Do you have any preference when it comes to the different hookup apps out there? In general, there are tons of different online dating sites you can sign up for and some of them are free, others are paid, but most of them have a membership cost. You can choose from free instant hookup sites, paid instant hookup sites, free anonymous hookups sites, or paid discreet hookup sites. Some of them are really good, while others are... well, let's just say they're not so great.

Happn. Grindr. Tinday. Free anonymous hookup sites. Feeld.

If you've been looking around the Internet, you've probably scoured some of these sites just for the sheer awesomeness of seeing what all the fun is being had with the different hookup apps. There are literally thousands of different hookup apps out there that some person with an internet connection can log into and start searching for a date, a booty call, or even a threesome. Now, I think it's safe to say that everyone out there is looking for some form of hookup software that they can hookup with. Whether you're looking for a one night stand or a long term relationship, a hookup app may be exactly what you need.

So how do you know which one to choose? I feel like the answer is... probably none. Every single dating app has it's place. Even if you find an amazing one that you feel like is the perfect match for you, if you don't use it online, it won't do you any good.

That's why I feel like it's important to educate yourself on the best hookup apps. The first thing that you need to realize about most online casual sex dating apps is that they have to provide you with a pretty robust functionality in order to stand out from the pack. Some basic functions include; viewing profiles, viewing messages, viewing hookup options (romantically engaged or not), creating a casual sex profile and viewing pictures. Now, none of this is revolutionary, but it's impressive to see what the top adult Friendfinder and webcam chat programs have to offer you. Just browsing the online options alone will give you an idea of what you can expect to see.

However, I'd like to touch on a topic that doesn't get enough play online: safety. Safety is a huge concern for many people when it comes to hookup apps. While there hasn't been a large-scale study done on the subject to confirm what I'm saying here, it seems to me based on my own experiences that the most popular apps, are also the most likely to give you trouble in the future. Take Twitter, for example. While it's completely free and no major problems exist with it (as far as hookup apps go), I've seen countless stories of hacked email accounts and user names being used by spammers in attempts to spam users and attract attention to their hookup sites.

What does this have to do with the best hookup apps?

Well, in general, if you're looking for casual sex online, you don't really want to mess around with free or "fake" apps. They have too much risk and too many problems associated with them. As far as safety goes though, well, you can always just install a free one or use one of the paid versions, whichever appeals to you most.

There are a few different types of hookup apps out there, such as casual sex games, adult hookups, etc. Some of these are better than others, but most all of them have at least one thing in common. They help you keep track of your contacts, while allowing you to post relatively non-offensive profiles so you won't get banned. Also, they make it a lot easier to look up people by phone number, because now, the phone numbers are listed instead of hidden behind a "scruff" or mask.
