Can anybody help with the the translation of "hook-up" here?
In this modern age of dating, it is clear the game has definitely changed. After taking an in-depth look at the etiquette of singles based on a study of more than 5,000 single Americans, some of the researchers at XXX have found that, while some traditional dating do’s and don’ts still exist, the “golden rules” aren’t what they used to be. Single Americans today are challenging gender and age stereotypes and adopting new dating. From texting to friending dates on Facebook, we’ve got the ***hook-up on ***the fundamentals of dating.
Thanks in advance!

El artículo cambia el sentido de 'hook-up'. ...tenemos , ofrecemos, poseemos el enganche, (la esencia), lo todo relacionado con los fundamentos del encuentro, conección.... o algo similar. Suerte.

lo que mas atrae, lo que engancha
en mi opinión es un juego de palabras, y combina la acepción de hooked up referente a involucrarse con alguien de forma sexual o romántica. con lo que estas nuevas tendencias de ligar vía facebook etc enganchan actualmente. Espero que te ayude.

Reference:
sentido de "hook-up"
Es un juego de palabras. El sentido implícito de "hook-up" es "ligue" (así se llama en España): una relación romántica y/o sexual, normalmente pasajera. El sentido primario de "have the hook-up on" es:
"a connection for merchandise. Especially used for illegal merchandise.
Want beer? I've got the hook-up.
I got the hook-up on that cell phone you wanted."
http://onlineslangdictionary.com/meaning-of/hook-up
La idea es "tenemos todo lo que necesitas saber", "podemos proporcionarte los trucos que todo el mundo quiere saber". O sea, podemos ayudarte a conseguir aquello que, aunque no sea ilegal en este caso, es difícil de obtener.

Gracias, Toni. He intentado inventar algo con "ligarse", pero no lo he conseguido.
