Apps to Get Hooked Up! Written By | Francesca Smart There are a variety of apps and websites to assist you in finding love… even if just for a night. Here are some GirlGI approved ways to meet people online and abroad with a few anecdotes from GGI escapades. 1 Best for Dating | OkCupid 2 Best for Hookups | Badoo 3 Best for Hookups while travelling | Tinder From my experience, the quality of people on this site is much higher (both in looks and career) and it’s not an app that screams ‘I want to f#ck’ like many other dating apps out there. It gives you a peace of mind that people who contact you via the app actually want to get to know you. In Europe this app is cray! I actually met my last love on this app. It takes a different approach to meeting people though and shows you other users that have been in the same places as you such as your favourite bar, restaurant or music venue. This is a widely used app, and is thus great for traveling. I’ve dupped Tinder the ‘I’d tap that...’ app. When I see a picture on Tinder with the outline of an X and a heart below, I feel like I’m being asked, ‘would you have sex with this person?’ However, unlike apps like Skout (below), you login through Facebook, so you’re less likely to see outdated images and you can see if you have any mutual FB friends.
