I wouldn't even give this site a 1! I signed up a month ago and my regular photos and verification photo and video are still pending after it says they should be uploaded in 24-48 hours yet its been weeks. I get emails saying someone has viewed my profile and when I go to the site it says I have no messages and no visitors! I have sent several emails over the passed few weeks to the help section of the site. I get an automated response saying someone will personally respond to me in 24 hours or less and I have not gotten a single response. I deleted my profile and started over with hopes I'd have a better outcome and nothing.
I joined this service about a month ago and have yet to have a date or reach one of my matches by the phone number they've given me. I'm no don juan mind you but I'm not that bad looking and am in shape and ama nice guy but I've either had the girl drop out after sending me an initial brief message and after I've responded, or they give me a few brief responses and then stop texting me or when I think everything is fine and they give me their phone number, I call it and get voicemail. When I ask them they say they just have texting or their phone is broken or they refer me to an outside messaging service or they are traumatized by previous abusive boyfriends. So why are you actively on the site then? I'm starting to believe what some previous reviewers said that there may be a few real girls on here but the majority are bots or staff just replying to burn thru your credits. There's been too many dead ends since I've joined. I've had much better luck with regular escort sites returning calls and meeting even though I'd like more meaningful connections. I'm really starting to get pissed.
Hi Jim,
Sorry you've had some ups and downs on the site. There isn't much we can do to make the people you contact more reliable and unfortunately, people get cold feet from time to time. Please report any members who you feel are not on the site to find a date as that helps us keep out any people with the wrong intentions. There are no bots or staff members replying to your messages, if things are falling through it could be that you need to rethink your approach or it could just be that you've had a bit of bad luck.
I came across SB surfing the web. Thought I would give it a try. Turns out I am not cut out to be a sugar baby. Way too awkward for this lady. They send you emails to try and help explain and normalize the experience, but it's just not in me, there's just something about it that doesn't sit right. I can't really provide any further comment as I noped right out of there
Sorry to hear that sugar dating isn't for you Nancy. I'm glad you decided to give it a try and if you change your mind in the future we'll be happy to have you back.
I started a profile on Secret Benefits just out of curiosity mostly. I honestly had no expectations. I've used other more vanilla dating sites but never a sugar dating site before, so I don't have a similar site to compare from. However, all-in-all, I like that it's free, signing-up was super fast, I do get replies from guys every day I go on, chatting with several, and 4 successful dates this past month. Some guys are more generous than others, but they have all been sweet and acted like gentlemen. It seems I have more interest coming in from guys I've messaged before hand vs guys approaching me first.
Thanks for sharing your experience Helen. I'm really glad to hear you've been enjoying your foray into sugar dating and that Secret Benefits has allowed you to meet some nice guys.
I signed up last week and I have had a great experience with Secret Benefits. I appreciate the site feels more modern than others I've tried in the past, and it generally feels intuitive and is very easy to navigate. I had no issue purchasing credits and communicating with a couple ladies right now. Only 1 successful date so far, but she was a bombshell, so I hope to see her again next week. I just paid for the date and her taxi. She basically said she needs help with her school debt, so provided we end up seeing each other on the regular I have no problem helping her out along the way. Exciting stuff!
Thanks for the great review Kieran. I'm really glad to hear you appreciate the hard work we continue to put in to the design and functionality of SB - we are really committed to making it the best sugar dating site in the world.
I understand I'm not Prince Charming, at least not in the looks dept., but after being on the site for over a month, I have only had one date. I kind of have the approach of waiting for them to come to me, but rarely do I get a message first and when I do it doesn't pan out. I was hoping to scoop up a hottie that would otherwise be out of my league, but I'm not having the best of luck so far. The one date I did have was with a nice good looking girl but we couldn't come to terms. I'm not sure if this is normal on this site, or if I just don't personally have any game, so I will give 3 stars for now.
Hi Robert, sorry you haven't found your ideal match yet on SB. As I think you've seen, there are lots of beautiful women signing up every day so I bet it's just a question of time and a bit of effort before you find your ideal match. Best of luck and thanks for providing your feedback.
I've tried out SA and SugarDaddieMeet, and so far, I feel like SB is overall the best sugar daddy dating websites. My experience has been this site has less creepy guys that seem more genuine, from the ones I've met at least. I have a hunch that there are a good handful of married men on here, but they are on every site. I'm not stoked on the lack of wealth verification for the guys because it makes it really hard to tell if these guys are legit sugar daddies. I'm a single mom, yet I don't reveal that on my profile, so who I'm looking for is kind of specific. I've had several nice dates so far, and I think a couple of them are really good contenders. I recommend giving this site a try if you are considering it.
Thanks for reviewing and recommending Secret Benefits Emma. It seems the request for wealth verification is a common request and we'll look at that again and see if there's a way to do that which is actually useful. In the meantime, don't afraid to ask lots of questions and get to know each other a bit before you meet up as that's always the best way to weed out the pretenders.
I just wanted to say that not all the SD's on this site have money. The last guy I went out with from this site wanted to eat at Red Lobster! I was like, uh, for reals!? There are some real deal sugar daddies on here, but you have to sniff them out.
Oh no, sorry to hear that, there's not much we can do about people's poor taste in restaurants but we always suggest you get to know the person a bit before meeting up so that there are no surprises like that. Hopefully the next one will know what wining and dining should be all about.
Not enough women in my area. I don't live in a big town, but I was expecting more women to choose from.
Well a few ladies were there to "be there" I'm thinking. To help grow the site. I was scammed three times in different way. Be careful and think with the rite head!
I can't stress this enough... make sure she's 18!
Hi Kevin,
Sorry you had some bad experiences on the site. We have a large team dedicated to weeding out scammers and ensuring that Secret Benefits is a safe place where our users can have fun. I hope that you have reported any user who scammed you, doing so helps us remove them and also stops future similar attempts.
Secret Benefits is intended SOLELY for adults so if you happened to find somebody who is underage please report that as well and we will deal with it immediately. In all cases, feel free to send us a PM here or to do so via our support on the site. We take these cases very seriously and have zero tolerance.
I think this site has some good potential. Verified photos are helpful and so far they've been accurate. I've met lots of girls over the last year but have also spent a lot of money. The girls I've met have had reasonable expectations, something I've had difficulty with on some other sites. I'd give it 3.5 stars but there's not option so they get the benefit of the doubt.
I'm really liking this sugar dating site. I've had several successful dates with real SD's since I joined a couple of months ago. I noticed if I send the 1st message I get a lot more interest back rather than waiting for a SD to message me first. I also was able to verify my profile pics with their support team, so I think guys like that they know they are chatting to a real person. I also like that it's free! I think the guys have to pay something to message, but they can afford it. Lol
As far as delivering on what you would basically expect from a decent dating website, Secret Benefits does the job. I appreciate the clean and modern design of the site, and it seems like they have a decent customer support. I have hit some dead ends that ended up being a waste of my time, but I've also had a handful of great experiences with a few local hotties. Buying credits vs a monthly membership is a bonus. I would say it's worth checking out if you're on the fence about it.
Thanks Gary for taking the time to submit the review. I'm glad to here Secret Benefits has "delivered" for you and that you've had some great experiences with local women.
There are lots of guys on here but they should do a better job of screening them. I had one guy ask for my bank info so that he could pay me before we met. I guess that works with some girls but no way am I giving out my bank info to anyone. Other guys just want you to send them nude pics and some are just looking for sex but I've met good guys on here too and am currently seeing one a few times a month.
No nonsense or romantic bs just straight to the point ladies who are clear about what they want in return for what I want. I've been using the site a lot for frequent business trips and I've had more success than failure.
The site is a total scam. They send bogus messages to trick you into using credits. I verified it with a woman who supposedly messaged me. I asked if she sent a message or the system, and she replied the system.
Even if it was legitimate, the cost to send messages is absurd. Stay away and go to seeking arrangement
Hi Keith,
Sorry you didn't enjoy your experience but we do not send "bogus messages". Please send us
A private message with the details of the other member and we will look into it immediately.
The cost to send a message and unlock all future correspondence with another member is about
The same as a cup of coffee and we feel that's a fair price to ask.
Not really sure what I'm supposed to put in here but it is a legit site that I keep going back to. I met a guy on it and we now see each other once a week, I stay active on the site because honestly, the money is always nice and I could probably fit one more guy into my schedule
I love the guys I've met on SB. In my experience, I've been wined and dined at some of the coolest places in town by guys who I never would have met otherwise. How else would you meet a millionaire? I'm not sure how this would work if I was looking for something serious as most of the guys I've seen or chatted with are married or too absorbed in work for anything like that. You do have to be patient, sift through the guys who are just trying to collect hot pictures, and be prepared to spend a few hours to find the right type. Now that I have my system down, I can literally login and have my kind of guys chatting with me almost immediately.
Stay far far away. If there even are any girls in your area they are hideous. They will never stop sending you emails. They do the credit thing with bots to eat them up.
Hi Tom,
As I explained on the other review site where you also left a one star review, we have no intention of sending you emails if you aren't interested in receiving them. There was a glitch which has since been fixed whereby some users who deleted their accounts weren't properly unsubscribed to emails which is what happened in your case. As for your other comments, there are no "bots" on the site and it seems a bit unfair for you to say that while at the same time acknowledging the existence of girls in your area. I think you had a poor first experience, please send us a PM if you'd like to give the site another try.
Run! Three months on site didn't meet one woman. They deleted my profile when I wrote
"this site is fake" to a girl who was a bot or employee, so they read your messages.
This site is a scam filled with bots or probably even paid girls to get men to spend their credits. The girls will look real, probably stolen pics. This site uses the same tactics as able Madison. Real women are few and far between and some asked me for $800 week allowances but expected no intimate relationship.
Sorry you didn't enjoy your experience. There are no bots on the site and nobody is paid to make men spend their credits. As with any dating site, we can't ensure that members will reply to messages. We have thousands of women and men signing up on a daily basis, unfortunately not all of them become active. It sounds like you were unable to come to agreeable terms with another member, sorry to hear that but it hardly warrants such an unfair review.
Hi Egyypt, I looked up your username and your profile was not approved due to you being in violation of our terms of service. Creating further profiles will not help the matter.
