First off, the site functions just fine. I think I gave it a good try, but ultimately, I can't get used to sugar dating. I found that I am way too shy to ask for help financially without feeling weird about it. I've always struggled financially and thought this would be an answer to my prayers, but the guys I've dated don't put themselves out there to help, so I know I need to ask for their help first, and I just can't manage to do it. Sugar daddy dating is sadly just not for me.
I've been having a great time on secretbenefits.com. Currently seeing 2 guys and chatting 1 guy long distance. They all provide support in some way and have all been gentlemen. In all honesty, I like older guys. They know how to treat a lady and are not just trying to weasel their way into my pants. To each their own, but I'm loving this so far!
I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the site and have met some nice guys along the way.
Don't always trust your bff's judgment on everything. She told me about secretbenefits.com after I broke up with my boyfriend. I checked it out cuz I was curious if it was a hook up kind of site. I really didn't understand it was an actual mutual arrangement with a sugar daddy type of dating. I don't know what she was thinking.
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.
I had my 1st date with a very nice man I found on the Secret Benefits website. I was a bit skeptical as I originally found this dating site from an article I was reading online. Who knows nowadays? I tried the experience from beginning to the end of the date last night. No tricks and no frills. I'm not the best or most patient on the internet and especially with a dating site, so I found this one easy to get started with. I found to my amazement that I was getting messages from guys after the first couple of days. Long story short, I had this date last night. A+ experience. Looking for a date next week, so I'll keep you posted if needs be. Ciao
Sounds like you are really enjoying the site Alexandra, very glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Everything you pretty much expect from a good dating site can be found on SB. I really appreciate that the site is super fast, and the design is modern. I've been on other sugar daddy sites, and most of them just feel kinda sleazy and dated. I don't think Secret Benefits has as many profiles as SA does, but I also noticed this site doesn't have as many bots and weirdos. Of couse, it's great that's it's totally free for sugar babies, and I have reached out to the support on the site, and they did get back to me farily quickly. All around solid sugar daddy dating site. I hope they keep up the good work.
Thanks for the great review Alnika, I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying Secret Benefits. We put a lot of hard work into the site so it's great to hear from our users that it's worth the time and effort.
Initially, I got on SB to help pay for college costs and meet interesting guys that had some class. I've had a great time until I went out with a guy that turned out to be nothing like his profile. He was overweight and looked nothing like his photos. I ended the date as quickly and graciously as I could. The guy was totally gross and pervy. I alerted the support team, and I don't see his profile any longer. That was a bit of a shocking experience, but at least the SB team was responsive.
Hi Hayley, first of all, thank you for your review. Secondly, thank you for reporting the member in question, this is the best way to keep dishonest people off the site. If you are concerned about fake photos, ask the member to verify their photos on the site before you agree to meet them, I think this would have helped you avoid the bad experience.
I felt like I needed to leave these guys a good review after how patient and helpful their support was to me. I'm not going to get into all of the details but basically I'm kinda new to online dating and particuarly sugar dating, so I had a bunch of questions and what not. I also was just not getting it as far as what I had to do to verify my profile. They might have been laughing at me with how silly I was being, but they were super patient and got me all set up. I'm feeling pretty good about being on the site now, and I'm starting to chat with a few guys. Thanks for helping me get my training wheels off SB team! Lol
Thank you Lauren, I have shared your review with our customer support team. They love hear positive feedback about the great job they do.
First, I unsubscribed from emails--not once, not twice, but THREE times. I kept getting emails. Then, I went onto the site to deactivate my account. I saw no way to do that. This is like getting trapped in a bad relationship with no way out! How do I break up with secret benefits?
Hi Allan,
I looked into your account as soon as the review came in. We have a few different unsubscribe options when you click on the "unsubscribe" link, and it appears you didn't select the "unsubscribe ALL' option. You've now been unsubscribed, and we are sorry that the differences were too great for us to make the relationship work. Sometimes relationships take work, if you'd like to give ours another try please hit me up with a private message and we'll see what we can do.
After my first review I've been contacted from secretbenefits on this website and they helped me in reactivate my profile. The only problem is that my profile keeps having all the time the same problem. Beyond that, I found a great sugar daddy and after trying various websites I can say this one is my favorite, even if it frustrate me with the problems on my profile.
Hi Alis,
The problem has been fixed, sorry again for the inconvenience.
I've been using this website and at the beginning was all good working, after a couple of days I realized my profile wasn't working anymore and some users said my profile was deactivated but I never deactivated it.
I've been trying to contact the customer support over a week and no replies, they are just ignoring me. Such a shame for a nice website, I am very disappointed. Don't waste your time on this!
My profession keeps me traveling a lot within the US. I found out this is the perfect way for me to date hot chicks while on the fly. This is the only sugar baby site I've been on, but it's been working great for me. I just pick up a nice gift for my date, usually at the duty-free, enjoy a nice meal, pick up the tab of course, and have a carefree great time with a beautiful woman. Keep up the good work and keep em coming guys!
Thanks for sharing your experience Michael, I'm glad to hear that Secret Benefits helps make your business travel a more pleasant experience.
I'm still on the search for a man that can pay the bills, but is not old enough to be my actual daddy, or grandpa for that matter! The last couple of men I went out with were for sure older than they said. Ok, whatever, I understand that's typical in the sugar daddy world. Personally, I just wish Secret Benefits would try to get some younger affluent guys on the site. Otherwise, the site works as it should, but for the aforementioned reason, I feel 4 stars is fair.
Thanks for your fair review Gretchen. If you've seen someone who is being dishonest on their profile please report them to our customer support team. There are lots of different sugar daddies on the Secret Benefits, including the young affluent type you speak of, keep at it and I'm sure you'll find one that suits you.
I'm totally on the fence with this site and sugar daddy dating in general. I've been on SB for several weeks, and I'm not having much luck. I am kind of picky, and I would rather just find one sugar daddy to see on the regular, but none of the guys I've gone out with have really matched the bill. I'm hesitant to put everything I really want on my profile because I don't want to come off a certain way. Maybe that's what people really have to do with sugar dating? I dunno. Maybe I'm over thinking it. Glad to see others are having some luck.
Hi Melissa, the truth is that if you don't share a bit about yourself on your profile guys will be less likely to contact you. A complete profile garners far more interest as it shows potential suitors that you are serious about the site and being a sugar baby.
I clicked through on one of their ads, and thought it looked interesting. I signed-up since it seemed easy compared to other sites I've tried in the past where you have to answer a bunch of questions, blah, blah, bunch of hoops. This site took me only a couple of minutes to get started. There are some decent women in my area. I noticed some of them are verified profiles, and others are not, so that's something interesting to look out for. I purchased some credits to chat up a couple of hotties. Not expensive. I've gone out with a nice girl a couple of times now. She isn't a bombshell, but she has a great personality. Happy with everything so far.
Thanks for sharing your experience Michael. It sounds like you've had a good first time with Secret Benefits and I hope you have continued success.
The signing up process was really easy. I need to still verify my profile, but nothing hidden or confusing so far. I was able to message a couple of men I noticed. No hidden fees or anything fishy. I'll see how it goes.
Thanks for sharing your initial experience with Secret Benefits Angela. Hopefully you'll update this review at a later date with your dating experiences when they happen.
Paid for an initial block of credit for 59 dollars. I was going to purchase more but only have the option of spending 90 dollars or more. Seems like a scam.
Sorry you weren't successful after your initial purchase. Sometimes it takes longer than others to find a compatible date but hopefully you'll be more successful next time around.
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.
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.
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.
