If Fling has one thing going for it beyond the super catchy name, I'd have to say that it has to be its popularity beyond all else. I'm not sure why it's quite so popular since despite being attractively designed and having a ton of apparent members, it offers much less than some other sites do until you upgrade your account. Nevertheless, it calls itself the "World's Best Adult Personals" - so what is it all about?

Fling isn't coy about the goals of its sex dating site. It currently offers a guarantee when you upgrade your account that if can't hookup by the end of your first three months, it will give you another three months free. That is something I haven't seen on even traditional dating sites. However, I suppose promising at least one fling isn’t the same as trying to say you'll find true love.

“If you want to see anything truly adult, you need to pay a per-minute rate”

You don't have to include many details when creating a profile. In fact, what I would consider a useful option considering the adult nature of Fling is that you can choose to have a "discreet" profile that blurs you photo. It also prevents anyone who hasn't been added to your black book of prospective connections from reading the written details.

Overall, plenty of Fling profiles included photos, which is great since you have limited access to profiles before upgrading. You can search profiles for free but the results cannot be enlarged beyond a preview pane. Moreover, what is strange to me is there is absolutely no way to show interest in someone's description until you pay.

After upgrading you can add folks to your infamous black book, invite that someone to be a friend on a personalized network of contacts. You can use instant messaging, both prewritten and freeform. Nevertheless, unless the individual to whom you write is also a paid member or you choose to join up to the more expensive gold level of membership, he or she won't be able to reply to you.

Obviously, in order to better your chances of making connections you need to pay that little bit extra. However, the less expensive silver membership is competitive with most other sites, whereas the more expensive premium subscription is definitely high-end. Both levels include video chat, the black book access, as well as sending and receiving messages.

An extra feature included for anyone at any membership status who visits the site is a live cam service link. However, although labeled with the Fling brand, it's really just like any other webcam service. There's free chat with the models that tease you a bit but if you want to see anything truly adult, you need to pay a per-minute rate. However, this service will do little in the way of finding you a fling, unless taking your wallet out for a spin is what you had in mind.

I was on this site for a short time and discovered that most of the women I was trying to connect with were fake. They would respond with only an email which lead you to other paysites. STAY AWAY!!!!
