Fling.com has been running for more than 15 years as a site for casual dating and hookups. It says it has over 2.3 million verified photos and a review team working around the clock, and states that it doesn't make fake profiles, a common complaint about hookup sites.
How it works
You can join free (with email, Google or Apple) and browse members before paying. "Mutual Match" pairs you with people who share your interests, swipe-style. Chat supports photos and videos, and priority messages put yours at the top of someone's inbox. Beyond messaging, Fling has video chat: private cam-to-cam, public video rooms and tipping, so it sits somewhere between a dating site and a cam site. Profiles can be set to private.
What it costs
Browsing is free; messaging and most features need a paid membership, whose price is only shown after you sign up. Tips and priority messages are extras on top.
Who it suits
Fling suits people who want a casual-dating site with video chat built in. For the biggest member base, AdultFriendFinder is still the first stop; our hookup-site reviews compare the others.
