RaparigasLocais Introduction

Raparigas Locais is a native Portuguese dating site, especially designed to help you find the girl of your dreams. As the name suggests, the website works best if you are also within Portugal as the majority of their traffic originates from there as well. With a name like “local girls” there’s really no surprise that men are the predominant gender on the site.

Of course, girls do sign up to the site. More specifically, 39% of their monthly traffic is female, with most of its visitors falling within the 25-34 and 35-44 age ranges. Taking that into consideration, there’s no denying you can find attractive women and men at the peak of their youth for some online dating fun!

RaparigasLocais Registration Process

Good news is, RaparigasLocais made sure that you won’t have to waste too much time signing up to their site. In fact, all you’ll really need is your very own Google account and you’re one click away from logging in. Of course, for those who don’t get along well with Google, they have their own set registration form.

You are given a choice between man and woman for your gender and the gender you’re interested in, followed by your date of birth, location, username, email and password field. After that you are urged to accept their terms and conditions as well as their privacy policy to access the site. You can get a glimpse of the site but not fully work with it until you verify your email address. It’s a nice way to know that at least the rest of the people on the site have an email address they can be contacted through.

As a user, you have certain fields you can complete on your profile to make your experience on the site more fruitful and make yourself more enticing for your potential partners. Adding a profile photo is the obvious step, you can write a small headline for yourself, and some outer appearance information pertaining to you. And that’s it, you have a complete profile!

Features Of Raparigas Locais

Flirts

Among some of the more useful features you’ll find on RaparigasLocais com is their “Flirts”. Located tactfully just below the “About Me” section of every profile you can visit on the site, it’s presented as a multiple choice field. It presents you with 7 different options to help break the ice with your prospective match.

The feature is great for those who might be a bit shy to send a message straight away, or even for those who don’t really know what to say to start a conversation with someone. These are also great for making your intentions clear from the start as more flirty options exist, such as “Do you want a kiss?” or “Let’s be naughty!” followed by a kiss and unsuitable-for-under-18 emojis respectively.

Favourites

You’re bound to find many beauties on the site so deciding who to speak to first can become quite the challenge. Even more challenging is finding the profiles you were interested in before you committed to chatting with your first match. That’s where the “Favourites” feature comes in.

The feature shows up as a button just beneath the profile picture of other people’s profiles on the site, and by clicking it you automatically save said profile to a list among your menu tabs. This allows you to save profiles and visit again at a later time on the site. It’s a great time-saver as well, since you won’t have to play around with the filters again trying to find the right combination.

Visits

While this feature has us a bit confused, we cannot deny that it is quite useful. Based on what we could see on the dedicated page, there is a great list of profiles showing the most popular on the site in descending order. Obviously not every single one of them will be your kind of match, but it does show that other people on the site have their eyes and interests set on them.

Our point of confusion comes in at the top of the “Visits” page. The site states that there are no results based on our search options, however there is no way to search profiles in said page, not to mention choose from a list of set options for it.

RaparigasLocais.com Prices & Costs

If you wish to use the chat feature to communicate with one of the gorgeous women on the site, you will have to purchase one of their multiple message packages. Good news is that since it works on a pay-as-you-go basis, you won’t have to worry about those annoying renewals charging you each month that goes by. On the other hand, unlike some other dating sites we covered, Raparigas Locais does not provide its users with any incentives for free messages, so it didn’t really give us the opportunity to test out their chat feature before we reached for our Visa.

All in all, the packages available to you are quite similar to many dating sites you see nowadays. Obviously, the higher the price the better value for your money it ends up being. Here’s the breakdown:

€7.50 for a total of 3 messages (€2.50 per message)

€25.00 for a total of 15 messages (€1.70 per message)

€29.90 for a total of 20 messages (€1.50 per message)

€90.00 for a total of 63 messages (€1.40 per message)

€135.00 for a total of 120 messages (€1.10 per message)

€210.00 for a total of 240 messages (€0.90 per message)

Something which had us confused was the time-limit they set on the messages you’ve already purchased. Apparently, if you have not used 100% of your available messages within three months after your initial purchase, the messages will expire, meaning you won’t be able to use them anymore.

At the time we created our RaparigasLocais.com login information, we also came across two available deals. They were offering what looked to be discounted equivalents of the first two message packages offering a better value for your money overall:

€6.00 for a total of 3 messages (€2.00 per message)

€9.90 for a total of 16 messages (€0.60 per message)

It was also clearly stated that the above deals are available for a limited time. However, they do not specify whether they are a one-off purchase or if you can purchase multiple of them during their availability period.

Security Of Raparigas Locais

Use Of Personal Information

One look at Raparigas Locais’ Terms & Conditions, and more specifically, article 3.3 gave us quite the insight on how your information is used by their platform. By completing your registration process, you grant the site permission to not only copy any information you share on the site, but also modify, translate and even use for advertising or commercial purposes.

Third Party Involvement

As mentioned above, some of your personal information might be used for advertising and commercial purposes, however, that’s not as far as it goes. According to article 4 of their Privacy Policy, Raparigas Locais “may provide your personal information to third parties”.

This is done either by your express consent or in case they are required to do so by law, both of which sound justified. However, they might also share your information with third party offers in case it is “necessary” for the site, and this includes data such as your IP address, browser, hardware, and in general anything that falls under the “Automatically Generated Information” tree.

Conclusion

All in all, RaparigasLocais com is a great dating site for those looking to find their ideal Portuguese match! It’s simple interface makes it easy to navigate for both older and younger individuals, and the site is filled with gorgeous people looking to find someone to date or maybe even something more.

Much like every dating site, it has its downsides, such as no available mobile app, some security concerns and the fact that purchased messages have an expiration date. On the other hand though, it is among the few dating sites we have reviewed where we did not receive a single message until we at least added a photo to our profile.

All we can say is, give it a try! RaparigasLocais might not be for everybody, but it might be the dating site for you!
