Fdating Review

Last Updated:

Fdating was established in 2009 as a free dating site and has a global dating community. The site aims to connect singles from all around the world who enjoy flirting and dating. Fdating gives people a way to do this, even if they want to arrange meetups!

Even though this casual dating site is used worldwide most of its members appear to come from Russia and the Ukraine, particularly the women. This means that your odds of meeting people from Eastern Europe is high, although the site doesn’t advertise it as such.

Be advised that there is little to no information about who is currently running the website. Our own searches have turned up little data, either about the company or the number of users currently on the site.

There is also no direct way to contact the site either, as ‘Contact Us’ leads to their FAQ. This may be concerning if you are worried about fake profiles, but from what we can tell the site is legitimate and there are users online.

While it is unclear what the ‘F’ in ‘Fdating’ stands for, we assume that it means ‘free’, as this is the biggest selling point of the website. After all, you can create your profile, use the advanced search features, and send and receive messages without spending a single cent.

However, with any free site that may seem to be lacking modern conveniences, you have to wonder “Is the site worth my time exploring and navigating?”

To find out, read through our review of Fdating and see for yourself if the site’s features are worth exploring. We review the overall usage of the free dating site, its membership structure and demographics, chatting and messaging, the registration process, and more!

Our Summary

Fdating is a convenient site if you are looking for a free dating website that is free. It’s easy to use, although the design of the website is very plain and out-dated. Generally speaking, Fdating would appeal more to a mature user for dating than a younger generation. Like any free dating site, there are a number of fake profiles that you can tell might be used for scamming. Still, these are pretty obvious and you can avoid them easily enough.

The dating website really doesn’t have much going for it besides its free use. You may find it to be a little too basic if you are younger and more used to modern dating sites, but older users might find this more appealing. The site is free to use and just requires your registration, so you can really try it out for yourself to see if you would like to use it or not. In the end, you don’t have anything to lose by giving it a try, and who knows, you might just find the right person for you after all here.

Types of membership

Fdating only has one type of dating membership, and that is the free dating membership. All profiles on the website share the same status as one another.

💰 Using the site

The site is 100% free of costs, but be wary

Because the website is entirely costless, you are fully able to utilize its features from the start. So long as you can validate your account using a phone, you will get to see everything there is.

However, even non-members can browse the site and get a feel for it to see if they want to register at all. If you do sign-up, be on the look-out for anyone who might be trying to scam you or ask for personal info. Never send money over a dating site to another user!

📊 Membership structure

How many Fdating users in New Zealand?

It’s pretty hard to say how many users there actually are in New Zealand. There is currently no clear data on this, although there is an estimated 400,000+ users on the site worldwide.

Fdating’s demographics of love

The site does not provide any information for this kind of data and there is little on the web about the exact numbers. However, from our experimentation with the site we noticed a large percentage of women over 30 located in Russia and Eastern Europe.

✍️ Registration process and profile creation review

Generally, the registration process is quick and easy to do, and you can finish your profile at a later time if you would like. You will be required to verify your account via your mobile phone with a code that you will receive per SMS.

  1. Signing up

    When you first register, you will be asked to select your gender, username, and will be asked to provide a valid email address for the site.

  2. Building your profile

    From here you will be asked to provide more information about your interests, including your physical features such as hair and eye colour, height and weight, and so on. You will also provide marital status, education and occupation.

  3. Write a bit about yourself

    Once you have filled in the above data, you can write a bit about yourself, such as hobbies and the kind of person you are. Get personal with this as it will give your matches something to look forward to.

  4. What kind of partner are you looking for?

    Here you can fill out what kind of partner you would be interested in dating. Be as descriptive as possible to give potential matches a good idea of whether you would like to date them or not.

  5. Registration code and verification

    Finally, you will be sent a verification email that includes both a profile ID and password for the site. Your account will be inactive until you have used these for the first time. Afterward your account will be active, and you can receive messages.

    You will then be asked to provide a valid phone number for verification. Once provided you will receive a 5-digit code that will validate your account and allow you to proceed to the rest of the site.

📱 User friendliness

Fdating dating site review

Like with any free sites for dating, registration is a quick thing to do and requires little information on your end to verify your account.

Navigation

The website is quite a bit outdated and lacks a lot of the features and qualities which give most other dating sites something attractive. You can even view other members profiles from the start before you register if you want to try this out for yourself.

The site is easy to use despite this, and everything is readily accessible from any page that you are currently on while browsing the site. Nevertheless, the site does work even if it is a little old-fashioned and out of date.

Profile

Profiles can be informative, but there are quite a few fake profiles of women just on the site that you should be careful of. As for your own profile, there is a lot you can add to it, but the information is basic, focusing on your physical features and a little about yourself.

Fdating dating app review

Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a mobile dating application. You can only access the dating site using your mobile’s internet browser. The mobile version of the site works identically to the desktop version and you can still meet people there.

✉️ Contacting users with Fdating chat and messaging

After you do a search for women or men who might be right for you and have found a profile you like, you can easily start to talk with them.

How to contact another user:

  1. Search for a profile that you like
  2. Click on one of the men and women that you fancy
  3. Click the button above the profile pic that says ‘Send Message’
  4. A new window will pop up with a message box that you can fill out
  5. Type out your message and click ‘Send Message’
