Real Life Review

"I just recently signed up for an account and downloaded the app version. I have been using the 2RedBeans online dating site for days now, and I can say that it is not just easy to use, but I also actually enjoy searching for possible dates as well as mingling with other singles through this dating site. Same goes with its app version. So far, I have not been encountering any glitch on the site. Everything, from signing up to doing searches, is hassle-free. The thing about 2RedBeans that I like the most is the Diamonds, which are received (for free) when I log-in, add additional information about myself on my profile page, or upload a photo. This is helpful for a free user, like me, for the reason that with diamonds, certain paid features can be unlocked; one of which is sending and receiving messages. Because of that, I do have a good time searching and virtually socializing with other singles. Online dating through 2RedBeans is both helpful and fun." - Entrepreneur (31)
