I am in a big city for work for 5 more weeks and am using dating apps. Am I going to have better luck saying I am here temporarily for work or just not saying anything?

No reason no to be upfront. It's going to come up in convo, and it makes clear you're looking to meet fast.

Are you new to lying or is it a life-long habit? Come on, what do you think the ladies WANT to hear.

Honesty is the best policy, but probably not for what you're wanting.

It's fine. It's a lot easier.


"I'm visiting Flagstaff for the weekend and would like to meet someone for a tour of breweries, live music venues, and off the beaten path cool spots"


Things like that work just fine for people open to those things.

What does it matter? If its 10%, it's 10%. If less, its less. You only need one a night, generally.


Since it only makes sense to try to talk to and meet women that are open to it, its the only way to go.


I mean, unless you're ok with pretending you're interested in really dating while trying to get laid while on a trip which is A) really damn scuzzy, and B) unnecessary since there are plenty of people up for a fun night and are honest about it

The above post looks like a good idea. You should try it OP. You'd be surprised at how many women may be just looking to do a few activities, something different, no pressure or strings attached.

I was on an overseas trip for 2 weeks last month. I published a similar ad on the local dating site and met up with 2 women (i'm a gay woman btw). I always met in public places, did not press for anything hookup-like, we hung out and I had a great time. I actually went to one of the women's home, met her family and had dinner with them lol. I still message with both of them, and now have networked with a couple of people I can hang out with the next time I visit. I'm no longer a stranger there. Good luck OP
