It calls itself the "most fair dating app available" because it encourages users to be up front about whether they want a casual fling or a more serious relationship. If you swipe up on a potential fucking partner to "Get Date," it means you think they’re relationship material and want something more than hookup. Just want to get down? You can select that option too by swiping down.
Pronounced "threen-der," this app won’t just find you one person to meet up with, it will score you two. Match with singles and/or couples, and choose from more than twenty sexualities in your profile. It’s private, too: You can remain anonymous and use whatever name you want, and set your profile so that any of your Facebook friends using the app won’t be able to see your profile.
Evidently, this dating app has more than three hundred fifteen million users, so if it’s options you’re after, Badoo has a ton. Basically the service permits you to talk with people who are nearby and people you have bumped into, which makes it lighter to strike up a casual thing with someone close by. Still thinking about the fellow you locked eyes with across the cafe at brunch? Hey, you might just find him on Badoo.
A casual hook-up should be nothing if not convenient, which is why this free, "socially flirtatious" app that lets you talk with people nearby is so damn popular—it has two hundred million downloads and counting! The app uses your phone’s location services to connect you with the other singles closest to you who also share your interests.
Happn’s also about connecting you with people with whom you’ve crossed paths—whether it’s at a cafe, work, or a party. Download the app and browse through singles to see how many times you’ve crossed paths, and where, so at least you can see someone who conveniently lives or works near you. Bonus: It’s free on iOS and Android.
OK, so it costs $Three to download this app, but if you’re partial to sending and receiving nudes, it’s very likely worth the investment. Especially if you don’t want your friends/family/colleagues to accidentally see a sexy selfie when they’re scrolling through the vacation snaps on your iPad. While Disckreet won’t necessarily connect you with someone to sext with, this encrypted app will act as a virtual password-protected safe for when you do determine to send raunchy photos. If there’s someone you’re sexting with permanently, then both of you can store your photos there, and they can only be accessed when you come in both of your passwords.
Free on iOS and Android, Whiplr helps you find people who share your kinks and fetishes, fully anonymously. To get commenced, you select what kind of stuff you’re into and what you want your potential playmate to like. Importantly, all the photos, movies, or messages you share via the app can be deleted on both your version of the app, and from the phone of the person you’re talking with too (as long as they didn’t stir swift to get a screenshot.) It’s free to get embarked, and there’s the option to pay a monthly subscription if you truly love the service.
