Affair Hookup Sites
- NoStrings.com Review – NoStrings.com caters to those seeking discreet no strings encounters. Whether you’re married & looking for an affair, or simply looking for some discreet NSA fun, this hookup site ranks at the top of our list. As a result, you will dramatically increase your chances of success. With a tagline of “Because every lasting marriage needs an affair”, it target a certain type of woman that is looking for now!
- Ashley Madison Review – Ashley Madison has over 60 million members in multiple countries. This niche hookup site caters exclusively to married women seeking affairs. In case you did not know. this hookup site became incredibly popular in the summer of 2015 when it got hacked. So, you can argue that it got popular for the wrong reasons. Nevertheless, men & women started joining. The Ashley Madison hack made international news with the salacious nature of the topic
- Cougar Life Review – CougarLife.com caters to women over 40 years old that are looking to meet partners of all ages. From a guy’s perspective, the site allows you to focus on finding a cougar in your area for hookups. This hookup site is popular in Canada, and in the US. The biggest downfall is the amount of women to men is not high in certain cities.
Legit Hookup Sites
When it comes to legit hookup sites, regardless of how well the site is marketed, being able to meet real men & women in REAL LIFE is the ultimate goal. In other words, it’s all about getting action! That’s the true job of a hookup site If there’s 5,000 guys for every woman on the site, how can that be a legit hookup site?
Some of the best online hookup sites are the ones that aren’t super popular. Let us take a look at Tinder for instance. You really don’t hear about how many old profiles are being shown. Therefore, while you might be swiping right like crazy, you are getting such a small response rate. This is a huge issue with some of the online hookup sites in the popular sense. There’s a stigma, a stigma in which chases away many women. These same women would prefer an online hookup sites that speaks to them, not just to the guys.
Let’s not forget, whether you’re interested in an affair hookup site like NoStrings or cougar hookup site like Cougar Life, you are dealing with adult hookup sites that speak to a certain niche. If you know, or find yourself interested in a particular niches, those are the types of hookup sites you should really be after.
Free Dating Sites
There’s this notion that if you signup to a free dating site, you’ll start hooking up in no time. Thing is, that just isn’t true. Yes, you might get lucky on Tinder every once and a while, but the hoops you have to jump through to not spend a couple dollars just isn’t work it.
When it comes to hookup sites, these dating sites aren’t in business to be a free dating sites. The sites goal, is to get you to pay to be a member – which by the way, dramatically increases you chances on the hookup site.
Affair Hookup Sites
When it comes to affair hookup sites, one has to be VERY careful! The last thing you want to do, ever, is get caught. You have way too much to lose by choosing the wrong affair hookup site. To combat this, you need to look for 2 important areas:
- Communication – don’t pretend to be single. That will only get her upset and cause huge blow back onto you. Instead, be up front from day 1. You will get less responses, sure, but the ones you get will be of high quality without the blowback
- Affair Sites Matter – Don’t go on Tinder trying to get an affair. There are tons of affair hookup sites, like this nostrings.com review, that cater to the discreet dating world.

Let me begin by saying that I really, really wanted to like this series. It's exciting that Netflix is opening up the world to viewers with series in Spanish, German, French, Italian, and whatever other languages they have on their menu. I love the fact that I can watch a French series in French and with French subtitles as I still have a lot to learn in that language, to put it mildly. But.
But why start out the series with such a tired gag of being late? They ripped off Love Actually in the trailer and now the rip off the gag from Four Weddings (it wasn't very funny in the film, either). Sex and the City may have been a huge success (no thanks to me) but it wasn't funny, ever.
With this said, I went out to find something about the show that I like. The French is a goldmine of sex talk and petite vulgarities. I will stick with it, all in the name of mastering this language that I will never, ever master. Madame Porc is cute and Charlotte is hot as can be.
Falling down isn't funny. Absurd, uncomfortable situations aren't funny. Stupid faces aren't funny. I Love Lucy wasn't funny 60 years ago; don't imitate that show.
The lead actress simply cannot pull off comedy. None of them were really good.

bshaef18 December 2018
Another great Netflix foreign series. Some day when I get really brave, i'll turn off the CC translator and try to understand the French, even though I don't speak much French, living in Tejas. The Hookup Plan was just about perfect. The writers and directors and, of course the actors, earned A+'s from me. Now I have to learn how to speak Spanish, French, Danish and probably some more that I don't remember now. Thank you Netflix for adding another dimension to my educational pursuits.

An invigorating seriesPermalink
FrenchEddieFelson29 July 2019
Elsa (Zita Hanrot) has just left her darling after discovering he has an affair. When she also uncovers that they will soon be married, it is then total depression. She completely loses her self-confidence and becomes a real wreck. Her two best friends are Émilie (Joséphine Draï) who is a stifling and irritating woman and Charlotte (Sabrina Ouazani) who is a hot and sexy woman despite her voice of Mike Tyson. These two friends will have the idea as wacky as ludicrous to hire Jules, a handsome man (Marc Ruchmann) who will play the role of a male prostitute (this is actually his everyday job) without Elsa being aware of the trickery, so that she may regain confidence in herself. And what was to happen ... will happen!
It's invigorating and well played, especially with Zita Hanrot who is excellent, as usual. If you liked her in this role as depressive as irresistible, I recommend you one of her first films Fatima (2015) and one of her last La vie scolaire (2019) that I already saw early July, in preview. In addition, Paris is well highlighted, between the Hôtel de ville and the Île Saint-Louis.
As a synthesis, 6/7 of 10

Just started season 2. DisappointingPermalink
LucyBonette14 October 2019
Season 2 is starting out with a very unrealistic story and I'm sure it will only get worse from here, but I'm afraid they've lost me. I'll consider the season 1 finale as the end of the story. That works better I think.

Do not watch it in EnglishPermalink
myotherpetisdog12 October 2019
I watched it in original French, with English subtitles. It makes HUGE difference in perception.Generations B and X would hate it, Generation Y might like it. Generation Z would easily get hooked.The way it starts, Episode 1, is a put off. But if you stick, it gets better. Season 1 was much better than Season 2-lots of silliness that I didn't like. Season 1-7 stars, Season 2-5 stars.Acting was great, as expected from French Cinema. Sabrina Ouazani' voice is quite unique. Overall it is entertaining, humor is sharp and I don't agree with those who say it is full of cliches.

Despite ending with a couple of questionable episodes, I enjoyed season one well enough. Unfortunately, episode one of season 2 was so bad, I quit watching altogether... very disappointed.

Excellent, funny, movingPermalink
istara24 January 2019
This is a really lovely, unusual series with a great cast. Elsa is dumped by her (awful) boyfriend who is immediately engaged to someone else. Elsa's friends set her up with a sexy male prostitute. He falls genuinely in love with her and she with him... then she finds out his profession. At the same time all her friend's lives and relationships are in upheaval.
What really elevates this is that both the main characters are really likeable. You want a happy outcome for them.
It's shot in Paris and looks beautiful, and is a refreshing change from the usual cities (eg New York) that this kind of series tends to be set in.
Highly recommended. It's also best if you can watch the French version ('Plan Coeur' on Netflix) with English subtitles.

Delightful French Rom-ComPermalink
SalsaBoy201020 December 2018
Romantic comedies are not supposed to be 'realistic'. It's the genre. In Pretty Girl, Richard Gere, an uber-rich businessman, falls in love with a prostitute and they end up together. Realistic? Hardly. But everyone wants love to conquer all (and in the Rom Com genre, it does). One of the reviewers here lamented the depiction of Elsa, the female lead, as unlikable and awkward. In spite of her quirks, put-offs, and faux pas, we love her anyway and want her to succeed. That's the genre. Rom Coms are not meant to reinvent the wheel or cover new territory. If we're lucky, they are munchable mind-candy. If we're not, they are an annoying waste of time (we're talking about you, Jennifer Lopez). Most Rom Coms are terrible, sold by the weight of their leads. Throw Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks together (You Got Mail) and as terrible as the script may be, people will watch and extract what little blood can be squeezed from that anemic turnip.
Plan Coeur was delightful. It's nice to have something light and that doesn't require a huge commitment (there are eight (8) twenty-five minute episodes instead of 10-12 one-hour episodes) to invest for the ride. Yes, the story is implausible. Of course, it would never happen in real life, and if it did, everyone would be horrified and there would be no chance of redemption for any of the characters. Real life is not a genre. Romantic comedy is.
There is something honest about genre pieces in foreign languages and foreign settings. It isn't over the top. The characters are more subtle than they otherwise would be in their black-and-white counterparts in American cinema and television. Despite the exaggerated characters, the dialogue and the personalities ring more authentic than, say, 97% of the characters on Californication (or name your US-based Rom Com), even if the scenarios are not grounded in the same. I appreciate the stripped-down versions. Less is phoned-in, and more of the success of the show is based upon the story and the acting instead of the plot. In American Rom Coms, the scenarios often become so exaggerated to compensate for the sheer lack of thought, character development, or structure. This was a show that took its time to tell a simple story about a man and a woman meeting and falling in love under unlikely (improbable/ impossible) circumstances. But, for what it is, it works. I wish there would be more shows like Plan Coeur - fun, easy, endearing, mindless, but developed enough to be worth the while. While I would like to see more of this - in tone and levity - I would understand if there is not a second season. Within the Rom Com genre, there probably isn't anywhere for this story to evolve, unless subsequent seasons became more Sit Com instead of Rom Com.
Zita Hanrot, the actress who plays Elsa, is lovely for the part. Her naivete, honesty, and awkwardness translate without telegraphing. It's a fine line that she walks beautifully without overplaying. I hope to see more of her in the future.
Recommended.

1st season was superb, 2nd not so muchPermalink
Boxer_00725 December 2018
I initially gave 9 stars as SEASON 1 of The Hook Up Plan was a pleasant surprise. Witty, intelligent, and enjoyable. Excellent acting and far more believable than your typical romantic-comedy type TV show. Characters were multidimensional, episodes were coherent, soundtrack was good, and the Parisian scenery is always a delight to look at. The fact that I laughed out loud several times while watching a French series with English subtitles means the humor translates very well. Also, this might be a bit vapid - but the actors were all quite attractive in somewhat unconventional ways which gives this show that extra boost in my opinion.
Fast forward to Season 2 and I was left rather disappointed, hence my new review and lower rating. Lots of irrational, borderline bizarre behavior among the characters made the show loose a lot of its realistic and relatable appeal. Everything felt rushed, incoherent, and definitely lacked the original humor and cinematic creativity from the first season. It was still alright to watch but unfortunately not as entertaining or memorable as the first season.

What did you expect?Permalink
mrmatthewadams3 May 2020
It's a French TV series. If it's not crap in the first five minutes then don't give up, it will be crap pretty soon after. Thankfully this one was crap as soon as it started so not too much time was wasted. In about thirty or forty years, when French TV and cinema has caught up with the rest of the civilised world we may be able to sit through more than one minute or one episode. Until then.... good luck!

This show elevates a simple premise with strong writing and acting. The characters are relatable and three-dimensional, and it's genuinely funny. The Paris setting also adds to the charm. Looking forward to season 2.

janewarren226 April 2021
This is the best thing I've watched in a long time!! So much more than a romcom. The characters are so well written not just comedic, I laughed, cried and wanted to be in the gang! The lockdown episode deserves a prize, the music is great what more can I say! Plus plus.

why there had to be a second season?Permalink
burhan-tursoy19 October 2019
The term 'leave at the top' should be written on the walls of producers of every succesful tv series or movies...the first season was cheerful, it had a story to tell... and the end was ... whatever your imagination liked it to be...
But they had to make another season.... had to make up forced storylines.... and spoil the fun.... i watched the second season out of respect for the first... but u don't need to...

Fun and entertaining!Permalink
msbecca0013 December 2018
This was a fun, heartfelt and cute story about friendship, trust and unconventional love. One thing I appreciated was that the side characters weren't just empty shells, whose only purpose is for the main characters to have someone to rant to. No, they had their own smaller plots, with their own problems and quirks.Honestly, my biggest problems with it were the tropes and the clichés, but hey it's a rom-com series so what else can you expect? Also, the main character Elsa is a little bit annoying but it doesn't matter really because the writing, acting and storyline is very good. It kept me hooked all the way through! I'm not a person who binge-watches shows (because I have a very short attention span) but I finished Plan Coeur in 1 day! I definitely recommend it, it's a very cute, entertaining and fun show.

katherine-7314416 January 2019
How Elsa acts is exactly the reason why she doesn't have a boyfriend. She is an adult but still act like a kid?? even teens would consider her awkward and cringy. I have absolutely no idea why that dude would like her and I totally understand why her ex dumped her.Speaking of the plot, it is very cliche and everything is predictable.This whole drama is unrealistic.

I had a lot of fun watching this series because I lived in France a few years.France has another kind of humour. This is fun, and I perfectly understand that some americans just don't get it. I liked it much. Can't wait for season 2.Is just entertainment.
