Using NoStringsAttached.com

NoStringsAttached.com isn’t a complicated dating and hookup site. Your homepage, once you login, has a simple and clean layout making it easy to use. Depending on your level of membership, you’ll see more or less stuff. VIP members will see the members who best match your preferences, live model chat, member videos, and live member webcams.

Complete Your Profile

To make sure you get the most matches and connect with the people you want to connect with, complete your profile. It’s easy to access from your homepage, and the helpful status bar will let you know if there’s still more to do.

  • Basic information: a little about you and what you’re looking for
  • Location
  • Physical features
  • Lifestyle information: education, occupation, marital status
  • Match preferences
  • Photos and videos – if you want to maintain your privacy, don’t upload public photos or videos that show your face.

Cheating Tips

NoStringsAttached.com wants you to be successful in your secret and sexy hookups, so they feature random “cheating tips” on your homepage. You can also click the link at the top of the page to see them all. Some are tips on how best to use the site, but some are tips to help make sure you don’t get caught.

Nudity or No Nudity

Sure, you’re on a cheating hookup website, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you want to see someone’s junk on your screen. You can turn your content filter on (no nudity) or off (ALL the nudity).

Flirts

Want to show someone you think they’re cute or interesting but don’t want to send a message yet? Send a flirt instead. It’s a quick, easy way to let someone know they’ve got your attention.

Navigating NoStringsAttached.com

Getting around the NoStringsAttached.com website is ridiculously easy. While it may not be the prettiest site ever, it’s definitely not complicated either. Want to know more about a match? Click on their name. Just curious about them? Use your mouse (from a browser) to hover over their name for a quick peek. The site itself is sectioned off in fairly easy and obvious ways.

Live Webcam

If you prefer to watch the action instead of chat with people, members and models go on cam all the time. Since NoStringsAttached.com isn’t a cam site, don’t expect as much as you’d find on other websites.

  • Live Member Cams
  • Live Model Webcams
  • Broadcast My Webcam

Private Network

When you upload videos or photos to your profile, they can be public or private. If someone wants to see your private images, they have to request access. In your Private Network, you can also keep track of who’s requested access and which private networks you’ve requested access to, as well.

Inbox

This is your email and message area. You can send messages here and not have to worry about a snooping partner finding them on your phone or in your personal email. Even better, you don’t have to share your personal email with a match so you can maintain your anonymity.

Hotlist

In this section, you can see the members you’ve hotlisited up to your limit, based on your membership level. Even better, you can see who’s hotlisted you in case you see someone you want to get to know better.

Views: See who has viewed your profile.

Flirts

You can everyone you’ve sent a flirt to. Even better, you can see everyone who’s sent a flirt to you. You never know when you’ll find a match that way.

Payments and Refunds

NoStringsAttached.com accepts multiple forms of payments: all major credit cards, debit cards, check or money order by mail, and even credit card by fax (people still fax?) or mail. On your credit card or bank statement, charges will show up as “FRIENDFINDER 4087021033” so that your payments stay discreet.

If you join as a paid member and prepay for any time, don’t expect a refund if you cancel your account before your membership renews. You won’t get any money back for days you’re not using the site. So use it or lose it.

Tech Issues

NoStringsAttached.com has a fairly extensive Help page with their frequently asked questions. Most of these will probably tell you what you need to know. If you have a technical problem while using NoStringsAttached.com, you can call the 800 number or use the contact page. How quickly your question is answered will depend on your membership level. Support by phone is only available for VIP members.
