What are the pros and cons of hookups versus conventional dating?

[Unit1]

Pro:
A beautiful woman WILL give you a mesmerizing time AND a happy ending. No mind games, no maybes, no flaking out and no being used for free meals.

Con:
It'll only last for as long as you have paid their service.

I LOVE PROSTITUTES!

-It can be a great way to let off steam and to scratch an itch.
- There's no emotions and no worry for the other company, thus there's no need to continue with the same guy (or girl) again.
- You can learn things about people and yourself that would otherwise take many dates/ time together to learn in a single night.

- There is nothing there, they don't care about you as a person, often things are not discussed like what's okay and not okay in bed.
- There's no mutual care about helping each other to the finish line, though there's more expectation on the blokes side of needing to finish.
- It's a lot less safer as there's more risk to sexually transmitted diseases
- Often it leads to dissatisfaction in life as it kinda feels like you're cheating yourself, not all experiences are the same level of satisfaction so if you come across exceptionally good sex it's still the one night and its not likely to happen just like that again

Pros- no drama. New people are exciting. Can dump m fast if u don't like them. No feelings for them. Exciting to fuck new people for the first time show off your talents. Freedom to come n go.

Cons- some people can't differentiate lust from love. Gota trust strangers not to have std/sti. Gets boring. Gets lonely.

Regular dating takes time which many people don't want to put in for that. Takes emotions and many people are torn up from past relationships. Takes work and many people don't want to work on their relationships hard enough to keep them.

Hookups are just fun and exciting but you’re also taking a high risk of getting a STD’s where conventional dating allows you to really get to know someone and trust them and get comfortable with them so in the long run sex is better with someone you value and feel comfortable with over having sex with someone that probably had sex with thins of other partners

Hookups have no pros for me. As soon as the orgasm ends, someone is trying to make an excuse to vanish.

pros to hookups ans you don't have to be heartbroken when they decide to end things. con is that you lack that intimacy that having sex with someone you care about brings which makes sex soooooo much better

[Anonymous]

The pros of a Hook-up allow a person to have a variety of different sex partners, it's fun, there is less stress than a serious relationship.

The cons however involve safety and sexual health, it's harder to find a traditional relationship the longer you've been having casual sex, it can be confusing for some people because they may not be sure if you're exclusively dating one another or seeing other people etc...

Sometimes it’s nice just to get what you need from each other. No attachments. No expectations. I did that for a while after my breakup. But you get to a point ( at least for me) where you miss having someone. Someone who cares about you. Someone to cuddle and laugh with. Make plans with. It’s nice to find hookups but at the end of the day. That’s all it is. And your still alone. Maybe it’s different for guys. Or maybe it’s just different for me. I’d rather have someone than to use someone.

There is difference between relationship and random sex with girls from clubs you even don't know their names. You need commitment in relationship as partner while random sex is situational and commitments isn't necessary.
Dating and hookups, both are something between just with different level of commitment and different approach.

Pros-Sexual needs are met of both/either party.

Cons-Extremely unhealthy for the mind and psyche.

Might end up kissing a frog. But man you might end up kissing your prince having a baby with him and getting married. Living joyfully ever after!

[JosyJosy]

Pros, no feelings little to no drama, no get to know eachother process
Cons, maybe one catches feelings and then it dies cause the other isn't interested in dating

[WesBrewer]

In a hookup you get sex without any real attachments, whereas with dating you get a friend you spend time with.

Hook-up: short term relationship only for sex
Love : long term process
Both are landing on sex only 😀

[lovedejj_xo]

We have sex and you leave me alone. A Relationship is rewarding and long lasting plus you can get a dog together ☺️

[TacosRAwesome]

You get laid and they don't get to discover how messed up you are.

[AnthonyJ01]

Hookups are just to take care of the internal monsters.
Although it could be like what I was approached with. A younger woman "24" wants to fill her bucket list. Sex with an older man. I see nothing wrong with the occasional hookup.

[fxllenone]

The women that you come across in the hookup scene tend to be more sexually submissive, which is hot. While other women tend to be more emotionally submissive. So, both worlds have their benefits, I guess. Date one and fuck the other.

Hookups: you get to see the awesome part of someone and keep wanting it afterwards


Dating: you see their flaws and sometimes still want them

[rachel776]

i can survive on hookups for a long time, no hassles, not having to worry about keeping a boyfriend happy all the time, i can go about my business

[boxcarjoe]

They won't bug the shit out of you. They won't blow up your phone. They won't get mad at you for doing somthing for 20 minutes.

[Itsroxxie]

Hookups have a short term reward
Dating has a long term reward with added risks

[jl25sc]

One is guaranteed in sex and the other isn't until for a while at least

[Anonymous]

No expectations of fulfilling their emotional needs.
