The Three best Apps to get You Laid

Tired of going to the club getting yourself wasted looking for someone to go home with and ending up alone in the taxi? Well technology has solved all that for you by giving you a way to search through databases of hundreds of people you may know or not know, nearby people and people matching your criteria for dates. Check out our three apps to get you laid or maybe to find you a date.

Tinder tindr Tinder is everyone’s go to app for meeting someone online. Like most apps it integrates with Facebook so you don’t have to actually go out of your way to build your profile. How the app works is pretty simple. You swipe right to “Like” someone and left to move on to the next option/person. Once someone you’ve liked likes you back you’re notified and prompted to send them a message in the messaging section. Until this point the only information shared with other Tinder users is your publicly available Facebook profile picture and first name. One of the apps best features is the moments section that allows you to take pictures of you and your match when you finally meet. Download the app here and get tindererering

Grindr grindr Grindr is basically a hook up app for gay/bi men. No one really says what it’s for however in our experience is essentially the easiest way to find out if any of your friends are gay/bi and find a nearby partner for…’yoga’. Grindr uses your phone’s inbuilt GPRS to find people who match your chosen criteria and allows you to message them and maybe link up for coffee, lunch, a movie or ‘yoga’. Grindr’s appeal is that it actually shows you who is nearest as opposed to giving you a ball park estimate of where a person is such as in Tinder. It’s greatest weakness is that the “send a picture” option is greatly misused. Our fake profile got nearly 7 dick pics in a single week. It feels like a meet up of flashers a lot of the time and even if you’re on there looking for sex, it can get quite uncomfortable getting spammed with phalluses most of the time.

Down

Down is a combination of both Grindr and Tinder although it doesn’t bother with any of the pretense of the other two. Down was formerly known as bang with friends an app whose name speaks for itself. It goes through your Facebook friends list and allows you to pick someone to have sex with or go on a date with. Down evidently was created by a group of people whose mentality matches that of #TeamMafisi. You log into the app you encounter a Tinder like interface , however, it’s slightly different. You swipe right to skip, up to indicate that you want to go on a date with the person highlighted or down to tell the app that you want to have sex with them. While Down is a stellar app, however, it fails. After fifteen minutes of random swiping you begin to notice that it’s not friends who have the app that appear but the entirety of your friends list whether they have the app or not. You’re literally digging into your Facebook friends list just looking for a quick shag. That’s pretty low. That’s like updating your status update with your name and phone number with the words “please sleep with me.” At least with the other apps you have the pretence of looking for a friend.
