Fling.com describes itself as “the world’s best adult personals site.” It may seem like quite a bold statement, but with thousands of Twitter followers and claims of over a million members, the site is certainly making an noteworthy name for itself in the world of online dating. At first glance, with a series of thumbnail sizes photos and a sign up window, Fling‘s homepage doesn’t exactly make a particularly memorable impression. Yet, it’s within Fling‘s simple and modest design that the site’s intentions are revealed. This site does not rely on flamboyance or flashiness to attract and draw in its members, it simply offers true photos of its sexy members and invites you to take it or leave. This bare bones approach is what makes Fling.com such an appealing and refreshing adult dating site. You aren’t bombarded by ads or unnecessarily gaudy images on Fling, but rather a sample of the site’s content is simply laid bare for you on the first page. Evidently this anti-flashy approach is working well as the site already boasts millions of members and an impressive presence on social media.

The sign up procedure is pretty much straightforward as you fill in some general information (who you are, who you’re looking for, etc) before choosing a username and password.

The Bad

Like many sites, the main drawback to Fling.com is that you cannot really do much on the site until you’ve signed up for either Silver or Gold membership. Though the site lets you check out local profiles before you sign up, that’s just about all you can do before paying. Most of today’s online dating sites require you to sign up for a paid membership before accessing all features, but many give you certain temporary features for free just to let you test the waters, such as a few free messages. Unfortunately, Fling does not seem to have many of these free features.

Pricing

Fling offers a number of paid options for both the Silver and Gold memberships. Silver membership is available on a per month basis for $24.95/month, a three month membership for $16.65 per month, or a year long membership at $8.33 per month. Gold membership meanwhile is similarly available at $34.95 per month, $19.98 per month for a three month membership, or just $6.67 per month for a lengthy 18 month membership. All memberships are purchased with a single lump sum payment. Obviously the 18 month Gold membership seems to get you the most out of the site for your money.
