Alongside EzHookups, most people in Durban also try the free tiers on OkCupid, Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and Facebook Dating. Our guides compare what each one actually allows before you pay:
Members across South Africa and beyond are working through the same questions. A few threads worth reading before you sign up:
You can search Durban, open a profile and send a message without paying, and no upgrade prompt appears halfway through a conversation.
Allow location access, or type Durban in manually, then set your radius, and results start inside Durban and only spread into South Africa when local activity runs out.
Nothing you send in a direct message is public, and profile photos are public, but conversations are not.
A recent photo and a bio that mentions something concrete about Durban is enough, and then send a short, specific first message rather than a one-word greeting.
Adult and casual dating both work in Durban, provided everyone is 18 or over, and state what you are looking for so the filters do the work.
