Secret Benefits

Secret benefits is not going to be for everyone but for those looking for a more straightforward arrangement this should serve u well as it has been serving me.

Ok, well, I tried to do SB one by sharing my good experience using their website. I recommend men focus on the realistic women and you're more likely to have success.

Kind of a slow start since joining. After some trial and error, I've learned it's best to ask for a 'chemistry meeting' in a safe place in public. I usually suggest meeting at a cafe or nearby park to get a feel for each other. Just don't be too surprised if they sometimes want to call the shots as to where as long as it's in an area where other people are around. Better safe than sorry. Didn't have an issue myself but you never know. I feel for me that a big tip for success is to show up looking my best. Like make an effort to look good (not too much fragrance unless you know what he likes), wear something appropriate for the time and place but not too revealing. Just keep it classy, you know? Turn on the charm, and play it cool along his energy lines so he feels comfortable and wants to see me again. Usually after that he should be hooked and up to meeting again. Plenty of men on the site, at least in my area, so don't get put out if things don't start happening for you right away. Took me a few weeks to get my first real date but things have really picked up for me since then and I have no problem finding dates when I'm in the mood now.

I've gone out on dates and getting some attention but my advice would be just take your time and use common sense when meeting someone for the first time.

Truth be told, I'm not one to write reviews unless a business really did something to wrong me, but this is kind of an exception because I'm actually having a really good experience using the dating site, Secret Benefits. I've used other dating websites in the past, and most have been alright, but I think this one has a modern edge and functionality that the others don't really have today in comparison.
The men I have gone out with have been gentlemen and all-around nice dates, but I'm not sure what I'm really looking for yet, so it's kind of a good thing most of these guys are also looking to casually date although a couple of guys have asked me about my thoughts on a long-term relationship (can't blame them for trying).
Another nice perk is it's totally free for women and you don't get bombarded with ads or spam, but they do send you emails about dating and relationships if you opt in for that. I did verify my profile fairly easily with their support, but my one critique is I wish more guys would verify their profiles. It makes it a lot easier chatting with someone when you at least know it's the guy in the pics you're looking at!

The structure of payment strongly encourages fakes, meaning, you pay to contact a woman, even if she's only on the site for one day and then vanishes. That happens all the time. You'll see a cute new girl, you reach out (which is how the site makes its money), and the next day she's listed as "no longer active." It just feels like a lot the people I write are set up by the company, and it makes me wonder if they should be investigated. I could be wrong. And there ARE real girls on there, too, I've met some really nice ones. It just feels like I should get a bunch of credits back for all the times I write someone who's on the site for one day and then is gone.
One more thing -- it's kind of fun and diverting. I have my system set to log on regularly, it's kind of like a coffee break. If I find a real girl -- there are some -- great. If not, I lost some money to a bot scam, but what do you expect, it's a sugar daddy website, I can't find a single one that gets good reviews. All the same, it'd be nice if they refunded credits wasted on girls who pop up for a day and then vanish.

My roomie thought she would be funny I guess and started my profile on secretbenefits.com without me knowing. I was kind mad at her at first but I couldn't help my curiousity when I started getting favorited and messages from pretty sexy guys. Started chatting a guy, Charles, that lives a couple miles from me. He took me out last night and the sparks were flying! Feel like I'm floating this morning. Guess I need to thank my friend now!

Lots of beautiful women but I'm suspicious if there is a kick back to the girls for getting you to message them or unlock their private photos (nothing special). Smallest credits package is 200 credits for $89 (about 45 cents per credit). 10 credits for unlimited messaging to a user or to open private photos. Do both and you're out 20 credits (or $9). Women message you and when you reply, you never hear from them again. Some will converse a basic sentence until you also open their private album and then you never hear from them again. One was kind enough to reply and even agree for a date to meet, and then disappeared. May be they are just looking for a billionaire but there must be some type of incentive to get guys to pay to read their generic/general message in the meantime.
UPDATE:
Shortly after this review was posted, Liz from SB Support contacted me with some possible explanations for low response and tips (I wasn't aware they even had support). SB also credited me my last purchase and encouraged me to give it a little more time. Rating is updated from 1 Star. May do a follow up to this one.

The site is packed full of beautiful female bots for you to waste your credits on. Genuine women are in the minority.
If you are a guy, save your money and go elsewhere.

Cool site. My girlfriend told me to check it out. She said she had been on SB for 6 months and has had a good experience. I just lost my job and I am trying to pay for school and keep my head above water, so I was happy she told me about this site. I've always heard about women finding men that are happy to take care of them and encourage them to succeed in life, but I really didn't think it was something that would be possible in my reality. I've been on for like 2 weeks now. I had guys message me right away after I created my profile. I decided to verify my identity with them and I had twice as many guys message me after that! 3 dates in my first week! 5 dates after my second week on the site! Some have been really generous with gifts and paying my way, and some have been a little cautious acting. I understand we are all looking for an ideal situation, so no big deal I guess. I haven't met someone that I am totally into. At this rate though I feel I will find my sugar daddy as long as I keep it up and stay positive! I know there are several similar dating sites to choose from online, but I'm happy with this one.

For a variety of reason I suspect they use computer generated messages to you as mentioned by others, to get you to spend tokens. I have had an absurd number of messages sent to me, that when I pay to open contain either "Hi" or "How are you handsome", but when you reply you never hear back. I am highly suspect about the "last logged in" info which was often different from the location they were supposed to be from, and very frequently was from cities in Maryland. I mentioned recently, and now every listing states "last logged in from United States". Finally, if you study the images closely you will note electrical outlets that are not used in the U.S., and I am confident I have often seen digitally altered images of the women, I mean actual faces shown that were not corresponding to the skin tone and position of the neck. For me, the whole things screams scam very loudly. Once my current load of tokens is done, so am I. The real girl selection is okay, some good and some not so, but the scam aspect is unacceptable.

So after an initial introduction to the site and using 100 credits very quickly, I bought the 1,000 credit package. I had lots of introductions from women, all quite polite and as such, I spent 10 credits a time responding to the majority. Out of those I responded to, at least 80% did not even read my response. Let me elaborate, supposedly a woman took time to view my profile, send me a message and then decided not to read the response, despite this being less than 24 hours since they contacted me?
Being a little puzzled by this, I sent messages to those who contacted me, asking what happened and two of these women came back to me explaining that they did not send the intro email themselves... it's done by the site. So basically, it appears that to spend my credits, the site sends emails themselves, so I "connect" with the woman, whether she is interested or not? That's just not right!
If you persevere, then there are opportunities, but honestly, this isn't right.
I did complain about the lack of response, before these two women responded to me and was given an extra 100 credits, but based on the information I now have, I will be reporting this site and will definitely be removing my profile when I've used the last of my credits. Avoid like the plague!

Been on the site for two weeks, there may be very few legit girls on the site I think met 1, but the rest are total BS. (funny a reverse of the site signature LOL) I had some fun with it, and I just couldn't give my money away as a donation to help these girls out even if had I wanted to not even expecting anything in return, but after 2 cancelled dates and a no show with girls dropping of the network after agreeing to meet up or disappearing completely after I reply to their message, I am very skeptical and bit pissed that I waste this much time. Ok Herb, screw me once, shame on you-- you need to fix this s%1t. I'm done with BS of SB
