I am curious what are the best dating sites for you in 2026? I am interested in both: casual dating and serious relationships. In terms of casual dating Meetups really worked well, I successfully found a few friends with benefits there. What about serious relationships? What do you guys use apart from Tinder/Bumble/Hinge?

Just curious, what are the best places/apps to find hookups for you?

I am from US, got divorced 2 years ago and don't want anything serious at the moment. And at the same time I don't want to lie and play around. So my main point is find something casual, but respectful in both ways. I've tried different ways and made a top 5 for myself.

There are:

1. Meetups - the best place to find fast hookups with the same minded people

2. Tinder - a lot of weird profiles, but sometimes you can find something interesting

3. Bars - if I get tipsy, it is quite easy for me to approach girls.

4. Gym - girls without headphones are quite easy to talk to by asking her something related to sport or healthy food

5. Events/festivals - people are always open to any casual fun

What are the best ways for you?
