Took a gamble trying out yet another dating website. This one was a bit different from others that I've tried which I guess is why I gave it a shot. The signup was quick and easy, plenty of good looking women in my city area, I've messaged a couple of the ones that stood out to me and they both responded and we are currently chatting back and forth. Everything seems to be on the up and up and I'm satisfied with how things are going so far.
If you are not looking for anything too serious and you're also not into hook-up sites, I feel Secret Benefits would be a great fit. If you're a woman, everything on the site is free. Most of the men are generally 40's-60's. I personally really appreciate going out with more refined men that know how to truly treat a woman. Of course, there have been total lame-o's too, but surprisingly I've only run into a couple of them. My radar for jerks is pretty good. The only thing I wasn't really thrilled with is the lack of verified men's pics.
Thanks for sharing your experience Rachel. While we do communicate the importance of verifying pictures and videos to all our members in a variety of ways, nothing provides a stronger incentive than the request of a potential match. With that in mind, please encourage the men you contact to verify their pictures and videos.
The site is basic, so that' up to you if you like that, I found it at least easy to get started. There were not many guys I would likely date in my area - in normal life that is. I normally like to be approached, but I realize that messaging is only free to sugar babies, so I went on a limb and messaged a couple guys I thought were decent. No reply. I went for my second choices, and I did get some replies back. You have to both do some investigating to see what everyone is looking for, but I did end up on a decent date that turned out to be fun. I feel like I would see him again. Not too sure about the other guy's profiles in my area.
Thanks for your review Alicia. I'm glad to hear you were able to find a good date in your area. There are thousands of people signing up every day so keep on the lookout for more ideal matches in your area.
Secret Benefits has been working out great for me. The women on here for the most part are very receptive and open. I also like the way this site is designed and the credits idea is so much better than charging me monthly fees.

Well, I've been using Secret Benefits for 10 days now. I get my opinion may not matter much, but for what it's worth, the website is easy to use and there are plenty of women. Been talking to one for the past week via video chat, and she's the real deal from what I can tell. I hope once this lockdown is loosened we can meet in person.
Me and my friend recently joined because it's free and we saw a video about this site being free and a good site to meet guys that will treat you out to nice places. Maybe not looking for anything serious but love meeting new and interesting guys.
I signed up a couple months ago to find someone to spend some time with. Movies, dinner dates etc. Before buying credits I was swarmed with messages. So, I purchased the smallest "credit" packages. After looking through the messages I picked the ones I wanted to respond to. I've had numerous that would send a message and never respond back. Now, ask yourself. Why would someone send a message and never respond? Why would they send you a message, read it and never respond? Keep in mind that they initiated contact. This is nothing but a scam to get money. Avoid this site at all cost. It's full of fake profiles that I believe are set up by the site to rip people off. It should be set up the where the ladies have to pay and it will only recognize your current location. You can set up a profile and pick ANY state you want. There are a couple sites that are $90 a month but they actually have real ladies in your location to talk to. I'll be filing a dispute with my CC company.
I’m very sorry to hear you haven’t enjoyed your experience on Secret Benefits. Our customer support has tried to contact you in order to help you have a more successful time on the site. I hope you have decided to give the site another try and that you will update your review to reflect that when you do.
As with any dating site, it can sometimes take awhile to find someone you match well with. It’s helpful to have a complete profile that let’s others know your likes, dislikes and what you are looking for. You can also greatly improve the responses you get by sending a good first message that entices them into responding. Please keep in mind that sometimes people can take a few days to reply to their messages and some might join and decide not to stick around for long.
I do hope you’ve been getting better results.
Have to buy credits to communicate and then Convo with that person is free. Problem is any message you have opened and responded to you will never hear from them again always new people sending you a message only so you buy credits for bots. Actually see someone I know on site has the same pictures as Facebook does save your money better options available.
All these reviews are likely written by the fake profiles on there. You buy credits to talk to people and share and access photos and every convo will end the minute you respond. Been on SA for two years and was hopeful with this one because of the video verification. Helpful hint. If it's a name with a number behind it, it's likely a fake profile. If this review helps one person not waste their time, it will be energy well spent.
Oh, PS, have had great success on SA. This isn't the answer.
My first date came together last night from Secret Benefits. It wasn't terrible, but I would not see him again. The main reason is that he was a total bore, kinda snooty, and I highly suspected he might be married. I can't blame the site for this, and I will give it a couple more tries. I do like the site concept, it is free and easy to use, so I hope things work out.
Thanks for taking the time to submit a review Jessica. I hope your future dates are better ones and appreciate you giving it another try.
Review:
A buddy of mine recommended SB after having some luck on the site. I wasn't into the idea at first as I have not always had great luck with other dating sites, and I didn't want to waste a bunch of time, but he told me it was more of an NSA type site, and it was an easy process to get started. Curious enough, I decided to give it a try. I have had a couple of nice dates so far, but I was stood up once as well... yet all around, I'm impressed with the process and how simple it is to hook-up compared to some of my past experiences with online dating. Just keep in mind, it's not free for guys. You have to buy credits to message women, but at least you can search to see if there is someone of interest before you commit.
I'm glad to to hear you've enjoyed your experience with Secret Benefits and thank you for taking the time to submit a review.
I admit that I spent a lot of time just looking at the women and considering options. Guess you can call me a tire kicker. Once I finally gathered myself and decided to get credits to message a beauty that grabbed my attention in particular I realized that this site was legit as we struck up a great convo and are currently dating on the reg.
Not a bad choice for a dating website. It's a much more direct and honest form of dating that everyone, for the most part, seems to understand and embrace. I really do like that I only pay when I want to open unlimited messaging with a woman of interest. They do it in credits, but I think it's maybe the equivalent to like 5 bucks. Cheaper than buying a girl a drink at a bar. All jokes aside, I've been getting dates with girls I wouldn't think would say yes to me, so that's really why I frequent this website so often.
Thanks for sharing your experience on Secret Benefits. I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying the site.
I would like to report that after dating the same gal that I met on Secret Benefits for the past 6 months we have agreed to seeing each other exclusively which I couldn't be more thrilled with. Angie has been everything I wanted in a woman and more so. Very thankful!
Great for college students like me that want to meet generous men. I've always had a thing for older guys especially after being around so many immature boys on campus, so Secretbenefits.com has been a great solution for me. I've gone to some of the nicest restaurants in town and the men have always generously paid for the night out. I've recommended to a couple of my friends as well and they're having good luck too. The only bummer part is they don't have an app, but other than that it's a great place to meet nice guys.
That's great to hear, I hope you continue to enjoy being wined and dined by nice guys.
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.
The first chick I went out with from SB was a crazy loony bird and I was concerned with what I got myself into.
This summer has improved with the women I've met. Maybe they just needed some sun after this winter lockdown that I think everyone was feeling.
I like the interface of the site and the support is decent in response time despite not having a phone line or live chat feature.
This place tell the women how much to ask per meeting. They tell them to ask $400
I have countered with $200 and have met a couple of women. Like others have said I think that there are site generated profiles that message you to get you to use your credits. The response rate is very low.
Hi Dan,
Thanks for your review. I just wanted to clarify that we do not generate any profiles, all profiles are submitted by real users looking for a mutually beneficial relationship. We take no part in the arrangement terms you decide upon with your date and do not make any recommendations regarding any forms of compensation. We have hundreds of new sugar daddies and sugar babies signing up each day so please check us out again and hopefully you'll get more responses. Remember, the key to getting responses is having an informative profile with pictures and informative bio.
I have met some legit women on here however there should be some way to review or screen those girls who are basically a waste of time and credits. Some of these girls think someone's going to pay big bucks simply for pictures or dates without intimacy. Responding to these girls' messages is a waste of time and money. I suppose these could be site generated emails, but I don't think so, they seemed individual. Anyway, girls should be required to state in their profiles whether they are interested in intimacy arrangements or not.
Hi John,
Thanks for taking the time to review SecretBenefits. We're really glad that you've been able to meet some legit women on the site. Like any dating site, we can't guarantee that you'll hit it off with all members. We encourage both sugar daddies and sugar babies to fill out their profiles as much as possible to provide as much information about what they are looking for. We also provide the option for users to submit verified photos and videos as a means to provide the most transparency possible when you choose who to contact. We really appreciate the feedback and are working hard with site improvements which should make your experience even more successful.
Answer: Hi Jane, have you contacted our customer support team via the website? They are available nearly 24x7 and will be able to look into your account and provide you with an answer.
Answer: No it's not too old. Age does not matter... go for it
Answer: Hi Andy, We have thousands of members signing up on a daily basis. If you happen to live in an area without many profiles, the best advice we can offer is to check back frequently as the site is growing all the time.
That's great to hear, I'm glad your gamble paid off and that you've enjoyed the site. Thanks for sharing.
