Fling Login Process

Creating an account on Fling will be quick and effortless. Your first Fling log-in will only take a minute or two to complete before you’ll be ready to start dating. Head over to the Fling.com website and click “Join Free” to fill in a form that will ask for the following details:

• Your gender (Male / Female / Couple)*

Now that you’ve created your Fling account, the site will prompt you to complete 3 steps that will help you tell others on the dating site who you are. These steps include adding photos, revealing more about you, and describing what you seek. 

Step 1: Photos/Name

Once you’ve completed the login process, you will receive an email to verify that your Fling sign-in details are correct. Simply click on the link provided to validate your email address. 

Profile Completion

When you click to edit your Fling profile, you’ll find that a few things have already been filled in. These are all the details that were provided during your initial login procedure. Your profile will show everything except for your sign-in details (email address and password), which will of course, stay private. 

If you skipped any of the steps during the Fling login, you can always choose to fill in those sections later. Even if you filled in everything, there will still be a lot else that can be added to fully complete your profile, and include the following: 

• Set your Naughty Meter (from “Vanilla” to “Lil Freaky”)

• Write an about me text to describe yourself 

• Write an about you text to describe your perfect match 

• Give your profile a short tagline

• Indicate what type of relationship you are interested in 

• Date of birth 

• Height 

• Hair color

• Eye color

• Income 

• Relationship status 

• Profession

• Religion 

• Mood status (what you are in the mood for right now, i.e., chatting, meetup, etc.)

• What languages do you speak 

• Living arrangement 

• Willingness to travel

• Play level (webcam play, one-time fling, weekend romp, etc.) 

It is completely optional, but members can also verify their accounts from the ‘Edit Profile’ page. Becoming a verified member will earn you a badge that indicates to other members that you are indeed who you say you are. 

User Account Quality

Fling uses a profile format similar to what you might find on social media sites that allow users to post statuses. Setting your preferences to only see profiles with photos will ensure you never come across any empty accounts. The dating site also encourages graphic nudity, so you can expect to see a lot of adult content while browsing online.

Profiles on Fling are quite detailed. As a free user, however, you won’t be able to see more than a summarized version of someone else’s profile. Viewing the full profile and seeing more than simply their profile photo requires you to spend credits or have an active Gold membership.

Fling Dating Features

The Match Game

The Match Game on Fling is almost like swiping through Tinder. Members need to have at least one photo uploaded to be able to play. Free users get to swipe through 50 profiles a day whereas Gold members get unlimited swipes.

You’ll only see someone else’s profile photo, age, location, and username, from which you can decide if you are into them or not. Simply swipe right or click the green check mark to like them, or swipe left or click the red X to pass. You can also add someone as a favorite by clicking on the heart emoji. This way, you get to keep track of all the sexiest members.   

Multiple Chat Rooms

Fling has a pretty good selection of chat rooms in which members can find locals to connect with. The only text chat room, the “Group chat”, is an open chat room where anyone can join to discuss just about anything on their mind. The naughtier the better!

Users will have the most fun in one of the many available video chat rooms. The best way to connect with beautiful women online is, after all, by looking them in the eyes when you talk. Fling offers an Omegle-style “Random Video Chat” room where you never know who might pop up next. Exciting! Alternatively, there are some topic-oriented video chat rooms for those looking for a different vibe.

Video chat room categories include:

• Lobby

• Chill vibe

• Confessions

• Travel

• Foodie

Live Broadcasts

If you are not entirely in the mood to have your camera on and rather want a bit of a show, then the Live Members section is for you. Here, you’ll find an almost never-ending list of beautiful women who are putting on live webcam shows for your entertainment.

Once you are tuned into someone’s stream, you can chat via text and even send gifts to show your appreciation. In this way, you can have a lot of fun watching what others are getting up to, wink, wink.

Social Media Style Posting

The Post section gives the Fling website a social media feel. Here members can add status updates and publish posts for others to see. Either post something yourself or simply have a look at what someone else is posting. 

Status updates are text-based only, but posts let users add photo and video content to spice things up a bit. You can also set your mood on a post to let others know if you are currently just chatting, hoping to have a video conversation, or keen to meet up. This is one of the many ways the dating platform helps members connect in a fun way. 

Advanced Search

There’s nothing wrong with being a bit picky, and Fling gives its members all the freedom to find the perfect casual fling through their search page. Users can do a Basic search using only a rather broad set of parameters. For those with a more particular taste, an advanced search will help pinpoint your perfect match in far more detail. 

Parameters for a Basic Search:

• Sexual orientation (straight / bisexual / gay)

• Gender (men / women / other)

• Age range

• Location (country and/or city)

• Filter results (online members / those with photos / verified profiles)

Parameters for Advanced Searches:

• Eye color

• Body type

• Hair color

• Ethnicity

• Religion

• Spoken languages 

• Relationship status 

• Selected interests 

• Profession

• Income range

• Filter by text keywords

Prices & Costs

Fling operates on a dual payment system, which gives its users some flexibility. Users can purchase a recurring subscription to access all premium features or do one-time credit purchases as and when needed to pay only for the features they intend to use. Using credits is a good way for those who are not as active on the dating site to save money. 

The site also offers short Trial memberships that give users a taste of what using the site is like before spending on larger subscription packages. Gold memberships are priced based on duration and auto-renew at their original cost as soon as they expire. Opting for a lengthier membership will result in a significant price drop when calculating costs on a monthly basis.

* Trial memberships are only available as an introductory offer to new members who can only select one Trial option. Trial memberships will automatically convert to a 1-Month Gold membership at an elevated rate of $49.95 per month once they expire. 

Premium features that are included in a membership (or spend credits to use):

• Chat in chat rooms (video and text chats)

• Watch members’ live webcam streams

• View profiles in full

• See who viewed, poked, and sent you flirts

• Read messages

• Send messages

• Swipe unlimitedly on Match game

Special offer: Featured Profile

When purchasing on the Fling website, a special offer for a 10-day Featured Profile trial will automatically be selected. This will come at an added cost of $10 for the first 10 days, after which it will convert to a recurring payment of $29.99 every 30 days to keep this feature active. Featured profiles get more exposure because they are always shown at the top of the home page and in search results. Be sure to untick this option if you don’t wish to have your profile featured on the site. 

How Safe Is Fling.com?

Fake Profiles 

According to the Terms of Use, the Fling dating site does not create any fake profiles like a lot of other sites do to ‘entertain’ their users. While browsing through profiles this seems to be true as there are no obviously fake or produced-looking profiles online. 

It might, however, seem like some of the interactions initiated by others are not entirely authentic. The site simply uses ‘Introductions’ or ‘Icebreaker messages’. These are all site-created notifications and automated messages (from real profiles) that assist in initiating dialogue with someone new with whom you have some similarities. Almost like your personal online wingman to help get conversations started. 

Online Safety

Seeing how many users want to keep this part of their lives as private as possible, Fling ensures that safety is a priority. The site educates its members regarding internet fraud and also lets users set their profile as discreet for extra precaution. Discreet mode can be activated on your profile settings page. Once active, only members already on your friend list can see your profile. 

Final Thoughts

You can expect your overall experience on Fling to be a fun one, filled with a good amount of interactive features and lots of NSFW content. It definitely puts the ADULT on adult dating sites. If you were looking for anything long-term or serious, this won’t be the place for it. However, as an adult online entertainment site, Fling shines rather brightly. 

While it is possible to find locals on Fling, you might get far more enjoyment simply by watching live webcams and connecting with naughty people from all over the world. The only drawback for some might be the price. However, the flexibility of either subscribing or only using credits as and when needed makes it far more accessible to a larger demographic.
