I wrote a followup to my Secrets Benefits review which so I will concentrate on Seeking here.
After an arrangement with a lady that I met on Seeking ended suddenly I decided to give Secret Benefits I intially contacted 2 ladies who didn't respond so a day later I renewed my membership for a month with Seeking $US89.
After 10 days I had initiated 60 conversations to ladies whose tags matched what I was looking for. I probably got into conversations with 20 of them. Some didn't read my message, which is ok (thats their choice) but at least I knew. I received access to 20 hidden photo's at no extra cost.
Yes some promising discussions stalled and there were ladies wanting to rip me off but I have started an arrangement with a lady who is "way out of my league" and will be seeing seeing her for the third time in a few days. The real telling thing is that I have told since told 3 interested, "way out of my league" ladies that I am taken. I am still receiving (another 3) very positive enquiries 8 days after I stopped initiating conversations.
Yes I can see the issues that others raise about being kicked off the site but for the life of me I can't understand why SB is rated in the mid 4's while Seeking under 2.
I was on Secret Benefits for 18 months. You should be able to find my a review I wrote in late July 2020. A lady I met on SB suggested I should try Seeking.Com. I had actually signed up a while ago but when I realised that I needed to list my net worth and income I thought that it was only for rich guys. At 62 I realised that ladies hate phonies and can spot one before they draw breath so I listed my inadequate finances.
I signed up for a month ($US89 - you just have remember to turn-off the autorenewal). This allowed me to initiate many conversations (a lot). Not all replied, maybe less than a quarter but you will learn that is a good return. Ladies get inundated with messages.
Each member can setup a series of tags which allows you to refine your search. My search was ladies between the ages of 18 and 32, within a 50km radius, all but a large body shape, looking for 'friends with benefits', no smokers and not after something Platonic.
The site discourages Escorts and sexual explicit language and it is very easy to be removed for what appears to be minor breaches.
Not all ladies are looking for the same thing.
Some want a little romance with a little pocket money.
Offer sale of Erotic Photo's and Videos.
After very Rich boyfriends.
Hoping to meet a man for $ but no sex.
Escorts.
And yes there are scammers.
As long as you are upfront with what you are looking for and treat everybody with respect while not leaving yourself opened to be scammed you should do well.
It is important to be upfront with what you are looking for and what your are offering early in the conversation. Its highly likely that they are not sure what they want and your conversation may shape their expectations. Use soft language and maintain respect for the other person even if it is obvious that you can't agree to terms.
If you'd like the Sugar Daddy experience. I would totally recommend Seeking.com
Honestly, I never knew I was that unattractive until I went seeking. I have sent messages to at least 100 out of that only 1 guy messaged me back stating he was not interested, this site had really took a turn in my life where I feel ugly. I understand every one has preferences but I would've thought some guy would have some interest
My account was recently suspended for soliciting sex! I asked them please provide proof that I actually solicited anyone on the site. They would not. I asked if they can narrow down the day this supposedly happen so I can check my own account. They would not. In their bylaws, members are required to provide proof of illicit behavior to accuse another member. I was asking for proof but Seeking will not. In addition, they refuse to refund any money. I'm not worried about the money. I am, however, very interested in Seeking providing proof that I acted in an illicit way. There are an abundance of girls on this site that get very upset when you decline their invitations or interest in you and not return their messages. Many are overbearing and desperate for cash and get really pissed off at you. So many of them are true "catfish" situation waiting to happen.
Hey Seeking... I am only asking for proof, just like you require each member to do!
DON T GO THERE FOR DATING OR MONEY!
I MET FEW, FULL OF FAKE PROFILS!
I went there just to know how people behave.
I texted with few pretending being enterpreners, businessmen. Travelling. When i met them, even if they were old, they even look fatter, 20 years older, and not normal but dressing poor and having poor behaviors. One pretending to be doctor in surgery. At a restaurant i didn t eat all the rice, he took the rest of that rice and sauce to take away. He wrote he had millions. Others took out tens of 1$ from their pockets to pay.
And others they put 1 a fake profil then when writting you, big presentation and nice Self description, then when you call their voice sounds like super old men of 30 years older than their age.
And some put their pics but 30 years before... and THEY GIVE YOU A FAKE NUMBER!
AND SOME PEOPLE WITHOUT PROFIL PIC WANT TO MEET YOU AND HAVING YOUR PHONE NUMBER NOP
THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM FOR THOSE OLD MEN LOSERS AND YOUNG LOSERS.
AND THEY PRETEND TO HAVE PROSTITUTES IN WHO SCAM THEM I WONDER IF IT S NOT THE WEBSITE STAFF MEMBERS THEMSELF SCAMMING THEIR MEMBERS HAHA
ORHERWISE YOU MIGHT HAVE PROSTITUTES GOING THERE BUT I GUESS VERY TINY NUMBERS.
99 % OF GIRLS AND MEN DESCRIPTION ARE ALL FAKE PROFILS. TAKE CARE GIRL

Hi guys
I've used seeking on and off for about 3 years! I'm 33 years of age and didn't use the site for escorting or anything like that. More just dating without the hassle of a regular relationship. I've had some joy and obviously a lot of scammers trying it on.
But what annoyed me the most is I got an email regarding a permanent blocking of my account and they said they have verified criminal activity! I emailed them around 7 times and got 2 replies from different people just saying our decision is final we will not respond anymore and we will work with law in relation to criminal activity? I literally never mentioned sex or did anything like this! And for them to say we will no longer respond? Yet they take the money for the membership but just block my account! I thought Americans were big on customer service? It's a joke!
BS app, So many fake girls on app. I waste my 3 months, so many fraud. I try to protect my account but they suspend me. I try to cancel my account get my money back but they never respond. Very bad customer services.
I've been a happy member of this site for the past 9 years. 9 years ago when it was only 69.95 a month but has since increased to 89.95 with no improvement to the site and in fact features were taken away resulting in an overall worse experience.
SA seem to have taken a sabbatical from advertising over the past 2 years as the number of members locally to me has dried up entriely, forcing one to look further away even in the time of the coronavirus.
Support also seems to have taken a sabbatical and is now seemingly outsourced to authoritarian internet janitors who enjoy denying service to users and never, ever admitting fault or that their bot may have made a mistake.
The site has taken an interesting approach to policing behaviour in that instead of a filtering system to prevent particular words from being used like on say onlyfans, they choose to automatically ban your account with no grounds for appeal. Likely an overreach to fear from SESTA & FOSTA which will eventually get them and I will celebrate the day they do when this happens after their treatment of me as a loyal costumer.
Firstly, their 'support' staff member accused me of soliciting sexual services for money which is blatantly untrue and anyone with any semblance of a brain knows up not discuss this on site. The then told me there would be no appeal, no review and any further emails would be ignored.
I pressed further with evidence to the contrary and then was bizarrely accused of fraud this time around, not solicitation. This shows they have no idea what they're doing and they're unwilling to admit their stupid bot is banning members in error.
I sure hope competition comes along because they've certainly taken foothold as the only semi reputable service there is.
You're running your website into the ground, Brandon and it will end up just like your dead sister sites, misstravel and what's your price.
Within a week I had 3 suspensions for writing "entertaining" and "online"! We are in lockdown due to covid, I was stating I wanted to get to know someone online during lockdown before we were able to meet in person. I was in no way being "commercial" as they put it, and my emails were falling on deaf ears. I asked for proof, and they were unable to provide it. A waste of my time. There's better sites to be on to look for a sugar daddy with much better customer service.
I don't like to put 1/5 but this site cannot be worst. Tons of fake profiles, fake girls, too many are webcammers looking for customers.
The main problem is "girls" are not interested in a sugar daddy.
Getting scammed on this site is really easy, looking to try another site getting scammed on this site is really easy, looking to try another site getting scammed on this site is really easy, looking to try another site getting scammed on this site is really easy, looking to try another sitegetting scammed on this site is really easy, looking to try another site
There is no point in using Seeking unless you are ready to pay upfront to some scammer prostitute who doesn't even agree to show her face on Skype. I think Seeking was created by a pack of crooks who prey on people's money. They use fake photos, stolen identities and bots when they need to work you into buying membership. They deliberately don't ban scammers. I don't know how they are still in business, they should be shut down!
I've never seen so many fake accounts on one site! You can easily reverse image search them and find out they are famous you tubers or tik too etc. The biggest reason why I give this Site a 1 star is because I nonstop report These scammers and nothing is done.
Do not waste your time with this organization. Here is my exchange:

Run away from these people, there are far better websites!
Paid 80USD for membership then woke up the next morning to find I had been banned for "commercial activity" - I had barely even had a chance to use the site?! After contacting support each time I would be met with a copy and paste reply stating that my account had been banned for "commercial activity" and no other information. To ban someone within 24hours of payment and no clarification on what I did wrong is just simply a scam.
Myself and My boyfriend were both banned on different occasions under false pretenses. ALWAYS after reporting members for being underage and/or for soliciting prostitution which is exactly what the site says its not for. Make no mistake if you are a female who ISN'T trying to be a hooker, or a man/woman who wants to actually date and provide for someone versus hiring a hooker they will ban your account and take your money. When asked for proof they will refuse. AVOID. Passing screenshots onto the authorities.
I haven't even been on this site a day and if you don't bow down to the "SDs" on this site you get reported and blocked. It hasn't even been a day on the site. I broke no rules... and blocked. Is there better sites?
I opened an account with SA because I wanted to try sugar baby dating, and not even twelve hours after they accuse me of being an escort and provide escort services, which was COMPLETELY false. Nowhere on my profile I said to be an escort, nor posted rates or whatever, and yet they banned me under false accusations. I have sent a complaint to them, not because I want to get back on the site, but because I was offended. STAY away. My friend also said that the whole site is full of scammers and impersonators lol
Sites is riddled with scammers (both men and women), prostitutes and predatory men over 35 looking to entrap a young women and teenagers into a sexually exploitative relationship. Young women stay away unless you KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
Most of the ladies on there are scammers. They ask you for a deposit before they meet you but never show up. Found out some are guys pretending to be women just trying to scam you for a deposit!
Stay off the site
