Finding a Hook Up: Where People Look Now
Why the search has moved to the phone, and what the old way still has going for it.
The search has moved to the screen
Ask the blog where to find a hook up and this topic’s answer is the phone in your hand.
The reasoning is plain. Busy weeks leave little room for the social events where people used to run into each other, and the pandemic nudged the holdouts online. You can also browse at any hour, on whichever device is nearest. The post’s view is that a bigger crowd online means more choice than waiting for the right person to wander in.
It isn’t the only view on the blog. The bar post backs the old method and calls it a numbers game: talk to everyone, from the person beside you at the bar to whoever you pass on the way to the snacks. Its big plus over online is that a dud costs you seconds, not a whole evening. Either way, the first step is the same: say hello.
