Best Hooking Up Subreddits in 2025
Dating apps got you burned out? Tired of swiping? Reddit's dating communities offer different energy.
r/Tinder (5.9M members) is where people share dating app screenshots, funny conversations, epic failures, and occasional success stories. You'll learn what profiles actually work and which openers fall flat. r/relationships (3.6M) gives advice on relationship problems. r/r4r (727K) connects Redditors based on interests and location. r/Needafriend (472K) focuses on platonic friendships first. r/GamerPals (173K) finds you gaming buddies—shared interests beat random matches.
Real talk: Reddit isn't primarily a dating platform. These communities work better for understanding dating dynamics, improving your approach, and making friends with shared interests that might lead somewhere. Direct hookup attempts usually fail. But learning what makes good profiles, understanding the other side's perspective, and connecting through genuine shared interests? That works. Just keep expectations realistic and be respectful.
