Essentially, it’s where horny people post what they want in terms of sex

Instead, it plasters all potential discreet hookups that meet your criteria (gender, age, and current location) on the main (and, indeed, only page):

Within a minute of creating my profile, I was confronted by a wealth of local singles and couples who were looking for the same thing I was. There was absolutely nothing complicated about the app. All I had to do was scroll up and down to find more horny girls who were waiting for someone to message them.

And that’s exactly what I did. I scrolled up and down and, mindful that my profile would self-destruct in 55 minutes already, I started messaging girls who caught my eye. I was naturally drawn to girls who included a profile picture of themselves (many girls choose to remain anonymous), as well as those who added a couple of lines to their “bio”. Like this:

I also found that most users were aged between 25 and 35. As well as singles, there were also couples using the site, as well as women who were married and looking for an affair. Nothing seemed to be out of bounds, with some other users explicitly stating exactly what they were looking for.

At the same time, most users also seemed to be very respectful of others and demanded that equal respect was shown to them. To that end, several women stated that they didn’t want to see “dick pics” without consent.

Overall, I had an okay experience using Pure. I didn’t get inundated with spam, the straightforward design was very pleasing and I thought the price was reasonable.

I fired chatstep off a lot of messages but got a few replies, and even when I did get chatting to a woman, it didn’t go anywhere. Just because Pure is for flings, it doesn’t mean it’s any easier to land a hookup.

My advice when using Pure is to definitely be flirty, confident, and sexy, and to get straight to the point. There’s no time for small talk. But you’ll also need a good profile pic and a good ad to stand out. Otherwise, you could easily get lost amidst all the profiles. And when you’ve got just 60 minutes to set up a meeting with someone, that’s not exactly a good thing.

Because remember: Everyone else only has 60 minutes too. And they won’t waste their time on someone they’re not attracted to.

Hook-up apps are always fraught with a little bit of risk because you never quite know how many fake profiles you’re going to come across.

The only time you’ll leave this homepage is whenever you click the ‘message’ icon, or whenever you want to amend your ad (the ad icon is located to the top right of your screen).

AFF is definitely more feature-rich than Pure, and it comes with plenty of things for you to do while you’re waiting for a reply. It’s more than a mere hookup site – it’s also a full-on community where you can even make new friends. In my opinion, AFF is more reliable than Pure, it’s heavier in terms of traffic, and whilst the site design is basic and dated, it’s still a lot easier to find what you’re looking for. Read in-depth review.

However, I also found it surprisingly hard to land a hookup within the 60-minute timeframe

Then, Pure will ask if it can have access to your location settings (you need to say ‘yes’ for the app to work). Once that’s done, it’s time to upload a photo. This step isn’t mandatory, however, and a fair number of users choose to remain anonymous. You can remain anonymous, too – it’s entirely up to you. However, I highly recommend that you upload a pic, as it’s one of the only ways you’ll stand out.

Design & Interface Usability of Pure

On the other hand, guys might feel as though they’re getting a raw deal because, whilst they have to use the app and take it seriously because they’re paying good money for it, the women they message might be taking a much more relaxed approach, simply because they’re not shelling out cash for it.

In a matter of minutes, my account was live and I was taken to the main page of Pure, which doubles up as the ‘search’ feature. Of course, Pure doesn’t have a search feature of the kind you commonly see on other dating sites, nor does it use the same ‘profile queue’ concept of Tinder.
