Recently, I’ve been considering using a website or an app for people looking to hookup. I am a young male living in a college town and the idea of a committed relationship doesn’t hold much appeal to me yet, but casual sex does. I figure that with a website/app dedicated solely to hooking up (I’ve found a few), I could find some people with similar intentions, people who like sex but aren’t looking for anything long-term. Does this sound like a remotely good idea? What do you know about internet hookup culture? Are the potential pitfalls too great, or is there really a chance I could find what I’m looking for?

Plenty of young adults use dating and hookup sites to find casual sex. I bet many of your friends have. When they work, when they actually connect singles interested in casual flings, they work well. But bear in mind these two facts: First, men looking vastly outnumber women, so you’re unlikely to make connections. And second, there’s a risk of compulsively checking those sites every 5 minutes to see if anyone has responded to you, a possible black hole for your time. But some young men to find partners using Tinder and similar sites. I hope you’re one of them.
