Last updated: August 2019

Our Review

It may have originated from Australia, but RedHotPie has been spreading its way throughout the world. Seemingly, this dating platform is marking its territory in the online dating scene.

Regardless of your sexuality, you are welcome to try and search for your perfect date. The site connects males, females, couples, and groups who are seeking casual dating and sexual experiences.

Not alone? If you and your partner are interested in exploring more with regard to your sexual life, you might want to check out RedHotPie's swinger community. Tag along with your group if you feel like more is merrier.

Users can join the site using their Facebook login details. They may also utilise the site's social networking features by participating in forums, photo galleries, and by liking other members profiles and pictures.

Sound good so far? Read on and learn more as we tackle in this review all of RedHotPie's features.

Member Structure

Members

60,000 from Hong Kong

Members activity

24,000 active weekly

Gender Proportion

37 %

63 %

Singles, couples, and groups of all gender are present on the members' list
A lot of members are swingers who want to explore their sexual fantasies
Male members are greater than the female members by almost 20%
Almost 30% of the total RedHotPie members are 25-34 years old

Hongkong ranks ninth, among the countries with the most number of RedHotPie members. Considering that Australia is the origin country of the site, there is also a significant number of members actively using the site from Hong Kong.

Gender is not an issue and even couples and groups (swingers) are welcome to use the site's features. RedHotPie acknowledges swingers from the moment they sign up. When answering the registration form, they have the opportunity to declare their needs to properly match them with other swingers like them.

The difference between the number of male and female members is remarkable. This could mean that men are probably more open-minded than women with what RedHotPie can offer. It's a proven science anyway that men are more likely to engage in swinger-kind of relationships.

The majority of RedHotPie members are within the age range of 25 to 34 years old. Members of these ages seem to be quite active on the site and frequently interact with other users. This is probably because of such age group's easier access to the internet.

Signing Up

Free registration for anyone who wishes to join
A good dating platform for couples and groups
Not-so-strict registration process
Complete your registration by answering questions about you and your dream date
Uploaded profile photos are subject for review by the administrators

The signup process of RedHotPie is simple and doesn't require much information. All you need is your email or a linked Facebook account. There is a verification email as well once you've successfully filled out the needed information.

While it may seem to be appealing to have an easy registration process, we can't help but conclude that this makes the site vulnerable to fake users and profiles.

RedHotPie is open for everyone regardless of gender or relationship status. Step two of the process lets you choose whether you are straight, transgender, or transvestite/crossdresser (tv/cd). This step also asks about your relationship status and if you are creating an account with your partner or group. Couples and groups are very much welcome and can explore any of the special features of the site.

The third and fourth steps of registration let you describe yourself by choosing the right icon for your body type, height, and ethnicity. It also allows you to declare who you are looking for, the age range, and your intentions about the relationship.

Making Contact

Sending messages is mostly for premium members
Guest members can send free messages when there's a match
Web Chat and Text Chat features are available
Send a flirt to get other members' attention
Report disrespectful members to block them from contacting you and viewing your profile

There are different ways on how you can communicate with other members: simple messaging style, webchat, text chat, and flirt.

Message- Simple messaging is quite similar to sending emails. You may also see the status of the message whether it's unread or opened already.
Webchat- Webchat allows you and the other member see each other and have a virtual face-to-face conversation.
Text Chat- The text chat is where you can send and receive instant messages. It works the same way as the Messenger app of Facebook. To enter the chatroom, you should have an Adobe Flash plug-in. Quick protip: it works best in a Mozilla Firefox browser.
Flirt -Flirt is one of the special features of RedHotPie. It helps members, especially guests, connect with other users by letting them send default messages. You can choose from three categories: ice breakers, to the point, and cheeky.

Search Options

You can change your search settings based on username, gender, age, location, and/or their preferences. There are also advanced search settings for premium members.

If you don't want to receive any messages for the moment, you may adjust the settings and activate the lock feature. Unlock it and receive messages again for your convenience.

When checking the inbox, messages highlighted in red are from premium members. Those highlighted in green are unread at the time of the login.

Using the contacting features is available for all paying members. Fortunately, guest members can also have the chance to send messages to a match – somebody who meets your criteria given that you also meet his/her criteria.

For members who wish to block certain users sending inappropriate messages or showing improper behaviour, you may report them using the "Report Abuse" link.

Set the status based on your current mood

Pay for membership to view restricted photos
All profiles need to be validated using your photo and mobile number

Each member has a choice of what to show on his or her profile. Just go to the "Account and Profile" section and edit the fields that you want to change. You may also add information on the parts that you've skipped before.

A lot of members are open when it comes to their profile information. Even sensitive topics such as intimate, sexual, and fetish interests are usually filled out by the members.

Photos are optional. However, profiles with photos look more genuine and more likely to become interesting to other users. You may also add separate folders for public, private, and amateur picture sets.

Other information includes physical appearance, lifestyle, general interests, and activity.

While completing your profile, you have the option to put "Ask me" and "Do not display." Do this if you prefer to be mysterious or want to have more privacy.

Real Life Review

"After moving interstate for a new job, I needed to get out and about and make some new friends. A guy at work told me about RedHotPie and that he used the site to meet around 10 girls in the past year. Some were serious dates; others were just hookups. I thought I could do it, too, so I registered and looked for a hookup experience. On my first three days on the site, I had conversations with a lot of girls I found through search. Until I had a nice conversation with someone I found while checking out the forum about awkward sexual experiences. I messaged her and we met that weekend. Yes we hooked up, and a year later we are still hooking up, but she is now my girlfriend. And no, there is definitely no awkward sexual experiences between us!" – James, Account Manager, 24

Design and Usability

RedHotPie offers a lot of functionality and special features. This can make the site overwhelming at first since there is too much to look at in one page. With a little practice, however, it wouldn't take that long to get used to the site.

The way a member's profile looks depends on the information that he or she will provide. Since there is a lot of white spaces, your profile might look bare if you will just put limited information about yourself.

Compared to the complicated layout of the website, the app is much easier to navigate since the functionalities are divided into categories for every page (home, messages, discover, prospects, and main menu).

When it comes to loading time, the site and the app responds on medium speed.

Special Features

RedHotPie doesn't want you to get bored. Below is a list of its special features:

Flirt

Lets you choose from several flirt messages to attract other members even if you can or cannot message them. This feature helps you give a good first impression with the right choice of message for the right kind of member.

If you are sending a flirt to a user who doesn't match your criteria or vice versa, you will be notified and asked if you still want to send the flirt. It is free anyway, so why not take that risk?

Amateur Pics

Browse sexy and naughty photos posted by other members. Feeling confident and showy? Post your pictures as well and get a chance to win some cash prizes if you will be chosen. You may also have a collection of your amateur photos by creating an album on your profile.

Nearby

See members around your area using the app. Adjust your privacy settings to "accurate," "vicinity," and "nearby."

With "accurate," your location will be shown to members when you appear to their search results.
"Vicinity" will just let other members know that you are around the area, nothing exact will be shown.
Lastly, "nearby" gives you maximum privacy by only showing your registered location, not the current one.

Date Finder

Just provide the date of your preference, describe your date or dates and the venue, and choose an inviting message for your prospects.

Webcam and Text Chats

Turn on your webcam and connect with a member or members for a more exciting experience.

"Adult Chat" is for a sexy and steamy encounter. "Couples chat" lets you (with or without company) meet another couple who wants to be naughty and playful.

"LGBT Chat" is a special chat feature for the members of the LGBT community. If you are looking for others who share the same interests with you, try "Kinks & Fetish Chats."

For something wholesome and more of a friendly online meetup, try the "Social Chat" and start everything above-the-belt. Those who prefer to send and read text messages only, use the text-only chat.

Date Away/Travel Plan

If you are planning to travel and meet other members on your destination, check out this feature and schedule your date! Save time and finalise your itinerary right away by just choosing the date of your meet up and match it with other members' schedule.
