Would like some grounded input on the top apps to find sex in a new city.

Everything hinges on hit rate as far as I'm concerned.

Concrete examples around the top apps welcome, vague reassurance less so.

I kept notes for a month, and what stood out about the top apps was how quickly the pattern set in.

The answer changes depending on what you want out of the top apps.

This overstates the problem with the top apps, I think.

Worth separating two things here — the top apps and what people expect from it.

What I ended up doing about hit rate:

I ran both at once, and what stood out about the top apps was how quickly the pattern set in.

Worth adding Ezhookups to whatever shortlist you are building around the top apps.
