Fling Review

Member Quality

Member quality is something of a mixed bag. Fling boasts over a million members from all across the world. However, a lot of these profiles appear to be fake. There seems to be a lot of bots designed to promote the premium service and entice gents to part with their money.

That being said, there are also plenty of genuine members as well, covering a host of ethnicities, ages, and sexual orientations. However, the most represented age range is 25-40 – as you would expect with any casual hookups dating site.

Signing Up Could Not Be Any Easier

Fling has done everything in its power to make the registration process as straightforward as possible. That is the biggest positive we can give in this review. You simply need to provide your email address and password, then click the verification link sent to your inbox. Simply fill in your basic information (age, location, orientation), and then you’re free to browse profiles and send winks to anybody who catches your eye.

Bear in mind, that’s all you can do until you upgrade to premium, but it’s nice to be able to dip your toes in without committing to a monthly expense.

Fling Is as Safe as You Could Want

Fling may be full of fake profiles and chatbots, but they are not harmful. They only exist to get you to buy the premium package. All of your personal and financial information is securely encrypted and under no threat of being sold to third party companies.

Also, every profile comes with a report and block setting. This helps when you experience bad behavior from other users. If you block a member, they will not be able to message you again or see your profile.

Advanced Search Is the Way Forward

Premium Fling members are given an advanced search function. This really helps narrow down your search for local singles. You can discriminate by age, orientation, ethnicity, and more – so you always find people who suit your tastes. You can also search for singles based on popularity or their online status.

There is a basic search for all users, but this does not yield the most accurate results.

Messaging Is Simple and Fun

Like most dating sites, messaging is a premium-only feature. Luckily, this is easily the best of the Fling experience. You have a variety of options to choose from when contacting another member. You can send winks to let people know you are interested or if you’re feeling bold, you can message them directly.

There is also a cool chat room where people congregate for flirting and sexy chat. If you’re looking for a good laugh and maybe something a little naughty, this is the best way to break the ice with other users.

Our Expert Conclusion

If you want our opinion (why else would you be reading our review?), there are plenty of better online dating options than Fling. You should stick to the more established sites with good reputations, especially if you don’t want to sort through pages and pages of fake profiles.

There is some fun to be had on this platform, but genuine encounters and the potential for casual dates are few and far between.
