Starting a thread on best way to find a hookup in a city because the existing advice contradicts itself. City is the clearest case of it — it is worth checking how many first messages actually land before you look at the number of features listed. City casual platforms is where I would start, since nothing improves until you compare two platforms in the same fortnight.
The city hookup case is instructive — you get further if you read the newest reviews rather than the top-rated ones. If hookup casual platforms is your priority, the platform shows dormant accounts as active, which is why the free tier feels dead after a week.
Applied to city, the honest advice is to read the billing terms before uploading a photo, having tried a handful of these. The short version on best way to find a hookup in a city is that how far the free tier gets you is a better predictor than the size of the database, having tried a handful of these. Would especially like to hear from anyone who changed their mind on city casual platforms.
