Here's the deal with fling and most of these dating sites and I have been on many and pulled many hot women from online.
There are 3 problems the MEN, WOMEN and THE SITES.
1. Most men that join these types of sites are clueless, out of shape and can't get women offline. And they think they are going to go to some site and have a model come over and have sex with them by saying "What Up" making lewd sexual advances in their first email.
2. Most of the women on these sites are overweight older women, 5 and 6. Any hot young 7,8,9 signed up out of curiosity and get turned off so fast by the guys with no game that they leave. Unless they are looking for another girl. There are some hot girls looking for girls and some freaks looking for orgies. But the average attractive women under 30 does not need to look for sex. She it offered it all day long. And most of them will not even buy a membership so they can't contact you first anyway.
3. The sites market themselves the lowest common denominator of men in away that makes them think they can join and get laid by hot women. And that is deceptive and for the most part B.S. Of all of the sites I have tried of this type Fling has honestly been the best and LEAST scammy! The used to have a forum and I talked to some men that did hook up also but teh forum is gone probably due to the excessive amount for men *censored*ing that the site was a scam.
It is a scam?
Well I'd say know but it is presented in a way that it is misleading the aveage user, but then so are most dating sites. In fact only less than 4% of even Match.com users get a relationship, less for Eharmony. This is why none of them offer a money back guarantee.
I had one descent thin girl want to hook up with me and couple of other older women from fling. I only go for women that are very attractive and I have things in common with but that's just me. But it will depend on your city and dating pool.
So with Fling if you ok with hooking up with 5s and 6s, older women and fat women. Go For It!
Or are a girl looking for a guy, or another girl or a couple it might work for you.
So the bottom line on Fling, it not a total scam, it depends on where you are, who you are, your game, and your standards.
I wasted a lot of money on these site and dating sites with poor results and then started improving my game I studied a lot fo courses and ebooks and many were a scam. The best I found was but some guy that David D interviewed a while back Nico somebody I can't remember his full name but I know his site is pickupwomenonline.com.
He has a course, a newsletter and his stuff was right on the money. And he recommends using free social networks like myspace and facebook. He said he himself does terrible on dating sites but cleans on on social sites. And now that I have studied his course I have been much more successful on social networks than Fling type sites.
You might want to see if you can find his David D interview floating around somewhere online also there was some good stuff in it. He also has youtube channel that's how I found him.
Anyway I hope this help you lost souls I can totally relate I was once there myself If I only had all that money back now from f---- dating sites I'd have a paid for a new Ipad!
