Dating in Los Angeles - Is It as Wild as People Say in LA??

[Lenny]

So I’ve been in LA for about 2 months now and dating here is... different. Tons of people, but it feels like everyone’s flaky or too busy. Is there a trick to actually meeting someone in this city?

LA dating has a reputation for being chaotic - and yeah, it kind of is. But it’s not impossible if you know where to look and how to present yourself:

Best Ways to Date in Los Angeles (2025):

• Tinder (with filters) – LA is overloaded with users - you can even try this app if you just want casual sex, so filtering your interests and distance helps a lot. Swipe in bursts during peak hours (8 PM to midnight).
• Feeld – A ton of creative - you can get a lot more discount with this link, open-minded people use it here. Great for threesomes, kink, or casual fun with couples and individuals.
• Hinge – Works surprisingly well if you’re into artsy or career-focused matches. Just expect longer convos before meeting.
• IRL events (bars, comedy shows, day parties) – Real-life meetups are huge in LA. Try places like Bar Flores, The Friend, or outdoor events in Silver Lake or Venice.
• Instagram – Not a joke. DMs often lead to dates here if your profile is well-curated and you interact with local event pages or scene people.

If you’re more into casual flings, Feeld and Reddit threads like r/DirtyR4RLosAngeles can be surprisingly real. Just message with clarity and style.

Your vibe matters more than your stats. LA is image-heavy, so your pics, aesthetic, and confidence count more than bios.
