Predictably, people turn to dating apps to try and find someone that’s out of their circle.

If you’re not sure about which dating site you should sign up for (AKA spend money on) or which app to download, testing them out for free first is a great idea. But for some dating apps and sites, the free version may actually be all you need.
Online dating is hard, y’all — but so is dating in person. Basically, dating is just the worst. Until you find someone you truly vibe with, that is. Then dating is *the best.*
At some point you’ve probably considered registering for a dating site — that is, until you see the subscription prices and decide that maybe it’s cheaper to just sip a beer at a bar. Sorry, eharmony, but some of us don’t have the funds to spend $40 per month on finding a significant other. We got bills, yo. Read more…

Relationships are definitely cool and all. It’s fun to get special presents for holidays, and definitely feels nice to have someone to cuddle up with during cuffing season. Sure.
You know what’s also cool? Being able to hook up with whoever you want.

While being single definitely has its perks, you’re still gonna want to do the dirty — and let’s face it, sliding into someone’s DMs or awkwardly going up to someone at the bar isn’t the most endearing way to be like “Yo, I’d like to have sex with you.”
Well, there’s an app for that.
It’s called iHookup, and it’s used for exactly what it sounds like it’s used for. Read more…

We love a good party as much as anyone. But the logistics of trying to get to know someone in a packed basement over blaring trap music while someone does body shots in the corner are a bit challenging. It’s not exactly the prime environment for romance. (Although maybe you’re not looking for romance? Party on, friend.)
Dating apps are the saving grace of college students everywhere. Whether you’re serious about finding someone, or just looking for a quick hookup, you may not need to look further than the right app. After all, everyone’s doing it.

Zoosk review: Easy to use and a great design, but loaded with fake accounts

With the number of dating sites and apps out there in the wild, you might think it’s never been easier to find someone special. And in some ways, it is. Options are good, right? Thanks to technology, there are loads of options for connecting with someone online. Love is now just a swipe away.
But with each new dating app or dating site that hits the market, there is the potential for new dating sites to dilute the dating pool, thus making it more challenging to find a parter who’s well-suited to you.
Enter Zoosk, an online dating site and mobile app that promises ease of use and practicality in the singles world. Instead of filling out long and tedious questionnaires about yourself and your ideal match, it simply takes the online profiles for the social media accounts you’ve already created and seamlessly integrates your information into your account. Who knows you better than Google and Facebook when it comes to your life online? In fact, Zoosk started out as one of the first Facebook apps when the social media platform began to open up to more users back in December 2007. Read more…
