Our Summary

Flirt offers you an alternative approach toward dating that is focused on quick, fun interactions and chats that show you a unique side to locals close to you. The layout is generally pleasing and comprehensive. The language is straightforward and people’s profile pictures are displayed nicely for a quick scan.

Flirt sets itself apart by giving women who sign up free and unrestricted access to the site’s messaging features. However, men will be left with fewer dating options as they cannot read messages they receive, which is a problem. That said, even with the limited free chats you get a day, users have found ample opportunity to match and enjoy a casual flirting and dating experience that they find rewarding.

🆓 Free profile vs paid profile review

The free profile only applies to male users, as women will have more access to the site from the get-go with an account.

There are still plenty of things to do though, and not all features are unlocked for women, so it’s worth checking out. How do the paid and free Flirt dating experiences measure up?

✍️ Registration process and profile creation

Flirt encourages an easy start for new users, so the registration process for the website is quick and easy to do. It only takes a minute, and you can finish your profile later if you would like.

  1. Signing up

    Start off by putting in what you are and what kind of relationship you are looking for (example: man looking for woman), and then include your age, email address, and a password. Wait for the activation code to come to your email (takes 5-10 minutes).

  2. Uploading a photo

    Once you have activated your account, you will be asked to upload a photo of yourself. This is optional but doing so will help you appear in search results and make chatting with local men and women easier. Women will need their photo verified.

  3. Building your profile

    You will then be asked to write a status about yourself and give your ethnicity, body type, and hair colour.

  4. Creating videos and more

    Flirt allows users to create short videos to introduce themselves and give other people an idea of what they are like.
    You can also explore chatrooms and expand on your identity by adding to your profile and socializing with others using the paid features.

  5. Payment plans

    Flirt will require men to sign up for a payment plan to use the site, so you will sooner or later need to consider which option you would like to sign up with so you can enjoy what Flirt has to offer. Women, however, can enjoy the site from the start!

Even though men need to pay, the prices are affordable, and you can reduce your costs to test the service out for yourself.
