Login Process

Creating an account is simple and very fast on RijpeDating.com. The homepage asks if you're a man or woman seeking a man or woman and which province you live in in the Netherlands. You can then continue by linking your Google account or entering more information about yourself, namely your email address and age, and creating a username.

Before you can start browsing, you'll need to click the verification link emailed to you. Remember to check your spam folder if you can't find it. The email will also include your password, which is generated by the site. Once you click the link, you can start freely browsing the site and dating directly.

To complete your profile, add a photo and indicate your marital status, birth date, city, and write a little about yourself. Finally, you need to enter your preferences. This page includes physical information about your height, weight, eye, and hair color. You can indicate some sexual interests and what kind of relationship you're seeking and select a few keywords that describe your personality.

Once you're finished, you can log out by clicking the button at the top right corner of the page. Logging back in is easy; click 'Log In' at the top right corner and enter your email address, username, and password. Don't forget to check your emails to find your password.

Dating Features

Icebreaker

One of the most difficult things on any dating site is knowing how to start a conversation. The icebreaker feature solves that problem by allowing you to send an emoji and a short pre-written message to people you're interested in. It takes the work out of coming up with an impactful first message by doing it for you. Icebreakers are also highlighted in the inbox, meaning your message will stand out from the crowd.

Icebreakers are a premium feature, but getting some complimentary icebreakers with a free profile is possible by doing specified tasks on the platform. For example, activating desktop notifications will give you 3 free icebreakers. You're able to reply to an icebreaker that was sent to you with an icebreaker of your own for free. At all other times, sending an icebreaker costs 2 credits.

Date Guarantee

RijpeDating has a date guarantee policy, ensuring you'll get your money back if you don't get an actual date. This is subject to several requirements, including that you must communicate with at least 7 people per week who are within 100km and less than 5 years older or younger than you. Your fully completed profile needs to be at least 6 months old, and you must have had a photo for all that time.

If you meet all those requirements, you'll get refunded all payments from registration. These are strenuous conditions, and it will be challenging to meet them all, particularly talking to 7 different members per week. The refund will be denied if you run out of members in your area or age range.

Cams

Clicking on 'Cam' on the left-hand menu will redirect you to an NSFW cam site where you can watch live streams of models playing with themselves. You can purchase tokens to tip them or to send vibrations to the toys they're using.

This is an odd redirect to what is essentially a porn site from Rijpe Dating, which, apart from some slightly risqué interests, is generally SFW. However, some of the messages you'll receive on the site are naughtier, so if you're chatting with someone who gets you all revved up, that can be a good place to go and let off some steam.

Prices & Costs

RijpeDating.com has a Premium Membership available for 3, 6, or 12 months. The premium membership comes with the benefit of your profile appearing at the top of search results, a badge indicating that you're a premium member and 5 free daily icebreakers. It costs:

• €39.99 for 3 Months (€13.33 per month)

• €59.94 for 6 Months (€9.99 per month)

• €99.96 for 12 Months (€8.33 per month)

Premium membership does not include sending messages. Messages cost credits to send, and those are bought separately. Sending one message costs 10 credits. Credits cost:

• €29 for 150 Credits

• €49 for 350 Credits

• €99 for 800 Credits

• €299 for 2,500 Credits

The price per message works out to be between €1.19 and €1.99, which can be very expensive.

You can add 4 months of premium to any of these packages for only €10 extra. This is a great deal, but the advantages that come with premium are minimal. Additionally, at the end of the 4-month period, you'll be automatically renewed for another 4-month subscription at €49.99. You can turn off this autorenewal in your profile settings.

How Safe Is RijpeDating?

Fake Profiles

Rijpe Dating has some fictional profiles that the site runs, per the terms of use. These profiles are only for chatting purposes, and meeting these people is impossible. They specify that fictional profiles are marked by a heart icon.

However, every female profile has a heart icon that allows you to mark them as a 'favorite', so it's unclear which profiles are fictional or if that means all the female profiles are fake. There are no male profiles with the heart icon.

No Reporting Or Blocking

RijpeDating does not have a setting to allow you to report another user or block them on the site. This means that if a user is harassing or speaking to you inappropriately, you have no easy way of dealing with it. The only way to do it would be to contact customer support by clicking 'contact us' under your profile to report them.

No Identity Verification

Apart from verifying your email address, the site has no other form of ID verification available. This leaves the site open to scammers and catfishes who make profiles using fake photos and information. Additionally, with no easy way to report other users on the site, there's no way to report someone you suspect of being dishonest.

Conclusion

RijpeDating.com is a Dutch dating site that seems to aim to connect mature singles and men who are interested in dating MILFs. It's very easy to register and use and has a simple and intuitive design.

However, the site uses fictional profiles, and all of the female profiles have a heart icon that indicates they're run by the site. The credits needed to send messages are expensive. The premium subscription comes with very few benefits but is very affordable. Very few safety features are also available, including no way to verify people's identities. This leaves members of the site vulnerable to scammers and catfishes.

For these reasons, we give Rijpe Dating a 3.5 out of 10. There are better dating sites with real people, which also cost much less.

RijpeDating.com FAQ

Are There Real People On Rijpe Dating?

Some real people have profiles on the site, but it's difficult to determine who is real and who is fake. Try asking for specific photos, for example, of them holding up three fingers, to test whether they're real.

I Lost My Password, How Do I Log In?

From the login page, simply click 'Forgot password' and enter your email address to get a reset password email.

How Do I Delete My Account?

Click on Settings and then on 'Delete My Account'. You'll get a special offer of 50 credits for €9 and 4 months of premium added on for free to convince you not to delete your account. But you can click 'Delete My Account' again below the offer to remove your profile definitively.

Is RijpeDating.com A Scam?

It costs anywhere from €1.19 - €1.99 to send one message, and with the terms of use admitting that the site has fictional profiles that will keep you talking, it doesn't seem like a genuine dating site. Some other Rijpe Dating com reviews indicate that all the profiles are fake and that the site itself is a scam.
