But, for some people, it’s not enough to be single & attractive. You’ve also got to want adventure, crave spontaneity, and have a thirst for trying new things. Now clearly, this isn’t the type of person that’s going to be found on just another dating website. Sure, plenty of dating sites ask for personal details, but how many of these sites go as far as setting up dates & events?

That’s why today, I’m sharing what I learned while checking out Events & Adventures, a site that’s more likely to find you a kayaking partner than a second for dinner & a movie.

My Review of Events and Adventures Network

So…can you add some excitement to your life with Events & Adventures? Let’s find out!

First Glances

Events & Adventures’ website is fairly well designed, with a white & cream backdrop and easy to spot top links. Due to the nature of the organization, there isn’t a ton of detailed information on the site, just event calendars and options for sign up.

However, one thing I did enjoy checking out was the site’s blog, which most recently had current members talking about a recent international trip they took with Events & Adventures.

Blogs are a fantastic way to promote products like this, as firsthand experiences are almost universally preferred.

Cost Involved

So the costs associated with Events & Adventures are quite a bit different than your more traditional dating company. This is primarily due to the fact that the organization has physical offices or “clubs” in 11 different U.S. cities, all of which charge different rates for memberships. Usually, new patrons can expect to pay somewhere around $100 to $200 a month.

Something else to keep in mind is that these costs aren’t necessarily going to cover anything besides club access. So the events that you opt into with a potential partner will have additional fees associated with them, sometimes as much as another $200.

Getting Signed Up

In another departure from the typical dating sites, Events & Adventures also has an age limit: Twenty-one. While this may turn off some folks, the idea here is that a lot of the activities you’ll be signed up for have age requirements as well, so this way you can avoid any awkward situations.

Another interesting component of Events & Adventures is they do away with the standard sign up process. Instead, all you’re required to enter initially is your age & marital status. Once you’ve passed this step, you’ll then be contacted by an Events & Adventures representative to set up an in-person interview.

If everything goes as expected and you’re accepted, you’ll be expected to sign an NDA, along with an admission contract. You’ll also be asked to pre-pay for your membership in advance, which can be for both 1- and 2-year terms.

Experiences

The experiences offered up by Events & Experiences vary widely, so a lot of folks should have an easy time finding something exciting. If you’re more of an extreme sports junkie, they offer events like skiing, rock climbing, and paintball among their choices. For those living a tad less dangerously. There’s also plenty of interesting things to engage in, like cooking classes and Broadway shows.

Something that impressed us was the diversity offered here. Jazz brunches, wine tastings, whitewater rafting…just about everyone has a shot at having some fun here. You’re also not limited to a number of experiences you’re allowed to enjoy here. So, if it’s a particularly slow week or month you can really expand your wheelhouse.

International Options

Events & Adventures doesn’t just offer local experiences, they also provide the ability to go on longer international journeys. Usually, these experiences will be between 1 and 2 weeks and involve members spanning from all of the 11 cities inhabited by the club.

These trips are generally all-inclusive, meaning that costs include airfare, tours, and overnight stays. In the past year, they’ve gone to China, India, Peru, and the Florida Keys, just to name a few!

What If I Want Out?

Events & Adventures has a strict cancellation policy, which undoubtedly exists because of how expensive membership is. It’s likely more than one person has experienced buyer’s remorse.

At any rate, you’ll have just 24 hours from the time & date of payment to fully cancel your membership. If you miss this date, you’ve technically got an additional three days to cancel. Albeit…with a $400 processing fee to do so.

Frankly, it’s wise to do your homework with a site such as this. Do so in order to avoid situations where you lose your money. If you’re interested in getting the full breakdown for these policies, I recommend checking the fine print out on Events & Adventures’ website.

A Word To The Wise

While this doesn’t seem to be a major issue for them anymore, Events & Adventures was actually involved in a class-action lawsuit a few years back. It turned out that many potential users were being videotaped during the interview process without their consent.

While they seem to have done away with these practices nowadays, they were ordered to pay roughly 1 million dollars in damages. Definitely something to keep in mind.

The Bottom Line: Events & Adventures For All? No…

Look, Events & Adventures isn’t for everyone. Frankly, the cost of joining is a lot more than most people are willing to drop. Especially on date opportunities (even if they do involve skydiving). Dropping a couple of hundred dollars just to find another person who likes horseback riding? Certainly not an average expense.

But, if you’ve got the money for it & you’re new one of Events & Adventures 11 different cities, it might be the perfect way to make some new friends. And if you’re active enough, it stands to reason that you may even find a fellow adventurer to spend your life with!

So, for those that aren’t convinced about this network, you should head to the homepage and read this article over again.

My Tagged.com Review

Again, you’re just going to get the straight no BS review of this social network today. Nothing fluffed up and over-exaggerated by any means. If you’ve been using Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram then you know how social media works. this one is no different. Here’s my quick and dirty rundown of the site and why you might choose to stay away (at the end of the day).

What Is Tagged?

Tagged is a popular social networking platform that was started back in the early 2000s. While originally intended to be a purely friendly platform, it’s grown over the years, amassing an incredible 120,000,000 users. Nowadays, it’s predominantly popular with the African-American community. So, what do we think?

Reg/Join Process

Registration on Tagged requires email verification, in addition to a photo upload and a few pieces of information. You’re allowed to connect your Facebook & Google accounts here, so finishing up and getting to the site itself is all in all an easy process.

Features

A cool feature offered on Tagged is their games, which can really serve as great icebreakers when first getting to know someone. These all have integrated chat functionality so that you can set up private games with members you’re interested in.

Design

As far as design, the desktop version looks a lot like Myspace. Yes, that Myspace, the one that lost popularity around 2005. You can tell that this is marketed to young folks based on the sheer number of profile customization options.

Customize things like including patterned backgrounds, custom mouse cursors, and the ability to post YouTube videos to your profile. This is pretty tacky at the end of the day and might deter a lot of more mature users.

Just like many popular hookup apps around now, Tagged has a Tinder-like swiping game that works pretty much in the same fashion. As you browse through profiles one by one, you select them as an interest or choose to pass on them. If both parties have expressed interest, your profiles will be matched up and you’ll be able to reach out to them for messaging or game chats.

Conclusion: Not Bad, Not For Me Though

While it’s definitely a bit more than just a dating site, Tagged does a pretty decent job of providing a fun way to find possible partners. If you’re bored with the standard date apps and are looking for a fun new take, maybe give Tagged a shot.

However, this site is not for me. I’d rather use others that I know work like a charm versus chancing it here and likely striking out. My on-base percentage is WAY better here:  Fling.com World’s Best Personals!

What I Know About Snapbang…

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of dating sites on the internet of all types for all people and their interests. I think that I’ve probably tried a large number of them, and I’ve seen good sites, great sites, and sites that should be avoided at all costs. So, when I found Snapbang.com, I was curious as to where it fell on the scale of legitimateness in the world of hookup sites.

See, I don’t really want to date in the traditional sense, per se, but instead, I’m more interested in finding sites that will help me to find women who want to have sex and not have any of those pesky strings attached.

If you want to have a legit, long term, romantic relationship, an app like Snapbang.com will probably not be for you. However, if you’re just looking to get laid, and laid a lot, I think you’re going to like the ladies of Snapbang.com, they’re hot, sexy, and ready to get busy.

If you’re at all curious about Snapbang and why it is a great dating site for the adult dater, keep reading to find out why I think it is one of the best sites out there for hookups and casual sex oh and let me not forget snapping nudes as well.

Snapbang.com is Totally Authentic

There are a few things you should look for in any site that you decide to use for your dating needs, whatever those needs may be. If any dating site you’re using hides their terms of service or makes it super difficult to find them, then you’re probably going to want to avoid using that site.

Snapbang.com has all of its legal stuff easily found by any user and what you’ll find there gets a big thumbs up from me. Not only do they not create fake profiles to boost membership numbers, they don’t utilize the types of fake profiles, typically called “Love Stars” or “Love Cupids”, that are run by the site to make you think you’re talking to a real person that you’ll someday meet, but you never will.

Didn’t know that dating sites did that sort of thing? Well, they do. And if a site does that, they have to list it in their terms of service, so be sure to read those, no matter how long and boring they may seem.

Anyway, Snapbang has simple terms, doesn’t use fake profiles, and is secure, which is another great feature. But, those are only the beginning!

Other Reasons Why Snapbang.com is Legit

If the above reasons weren’t enough, there are definitely more that make Snapbang.com a top site in the casual sex and hookup game. First, you can join for free, which is a huge bonus. Yes, you can pay to upgrade to a premium membership and use the advanced tools that the site has to offer, but that’s pretty much the same for every other dating site, good or bad.

If you’re curious as to what the price will run you, here you go:

• Two-day trial: $1
• Seven-day trial: $9.95
• One-month membership: $6.67
• Six-month membership: $34.95

So, in the world of dating sites, you can see that Snapbang.com is very affordable, especially when you consider these reasons why Snapbang.com is a great hookup site.

#1: Account Verification Required

Snapbang.com’s creators do not have time for fake profiles or people looking to scam or catfish other members, so they do require all members to provide some verification of their identity. This is something only great dating sites do and while it may seem like an additional step, remember it is keeping you safe while you’re on the site and assuring you that the women you’re talking to are serious about meeting up.

#2: Snapbang.com is Discreet

If you join and you want to keep things kind of private, you have the option to set your profile to discreet. This is great if you don’t want someone you know seeing your profile if they use the site as well. The discreet setting allows you to control who you talk to and lets you avoid awkward conversations with someone you know if they’ve seen you’re on the lookout for easy tail.

#3: Secure Payments

Snapbang has SSL certification, so no worries about putting your credit card info into their site if you decide to upgrade. There is almost no chance of anyone stealing your info so you can relax and spend your time hunting for willing ladies who want nothing more than to get into your bed.

#4: Fake Profiles Are Removed

No matter how secure a site is, sometimes frauds can sneak through the protective measures a site has in place. Snapbang.com takes this seriously and even has a “Report Profile” button you can press to let them know that you think something shady is going on with a particular profile.

If anyone asks you for money, gets nasty, or just seems off, do not hesitate to report them to the people behind Snapbang.com and they will take care of it for you. And, really, you need to stay on your best behavior as well, because they will not allow anyone to be malicious, mean, or abusive, and they certainly aren’t going to allow illegal activities on their site. Use common sense and be a nice guy if you want to keep using Snapbang.com.

My Final Thoughts

I’ve been around the dating site block and I’ve seen everything that bad dating sites will do to make their site look good. Thankfully, Snapbang.com is not one of the bad guys. Instead, it most certainly is one of the good ones, probably one of the best. Although, I always go to my Fling login before all others.

If you’re looking to find a site that will allow you to have many hookups with few headaches, then I would highly recommend you check out Snapbang.com. They’re safe, easy to use, affordable, don’t use fake profiles, and they are totally geared towards their members. There really isn’t much more you can ask for in a dating site, in my humble opinion.

Bedpage Review and Site Analysis

It’s no secret that I’m not the biggest fan of sites that do a few things. First, I don’t like sites that name themselves after other, more popular sites to try and trick desperate guys into using them. And second, it’s no secret that I’m not the biggest fan of escort and prostitute sites. Besides being illegal in most places, these types of sites rarely have real escorts or sex workers, but instead, are full of fake ads that trick lonely guys into thinking they’re going to meet the woman pictured.

Before I begin my review, don’t go sending me hate on my dislike of prostitution. I don’t judge, you do what’s right for you, but I prefer to not pay for sex. That being said, I do always look at these escort sites with an open, but critical eye so you don’t get yourself in trouble, beat up, robbed, or sick from something that requires a strong antibiotic or can’t be cured.

So, what is Bedpage? If you’ve used any escort sites before, you’ve probably heard of Backpage. Backpage was a site that had personals ads, escort ads, and was kind of like Craigslist, but a little dirtier.

Backpage is gone because of a bill passed to prevent sex trafficking. FOSTA/SOSTA was passed around March of 2018 and has pretty much convinced all sites like Craigslist and Backpage to either remove the personals sections or completely close up shop. This doesn’t mean that escort sites don’t exist, they do, but they really leave much to be desired, in my opinion.

Enter Bedpage. Bedpage is a site that was created using a spiffy little name to try and make you think that it is a sexier version of Backpage. But, is it? If you’re at all curious about using Bedpage, read my review to find out if I would recommend it.

4 Reasons Why Bedpage is a Joke

I really took the time to look at everything Bedpage had to offer because I wanted to be completely sure about what it was and if it was a decent site or not. I didn’t have to poke around long to find out exactly what Bedpage was about and believe me, it is exactly what I suspected. Here are the reasons I found that Bedpage.com is a complete waste of time.

#1. Copycat Homepage.

When you land on the Bedpage homepage, you’re going to see that is an exact replica of the Backpage homepage before they were seized by the government. However, don’t let this fool you, it is not Backpage and has absolutely nothing to do with Backpage.

Remember, Backpage was just like Craigslist in that it offered up ads that weren’t sex-related. Bedpage has those same categories listed, but if you check any of them, you’ll see there are no ads posted. Bedpage is nothing but a method of advertising dating sites and fake escort ads.

#2. Ads, Ads, Ads.

This site likes to post ads. Like, everywhere you look, there are ads. Not all those ads are bad, mind you, they’ve got some ads of dating and hookup sites that are actually very good for getting laid.

However, if you’re planning on using Bedpage for finding an escort, you’re probably going to be disappointed. The number of true escort ads is very slim, which I’ll get to in a second, and the number of dating site ads is almost overwhelming.

If you do want to use Bedpage to find a dating site, you want to be careful there as well. Yes, some of the sites they advertise are very good, but many are also fraud sites themselves. Really, you have got to be careful when using Bedpage.

#3. Fake Images.

When you do stumble across an escort ad, you’re going to notice that they are all usually very sexy women. I’m not saying sexy women aren’t working as escorts, I’m sure there are very fine women in the world’s oldest profession. What I question is the fact that every single escort is gorgeous.

When I see something like that, I get on my detective hat and start doing a little more investigation in the form of a reverse image search on Google. What I found is exactly what I suspected.

Every picture I took the time to search was, in fact, stolen. See, when dating site creators make a site, they will look for hotties who have posted on other sites and they “scrape” them, or in layman’s terms, steal them, to use on their site. The original person who posted their photo elsewhere has no idea their image is being used to promote Bedpage and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be happy about it.

What does all this mean to you? Well, what it means is this: if you find a sexy escort and you contact her wanting an hour or so of her time, the picture you were so enthralled with is likely not the woman who will show up on your doorstep. Maybe that doesn’t bother you but think about it.

Let’s say you find a cute blonde, you order her up, and you get a knock on your door. You open the door and the woman who showed up is not the woman you thought would show up and even worse, she isn’t doing it for you. Like, she’s giving you whiskey dick (speaking of whiskey, here are some cocktails to try) because she’s a two-bagger.

Now, what do you do? You’ve got an angry prostitute in your house who won’t leave until she’s paid, and you certainly don’t want to have sex with her, and you don’t want to pay for something you didn’t do. Do you call the police? How in the hell can you without admitting you were looking to illegally hire a prostitute?

So, I guess what I’m saying is please, PLEASE be careful if you decide to use Bedpage. You really have no legal leg to stand on if things go awry.

#4. I’m Not the Only One Who Thinks Bedpage is a Fraud.

After everything I’ve said, you might think I’m being a wimp, being dramatic, or just totally against using paid sex workers, and all of that is fair. But, I want you to know that I’m not the only one who finds Bedpage to be a fraud site. If you don’t trust me, trust the experiences of others who have used the site.

Ripoffreport.com is a great resource to use when you’re considering any type of dating site, whether it is a mainstream site, a more adult type of dating site, or an escort site. If you look at the report on Bedpage, you’re going to see that others have tried it and have been ripped off. And, if you don’t trust me, and you don’t trust them, then nothing I say is going to convince you.

Final Verdict on Bedpage

I don’t like sites that make their money from ripping off unsuspecting people and unfortunately, Bedpage is one of those sites. The whole escort/prostitution thing aside, people are using Bedpage to satisfy something in themselves and the site creators are playing off that need, which is pretty awful in my book.

If you must find yourself a sex worker, I promise you, Bedpage is not the place to do it. You’re really better off joining a hookup site and finding someone interested in a mutually legal sexual relationship, but again, you do what’s right for you. Just don’t do it on Bedpage, k?

Sinder apps were created for those of us who don’t want a relationship but instead want to have access to other people looking to get busy. Yep, you read that right. Sinder apps, which are a collection of sex apps similar to Tinder, are created for the casual, adult dater who is only looking for sexual encounters and none of the bravado that comes with dating.

So, how do you know which Sinder apps are worth your time and will actually get you laid? It can be confusing for sure, but luckily for you I’ve found six of the best Sinder apps on the market that you’re going to want to check out.

7 of the Best Sinder Apps on the Market

Sinder is a play on “sin” and “Tinder”, but don’t let the cutesy name make you think these aren’t serious apps for getting laid. I have tried these six apps and I assure you I would not recommend anything that hasn’t worked for me. If you’re ready to get more ladies than you can handle, consider trying out one, or more, of these Sinder Apps.

1. Bumble

Bumble calls itself a social networking and dating app, which sounds reminiscent of Facebook or LinkedIn, but I promise you, the only social networking I found was horny folks looking to get busy.

Bumble is kind of unique in that the women, if it’s a heterosexual relationship they’re after, do all the contacting on the site. This means women need to be the Alpha and do the chasing, which is both unique and refreshing.

The only downfall of Bumble is that some women are really shy about making the first move, so you may not get as many contacts initially as you’d like, but don’t let that drive you away. If you need sex quicker, I say get Bumble in addition to another Sinder app and eventually you’ll be swarming in ladies.

2. Snapsext

I love Snapsext. It is probably one of my favorite Sinder apps that has ever been created and is something I recommend to all my buddies when they’re in a sex drought.

Snapsext is a mash-up of Snapchat and Tinder, but without the fear of being banned because you like sharing pictures of your ahem, goods. The people of Snapsext are there for a dirty good time and let me tell you, the women I’ve shared pics with are smokin’ hot.

As for sexual encounters, those have always been crazy too, so if you’re looking for someone that is willing to join you for fun times in the bedroom without any strings, then Snapsext is definitely a Sinder app you need to try out.

3. Happn

Happn is a very different app and instead of being a proper dating site, it is more of a GPS type of thing that lets you know what other users of Happn have crossed your path in a day. I know it sounds strange, but for me, it has matched me up with some women I probably wouldn’t have found or considered otherwise.

The main problem with Happn is that you really need to live in a larger city for it to work. My friends living in small towns and out in the boonies aren’t going to be as successful as my big city fam, so unless you’re in a pretty big and bustling town, you might want to avoid using Happn.

4. Fling

Fling is fire and the OG of Sinder apps and guess what? It still works! Fling doesn’t disguise itself as a relationship site, instead, it is for people who want nothing more than a quickie fling, hence the name.

Fling has a great search feature that lets you really personalize the type of women you are talking to.

So, if you like blondes into BDSM, you’ll be able to search for it. Or, maybe you want a couple looking for a third to play with. You can check out those couples too.

Honestly, whatever you want in the bedroom, barring anything totally illegal, you’re probably going to find it on Fling.

One thing you definitely need to know about Fling is that you are only going to have success if you upgrade your membership to a paid member. It is free to join, but free memberships don’t have much success in my experience. If you can spare a few bucks a month, you’ll be pleased with Fling, I know I continue to be.

5. Sweatt

If you’re one of my New York City peeps, and you’re into fit girls, Sweatt might be of interest to you. Sweatt is a Sinder app that connects those of us who are way into fitness and abs and less into eating cake in our undies every night after work. (Don’t judge me, I got my life under control now).

Sweatt uses a question and answer format to match you with someone of similar interests and trust me, you need to be the type of guy that lives the fitness lifestyle because these women all do. They legit won’t give you the time of day if you’re not swole, so don’t even bother if you’ve got a beer gut.

6. The Grade

I’ve saved The Grade for last for a few reasons. First, it did work for me, I will give it that. I had some very hot encounters on a few occasions, so it was worth my time in getting it and using it as a Sinder app.

What I didn’t really enjoy is The Grade’s algorithm.

Wait, what the eff am I talking about, right?

The algorithm on The Grade is there to weed out the less desirable members and the ones who aren’t serious about using the app. But, it also grades you on your behavior while using the app and if you’re someone who likes to talk dirty before you meet someone, you’re going to get dinged for it. Guess what that means.

That means you don’t get a passing grade. (That’s where their name comes from, by the way. Just in case you didn’t know).

All-in-all, The Grade isn’t terrible but might be more for a guy who acts more “vanilla” than I tend to on sex apps.

7. Fuckbook

I couldn’t leave without talking about the original Fuckbook app. This one is lights out and works quite well if you’re looking to just fuck. However, if you’re looking for something more traditional like a normal Tinder love of some sort, then you’re out of luck buddy.

Final Thoughts on Sinder Apps

Dating sites are great if you’re looking to date. If you’re like me and you’re not looking to be tied down right now (at least not in the traditional sense), then you should definitely consider Sinder apps for matching up with like-minded women. Give a few of these apps a try, stay active on them, and I can pretty much guarantee that you’re going to have the time of your life.

Full disclosure, I’m not necessarily into the Christian or mainstream dating stuff, but that doesn’t mean that you should pass it up 100% just because I don’t like it. Research things by reading this and learn more about this niche.

I’ll kick things off with the typical introduction…

Have you been without a companion for quite some time? Is it difficult for you to find what you would consider your perfect match? Once upon a time, finding a significant other was as easy as waiting for your parents to find you your husband or wife. Nowadays, the mindsets regarding dating and relationships have changed completely.

In 2019, online dating isn’t as much the “next big thing” as it is the only thing, which is why almost everyone you know has either tried finding someone via the internet or is currently on the hunt.

Another component for why online dating has become so popular is what we often call the “hustle & bustle” or the “rat race.” Modern times require us to be busy just about every second of the day, which means it’s a lot harder now to meet individuals in person.

There are quite a few dating websites that cater to different specialties, like BDSM and swinging, but in addition to these types of “flavors,” there are also dating sites based on religion, for example, quite a few people have heard of “JDate,” a Jewish-centric dating site.

In this article, I’ll be covering Christian dating sites, in the hopes that those of this particular faith may be able to find love online.

The Best Christian Dating Sites (According To Me)

Here’s a list of the best and they’re in no particular order. Just read up on each of them and take action where you see fit. There you go!

Zoosk

Zoosk has been running strong for over a decade, it’s also an alternative to Tinder, receiving a slew of awards in the process. Because of this, Zoosk has been quite successful in the online dating world, gaining a following of over 40 million individuals as of 2019. Initially, a component of Facebook, Zoosk founders Shayan Zadeh, and Alex Mehr quickly realized that the app was being used primarily for romantic connections, after which time they started pushing the dating functions as the primary use for Zoosk.

In recent years, what has made Zoosk stand out from the crowd is their Behavioral Matchmaking technology, which constant learns behinds the scenes and tries to make you better, more meaningful connections.

Match

Match.com (who also owns Datehookup.com) has been around for an exceptionally long time, first hitting the internet in 1995, where it was featured in an article in the popular technology magazine ‘Wired”. It’s been a “pay-to-play” website since its inception, a trend that continues to this day.

Due to the sheer amount of time Match.com has been live, the company has released a version of their site in over twenty different languages, making it an extremely popular option of individuals looking for something a little more international. It’s also almost 50% single parents, to keep that in mind if you’re going to take a look.

In 2019, they’ve been releasing design and functionality updates pretty often, including layout changes and a completely new interface.

eHarmony

eHarmony isn’t strictly for Christians, but like the other sites I’ve already mentioned, it’s got the ability to keep your searches in line with your beliefs, which makes it a great dating resource for Christian singles.

The website was founded in 2000 by Dr. Neil Clark Warren, a clinical psychologist, as well as a proclaimed “relationship specialist” with over thirty years’ worth of experience in the field.

e-Harmony is known for its Compatibility Matching System, which Dr. Warren had a large hand in developing. The site was one of the first to offer only matches that they selected for their members, as opposed to looking for the connections themselves. It’s the perfect dating site for individuals who make be somewhat intimidated by the sheer amount of options other dating sites provide.

Christian Mingle

Easily one of the better-known Christian dating apps, Christian Mingle has been running strong since 2001. They claim to have helped hundreds of thousands of folks meet their long-term Christian partners, and claim to have a user base of over 15 million people currently.

Something that the site has made sure to tackle is the mobile realm, keeping up with their contemporaries by making their website fully accessible from mobile browsers, an approach that I think is smart, given that their user base tends to be a bit older. I would assume that this is also the main driver behind the exceptionally high marriage rates that Christian Mingle boasts about.

Interestingly, Christian Mingle offers limited functionality for free members, something that seems a little counter-intuitive given the social framework we’re discussing here.

Christian Cafe

If you can believe it, Christian Cafe is exactly what it sounds like: a website designed to set up coffee dates with fellow Christians. It is proudly Christian-owned and operated, and has been running since 1999. The site takes a hardline stance against polyamory, with married and “taken” individuals being barred from participating in the site.

Christian Cafe tends to be more about community than anything else, which is why they’re so particular about who joins their ranks. Foul language is banned, along with any sort of overt eroticism, be it in users’ photos or even in their profile text. They also are very proactive with fake profiles, eliminating any users that have been inactive for more than 90 days.

The site sticks to a more typical profile search-based approach, allowing their users to browse the profile database based on their list of requirements.

OurTime

OurTime is an age-based dating platform, with users being required to be over the age of 50. The website tried to keep things a little bit more streamlined than other sites, stripping away some peripheral features instead of an “easy-to-use” interface, something they’ve done to make online dating a bit easier for the senior crowd.

OurTime offers most of their functionality free of charge, although they do offer a paid plan that provides some limited enhancements, with charges starting at $15 a month.

The site doesn’t stay strictly within the dating realm either, with OurTime offering options for friendships, short-term connections, and long-term relationships.

Christian People Meet

Rounding out this list is Christian People Meet, another Christian-specific dating site that offers a bunch of “21st century” functions like Instant Matching (a swipe function similar to Tinder) and the ability to engage in video chat.

The website’s got a modern, polished look that I appreciate, which pairs quite well with its long list of features. While they don’t have a lot of the complex compatibility functions seen on sites like Match.com or Christian Mingle, it’s still a great option for Christians looking for love.

Conclusion: Choose One Christian Dating Network And Take Action!

While I’m not into the Christian dating scene, if you are, you’ve now got plenty of options. I’ve provided you with more sites than you need and if you’re not into this niche either, then great, you can hang with me at the strip clubs yucking it up with all the call girls and meeting local chicks on Fling sites.

I know a thing or two about hooking up and this should clear the air for the single women out there interested in what’s going through our brain and body.

What Hook Ups Mean To Most Guys

Truthfully, the definition for a hookup isn’t easily pinned down. The term seems to mean something completely different to each new person who uses it, usually being tied to their experiences, as well as the opinions of those around them. For men, the phrase had tended to mean connecting physically with a woman, which could mean cuddling, making out, or full blown sex.

Guy Brains

It brings me great joy to give you ladies a bit of a peek behind the curtain regarding how men think, generally speaking. On any given day, we think about sex roughly 60% of the time.

The rest of it is taken up with survival and work. My point here is that a man is almost always going to have a tendency to connect any and every new thought immediately to “doing it.”

Throwing around a word like hookup around in the presence of your typical caveman-type will almost definitely arouse some feelings of desire.

First Steps

When you’re trying to hookup, the whole situation can fly by before you’ve even had a chance to understand the situation. Sometimes you can kill the mood before there even IS a mood, all but guaranteeing that you’ll be spending that night alone.

That being said, communication is key, and starting off with a mutually agreed upon understanding of that night’s expectations can be the difference between hooking up with a person…or hooking up with your hand.

Ground Rules

Honestly, this all comes down to how you explain yourself. For folks who like to know where they stand at all times, it can really be beneficial to be forthcoming with your wants and needs. If you’re just entering the online dating scene, it can be pretty scary out there…

However, if you’re someone who has been hitting the online hookup scene for a while, it might be easier for you to set ground rules within the first few messages, as opposed to later down the line.

What I suggest is just giving the people you talk to a simple breakdown. Say something like “I’m definitely looking for fun, but I need to make sure you understand a few things about me.”

Then, you can give them a simple breakdown of your wants, like ” I won’t do A, but I’ve positively been daydreaming about maybe trying B, as long as your OK with C.”

Ladies’ Perspectives

While as a male I’d like to think that the majority of us are down to Earth and respectful, the truth of the matter is that it’s a jungle out there. Stalkers and men with possession issues can pop up just about anywhere, which is why it’s crucial to keep your wits and common sense about you when entering into hookup situations.

Another thing you’ll definitely want to think about is just how much information you’re providing these strangers.

It can be incredibly enticing to receive attention from a potential mate, especially if you haven’t been on the scene a lot lately. But just because you’re anxious for physical connections doesn’t mean you should show them all your cards.

Make sure you select a public meeting place when having that first encounter, even if you’re intentions are to come back to yours. That extra hour of time will usually give you all the details you want to have before making a firm choice on someone.

Ask Them Everything

While this is somewhat related to my “Ground Rules,” this part of hooking up deserves its own sidebar.

Asking questions is incredibly important during situations like this, and you shouldn’t be afraid to probe as deeply as you see fit.

If they seem possessive, ask them about their exes. If they’re cheap, ask them about their home and social life. If they seem too aggressive for you, ask them what they want.

I am honestly always shocked at how many people forget that they’re allowed to be curious, and embracing that quality not only gives you a higher likelihood of a safe experience, but also can often enhance the conversation, and therefore improve the connection you’re making.

Have Fun (Please!)

Here’s a point that I don’t think women always think about when it comes to casual dating, and that’s how much fun it can be. These are exactly the types of situations that can boost your confidence and help you learn exactly what it is you like and don’t like.

Remember that this should be about you finding pleasure in the ways you like the best, not another excuse to sacrifice your needs because a man is looking to pay some attention to you.

Safety Tips

Something that a lot of my female friends do is send screencaps of their messages and exchanges to a trusted friend before meeting their date for that night, something I think is an absolute must when hooking up.

It also isn’t a terrible idea to carry something like pepper spray or a taser when entering these sort of situations. Unfortunately, almost all of us have that one friend who has escaped a close call while walking home from the bar. This added bit of protection can be exactly what you need to enter a potential hookup with confidence.

So, What’s It All Mean To Us Men?

I think it’s probably safe to say that hooking up provokes a relatively straightforward understanding in most males. A lot of us have been hooking up for years, and continue to make it our preferred dating method.

If you’re going to propose hooking up with a male friend in 2019, you should go into it knowing that they probably expect sex (I know that I’m about that life). If you don’t think that’s what you’d like, be loud and clear with what it means to you…’cause for us, it just sounds like a recipe for fun!
