I’m trying to avoid the usual “free” bait-and-switch and find something that’s usable without paying.
Who are the hookupers using most—Tinder or something else? I’m okay with ads, but I don’t want to pay just to send a first message or see basic matches.
I’m also thinking about privacy: what info to share, when to move off-platform, and how to spot red flags.
- Watch for copy‑paste scripts.
- Don’t rush to share your phone number.
- Meet in public and tell a friend.
- Keep chats on-platform early on.
- No money requests—instant block.
- Reverse-image-search suspicious photos.
