​

With the emergence of hookup sites, the era ended, in which people used to say “couples are made in heaven”. The process of finding a perfect match was once very difficult and time-consuming. Now, all those time-consuming tasks could be accomplished with just a few clicks of your mouse. All you have to do is browse and choose someone you find attractive and interesting.

​

Hook up websites or dating sites have one and only one aim- to provide the user a ‘being’ with whom he or she can be with. The world is full of people who are desperately seeking a better half.

​

Their search has been simplified with the development of hookup sites. Now they just log into their accounts and click on the ‘Search button’. Instantly, the sites provide them with a match. From that moment, a new beginning is forged. A story of two people, their emotions, and their feelings.

​

HOW TO BEGIN?

​

First of all, one has to find a genuine and legitimate site. Then comes the process of registration. One can easily sign up with their Facebook accounts or their other accounts like Gmail accounts or yahoo accounts. The accounts will be verified at first and after verification, the door of opportunities will be widely opened. Many websites directly place the option of ‘search for a partner’, just after the completion of the SignUp process. But there are some sites that ask many questions even after the registration process. These questions play a very vital and unique role in matching a partner of your choice and with the same interests. Your completed questionnaire will allow their algorithm to properly match you with another member.

​

WHAT COMES AFTER REGISTRATION?

​

After the registration process, members search for their match and when they find it, they can send them messages and pictures. Some websites also provide the options of sending videos. If the other member also shows interest, then there will be an opportunity to establish a relationship.

​

ADVANTAGES OF HOOKUP SITES

​

Having things in common with others can induce limitations. More members on a hookup site result in many more compatible partners. Millions of users are registered on some hookup sites, therefore the probability of getting a compatible partner increases as it is searched from a bigger pool of many users. Many of these sites are 100% free. They have also developed mobile apps so that users can easily access their accounts using their smartphones. Another advantage is finding a same sex partner. Although society may at times frown upon your sexuality, online hookup sites will not judge you, neither will their members.

​

DISADVANTAGES OF HOOKUP SITES

​

There have been instances when a hookup site’s database has suffered a hack. Ashley Madison was the latest big site to have its member’s information leaked. Ads can also put a strain on the user experience. Even though free hookup sites depend on ad revenue to sustain their business, they can lower the intrusiveness of these ads a little to promote a better user experience. Some sites have a weak database of users which makes finding a match nearly impossible. These types of sites should be avoided.
