Be forewarned! Though there might actually be 'real' women here, the site has obvious fake profiles that will interact with you, pushing you to spend credits. You've all seen it… You barely get access to the site, haven't even begun a bio let alone uploaded a pic and already three girls are sending you messages? Mmm… BS much?
Update: I received an email from Liz reassuring me that there are no fake profiles. Interesting that so many here have similar experiences. She stated they issued a refund for my 100 credit purchase, so I guess we'll see. I saw a review that one gentleman spent 20 months on this site. I can't imagine the amount of money he spent, thousands likely, before meeting his SB only to spend even more on her. Another reviewer claims to have had a conversation with a girl who admitted that the women are incentivized to drain credits form men's accounts with endless conversations that lead nowhere.
As men, we pay regardless of the relationship… traditional or SD/SB. The target is a mans heart, and its a easy target to hit. Read The Rational Male and hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
I met beau on secret benefits and we have been happy together for 3 months now. I am sharing this for anyone that's wondering if finding love is possible on this site because it sure is!
I use secret benefits for free so only can speak from my perspective as I know dudes pay but I am on the site every day and I'm having good fun meeting successful and nice guys in my area so I would tell others that this site is worth trying out.
Super happy having recently found a great guy that has ticked off most of my boxes. Kind, handsome, generous and fun to be around.
Thanks and a big hug to SB for providing a great date site for singles!
SB may not be a site you want your colleagues or family to know you are using, but as far as being a quality site that encourages beautiful young women and successful mature men to find happy win-win relationships, this site delivers.
Yes, my ladies, u can find very nice men on Secret Benefits, but some are very mysterious because maybe they have other women, but also many good guys are happy to meet and do fun things. Don't be discouraged easily but also be careful. This site works and is free but you can't find an app.
I do agree with several other reviewers that SB is a pretty darn solid site for arrangement dating.
I been getting solid action on the dating scene with few disappointments.
Site is solid all the way around.
Yeah, you got to use credits to message and not all will respond but from my experience, not a lot of funny business with the women as most seem eager to carry on a convo and meet up.
Signed up 4 days ago. Bought $250 in credits. Received about 50 new messages from women (BOTS) in a 30 mile radius. All simple greetings like "Hi, how are you?" "Hey there!" etc. Note that none of them said anything specific about me or my profile. I responded to 25 or 30 of them. Note they contacted me first. ZERO responses from any of them. ZERO. Bot generated scam, basic cash grab using fake profiles. Save your money, learn from fools like me that are nice enough to leave reviews so you don't completely WASTE your money.
Update a few days later: The Secret Benefits team reached out through Sitejabber asking for my email and username saying they were going to fix something.
Instead my login no longer works saying my password is invalid, and the reset password function no longer works. Looks like they just shut down my account instead of issuing any sort of refund or anything else. I would give this site a 0 star if possible. Do not spend money here. 99% bots, 0% customer service. Based out of Cyprus. Side note: SugarDaddy dot com is a evil twin/clone of this website so they are ripping off everyone there as well. EXACT same everything including profiles, instead of SB it is SD. That is the ONLY difference on the webpage. I wonder how many dollars these two companies have scammed out of people. Millions.
My initial worry was it was going to be lame with an imbalance of women to men, but I have been actually having a great time meeting successful and mature men.
The site itself operates flawlessly and tons of profiles to flirt with. Many funny and clever responses and I've vetted several to meet for regular dates. Not a dull weekend, haha.
I like secret benefits as an alternative to other dating apps. It has been free to use and guys have been generally very cool and enjoy spoiling me.
Have been on this site for 4 years or so and have spent hundreds of dollars on "credits". Have met a few young ladies in the past, so there are some real girls on there, but their percentage is getting less. In the last 2 years it has changed. I get lots of messages initiated by a girl. Of course it cost credits to answer the message and more credits to see their secret photos and now even more credits to see their "secret questions". You get one or two messages from the girl then the conversation goes dead. So of course you spend more credits just to see if they read your messages. And you are also encouraged to spend more credits to "boost" the message to get them to read it. In the end you burn up a lot of credits and accomplish nothing and get frustrated so you move on to another girl and often repeat the process. Before you know it you have burned through $169 worth of credits and have made no meaningful contact with a girl. A few real girls have told me they were not made aware that guys have to use paid credits to answer their messages. This site has a lot of potential but the owner have turned into greedy scammers!
I can see why some people would have a hard time with the site especially if you are a guy without the ability to support a relationship or if you are a woman that may not be that attractive. Not to say you got to be rich or a super model, but this is not like Match or POF. Totally different kind of dating, but super fun and fulfilling if you are looking for something more direct and exciting.
Iam writing this because honestly would not yave given SB s chsnce if it were not for my buddy showing off his new arm candy everywhere he gies and finally dpilled the beans that he met her on this site, so determined to get my own babe, I joined, and tbh just doing the rounds. No prob getting dates and met some real incredible women that want more and there have been some good connectuons but with so many options, it is realky tough settling on one right now. First time in my life honestly with do many hotties that hmu at once. Credits are reasonable but can see how it can get out of hand if you messaging a load of women at once.
Loving SB! Tons of cute silver foxes. Happy to take me out to really nice places, travel, spoil with gifts. Last guy bought me a versace purse and still happily seeing each other. Also free to use and very fast but no app in App Store.
This site is pretty simple to use, if only it had serious prospects that are actually wanting to connect. The site spams your inbox with what appears to be bots or AI messages from women that are interested. "Disclaimer: I am not the greatest PUA to ever live and I am also no Don Juan, but I am descent at starting a conversation and building rapport with women."
Now back to the site, You have to pay for conversations and pay for private photos through a credit system that you buy which is not cheap. You then receive more unsolicited conversations that you must pay for to unlock. Usually within two to three exchanges, you realize that this is not a human interaction and not a serious interaction. The conversation starts out generically and when you ask or require in depth responses or responses that require more than a yes or no answer, end of the Ruze.
Don't be fooled by the profiles, because even if the profiles tell you what it wants and you are providing exactly that, you find that conversation and setting in person meet ups are flaky. This is where some other reviews have disclosed that it appears when you are lucky enough to get into a real interaction with a woman, she may be on the payroll for the site. Which means, she's only there to waste your time.
I really wanted this site to be what it claimed to be, but after a couple of months, I cannot in good conscious give it a good review. I'm not sure how things work for women who sign up, but men be ware. My advice is focus on your hobbies and meet someone live while doing what you love instead of wasting time and money here.
Hope this helps someone and good luck!
I'm on SB for a couple months now and seeing a couple matches but not yet swept off my feet. I do like that there are no charges, customer service does reply in a reasonable time and are not generic response. Not everyone is so direct so can be annoying to drag info out of certain people but is pretty much expected on these dating sites. Still yet, generally nice guys on SB.
Hello. My name is William Terrance. I would like to add that I started a free profile about a month ago and after a bit of searching and many notifications I decided to purchase a basic credit package to give some women of interest a shot.
To my pleasant surprise, many responded back, and I continued with a few interesting conversations.
Last night I met a very friendly and beautiful young woman at our local coffee shop and it was a slam dunk date. We came to an understanding of what we are looking for and she has agreed to continue to see me.
For me personally, it was my proof in the pudding that Secret Benefits is indeed a legit dating website.
Thank you,
William
I had to go through a lot of chats and dates. Some became friends and others were duds.
It can at times be discouraging, but I the motivation to no be alone kept me going and after about 6 months of being on Secret Benefits as well as a couple of other dating apps, I met someone really special on this site and we have been going strong for 3 months now.
I would say to others about this site that it does work and there are plenty of options at least for me in a fairly populated area. I wouldn't lower my standards but I did have to learn to be flexible and more open minded with what people wanted. All in all a great site as long as you have patience and a good amount of social skills.
I used hundreds of credits that had had to be purchased messaging women. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MEET ANY OF THEM. Messages conversations would look very promising and get to the point of arranging to meet up or giving them my phone number. Then they would stop responding! EVERY single one of them. Not only did I waste my money on credits It wasted plenty of my valuable time. The people who set up these types of sites are absolute scum.
Same experience as other people! You need credits for anything on the website. I mean I don't have problems to pay for the service but the accounts are fake or bot- generated. How can be possible that I sent 30 messages and I barely received one back? Forget it
