What casual dating looks like on HookUs
Choose “Something casual” or “Dating & vibes” as your intent and you will find people who chose the same. If it grows into more, there is an “Open to relationship” intent for that too. Nobody is forced into a box, and nobody has to explain themselves in a bio.
Vibes sit next to intents: drinks, foodie, fitness, music, gaming, beach, creative, night owl and more. Match on lifestyle, not just photos.
