What is the Dating scene like in Orlando?
I’m a 42-year-old recently divorced man. I have visited Orlando many times in the past. On all of those occasions, I had done so in the role of a father. I would travel with my two kids and my then wife. Obviously, those trips were entirely family-oriented. This upcoming trip that I will be taking to Orlando will be the first one that I will take alone. This is why I’m curious about what the so-called “hookup” scene is like in Orlando for a middle-aged divorced man such as myself? Is it even possible to hookup in such a family vacation destination?
Your doubt about the hookup scene in Orlando is understandable. After all, when it comes to U.S. vacation destinations, Las Vegas is on one end of the spectrum and Orlando in the other. At least by stereotype and reputation, one is “Sin City” and the other one is “Family Fun City.”
The reality, however, is that Orlando — at least the underlying adult-oriented fiber of its local population and of single visitors such as yourself — has its wild side. It is important to keep in mind that Orlando is not all about tourism. Sure, it is a very important part of its economy, but it is also home to other businesses and industries. Its metropolitan area has 2.3 million residents. One-quarter of Orlando residents under the age of 35 are still single. All of these things add up to Orlando having a vibrant and wild casual encounter scene.
The main thing to know about hooking up in Orlando is that it is best to rely on the internet instead of bars or clubs to meet locals for casual fun. By using online hookup sites you will stand a very good chance of hooking up with a local just as much as hooking up with another out-of-towner. Part of the reason for this is that there are too many places in Orlando to meet people. Some places are more suited to meet and pick up locals others to do the same with tourists and others to just hang out and not pick up anyone at all. If you tried to determine for yourself which place is “the spot” to pick up hot women in Orlando, you will have “hit and miss” results. This is why online hookup platforms, especially those favored by the locals, are so effective at helping you find a casual sexual encounter in Orlando.
