Shrewsbury Hookups: Shrewsbury Women Want to Meet

Skip the dinner date: casual sex in Shrewsbury, with Wales nine miles to the west.

Shrewsbury keeps it casual inside a bend of the Severn

The River Severn, the longest in the UK, loops right round the middle of Shrewsbury, and the centre inside the bend still follows a largely undisturbed medieval street plan. More than 660 buildings are listed, many of them timber-framed from the 15th and 16th centuries, and the town climbs a hill that tops out at about 246 feet. A red sandstone castle and an abbey were founded here in 1074 and 1083 by a Norman earl. In the Middle Ages it was a centre of the wool trade, and later the Severn and the canals carried its goods across England.

Today it's the county town of Shropshire, with around 77,000 people, big enough to meet someone who doesn't drink in your local. If you typed dating in Shrewsbury to find this page, here is the blunter version: HookUps is for adults who want casual sex with no strings, and who'd rather skip three polite dinners to get there.

Seven in ten near Shrewsbury are under 35

Seven in ten members are under 35, shared out between the 18 to 24s and the 25 to 34s at roughly a third apiece. The 35 to 44 band is thin at under one in ten, and one in five is 45 or older.

Women are about one in five of the circle, so it pays to put some effort into your photos and into an opening line that isn't just hi.

Wem for a weeknight, Welshpool for another country

A first drink a few miles out takes the pressure off both of you. Wem is the nearest town with a page of its own, ten miles off and close enough for a weeknight drink that stays a drink. Oswestry and Welshpool are about sixteen and seventeen miles out. Wales starts nine miles west of Shrewsbury, so a match in Welshpool puts a whole country between your first drink and your neighbours.

Pick a spot with other people about, tell a mate who you're meeting and arrange your own way home, so that leaving early stays your call. Our hookup safety tips cover what comes after.
