INTRODUCTION:
You know how some dating forums are just okay and others are so great that the second you join you know your life is about to change for the better? Well, the latter is exactly what HipForums.com is like! I'm not trying to be overly dramatic or anything, I'm just speaking from the heart. And in my experience with lesbian dating forums (and I've tried a lot, trust me!), there's always something a little bit wrong with a site or something that you wish you could improve. Well, HipForums.com is pretty close to perfect! Which is why I gave it a five out of five.
Now, I want to be honest: a lot of my strong feelings about this dating forum are based on a lot of personal feelings. I had my first lesbian hookup from this site and also my first girlfriend! And I learned a lot about being a lesbian and bi from this site too. So my review may not totally be subjective but I try to also get into the basic features of the site so you can see how great it is from a more technical perspective. That way you can have both a personal review one one that is more subjective. But across the board you'll find that HipForums.com is the creme de la creme of lesbian dating forums. I'll be diving into more about the website, go over the features, and touch on the pros and cons.
Read on to get to the full review!
ABOUT:
As far as lesbian and bi dating forums go, HipForums.com is a fairly new site. Now, that's not to say that it's small or not very good. In fact, it being new is one of the reasons why I like it so much. A lot of the sites that have been around for ages can sometimes feel a bit dated - and not just in the way the forum actually works. What I am talking about is the members. I'm fairly young myself and always looking to connect with other lesbians and bi women my own age. I fin dI can more easily connect with younger women on the newer lesbian dating forums. Plus the newer forums tend to be more open to different kinds of sexual exploration and inclusivity. And even though the site is newer, you don't have to worry about members! HipForums.com is also one of the fastest growing lesbian dating forums around so you'll never have to worry about getting stuck talking to the same pool over and over again!
The site itself is pretty basic looking. The main forums are a free for all, where you can post a topic about anything and everything. It can be a little manic to browse though at first but that is where the great search feature comes in handy. You can search the forums for any keywords you can to find specific posts! The site also hosts a media section and a blog section for members. So if you are a member you can upload your own media, like photos and videos, and also keep a blog. It is a great way to put yourself out there for other members to get to know you!
