It's a shame the time in your life when you're supposed to be hooking up with a lot of women is also a time when you're most likely to be broke.
Fortunately, there are many options to get laid when you're broke.
Some of them include using online dating, cold approach, or finding suitable cheap bars to meet them.
You can invite them over with a cheap bottle of wine, hit up the beach, or check out a local cheap comedy club.
This guide will cover more examples and all the steps to take from setting up the dates to moving things to the bedroom.
Getting Laid Without Money
Assuming you have great pictures to use, online dating will likely be your best option.
You can set it all up and plan dates without wasting time or spending gas money getting anywhere.
The best part is the endless amount of women, so it's not a big deal if one date doesn't work out. Also, although most guys aren't willing to do it, dropping your standards a bit on dating apps can practically guarantee you'll have success.
Finally, if you have solid pictures and can screen a bit, you can skip those who aren't interested only in sex. This way, you don't have to worry about multiple date ideas.
Cold Approach
It may not be the easiest way since it's pretty challenging.
However, if you have experience cold approaching, it can be a fantastic option for meeting women without spending any money.

Parties
Finding a good party right when you're wanting to get laid may not be easy unless you're a college student. If you do find one, meeting someone you hit it off with isn't guaranteed.
I know not everyone is confident enough to make a move and hook up with someone the same night they meet them.
Still, you could get a number or find a new social circle that will have other opportunities in the future.
Bars and Clubs
While likely requiring at least some money to be spent, bars/clubs can be a decent option for getting laid when you're broke.
All bars and clubs will have some presence online, offering different discounts or promotions. Some of the less popular spots may have favorable deals for drinks or cover to keep the price down.
You can keep it relatively cheap if you pre-drink (or don't drink much). The downside is there's not a high chance you'll always meet someone, and traveling to or from your/her place may be costly.
Work Circle
This can certainly be a good choice as you likely already know each other well and may be able to skip spending money going out.
Work events are also decent options for getting to know someone you like better.
You'll need to be able to tread the waters carefully, though. It may not be worth having a one-night fling with someone you'll continue seeing everyday.

Social Circle
I generally avoid social circles for hookups, as it can be awkward when someone wants something more.
However, that's not always going to be the case. If you already spend a lot of time around her, she may be making it clear she just wants to fool around anyway.
Date Ideas that Don't Cost Money
It's important to note that most of these options below better fit someone interested in something more than having a one-night stand. While it can be fine to use them either way, having at least some cash to spend on dates is ideal.
We'll get to that in the following sections.
First- if it's someone you know well and you've been chatting with for a while, you could just invite her over through text.
However, since you probably just met her or got her number, we'll go over some date ideas that don't cost any money.
Doing something fun at your place
For some, it will be too early to go to your place on the first or second date. However, having a more typical date at your place may help the idea seem more inviting.
Something like a board game or making a pizza together. At the very least, this may be worth trying on the second date.
Walks or Hikes
Super easy option. Good if you're inexperienced on dates and intimidated by the thought of staring down each other; not always knowing what to say.
Another option is hitting up a local beach or lake.
Low-Cost Date Ideas
Taking advantage of low-cost date ideas is likely your best bet. Everything included shouldn't cost more than $40 for the both of you.
In most cases, it's good to at least offer to pay for her if you're able.
- Coffee (or cat café if you're into that)
- Mini-golf
- Bowling
- Local theater or comedy show
- Street fairs or carnivals
- Drinks (go during happy hour)
Second and Third Date Ideas
My go-to routine is always inviting her over to "hangout" on the third (or sometimes fourth) date.
However, you can try this on the second date if money is tight. Otherwise, have the second be more low-key. So if you did something more eventful like a show/bowling the first time, go with either drinks or coffee next.
Inviting her over should be simple: just ask if she wants to hang out or watch a movie later.
Grab a cheap pizza or a bottle of wine to share too if you have any money to spare.
Of course, you will still have to buy condoms...
