Site Review: Fling.com

20 November 2008 1,170 views No Comment

fling Fling.com is an adult dating site that specializes in really not doing anything while its members get busy with each other. There’s actually nothing spectacular about the site itself. While they have a few special features, it’s the established name of the site that makes it a place for millions of singles and swingers to meet up.

Some of the special features on this site are that they have 24/7 live customer service. They must call it “live” because when you email or call their support services, you are talking to a person and not an automated system. It’s also nice that they keep a 24/7/365 schedule. So if you email, there won’t be a long wait for a response and if you call, someone will always answer.

Another special feature is their “award-winning real-time video chat” so that you can get better acquainted with other members before physical meetings. The site claims that by offering this feature, they make the process of looking for sex safe. Honestly, I don’t see how a video chat makes anything safer. The only benefit I see from this is that you get a REAL look at the other members. We all know how photographs can be deceiving.

As with almost all matchmaking sites, members can meet other members free of charge but with very limited access. They offer either a Silver membership of a Gold membership where the Gold membership costs more than the Silver, but members get to access more features. Pricing breaks down as follows:

- 7-Day Trial: (Gold) $9.95

- 1 Month: (Silver)$24.95 (Gold)$34.95

- 3 Months: (Silver)$16.65 (Gold)$19.99

The usual gripe is that you have to first join the site to gain access to the pricing list. However, these prices are very reasonable, especially considering that this site is a stomping ground for swinging couples. In situations like that, it’s a two-for-one deal!

The simplicity of this site might be a turn-off for some. However, try to remember that when looking to be matched on this level, compatibility and deep connections are not something members worry about. Post pictures of T&A, chat, hook up, and move on. That’s what sites like Fling.com help people do.
