GOOD ENERGY HAS BOUNDARIES
A little chemistry.
A lot of respect.
Everyone deserves a connection they choose freely. Nobody owes a reply, a photo, a meeting, or anything else.
Adults only. No exceptions.
Hot or Not is for adults 18 and older. Underage accounts and photos depicting people under 18 are prohibited. Enter your real birthday and represent yourself honestly. If you suspect someone is underage, stop engaging and report the profile. Do not request identification or intimate images from them. An Email confirmed badge confirms email access; a linked social-account badge confirms account control. These badges are not proof of identity or age. A profile, entered birthday, approved photo, or match is not proof of age or identity, and we do not perform background checks.
You control the connection.
Dating discovery is optional. Turn it off in Edit profile to hide your dating details from other members. Your exact birthday is private; only your age is shown to eligible members. Use a city or broad area, never an address. Existing conversations and public rating photos are separate from dating visibility.
Messaging opens when both people like each other. A match is not consent to sexual activity, an off-app conversation, or a meeting. You never owe anyone a reply. Open the other member’s profile to use Report or Block. Blocking removes the mutual connection and prevents further messages through the app.
No trafficking. No exploitation.
Human trafficking, forced labor, grooming, sexual exploitation, child sexual abuse material, and commercial sexual solicitation are prohibited. Be alert to threats, blackmail, pressure for sexual activity, someone controlling another person’s messages or movements, or offers of work, travel, housing, or money tied to coercion or exploitation.
Stop the conversation if it feels unsafe. Report the profile using the most relevant reason and describe the concern without uploading or forwarding illegal images. You can then block the account. Do not confront a suspected trafficker, pay a blackmailer, or attempt your own investigation.
Our reports are not emergency assistance and are not a substitute for reporting a crime. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. In the United States, call 911.
- U.S. trafficking help: call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text 233733. You can also find hotline support online.
- Suspected child exploitation: use NCMEC’s CyberTipline. Do not download or redistribute suspected child sexual abuse material to collect evidence.
- Report a suspected trafficking crime: contact the FBI’s trafficking reporting resources. Outside the U.S., contact your local law enforcement or a trusted local support organization.
Hot or Not will comply with applicable reporting and preservation obligations. These external resources operate independently of Hot or Not.
Keep personal and financial information private.
Do not send money, gift cards, passwords, verification codes, banking details, or private documents to a match. Be cautious of pressure to move off the app, investment offers, urgent requests for money, or demands to keep a relationship secret. Report scams or threats and block the account. We cannot guarantee the honesty or conduct of a person you meet here.
If you decide to meet, make it your choice.
Take time to get to know someone. Choose a public place, tell someone you trust, arrange your own transportation, and keep control of your phone and belongings. You can change your mind, leave, or end contact at any point. Do not pressure another member to meet or continue a conversation.
Share photos with care.
Only share photos you have permission to use, with every adult pictured consenting. Camera access is optional. Check the photo for addresses, documents, contact details, and other private information before submitting it. Reviewed photos and ratings can be public, and another person may save what they can see. Photo review can make mistakes, so report anything that needs attention.
