe right, you’ll match and can embark a convo. Links to your Facebook profile.

They’ve also introduced a fresh paid tier called Tinder Plus, where you’ll be able to undo a swipe left and super like to your heart’s content. Tinder Plus has also helped make holiday-goers fantasies come true by introducing a fresh features called Tinder Passport, which permits you to swipe on people anywhere in the world.

Verdict: Guys are much more subtle here. You’re likely to be invited out for a drink rather than just round for hookup.

App Four: Disckreet

Lowdown: A fresh app that keeps your naked photos, belfies and hookup movies safe and secure. You can only access the files if you AND the other person(s) involved come in passwords. The idea behind this is that only you and your fucking partner can witness your previous bedroom antics together.

Why did Princess Diana all of a sudden stop wearing her signature blue eyeliner?

Verdict: Good for couples or f*** friends who want to spice things up in a safe way. It’s a solution to vengeance porn.

App Five: Sexy Vibes

Lowdown: An Android app that turns your phone into a vibro. Yes, truly. Can be managed remotely by your playmate, making even long distance hook-ups possible.

Verdict: Call us prudes, but we’re not keen on the thought of our phone (that goes so close to our face) being used as a hookup fucktoy.

App 6: Unspoiled

Lowdown: Fine if you want to find no strings hook-up right now. Once you’re a member, you submit a request and state whether you’re looking for a man or a woman and where you’d choose to meet. You’ll then be given some potential matches.

Verdict: Good for privacy. Your photo and tagline are only displayed for an hour at a time, which also means you’d better stir prompt.

App 7: Down

Lowdown: Down is an updated version of Bang With Friends. It finds your Facebook friends and friends of your Facebook friends. You can choose those you’d want to date and those you’d choose just to do the dirty with.

Verdict: For the courageous and brazen only as there is little anonymity.

App 8: 3nder (‘Thrinder’)

Lowdown: Always wished a threesome but never known where to find that special (extra) someone? Well, there’s now a dating app to help you out. 3nder works much like Tinder; log on through Facebook (there’s an option to switch your name), choose the composition of your group (Two+1, or 1+1+1) and swipe through hundreds of potential matches in your area.

Verdict: This app has the ease of tinder, and much like that, most of the joy lies in the swiping. Once you’ve matched, how things proceed is up to you.

App 9: Netflix and Chill

Lowdown: The phrase already immortalised in meme form now has its own app. It’s actually called TikiTalk, but opening up your screen, you’ll be confronted by the question that has become synonymous with ‘Fancy a shag?’

Verdict: This is a genius marketing strategy, because everyone knows what Netflix and Chill *indeed* means. However, there are other date options available here too, suggesting this app is more meet-up than hook-up.

Netflix and chill

App Ten: Mimitate

Lowdown: This app combines selfie-taking with Netflix. What more could we possibly want in 2016? Guys take a selfie and post it along with what they’re watching. If a damsel likes both offerings, she fires back a selfie mimicking his, opening up a talk.

Verdict: This app eliminates unwanted advances, as you’ll never receive messages unless you display interest by way of your selfie. Plus, it’s a hilarious and ingenious idea. Who knew taking selfies while watching Netflix could lead to so much joy?

App 11: Whiplr

Lowdown: This is the app to please all your kinks and fetishes. Getting beyond the puny talk it gets down to the nitty-gritty of what you want, what you indeed, truly want.

Verdict: You don’t need Facebook to log into this one and can choose a nickname. It’s very specific gender and kink-wise, so the potential is there to find your flawless fucking partner. However, the free service is limited and total use is a costly £14.99/£7.50 a month, monthly/annually. I guess the question is, how much you value your kink?

App 12: Bumble

Lowdown: Bumble calls itself a feminist app; for any matches that happen, the woman must commence the talk within twenty four hours, or it vanishes.

Verdict: Pressure is high with that time limit – but it helps you quickly figure out whether that stud is worth the initial message.

App 13: Wingman

Lowdown: Going on holiday? Who cares what’s at the end of the plane journey, with this app the joy starts before you even land. Wingman lets you connect with others on your flight, providing you the chance for a sneaky in-flight get-together.

Verdict: We’re not sure how likely it is that there’s someone fanciable on your flight who also has this app. But if you want to embark your holiday romance before you’ve even left UK airspace, it’s very likely the best place to commence.

Interested? Take a look at the best lovemaking apps to find the flawless Netflix and chill playmate.

App 1: Blendr

Lowdown: Free for iPhone. It asks to link to your Facebook to access your location, photos, interests, plus ‘friends’ who are signed up too. It links you up to singles who are up for hookup in your postcode but reminisce, the more info you put on about yourself, the more you can see about others.

Verdict: Popular with youthfull professionals (we came across a mix of 20-something chefs, builders, students, musicians and lawyers) who aren’t timid when it comes to no strings hookup.

App Two: Tingle

Lowdown: Its ‘radar’ system obscures where you are and you have to ‘wink’ at users before they can view your profile. A talk service means you don’t have to give out your number.

Verdict: Undoubtedly helps you on your no strings hookup quest, but be warned – the guys we came across were of a lower quality than Blendr. One man’s profile picture was of a photo of his erect penis. Nice.

App Three: Tinder

Lowdown: Albeit Tinder promotes itself as a dating app, many people use it as a hook-up instrument. Pictures of potential matches in your area show up on your screen and you like what you see, swipe right. Superficial but fairly joy. If both parties swipe right, you’ll match and can begin a convo. Links to your Facebook profile.

They’ve also introduced a fresh paid tier called Tinder Plus, where you’ll be able to undo a swipe left and super like to your heart’s content. Tinder Plus has also helped make holiday-goers desires come true by introducing a fresh features called Tinder Passport, which permits you to swipe on people anywhere in the world.

Verdict: Studs are much more subtle here. You’re likely to be invited out for a drink rather than just round for hookup.

App Four: Disckreet

Lowdown: A fresh app that keeps your naked photos, belfies and lovemaking movies safe and secure. You can only access the files if you AND the other person(s) involved come in passwords. The idea behind this is that only you and your playmate can witness your previous bedroom antics together.

Why did Princess Diana all of a sudden stop wearing her signature blue eyeliner?

Verdict: Good for couples or f*** mates who want to spice things up in a safe way. It’s a solution to vengeance porn.

App Five: Sexy Vibes

Lowdown: An Android app that turns your phone into a electro-hitachi. Yes, indeed. Can be managed remotely by your fucking partner, making even long distance hook-ups possible.

Verdict: Call us prudes, but we’re not keen on the thought of our phone (that goes so close to our face) being used as a hookup fucktoy.

App 6: Unspoiled

Lowdown: Superb if you want to find no strings lovemaking right now. Once you’re a member, you submit a request and state whether you’re looking for a man or a woman and where you’d choose to meet. You’ll then be given some potential matches.

Verdict: Good for privacy. Your photo and tagline are only displayed for an hour at a time, which also means you’d better stir prompt.

App 7: Down

Lowdown: Down is an updated version of Bang With Friends. It finds your Facebook friends and friends of your Facebook friends. You can choose those you’d want to date and those you’d choose just to do the dirty with.

Verdict: For the plucky and brazen only as there is little anonymity.

App 8: 3nder (‘Thrinder’)

Lowdown: Always desired a threesome but never known where to find that special (extra) someone? Well, there’s now a dating app to help you out. 3nder works much like Tinder; log on through Facebook (there’s an option to switch your name), choose the composition of your group (Two+1, or 1+1+1) and swipe through hundreds of potential matches in your area.

Verdict: This app has the ease of tinder, and much like that, most of the joy lies in the swiping. Once you’ve matched, how things proceed is up to you.

App 9: Netflix and Chill

Lowdown: The phrase already immortalised in meme form now has its own app. It’s actually called TikiTalk, but opening up your screen, you’ll be confronted by the question that has become synonymous with ‘Fancy a shag?’

Verdict: This is a genius marketing strategy, because everyone knows what Netflix and Chill *indeed* means. However, there are other date options available here too, suggesting this app is more meet-up than hook-up.

Netflix and chill

App Ten: Mimitate

Lowdown: This app combines selfie-taking with Netflix. What more could we possibly want in 2016? Guys take a selfie and post it along with what they’re watching. If a doll likes both offerings, she fires back a selfie mimicking his, opening up a talk.

Verdict: This app eliminates unwanted advances, as you’ll never receive messages unless you showcase interest by way of your selfie. Plus, it’s a hilarious and ingenious idea. Who knew taking selfies while watching Netflix could lead to so much joy?

App 11: Whiplr

Lowdown: This is the app to please all your kinks and fetishes. Getting beyond the petite talk it gets down to the nitty-gritty of what you want, what you indeed, truly want.

Verdict: You don’t need Facebook to log into this one and can choose a nickname. It’s very specific gender and kink-wise, so the potential is there to find your flawless playmate. However, the free service is limited and total use is a costly £14.99/£7.50 a month, monthly/annually. I guess the question is, how much you value your kink?

App 12: Bumble

Lowdown: Bumble calls itself a feminist app; for any matches that happen, the woman must commence the talk within twenty four hours, or it vanishes.

Verdict: Pressure is high with that time limit – but it helps you quickly figure out whether that boy is worth the initial message.

App 13: Wingman

Lowdown: Going on holiday? Who cares what’s at the end of the plane journey, with this app the joy starts before you even land. Wingman lets you connect with others on your flight, providing you the chance for a sneaky in-flight get-together.

Verdict: We’re not sure how likely it is that there’s someone fanciable on your flight who also has this app. But if you want to embark your holiday romance before you’ve even left UK airspace, it’s very likely the best place to embark.

App 14: Her

Leave behind Grindr, Her is a hook-up app for LGBTQ women, by LGBTQ women. While it sells itself as more of a lezzie/bisexual/trans community rather than a dating platform, it’s one of the most popular apps for the audience in the entire world. Beyond meeting other like-minded individuals, you’ll also be able to find out about gay-friendly news and events going on in your area so you can take things offline.

Verdict: There aren’t enough apps out there for our LGBTQ sisters and as far as they go, this is one of the best. We love the news and events updates too.

App 15: Happn

If you want the magic of a meet-cute alongside your one night stand, Happn is a good bet. It began out in France back in 2015, but it’s quickly picked up speed around the world. The way it works is this: after you’ve finished setting up your profile, it tracks where you and other users have crossed paths – as well as how many times it’s happened (or happnd). It functions the same way as a match and you can strike up a conversation with them on the app.

Verdict: We truly love the concept of Happn and there’s some mighty fine talent on there. Its 250m radius is awesome for big sprawling cities like London, but if you’re somewhere like Leamington Spa then the pool’s going to dry up quick.

App 16: Skout

Skout is one of the older meet up apps in the bizz, dating back to 2007. It wears a lot of hats and like most other apps, works on a location-based system with a feed utter of user profiles/status messages. If you leap over to the Meet section, you’ll be able to find out who’s interested in making an offline connection…

Verdict: Skout’s not bad, however they’ve had a pretty difficult time dealing with the more unsavoury people in their user base. Their users skew as youthfull as thirteen years old and some people have been taking advantage of that in the worst way.

And now, the serious bit. Meeting up with total strangers always has risks, and more so if the prospect of having no strings lovemaking is on the cards.

How to be safe using dating apps for no strings hook-up:

• Avoid exposing your exact location, keep it vague or switch your address.
• Do a background check on Twitter and type their name into google to pull up further info on them.
• Speak on the phone before meeting to get an idea of their personality.
• Look for inconsistencies, such as where they say they live or what they do. If you think they are lounging. Make your excuses and cut contact.
• Go with your instinct and gut feeling.
• Always arrange to meet in a public place during the day.
• Have your own transportation.
• Let a friend know exactly where you are meeting and make them check in with you by text a duo of hours in to check all is ok.

Lowdown: Good if you want to find no strings lovemaking right now. Once you’re a member, you submit a request and state whether you’re looking for a man or a woman and where you’d choose to meet. You’ll then be given some potential matches.

Verdict: Fine for privacy. Your photo and tagline are only displayed for an hour at a time, which also means you’d better stir quick.

App 7: Down

Lowdown: Down is an updated version of Bang With Friends. It finds your Facebook friends and friends of your Facebook friends. You can choose those you’d want to date and those you’d choose just to do the dirty with.

Verdict: For the plucky and brazen only as there is little anonymity.

App 8: 3nder (‘Thrinder’)

Lowdown: Always desired a threesome but never known where to find that special (extra) someone? Well, there’s now a dating app to help you out. 3nder works much like Tinder; log on through Facebook (there’s an option to switch your name), choose the composition of your group (Two+1, or 1+1+1) and swipe through hundreds of potential matches in your area.

Verdict: This app has the ease of tinder, and much like that, most of the joy lies in the swiping. Once you’ve matched, how things proceed is up to you.

App 9: Netflix and Chill

Lowdown: The phrase already immortalised in meme form now has its own app. It’s actually called TikiTalk, but opening up your screen, you’ll be confronted by the question that has become synonymous with ‘Fancy a shag?’

Verdict: This is a genius marketing strategy, because everyone knows what Netflix and Chill *indeed* means. However, there are other date options available here too, suggesting this app is more meet-up than hook-up.

Netflix and chill

App Ten: Mimitate

Lowdown: This app combines selfie-taking with Netflix. What more could we possibly want in 2016? Guys take a selfie and post it along with what they’re watching. If a chick likes both offerings, she fires back a selfie mimicking his, opening up a talk.

Verdict: This app eliminates unwanted advances, as you’ll never receive messages unless you showcase interest by way of your selfie. Plus, it’s a hilarious and ingenious idea. Who knew taking selfies while watching Netflix could lead to so much joy?

App 11: Whiplr

Lowdown: This is the app to please all your kinks and fetishes. Getting beyond the puny talk it gets down to the nitty-gritty of what you want, what you indeed, truly want.

Verdict: You don’t need Facebook to log into this one and can choose a nickname. It’s very specific gender and kink-wise, so the potential is there to find your flawless playmate. However, the free service is limited and utter use is a costly £14.99/£7.50 a month, monthly/annually. I guess the question is, how much you value your kink?

App 12: Bumble

Lowdown: Bumble calls itself a feminist app; for any matches that happen, the woman must commence the talk within twenty four hours, or it vanishes.

Verdict: Pressure is high with that time limit – but it helps you quickly figure out whether that boy is worth the initial message.

App 13: Wingman

Lowdown: Going on holiday? Who cares what’s at the end of the plane journey, with this app the joy starts before you even land. Wingman lets you connect with others on your flight, providing you the chance for a sneaky in-flight get-together.

Verdict: We’re not sure how likely it is that there’s someone fanciable on your flight who also has this app. But if you want to commence your holiday romance before you’ve even left UK airspace, it’s most likely the best place to commence.

App 14: Her

Leave behind Grindr, Her is a hook-up app for LGBTQ women, by LGBTQ women. While it sells itself as more of a lesbo/bisexual/trans community rather than a dating platform, it’s one of the most popular apps for the audience in the entire world. Beyond meeting other like-minded individuals, you’ll also be able to find out about gay-friendly news and events going on in your area so you can take things offline.

Verdict: There aren’t enough apps out there for our LGBTQ sisters and as far as they go, this is one of the best. We love the news and events updates too.

App 15: Happn

If you want the magic of a meet-cute alongside your one night stand, Happn is a good bet. It began out in France back in 2015, but it’s quickly picked up speed around the world. The way it works is this: after you’ve finished setting up your profile, it tracks where you and other users have crossed paths – as well as how many times it’s happened (or happnd). It functions the same way as a match and you can strike up a conversation with them on the app.

Verdict: We truly love the concept of Happn and there’s some mighty fine talent on there. Its 250m radius is awesome for big sprawling cities like London, but if you’re somewhere like Leamington Spa then the pool’s going to dry up quick.

App 16: Skout

Skout is one of the older meet up apps in the bizz, dating back to 2007. It wears a lot of hats and like most other apps, works on a location-based system with a feed total of user profiles/status messages. If you hop over to the Meet section, you’ll be able to find out who’s interested in making an offline connection…

Verdict: Skout’s not bad, however they’ve had a pretty difficult time dealing with the more unsavoury people in their user base. Their users skew as youthfull as thirteen years old and some people have been taking advantage of that in the worst way.

And now, the serious bit. Meeting up with total strangers always has risks, and more so if the prospect of having no strings lovemaking is on the cards.

How to be safe using dating apps for no strings lovemaking:

• Avoid exposing your exact location, keep it vague or switch your address.
• Do a background check on Twitter and type their name into google to pull up further info on them.
• Speak on the phone before meeting to get an idea of their personality.
• Look for inconsistencies, such as where they say they live or what they do. If you think they are lounging. Make your excuses and cut contact.
• Go with your instinct and gut feeling.
• Always arrange to meet in a public place during the day.
• Have your own transportation.
• Let a friend know exactly where you are meeting and make them check in with you by text a duo of hours in to check all is ok.

No Strings Hook-up: These Are The Best Apps To Download For Casual Hook-up

Без кейворда

This is the definitive guide to no strings lovemaking apps. You’re welcome.

Dating apps have survived the test of time, and many of us are guilty of a Sunday night swipe session when The Fear still hasn’t passed and Monday Fear kicks in. But instead of the traditional drinks-and-a-movie meet up, more and more of us are downloading apps that promise no strings hook-up.

Interested? Take a look at the best hook-up apps to find the flawless Netflix and chill playmate.

App 1: Blendr

Lowdown: Free for iPhone. It asks to link to your Facebook to access your location, photos, interests, plus ‘friends’ who are signed up too. It links you up to singles who are up for hookup in your postcode but recall, the more info you put on about yourself, the more you can see about others.

Verdict: Popular with youthfull professionals (we came across a mix of 20-something chefs, builders, students, musicians and lawyers) who aren’t timid when it comes to no strings hookup.

App Two: Tingle

Lowdown: Its ‘radar’ system obscures where you are and you have to ‘wink’ at users before they can view your profile. A talk service means you don’t have to give out your number.

Verdict: Certainly helps you on your no strings hook-up quest, but be warned – the dudes we came across were of a lower quality than Blendr. One man’s profile picture was of a photo of his erect penis. Nice.

App Trio: Tinder

Lowdown: Albeit Tinder promotes itself as a dating app, many people use it as a hook-up implement. Pictures of potential matches in your area emerge on your screen and you like what you see, swipe right. Superficial but fairly joy. If both parties swipe right, you’ll match and can begin a convo. Links to your Facebook profile.

They’ve also introduced a fresh paid tier called Tinder Plus, where you’ll be able to undo a swipe left and super like to your heart’s content. Tinder Plus has also helped make holiday-goers desires come true by introducing a fresh features called Tinder Passport, which permits you to swipe on people anywhere in the world.

Verdict: Boys are much more subtle here. You’re likely to be invited out for a drink rather than just round for hook-up.

App Four: Disckreet

Lowdown: A fresh app that keeps your naked photos, belfies and lovemaking movies safe and secure. You can only access the files if you AND the other person(s) involved inject passwords. The idea behind this is that only you and your fucking partner can witness your previous bedroom antics together.

Verdict: Good for couples or f*** pals who want to spice things up in a safe way. It’s a solution to vengeance porn.

App Five: Sexy Vibes

Lowdown: An Android app that turns your phone into a wand. Yes, indeed. Can be managed remotely by your fucking partner, making even long distance hook-ups possible.

Verdict: Call us prudes, but we’re not keen on the thought of our phone (that goes so close to our face) being used as a lovemaking fucktoy.

App 6: Unspoiled

Lowdown: Good if you want to find no strings hook-up right now. Once you’re a member, you submit a request and state whether you’re looking for a man or a woman and where you’d choose to meet. You’ll then be given some potential matches.

Verdict: Fine for privacy. Your photo and tagline are only displayed for an hour at a time, which also means you’d better stir swift.

Verdict: We’re not sure how likely it is that there’s someone fanciable on your flight who also has this app. But if you want to begin your holiday romance before you’ve even left UK airspace, it’s very likely the best place to embark.

App 14: Her

Leave behind Grindr, Her is a hook-up app for LGBTQ women, by LGBTQ women. While it sells itself as more of a lesbo/bisexual/trans community rather than a dating platform, it’s one of the most popular apps for the audience in the entire world. Beyond meeting other like-minded individuals, you’ll also be able to find out about gay-friendly news and events going on in your area so you can take things offline.

Verdict: There aren’t enough apps out there for our LGBTQ sisters and as far as they go, this is one of the best. We love the news and events updates too.

App 15: Happn

If you want the magic of a meet-cute alongside your one night stand, Happn is a good bet. It embarked out in France back in 2015, but it’s quickly picked up speed around the world. The way it works is this: after you’ve finished setting up your profile, it tracks where you and other users have crossed paths – as well as how many times it’s happened (or happnd). It functions the same way as a match and you can strike up a conversation with them on the app.

Verdict: We truly love the concept of Happn and there’s some mighty fine talent on there. Its 250m radius is awesome for big sprawling cities like London, but if you’re somewhere like Leamington Spa then the pool’s going to dry up quick.

App 16: Skout

Skout is one of the older meet up apps in the bizz, dating back to 2007. It wears a lot of hats and like most other apps, works on a location-based system with a feed utter of user profiles/status messages. If you hop over to the Meet section, you’ll be able to find out who’s interested in making an offline connection…

Verdict: Skout’s not bad, however they’ve had a pretty difficult time dealing with the more unsavoury people in their user base. Their users skew as youthfull as thirteen years old and some people have been taking advantage of that in the worst way.

And now, the serious bit. Meeting up with total strangers always has risks, and more so if the prospect of having no strings lovemaking is on the cards.

How to be safe using dating apps for no strings lovemaking:

• Avoid exposing your exact location, keep it vague or switch your address.
• Do a background check on Twitter and type their name into google to pull up further info on them.
• Speak on the phone before meeting to get an idea of their personality.
• Look for inconsistencies, such as where they say they live or what they do. If you think they are lounging. Make your excuses and cut contact.
• Go with your instinct and gut feeling.
• Always arrange to meet in a public place during the day.
• Have your own transportation.
• Let a friend know exactly where you are meeting and make them check in with you by text a duo of hours in to check all is ok.

No Strings Hook-up: These Are The Best Apps To Download For Casual Hook-up

Без кейворда

This is the definitive guide to no strings hookup apps. You’re welcome.

Dating apps have survived the test of time, and many of us are guilty of a Sunday night swipe session when The Fear still hasn’t passed and Monday Fear kicks in. But instead of the traditional drinks-and-a-movie meet up, more and more of us are downloading apps that promise no strings hook-up.

Interested? Take a look at the best hookup apps to find the ideal Netflix and chill fucking partner.

App 1: Blendr

Lowdown: Free for iPhone. It asks to link to your Facebook to access your location, photos, interests, plus ‘friends’ who are signed up too. It links you up to singles who are up for lovemaking in your postcode but recall, the more info you put on about yourself, the more you can see about others.

Verdict: Popular with youthfull professionals (we came across a mix of 20-something chefs, builders, students, musicians and lawyers) who aren’t timid when it comes to no strings hook-up.

App Two: Tingle

Lowdown: Its ‘radar’ system obscures where you are and you have to ‘wink’ at users before they can view your profile. A talk service means you don’t have to give out your number.

Verdict: Undoubtedly helps you on your no strings hookup quest, but be warned – the dudes we came across were of a lower quality than Blendr. One man’s profile picture was of a photo of his erect penis. Nice.

App Three: Tinder

Lowdown: Albeit Tinder promotes itself as a dating app, many people use it as a hook-up contraption. Pictures of potential matches in your area emerge on your screen and you like what you see, swipe right. Superficial but fairly joy. If both parties swipe right, you’ll match and can begin a convo. Links to your Facebook profile.

They’ve also introduced a fresh paid tier called Tinder Plus, where you’ll be able to undo a swipe left and super like to your heart’s content. Tinder Plus has also helped make holiday-goers wishes come true by introducing a fresh features called Tinder Passport, which permits you to swipe on people anywhere in the world.

Verdict: Studs are much more subtle here. You’re likely to be invited out for a drink rather than just round for lovemaking.

App Four: Disckreet

Lowdown: A fresh app that keeps your naked photos, belfies and hookup movies safe and secure. You can only access the files if you AND the other person(s) involved come in passwords. The idea behind this is that only you and your playmate can see your previous bedroom antics together.

Donald Trump wants everyone to know his palms are a normal size

These Autumn TV shows will make you want to cancel all plans until Christmas

Taylor Swift is booed, called ‘greedy’ and slated by fans – all in the same week (ouch)

Verdict: Good for couples or f*** pals who want to spice things up in a safe way. It’s a solution to vengeance porn.

App Five: Sexy Vibes

Lowdown: An Android app that turns your phone into a massager. Yes, indeed. Can be managed remotely by your fucking partner, making even long distance hook-ups possible.

Verdict: Call us prudes, but we’re not keen on the thought of our phone (that goes so close to our face) being used as a lovemaking fucktoy.

App 6: Unspoiled

Lowdown: Good if you want to find no strings hook-up right now. Once you’re a member, you submit a request and state whether you’re looking for a man or a woman and where you’d choose to meet. You’ll then be given some potential matches.

Verdict: Excellent for privacy. Your photo and tagline are only displayed for an hour at a time, which also means you’d better stir swift.

App 7: Down

Lowdown: Down is an updated version of Bang With Friends. It finds your Facebook friends and friends of your Facebook friends. You can choose those you’d want to date and those you’d choose just to do the dirty with.

Verdict: For the plucky and brazen only as there is little anonymity.

App 8: 3nder (‘Thrinder’)

Lowdown: Always dreamed a threesome but never known where to find that special (extra) someone? Well, there’s now a dating app to help you out. 3nder works much like Tinder; log on through Facebook (there’s an option to switch your name), choose the composition of your group (Two+1, or 1+1+1) and swipe through hundreds of potential matches in your area.

Verdict: This app has the ease of tinder, and much like that, most of the joy lies in the swiping. Once you’ve matched, how things proceed is up to you.

App 9: Netflix and Chill

Lowdown: The phrase already immortalised in meme form now has its own app. It’s actually called TikiTalk, but opening up your screen, you’ll be confronted by the question that has become synonymous with ‘Fancy a shag?’

Verdict: This is a genius marketing strategy, because everyone knows what Netflix and Chill *indeed* means. However, there are other date options available here too, suggesting this app is more meet-up than hook-up.

Netflix and chill

App Ten: Mimitate

Lowdown: This app combines selfie-taking with Netflix. What more could we possibly want in 2016? Guys take a selfie and post it along with what they’re watching. If a female likes both offerings, she fires back a selfie mimicking his, opening up a talk.

Verdict: This app eliminates unwanted advances, as you’ll never receive messages unless you showcase interest by way of your selfie. Plus, it’s a hilarious and ingenious idea. Who knew taking selfies while watching Netflix could lead to so much joy?

App 11: Whiplr

Lowdown: This is the app to please all your kinks and fetishes. Getting beyond the puny talk it gets down to the nitty-gritty of what you want, what you truly, indeed want.

Verdict: You don’t need Facebook to log into this one and can choose a nickname. It’s very specific gender and kink-wise, so the potential is there to find your flawless playmate. However, the free service is limited and total use is a costly £14.99/£7.50 a month, monthly/annually. I guess the question is, how much you value your kink?

App 12: Bumble

Lowdown: Bumble calls itself a feminist app; for any matches that happen, the woman must begin the talk within twenty four hours, or it vanishes.

Verdict: Pressure is high with that time limit – but it helps you quickly figure out whether that fellow is worth the initial message.

App 13: Wingman

Lowdown: Going on holiday? Who cares what’s at the end of the plane journey, with this app the joy starts before you even land. Wingman lets you connect with others on your flight, providing you the chance for a sneaky in-flight get-together.

Verdict: We’re not sure how likely it is that there’s someone fanciable on your flight who also has this app. But if you want to embark your holiday romance before you’ve even left UK airspace, it’s most likely the best place to embark.

Dating apps have survived the test of time, and many of us are guilty of a Sunday night swipe session when The Fear still hasn’t passed and Monday Fear kicks in. But instead of the traditional drinks-and-a-movie meet up, more and more of us are downloading apps that promise no strings lovemaking.

Interested? Take a look at the best hookup apps to find the ideal Netflix and chill fucking partner.

App 1: Blendr

Lowdown: Free for iPhone. It asks to link to your Facebook to access your location, photos, interests, plus ‘friends’ who are signed up too. It links you up to singles who are up for hookup in your postcode but reminisce, the more info you put on about yourself, the more you can see about others.

Verdict: Popular with youthful professionals (we came across a mix of 20-something chefs, builders, students, musicians and lawyers) who aren’t bashful when it comes to no strings hookup.

App Two: Tingle

Lowdown: Its ‘radar’ system obscures where you are and you have to ‘wink’ at users before they can view your profile. A talk service means you don’t have to give out your number.

Verdict: Undoubtedly helps you on your no strings hook-up quest, but be warned – the boys we came across were of a lower quality than Blendr. One man’s profile picture was of a photo of his erect penis. Nice.

App Three: Tinder

Lowdown: Albeit Tinder promotes itself as a dating app, many people use it as a hook-up implement. Pictures of potential matches in your area show up on your screen and you like what you see, swipe right. Superficial but fairly joy. If both parties swipe right, you’ll match and can embark a convo. Links to your Facebook profile.

They’ve also introduced a fresh paid tier called Tinder Plus, where you’ll be able to undo a swipe left and super like to your heart’s content. Tinder Plus has also helped make holiday-goers fantasies come true by introducing a fresh features called Tinder Passport, which permits you to swipe on people anywhere in the world.

Verdict: Dudes are much more subtle here. You’re likely to be invited out for a drink rather than just round for lovemaking.

App Four: Disckreet

Lowdown: A fresh app that keeps your naked photos, belfies and hook-up movies safe and secure. You can only access the files if you AND the other person(s) involved inject passwords. The idea behind this is that only you and your fucking partner can observe your previous bedroom antics together.

Donald Trump wants everyone to know his forearms are a normal size

These Autumn TV shows will make you want to cancel all plans until Christmas

Taylor Swift is booed, called ‘greedy’ and slated by fans – all in the same week (ouch)

Verdict: Good for couples or f*** friends who want to spice things up in a safe way. It’s a solution to vengeance porn.

App Five: Sexy Vibes

Lowdown: An Android app that turns your phone into a wand. Yes, truly. Can be managed remotely by your playmate, making even long distance hook-ups possible.

Verdict: Call us prudes, but we’re not keen on the thought of our phone (that goes so close to our face) being used as a hookup fucktoy.

App 6: Unspoiled

Lowdown: Fine if you want to find no strings hookup right now. Once you’re a member, you submit a request and state whether you’re looking for a man or a woman and where you’d choose to meet. You’ll then be given some potential matches.

Verdict: Good for privacy. Your photo and tagline are only displayed for an hour at a time, which also means you’d better stir swift.

App 7: Down

Lowdown: Down is an updated version of Bang With Friends. It finds your Facebook friends and friends of your Facebook friends. You can choose those you’d want to date and those you’d choose just to do the dirty with.

Verdict: For the courageous and brazen only as there is little anonymity.

App 8: 3nder (‘Thrinder’)

Lowdown: Always dreamed a threesome but never known where to find that special (extra) someone? Well, there’s now a dating app to help you out. 3nder works much like Tinder; log on through Facebook (there’s an option to switch your name), choose the composition of your group (Two+1, or 1+1+1) and swipe through hundreds of potential matches in your area.

Verdict: This app has the ease of tinder, and much like that, most of the joy lies in the swiping. Once you’ve matched, how things proceed is up to you.

App 9: Netflix and Chill

Lowdown: The phrase already immortalised in meme form now has its own app. It’s actually called TikiTalk, but opening up your screen, you’ll be confronted by the question that has become synonymous with ‘Fancy a shag?’

Verdict: This is a genius marketing strategy, because everyone knows what Netflix and Chill *indeed* means. However, there are other date options available here too, suggesting this app is more meet-up than hook-up.

Netflix and chill

App Ten: Mimitate

Lowdown: This app combines selfie-taking with Netflix. What more could we possibly want in 2016? Guys take a selfie and post it along with what they’re watching. If a dame likes both offerings, she fires back a selfie mimicking his, opening up a talk.

Verdict: This app eliminates unwanted advances, as you’ll never receive messages unless you demonstrate interest by way of your selfie. Plus, it’s a hilarious and ingenious idea. Who knew taking selfies while watching Netflix could lead to so much joy?

App 11: Whiplr

Lowdown: This is the app to sate all your kinks and fetishes. Getting beyond the petite talk it gets down to the nitty-gritty of what you want, what you truly, truly want.

Verdict: You don’t need Facebook to log into this one and can choose a nickname. It’s very specific gender and kink-wise, so the potential is there to find your ideal playmate. However, the free service is limited and total use is a costly £14.99/£7.50 a month, monthly/annually. I guess the question is, how much you value your kink?

App 12: Bumble

Lowdown: Bumble calls itself a feminist app; for any matches that happen, the woman must embark the talk within twenty four hours, or it vanishes.

Verdict: Pressure is high with that time limit – but it helps you quickly figure out whether that boy is worth the initial message.

App 13: Wingman

Lowdown: Going on holiday? Who cares what’s at the end of the plane journey, with this app the joy starts before you even land. Wingman lets you connect with others on your flight, providing you the chance for a sneaky in-flight get-together.

Verdict: We’re not sure how likely it is that there’s someone fanciable on your flight who also has this app. But if you want to begin your holiday romance before you’ve even left UK airspace, it’s most likely the best place to commence.

App 14: Her

Leave behind Grindr, Her is a hook-up app for LGBTQ women, by LGBTQ women. While it sells itself as more of a lesbo/bisexual/trans community rather than a dating platform, it’s one of the most popular apps for the audience in the entire world. Beyond meeting other like-minded individuals, you’ll also be able to find out about gay-friendly news and events going on in your area so you can take things offline.

Verdict: There aren’t enough apps out there for our LGBTQ sisters and as far as they go, this is one of the best. We love the news and events updates too.

App 15: Happn

If you want the magic of a meet-cute alongside your one night stand, Happn is a good bet. It embarked out in France back in 2015, but it’s quickly picked up speed around the world. The way it works is this: after you’ve finished setting up your profile, it tracks where you and other users have crossed paths – as well as how many times it’s happened (or happnd). It functions the same way as a match and you can strike up a conversation with them on the app.

Verdict: We indeed love the concept of Happn and there’s some mighty fine talent on there. Its 250m radius is awesome for big sprawling cities like London, but if you’re somewhere like Leamington Spa then the pool’s going to dry up quick.

App 16: Skout

Skout is one of the older meet up apps in the bizz, dating back to 2007. It wears a lot of hats and like most other apps, works on a location-based system with a feed utter of user profiles/status messages. If you leap over to the Meet section, you’ll be able to find out who’s interested in making an offline connection…

Verdict: Skout’s not bad, however they’ve had a pretty difficult time dealing with the more unsavoury people in their user base. Their users skew as youthfull as thirteen years old and some people have been taking advantage of that in the worst way.

And now, the serious bit. Meeting up with total strangers always has risks, and more so if the prospect of having no strings lovemaking is on the cards.

How to be safe using dating apps for no strings hook-up:

• Avoid exposing your exact location, keep it vague or switch your address.
• Do a background check on Twitter and type their name into google to pull up further info on them.
• Speak on the phone before meeting to get an idea of their personality.
• Look for inconsistencies, such as where they say they live or what they do. If you think they are lounging. Make your excuses and cut contact.
• Go with your instinct and gut feeling.
• Always arrange to meet in a public place during the day.
• Have your own transportation.
• Let a friend know exactly where you are meeting and make them check in with you by text a duo of hours in to check all is ok.

App 7: Down

Lowdown: Down is an updated version of Bang With Friends. It finds your Facebook friends and friends of your Facebook friends. You can choose those you’d want to date and those you’d choose just to do the dirty with.

Verdict: For the courageous and brazen only as there is little anonymity.

App 8: 3nder (‘Thrinder’)

Lowdown: Always dreamed a threesome but never known where to find that special (extra) someone? Well, there’s now a dating app to help you out. 3nder works much like Tinder; log on through Facebook (there’s an option to switch your name), choose the composition of your group (Two+1, or 1+1+1) and swipe through hundreds of potential matches in your area.

Verdict: This app has the ease of tinder, and much like that, most of the joy lies in the swiping. Once you’ve matched, how things proceed is up to you.

App 9: Netflix and Chill

Lowdown: The phrase already immortalised in meme form now has its own app. It’s actually called TikiTalk, but opening up your screen, you’ll be confronted by the question that has become synonymous with ‘Fancy a shag?’

Verdict: This is a genius marketing strategy, because everyone knows what Netflix and Chill *truly* means. However, there are other date options available here too, suggesting this app is more meet-up than hook-up.

Netflix and chill

App Ten: Mimitate

Lowdown: This app combines selfie-taking with Netflix. What more could we possibly want in 2016? Guys take a selfie and post it along with what they’re watching. If a doll likes both offerings, she fires back a selfie mimicking his, opening up a talk.

Verdict: This app eliminates unwanted advances, as you’ll never receive messages unless you showcase interest by way of your selfie. Plus, it’s a hilarious and ingenious idea. Who knew taking selfies while watching Netflix could lead to so much joy?

App 11: Whiplr

Lowdown: This is the app to sate all your kinks and fetishes. Getting beyond the puny talk it gets down to the nitty-gritty of what you want, what you truly, truly want.

Verdict: You don’t need Facebook to log into this one and can choose a nickname. It’s very specific gender and kink-wise, so the potential is there to find your flawless playmate. However, the free service is limited and total use is a costly £14.99/£7.50 a month, monthly/annually. I guess the question is, how much you value your kink?

App 12: Bumble

Lowdown: Bumble calls itself a feminist app; for any matches that happen, the woman must begin the talk within twenty four hours, or it vanishes.

Verdict: Pressure is high with that time limit – but it helps you quickly figure out whether that dude is worth the initial message.

App 13: Wingman

Lowdown: Going on holiday? Who cares what’s at the end of the plane journey, with this app the joy starts before you even land. Wingman lets you connect with others on your flight, providing you the chance for a sneaky in-flight get-together.

Verdict: We’re not sure how likely it is that there’s someone fanciable on your flight who also has this app. But if you want to begin your holiday romance before you’ve even left UK airspace, it’s most likely the best place to embark.

App 14: Her

Leave behind Grindr, Her is a hook-up app for LGBTQ women, by LGBTQ women. While it sells itself as more of a sapphic/bisexual/trans community rather than a dating platform, it’s one of the most popular apps for the audience in the entire world. Beyond meeting other like-minded individuals, you’ll also be able to find out about gay-friendly news and events going on in your area so you can take things offline.

Verdict: There aren’t enough apps out there for our LGBTQ sisters and as far as they go, this is one of the best. We love the news and events updates too.

App 15: Happn

If you want the magic of a meet-cute alongside your one night stand, Happn is a good bet. It commenced out in France back in 2015, but it’s quickly picked up speed around the world. The way it works is this: after you’ve finished setting up your profile, it tracks where you and other users have crossed paths – as well as how many times it’s happened (or happnd). It functions the same way as a match and you can strike up a conversation with them on the app.

Verdict: We indeed love the concept of Happn and there’s some mighty fine talent on there. Its 250m radius is awesome for big sprawling cities like London, but if you’re somewhere like Leamington Spa then the pool’s going to dry up quick.

App 16: Skout

Skout is one of the older meet up apps in the bizz, dating back to 2007. It wears a lot of hats and like most other apps, works on a location-based system with a feed utter of user profiles/status messages. If you leap over to the Meet section, you’ll be able to find out who’s interested in making an offline connection…

Verdict: Skout’s not bad, however they’ve had a pretty difficult time dealing with the more unsavoury people in their user base. Their users skew as youthful as thirteen years old and some people have been taking advantage of that in the worst way.

And now, the serious bit. Meeting up with total strangers always has risks, and more so if the prospect of having no strings hook-up is on the cards.

How to be safe using dating apps for no strings lovemaking:

• Avoid exposing your exact location, keep it vague or switch your address.
• Do a background check on Twitter and type their name into google to pull up further info on them.
• Speak on the phone before meeting to get an idea of their personality.
• Look for inconsistencies, such as where they say they live or what they do. If you think they are lounging. Make your excuses and cut contact.
• Go with your instinct and gut feeling.
• Always arrange to meet in a public place during the day.
• Have your own transportation.
• Let a friend know exactly where you are meeting and make them check in with you by text a duo of hours in to check all is ok.

No Strings Hook-up: These Are The Best Apps To Download For Casual Hookup

Без кейворда

This is the definitive guide to no strings hookup apps. You’re welcome.

Dating apps have survived the test of time, and many of us are guilty of a Sunday night swipe session when The Fear still hasn’t passed and Monday Fear kicks in. But instead of the traditional drinks-and-a-movie meet up, more and more of us are downloading apps that promise no strings hook-up.

Interested? Take a look at the best lovemaking apps to find the flawless Netflix and chill fucking partner.

App 1: Blendr

Lowdown: Free for iPhone. It asks to link to your Facebook to access your location, photos, interests, plus ‘friends’ who are signed up too. It links you up to singles who are up for hookup in your postcode but reminisce, the more info you put on about yourself, the more you can see about others.

Verdict: Popular with youthful professionals (we came across a mix of 20-something chefs, builders, students, musicians and lawyers) who aren’t bashful when it comes to no strings hookup.

App Two: Tingle

Lowdown: Its ‘radar’ system obscures where you are and you have to ‘wink’ at users before they can view your profile. A talk service means you don’t have to give out your number.

Verdict: Undoubtedly helps you on your no strings lovemaking quest, but be warned – the dudes we came across were of a lower quality than Blendr. One man’s profile picture was of a photo of his erect penis. Nice.

App Trio: Tinder

Lowdown: Albeit Tinder promotes itself as a dating app, many people use it as a hook-up contraption. Pictures of potential matches in your area emerge on your screen and you like what you see, swipe right. Superficial but fairly joy. If both parties swipe right, you’ll match and can embark a convo. Links to your Facebook profile.

They’ve also introduced a fresh paid tier called Tinder Plus, where you’ll be able to undo a swipe left and super like to your heart’s content. Tinder Plus has also helped make holiday-goers fantasies come true by introducing a fresh features called Tinder Passport, which permits you to swipe on people anywhere in the world.

Verdict: Dudes are much more subtle here. You’re likely to be invited out for a drink rather than just round for lovemaking.

App Four: Disckreet

Lowdown: A fresh app that keeps your naked photos, belfies and hook-up movies safe and secure. You can only access the files if you AND the other person(s) involved come in passwords. The idea behind this is that only you and your playmate can see your previous bedroom antics together.

App Five: Sexy Vibes

Lowdown: An Android app that turns your phone into a wand. Yes, indeed. Can be managed remotely by your fucking partner, making even long distance hook-ups possible.

Verdict: Call us prudes, but we’re not keen on the thought of our phone (that goes so close to our face) being used as a lovemaking fucktoy.

App 6: Unspoiled

Lowdown: Good if you want to find no strings hook-up right now. Once you’re a member, you submit a request and state whether you’re looking for a man or a woman and where you’d choose to meet. You’ll then be given some potential matches.

Leave behind Grindr, Her is a hook-up app for LGBTQ women, by LGBTQ women. While it sells itself as more of a lezzie/bisexual/trans community rather than a dating platform, it’s one of the most popular apps for the audience in the entire world. Beyond meeting other like-minded individuals, you’ll also be able to find out about gay-friendly news and events going on in your area so you can take things offline.

Verdict: There aren’t enough apps out there for our LGBTQ sisters and as far as they go, this is one of the best. We love the news and events updates too.

App 15: Happn

If you want the magic of a meet-cute alongside your one night stand, Happn is a good bet. It began out in France back in 2015, but it’s quickly picked up speed around the world. The way it works is this: after you’ve finished setting up your profile, it tracks where you and other users have crossed paths – as well as how many times it’s happened (or happnd). It functions the same way as a match and you can strike up a conversation with them on the app.

Verdict: We truly love the concept of Happn and there’s some mighty fine talent on there. Its 250m radius is awesome for big sprawling cities like London, but if you’re somewhere like Leamington Spa then the pool’s going to dry up quick.

App 16: Skout

Skout is one of the older meet up apps in the bizz, dating back to 2007. It wears a lot of hats and like most other apps, works on a location-based system with a feed utter of user profiles/status messages. If you leap over to the Meet section, you’ll be able to find out who’s interested in making an offline connection…

Verdict: Skout’s not bad, however they’ve had a pretty difficult time dealing with the more unsavoury people in their user base. Their users skew as youthfull as thirteen years old and some people have been taking advantage of that in the worst way.

And now, the serious bit. Meeting up with total strangers always has risks, and more so if the prospect of having no strings hook-up is on the cards.

How to be safe using dating apps for no strings hook-up:

• Avoid exposing your exact location, keep it vague or switch your address.
• Do a background check on Twitter and type their name into google to pull up further info on them.
• Speak on the phone before meeting to get an idea of their personality.
• Look for inconsistencies, such as where they say they live or what they do. If you think they are lounging. Make your excuses and cut contact.
• Go with your instinct and gut feeling.
• Always arrange to meet in a public place during the day.
• Have your own transportation.
• Let a friend know exactly where you are meeting and make them check in with you by text a duo of hours in to check all is ok.

No Strings Hook-up: These Are The Best Apps To Download For Casual Hookup

Без кейворда

This is the definitive guide to no strings hookup apps. You’re welcome.

Dating apps have survived the test of time, and many of us are guilty of a Sunday night swipe session when The Fear still hasn’t passed and Monday Fear kicks in. But instead of the traditional drinks-and-a-movie meet up, more and more of us are downloading apps that promise no strings hookup.

Interested? Take a look at the best hook-up apps to find the flawless Netflix and chill fucking partner.

App 1: Blendr

Lowdown: Free for iPhone. It asks to link to your Facebook to access your location, photos, interests, plus ‘friends’ who are signed up too. It links you up to singles who are up for hookup in your postcode but reminisce, the more info you put on about yourself, the more you can see about others.

Verdict: Popular with youthful professionals (we came across a mix of 20-something chefs, builders, students, musicians and lawyers) who aren’t timid when it comes to no strings hook-up.

App Two: Tingle

Lowdown: Its ‘radar’ system obscures where you are and you have to ‘wink’ at users before they can view your profile. A talk service means you don’t have to give out your number.

Verdict: Undoubtedly helps you on your no strings hookup quest, but be warned – the dudes we came across were of a lower quality than Blendr. One man’s profile picture was of a photo of his erect penis. Nice.

App Three: Tinder

Lowdown: Albeit Tinder promotes itself as a dating app, many people use it as a hook-up device. Pictures of potential matches in your area emerge on your screen and you like what you see, swipe right. Superficial but fairly joy. If both parties swipe right, you’ll match and can commence a convo. Links to your Facebook profile.

They’ve also introduced a fresh paid tier called Tinder Plus, where you’ll be able to undo a swipe left and super like to your heart’s content. Tinder Plus has also helped make holiday-goers fantasies come true by introducing a fresh features called Tinder Passport, which permits you to swipe on people anywhere in the world.

Verdict: Guys are much more subtle here. You’re likely to be invited out for a drink rather than just round for lovemaking.

App Four: Disckreet

Lowdown: A fresh app that keeps your naked photos, belfies and lovemaking movies safe and secure. You can only access the files if you AND the other person(s) involved come in passwords. The idea behind this is that only you and your fucking partner can observe your previous bedroom antics together.

Verdict: Good for couples or f*** pals who want to spice things up in a safe way. It’s a solution to vengeance porn.

App Five: Sexy Vibes

Lowdown: An Android app that turns your phone into a hitachi. Yes, indeed. Can be managed remotely by your fucking partner, making even long distance hook-ups possible.

Verdict: Call us prudes, but we’re not keen on the thought of our phone (that goes so close to our face) being used as a lovemaking fucktoy.

App 6: Unspoiled

Lowdown: Superb if you want to find no strings lovemaking right now. Once you’re a member, you submit a request and state whether you’re looking for a man or a woman and where you’d choose to meet. You’ll then be given some potential matches.

Verdict: Fine for privacy. Your photo and tagline are only displayed for an hour at a time, which also means you’d better stir prompt.

App 7: Down

Lowdown: Down is an updated version of Bang With Friends. It finds your Facebook friends and friends of your Facebook friends. You can choose those you’d want to date and those you’d choose just to do the dirty with.

Verdict: For the courageous and brazen only as there is little anonymity.

App 8: 3nder (‘Thrinder’)

Lowdown: Always dreamed a threesome but never known where to find that special (extra) someone? Well, there’s now a dating app to help you out. 3nder works much like Tinder; log on through Facebook (there’s an option to switch your name), choose the composition of your group (Two+1, or 1+1+1) and swipe through hundreds of potential matches in your area.

Verdict: This app has the ease of tinder, and much like that, most of the joy lies in the swiping. Once you’ve matched, how things proceed is up to you.

App 9: Netflix and Chill

Lowdown: The phrase already immortalised in meme form now has its own app. It’s actually called TikiTalk, but opening up your screen, you’ll be confronted by the question that has become synonymous with ‘Fancy a shag?’

Verdict: This is a genius marketing strategy, because everyone knows what Netflix and Chill *truly* means. However, there are other date options available here too, suggesting this app is more meet-up than hook-up.

Netflix and chill

App Ten: Mimitate

Lowdown: This app combines selfie-taking with Netflix. What more could we possibly want in 2016? Guys take a selfie and post it along with what they’re watching. If a lady likes both offerings, she fires back a selfie mimicking his, opening up a talk.

Verdict: This app eliminates unwanted advances, as you’ll never receive messages unless you display interest by way of your selfie. Plus, it’s a hilarious and ingenious idea. Who knew taking selfies while watching Netflix could lead to so much joy?

App 11: Whiplr

Lowdown: This is the app to sate all your kinks and fetishes. Getting beyond the puny talk it gets down to the nitty-gritty of what you want, what you indeed, indeed want.

Verdict: You don’t need Facebook to log into this one and can choose a nickname. It’s very specific gender and kink-wise, so the potential is there to find your flawless fucking partner. However, the free service is limited and total use is a costly £14.99/£7.50 a month, monthly/annually. I guess the question is, how much you value your kink?

App 12: Bumble

Lowdown: Bumble calls itself a feminist app; for any matches that happen, the woman must embark the talk within twenty four hours, or it vanishes.

Verdict: Pressure is high with that time limit – but it helps you quickly figure out whether that boy is worth the initial message.

App 13: Wingman

Lowdown: Going on holiday? Who cares what’s at the end of the plane journey, with this app the joy starts before you even land. Wingman lets you connect with others on your flight, providing you the chance for a sneaky in-flight get-together.

Verdict: We’re not sure how likely it is that there’s someone fanciable on your flight who also has this app. But if you want to commence your holiday romance before you’ve even left UK airspace, it’s most likely the best place to embark.

App 14: Her

Leave behind Grindr, Her is a hook-up app for LGBTQ women, by LGBTQ women. While it sells itself as more of a lesbo/bisexual/trans community rather than a dating platform, it’s one of the most popular apps for the audience in the entire world.

Verdict: There aren’t enough apps out there for our LGBTQ sisters and as far as they go, this is one of the best. We love the news and events updates too.
