Flirtomatic - Review

Flirtomatic is not for light flirts and its slightly pornographic nature makes dating-experts wary of recommending it. It is a picture based app that delivers multiple shots of a sexual nature to your phone as soon as you have successfully downloaded it. Semi-nude boys and girls are flaunting themselves all over this site and your job is rank them, give them prizes, follow them (like twitter), watch videos of them and ultimately get in touch with the ones you like. It’s a format that has an instant appeal, but may well be less satisfying than it at first appears.

There are many poor reviews about this site on the web and it does seem to be a format designed to excite men, rather than encourage genuine meet ups. Ask yourself this question: How many women do you know who are happy to make sexy videos of themselves and put them live on a dating website for anyone to look at?

The site is certainly full of exciting features, objectifying its members to the max with a contest style format where profiles that people like the most are ranked (all based on pictures and video content). You can also like profiles, save them to your favourites list, wink at them and all the other usual features.

Messaging is for free, which is refreshing, but many of the features require coins that cost dollars. Having said this, the entry barrier is not high, with the lowest spend being £1 for 100 credits. The key incentive is the video content that many members seem to have attached to their profiles.

Flirtomatic was established in 2005, and boasts 3.5 million users worldwide.
