(Silver)Fling.com is an adult dating site which are more geared towards hook-up style people with much more explicit profiles and content unlike mainstream dating sites. Fling fits the general mode of adult personals set-up with a register-first tour where you really can't get a feel for things before signing up. The site mixes together profiles/personals, video chat, extra pictures/videos, and a lot of other upsells like PPV cams, ads, etc.
A lot of profiles did come up for me to browse through including users that had online or recently online notations. I did a number of searches for different city locations and it seems like there is certainly many profiles in their system. There are contact features like instant messenger and the basic/advanced searches were self-explanatory and brought up relevant results and lots of them.
The video chat section has thread/room breakdown like a message board forum where users are listed by men and women. This is a feature that is a fun way to interact in another way beyond the standard messaging tools. Of course the men outnumber the women but there were a good number of females and overall nice activity going on in this section.
A collection extra of photos and streaming videos is available. It's mostly very raw/amateur stuff fitting with the personals and user driven amateur site theme.
Members do have profile optoins to do things like Safe Mode, Inactivating Profile, Disabling User Comments, etc.
Looking at the Browse totals which have a breakdown by U.S. state, Canadian provinces, and other countries the number are really not believable. States like North Carolina and Georgia supposedly have over 300k profiles. That would mean about 1 out of every 30 people in those states have are on Fling.com. Clearly there are a mix of real and fake listings here which is standard for these adult personals site. It's just something you have to deal with in this site genre.
As with most adult personals sites the ads are nearly as prevalent as the main site content. You have a big splash page banner ad upon logging in then other banner and text link ads mixed on nearly every page of the site. There are live PPV cams. The mobile app requires you give them your mobile number which I would guess leads to a lot of text ads and other spam type upsells.
As with most online dating sites you can't get any sort of feel for the site from the guest tour side of things. They want to get your email and registration right up front before you get any peek at the content or set-up.
There's no pricing or membership level info (Gold, Silver, etc) provided on the guest tour. You have to register first and go from there.
Fling fits the mold for what you'd expect to see from an adult dating site. They do have personals but it's very much a hit-and-miss bunch of listings. The video chat seems pretty active and along with the submitted-style videos/photos they have some additional content depth beyond the user profile listings. One thing adult dating sites always do is inundate the design with all sorts of ads and upsells and that is the case here.
