as the 4 websites listed below not only cater for Aussies (just as all websites listed on DatingDownUnder do) but they are created by and run by Aussies. As such, they are slightly better placed to cater for our needs (and desires as the case may be). So here are 2 of the best Adult Dating Sites, by Aussies for Aussies
Reviews of Aussie Dating Sites
An aussie born and bred dating site which has taken our local dating scene by storm. It has been tremendously successful in generating new members. Given Red Hot Pie does not get as much publicity as sites like RSVP, we believe its success is simply testament to the quality of the site. Their features include:
- Its Australia's Largest Dating Website with over 1,000,000 listings. Many people for you to meet.
- It has many features to make your experience fun including webcam chat and amateur pics
- It has well organised singles events, to make it easier for you to meet people offline
- It has both a regular singles section and an adult section
- FHM rated Red Hot Pie 8/10 in their global dating site survey, which is well above all other Australian dating sites.
We really like MultiCulturalMatch.com.au, just for their efforts at promoting harmony in Australia, through celebrating the diverse cultures which live here, by and large, peacefully. The site aims at matching people who are looking for someone of a different ethnicity or culture. It is really worth having a look. Other features include:
-
A massive database of singles from all cultures
-
MultiCultural Forums and Chat features
-
Blogs and News features
-
A great spin on one of Australia greatest features, cultural diversity
RSVP was pretty much the pioneer of Australian dating sites. The first and probably the biggest. The attract so many people, due to both online and offline advertising, (have you seen any of their TV adverts?) that you chances of meeting a match at RSVP are very high.
- As per most sites, it has well organised singles events, to make it easier for you to meet people offline
- The mobile dating service makes it possible to "internet date" on your phone.
- It has a unique travel section, where RSVP organise holidays to a range of destinations, matching the numbers of single males and females, giving you a great chance to meet and get to know people. We really rate this innovation as top notch.
- The one issue we have found with RSVP is that they are somehow aligned now with the Fairfax group. We have not spent time investigating what this arrangement is, so we are not placed well to comment on that, but we have noticed it has had a detrimental effect on the RSVP dating site. There are now many "non-dating" features throughout the site, including the fairfax header and footer advert and many adverts generally. (both for the fairfax network and sponsored adverts) We believe this is detrimental to the site, as sometimes it makes things a bit confusing. The price of success perhaps.
LavaLife is slightly different to the previous 2 sites. It is not quite as "Australian" as RHP and RSVP, as it has not been exclusively developed with Australians in mind. Rather, it caters specifically for Australian, Canadian and Americans. We thought LavaLife worth a mention regardless, given us Aussies were 1 out of 3 nationalities LavaLife specifically caters for, and for its features listed below.
- 1000s of singles join up every day
- Their local search functionality will help narrow your searches to people who live close to you.
- Search categories are split into Dating, Relationship and Intimate to help you find someone looking for the same thing as you.
- The LavaLife Party is a great social chat room to get to know people in a flirty but safe environment
