Fling is, in general, full of fake profiles, or no longer active ones. Some are legit people, but finding them among all the inactive ones or fakes is a chore.

I have met some real people from Fling, but figure for every 20 profiles that fit what you're looking for, maybe 2 of them will be real or currently active. The rest will either be fake profiles or profiles of people who have moved on.

Fling isn't totally bad, but there are much better sites to choose from. Unless you live in or just outside of a large city(NYC, LA, Chicago, etc) Fling should be avoided.

As for BabyDoll's posts - accurate and informative rules to go by.

In general, if you're going to meet someone online, meet them in a public place and be wary, especially at the first meeting. If ANYTHING the other person says or does sends up a caution flag in your mind(aka makes you feel uneasy), break it off and get out of there.

Sorry I didn't have time to read all 39 pages of posts- all confirm the same results- I don't want to beat a dead horse (dead con site), but here's my take on cfb/fling:
(Everything I experienced has already been mentioned, but I had some quirky twists)
1.TONS of 23 yr olds who want my aging wrinkled 50-something d**k (without any pic or profile info), UNTIL I drink the koolade & pay the subscript- then I'm a lonely old b*st*rd. In the olde days, they called them "shills"- some guy would yell out, "I'll take two bottles!" (of Dr Willy's DoAll Cure Potion) & then the rest of the suckers would RUSH to hand over their silver dollar to the traveling snake oil man (You get the idea) .......
2.SOME real peepole on their (spelling like they do), BUT yes, in big cities, generally not 2 bryte, attitudes (esPECially wimin's) wreak, and what ho is gonna be dum enuf 2 put her FACE up there with her p***y ? Go figgure fokes...
3. B****es are really ghetto. Porn Pickup Divas. "Don't waist ur time n mine IMing me, I'll let u no if I see anything I like." Really? I'm supposed to pay $24.95 & NOT write anybody? What are the chances I'm gonna listen to that? Oh hell yeah, I'm IMing you, friending you, adding you, hotlisting you, winking, messaging & repeating my messages until you block me & then some (because it's all a game to me & computers are wonderful at f***ing with idiot b****es like ur ghetto a**). Rant-sorry.
4.All online guys have HUGE C**KS.
5. HUGE is 15inches or better. 7inches is tiny to a ghetto biatch. Never mind the averages- a ghetto biatch has different data. Hos with elephant holes to fill.
6. They always sneak in more charges than you bargained for. You can cancel the RENEWAL, but you can't get a refund.
Note: (I use a "Secondary Account" Internet_Use_Only Card which I transfer funds to ONLY when I want to pay for what I ordered, SO, they don't get more than $1.96 extra from me). And yes, I drank the koolade....... ONCE. OK, twice. Lol!
7. It's a SEX HOOKUP SITE (aka, f**k site) and women are still looking for their "Soul Mate" or at least a real "Friend" with their Benefits (aka, D**K)... really??????? And they say MEN are stupid. You paid the subscription (unless you're a fake??), and it's your privilege....... but, honey, try M*tch.kom or eHardlyme for ur real love... (OMG) ...(sad)
8. THIS IS THE FREAKY PART: (Did anyone mention this?) The REAL life of the site is the WEBCAM perv freaks- "Women who like to watch" - men jerking off and women playing peekaboo with their t*tties & tw*ts - such awful webcam shots of assorted semi-flaccid sausages and sagging breasts - and peeps TRULY ENJOYING totally normal, if slightly perv'ed conversation via chat. They LOVE their chat. They REALLY DO! They talk like they want, nobody gives a d*mn, and if you don't like the channel, you form your own- what could be better for passing away the lonely nights, than watching some chick fall asleep with her t*ts laying on the bed or some perv yank his aging flaccid d**k?????? Lol!
9. There IS age verification (OK, via credit/debit card- remember the koolade?) and everyone KNOWS little Johnny or little Susie can't get ahold of one of those, riiiight ??
10. If you (a male) have 15inches-plus and want to raincoat-ride a skank ho with an even stankier attitude (remember, she's a Ghetto Diva Ho), or you're a HOPELESS schmuck/sweet_darling DESperately trying to find your One True Soul Mate Love of the Kosmic Debris, you MIGHT find ur sn.... er MAtch on CFB/Fling!
Hurry - HOTTT Guys/Gals R Waiting to Meet YOU!
Final Note: I hear what you're saying to yourself: "So what are YOU doing on there *twice*, Mr Wiseguy, if you're so smart???" - - - Research, purely research. Lol!
bfn

I almost forgot-
11. I DID make what seemed like ONE sincere chat contact this week on cfb/fling - it was one of those skank ho Divas with the DONT WAIST UR TIME AN MINE IMMING ME. ILL CONTACT YOU IF I SEE WHAT I LIKE." profiles. Yep, I messaged her anyway. Not a nice message, I'm afraid. She bit- like a mud-dwelling catfish on the bottom of the river, on a cheap rubber minnow. She came back with ALL CAPS and ho-lashed my *ss something fierce. Something about me having a small p*nis and not being able to find any "p***y" on that site....... and about how stupid I was for paying to be on that site (THAT part was true- lol) .... (but she had a "Discreet" profile & paid subscription... ??) ... Anyway, we exchanged meaningful insults & I taunted her, but she answered every comment I made (instead of simply blocking me)- I finally let her have the last word & closed out the browser page.
I don't know iF that's really point #11, but I wanted to tell it, anyway. Thanks for reading.
bye again

Fling.com is real and I can attest to that. I had two successful hookups in my 3 month subscription. I'll try to make this is objective as possible. I agree with a lot you who say they do shady stuff to get you to sign up. There are definitely fake profiles and they send you fake winks and emails to get you to sign up. I've been using online dating and casual hook sites for 10+ years so my B.S. radar is finely in tune and I can spot a fake profile from a mile away. I can tell you 100% of the dating/casual sex sites do this practice (some more than others).

You need to temper your expectations about the girls you want to hook up with. You're not going to hook up with a 9 or 10 (out of 10) super model type. It's not going to happen. The two girls I hooked up with were both 6's, they were pretty but a little thick but not fat or obese (lucky for me I like them thick). When it comes to online dating/sex, the women have all the leverage. You are outnumbered by men probably 10 to 1 on a site like match.com, and you are outnumbered probably by 50 to 1 on a casual sex site. Soooo, play the numbers game and let those emails rip.

Next, we need to set the expectations about yourself. As stated above, women have all the leverage. When it comes to dating, some women will overlook physical flaws if can make up for it in other ways (steady job, good income, funny personality, giving). When it comes to casual sex, women will go after the best looking guys. Then want to get rocked in the bedroom by a stud. So you have to be realisitic, if you don't have the looks to pick up women in a bar, then you're going to strike out on casual sex sites. I'm by no means a Brad Pitt or Mark Wahlberg, but I'm 6'1 and have a muscular body (probably better than 90% of the dudes out there).

Here's a few tips for my bros. You can't change your face but one thing you can always improve is your body. The vast majority of women love muscles and low body fat. It's a lot of weight lifting, cardio, and strict dieting but your physique will improve....and so will your confidence. Another tip - always get a fresh hair cut. I get mine cut every 2-3 weeks, and the ladies always compliment me on it. I know it's a pain, but I found the times when my barber shop is slow and I'm in and out in less than a half hour. Learn to dress good, pay extra money for good shoes and dress for success. And let's talk about your profile. It's an absolute must to find the best pictures of yourself. I can take 30 selfies and maybe 1-2 come out good. Trial and error. Write up a good profile. Women know when you half ass it, so write something direct and to the point but maybe with a little humor. Good luck guys

ive never even signed up for this site but its on my second email and its a lot of messed up nude and revealing photos. I don't even need a dating site i meet people in real life but its annoying that i keep getting harassing messages.

I think this scam is along the same line as Connecting Singles? An entrepreneur and divorced father of one from Hollywood, FL working in W. Africa during his grape harvest which burned to the ground asked me for a loan to pay the unfortunate employees until his insurance settlement. OH, PLEASE!!

Oh, and the Craigslist ads looking for a relationship. All ads were almost worded verbatim of one another, all working out of the country.

Like the saying goes, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."

Be careful out there.

Hi, I've been on Richmen for a few years. Dated a few guys, from here. Very nice men, educated, sexy, and independent. I'm not looking for a man to take care of me, I do fine in that department. I'm to busy with my life, for drama, single all the way.
The scammers are looking for your info, never give personal info, never send money, and report them as you find them. If your looking for love, this is not the site. Try POF (plenty of fish).
I also found that there are other links to Richmen, fling for example. Just gives you more exposure. But, like I said, if your looking for love, wrong site.

I am a Fling.com member AND I have met several men on this site. I'm not sure why you are experiencing this issue.

I go on fling once in a while. I do think some people are paid to be there, i would have to say this is the only site i feel is truly real. i have not personally meet or "hooked" up with anyone on fling but that is because its my preference not to want to as of now. Fling is the best in many ways from chat and video capability to overall superiority separating itself from "all" other adult type platforms on the Internet. Period!!!!. Just a guy who has search for the same as fling and could not find it!!!
