Sign-Up & Login Process

During the 60-second signup users select their gender as either man, woman, or couple, select sexual interests of man, woman, and/or couple, and enter email, password, zip code, and age. Users are then sent a confirmation email to verify the account. Upon first logging in, users are presented with a gallery overlay of pictures and directed to select those who are hot. Then the site uses this selection to help better matches users.

Logging into your Fling account is as uncomplicated as it gets: just enter your email address and password and you're in. Using your email address instead of a username makes it that much easier to remember your login info.

Members & Messaging

Members have an array of options to find matches and add friend including searching by SMS Members, New Faces, Most Popular, Who’s Viewed Me, or Online Now. With advanced search, Fling members can filter by compatibility, appearance, and more, and uniquely search profiles for text or keywords. Other discovery options include a Trending Now menu option, a chat (video or group) section, and a Who’s Cute game. Rather than email messaging, members communicate quickly through chat.

Key Features

- The dynamic, energizing interface is lively and full of visually focused entertainment with countless ways to engage. The homepage alone features a ticker-like, scrolling image gallery from which users can instantly add profiles to their network, along constantly new in-screen chat pop-ups, and over 50 still and moving images sorted into 9 separate modules of Who’s Online, Members on Video Chat, Hotties (geolocated by the user’s city), Featured Members, Premium Live Cams, Who’s Viewed Me, My Friends, Popular Member Photos, and Popular Member Videos.

- User-friendly advanced search function allows users to filter profiles down to precisely who they are looking for based on location, sexual preference, age, and more. Other search options include searching by username, searching by membership assets or activities (such as members available via text and members with verified photos) and, filtering by profile fields such as income and open to meeting in person. The text search is an especially standout feature that allows users to dig deep into profiles and filter by certain phrases or keywords.

- As an active, ever-updating site, users can easily engage in the community by posting status updates. Unlike most online dating news feeds, status updates aren’t limited to videos and pictures only, and instead may be as nonchalant as a simple text-based update.

- For customization of each user’s experience, visibility preference options are available, in which users may turn on safe mode to block sexually explicit content, enter discreet mode allowing only users and friends to see one’s profile, or fully deactivate the profile for certain periods without jeopardizing the account or canceling membership.

Safety & Security

To maintain and oversee safety, Fling has a 24/7 profile review team and the site does not share or sell users’ email addresses and personal information to any third party. Payment safety is ensured through authorized sales agents of WTSeTicket, Epoch, and SegPay, services which may be contacted at any time for billing inquiries.
