What is the best way to get hookups locally?

Genuine question for the board, and I've tried to search first: best way to get hookups locally.

I don't trust app store ratings on hookups — they're gamed in both directions.

Concretely, for hookups, these are my criteria:

• How hookups treats locally once you stop paying
• What the locally side of hookups looks like in practice
• Whether anyone has tested locally properly on hookups
• What happens to your data if you delete a hookups account

Even a 'don't bother' on hookups is a useful answer.

Since we're comparing options around hookups, Rendate's free tier came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Someone recommended the Datebie community to me during my own search around hookups and it was better than I expected.

It's telling how many replies here about hookups contradict each other — that's the honest state of it.

Henry Moore, that's roughly where I landed on hookups too. Set a deadline when you try hookups, or it becomes a scrolling habit rather than an actual search.

Anything promising instant matches around hookups is worth treating with suspicion.

the Turndate free tier is what I ended up using while working through hookups — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

Disagree with Henry Moore slightly here on hookups. I'll be the dissenting voice: my experience with hookups was the opposite of what's being described here.

Someone will probably mention Datebound.online before this thread is done.
