“Redemption”

Dennis A. P.
7/5/24

I've been ghosted twice from chicks on this site, but the last one just majorly redeemed herself yesterday. Tbh, I was about done with trying on here, but just like that, I think I just met my match. Amy and I have found a great arrangement that works for both of us and I'm actually excited. Upward and onward!

“Scam profiles and only accept Bitcoin”

Mike W.
10/2/24

SWM, I've used this site off and on for about 4 years with varied results. One of the most annoying things about it; The site automatically sends out messages and likes from dormant female accounts just to get you to spend credits. Now lately they won't take credit or debit cards which I've used for years. They only accept Bitcoin to purchase credits to contact other site members. What a load of crap!

Not enough women in my area. I don't live in a big town, but I was expecting more women to choose from.

Scam site... Get messages so you have to use credits, then never get replies back. I think the fake profiles get credits for there messages

I’m sorry you haven’t enjoyed your experience on the site. We have tried to reach out to your to help but have not received any response. Your claims are incorrect, I’m sorry you haven’t received more responses but 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.

Joined Secret Benefits based on other reviews.
I confirm it is a good one unless you are after random hookup or marriage material.

I'll admit it can be a bit of a crap shoot, but c'mon guys, so are the regular escort sites. The difference is that if you happen to luck out, which I did (beginner's luck possibly), you can score really big. I'm going to shill for the site, even though they aren't paying me, which they should, in all fairness, for what I'm going to say, because even they have not yet thought to pitch their service in quite that way. So here goes:
1. I really don't think they're lying or bull$#*!ting - I got laid with benefits, man, by a cute, basically reserved, college student

2. The service is a cross between regular impersonal escort sites and those highly frustrating dating sites where you end up begging and pleading for a little bit of a**, and going round-and-round with this
Es in
3. To the guys who don't get callbacks after spending credits (I'm one of them too), that's where the "crap shoot" aspect of the service comes in - making it similar to regular dating sites with one big difference, your odds of scoring big w/o strings attached are almost infinitely better

4. Don't blame SB if you don't get callbacks - it's like a lottery - you keep buying lottery tickets, don't you, even though you keep getting stiffed. As they say in that business, YOU NEVER KNOW.

5. For guys whose basic interest is getting laid in a meaningful way by desirable females, It might help to think of the service as a SEXUAL LOTTERY, where "you pays you money and you takes you chances/choices". Boo hoo to those crybabies expecting more - do you go crying to the lottery companies calling them scammers, even though they regularly "scam" you out of gadzillions?

Tip for consumers:
View as a lottery with good odds and a good jackpot, but not a sure thing, as no lottery is.

Hi Dave, thanks for the great review, your check's in the mail ;) Seriously though, we are really glad you have enjoyed the site and stay tuned as we have plans in place that should make it like even less of a lottery.

Yes Secrets Benefits did try to contact me but as I only check that email account occasionally I read and replied to about a month later which they did not respond. But really they would have to change their business plan to resolve my issues.
After an arrangement with a lady that I met on Seeking ended suddenly I decided to give Secret Benefits another go so I purchased 200 credits (if you read my previous article that's effectively 20 actions) for $US89. I intially contacted 2 ladies who didn't respond so a day later I purchased a months membership with Seeking $US89. I used the same photo's and profile on both sites. On SB I received just over 50 messages replying to 16 of them. Which means I have 40 credits left or 4 actions) as I have not opened any hidden photo's. Six ladies responded but I only got into one conversation. I actually don't know if the others even read my messages because SB now charge you 10 credits (1 action) to allow you to see if the person you have opened a conversation with has read you messages. Along with the fact that any messages that are older than 28 days old are removed for "security purposes" I now have to reduce SB to 2 star.
I realise that a reader may be thinking its my approach. But.
After 10 days of my $US89 on month renewed membership on Seeking. Exact same Profile, Exact same initial message and language. I 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. And 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 is in the mid 2's.

Secret Benefits works but its a lot of work

• Previous review

I was an active member of Secret Benefits for 20 months. I am 61 and was pursuing mainly ladies under 30. My aim was to always seek a lady for an ongoing arrangement (both company and intimacy). Over the 20 month period I met 26 ladies an average of 2 and a half times (Estimate) - Mostly in the 18-27 age group but there were a couple in their 30's and one 43 year old. I'm told that the compensation I offer was probably the median maybe a touch lower.
So I was successful but its a lot of work.
Yes joining is free but you can't actually chat to anybody unless buy credits. I tended to buy 500 credits which cost $169 USD or about $250 Australian dollars. Everything you need to do (start a conversation or view somebodies secret photo's) cost 10 credits so every action cost $5.00. When you get down to 10 or 20 credits the site offers a bonus (twice as many) if you repurchase in 10min.
I have no doubt that the majority of Ladies were real and secret Benefits did their best to ensure this but whenever a lady viewed my profile they were encouraged to message me (and others) by a prompt. Its free for ladies to message which I totally understand but most of them had no idea that cost me money to initiate a conversation even if I was replying. So a significant number (probably about 80%) of my replies received a no reply. About 30% of them weren't even read.
It doesn't take long to churn through 500 credits - $250 for nothing. Checking through a profile can help but a lot of them are vague. Its a lot of work.
I tried also Ashley Madison - 0 out of 5.
A few ladies suggested I try Seeking.Com. This is not a review on Seeking so all I will say is that I had more conversations in 4 days than than 4 months on Secret Benefits.
A week ago I would have rated this a 4 out of 5 but after seeing the alternative its a 3.

This site scams you. Also if you leave a review and they can determine which SB account you have, they'll delete it.

You will encounter numerous SB accounts simultaneously viewing/admiring/requesting+granting gallery access/messaging you but when you spend credits to send them a nice reply to their short and generic message, you never hear back, even if your reply was only a minute after their message. Then these profiles will some days later again request private gallery access and grant access to their private gallery, while still not replying to your messages (because I write again after their gallery request). One person finally wrote back and said they had never sent the original message to me and had not logged into the site for some weeks (their last login info said they'd been visiting the site regularly).

I kept a second blank profile as a test (didn't add a picture, didn't fill out the stats). I even wrote a line about this profile not being in use and don't bother contacting me. It still got people admiring and messaging me, inc several people who'd also admired/messaged my main/complete profile.

When I complained to the site support, saying I felt scammed, they decided the best way to "fix" the problem was to deactivate my account. On the plus side they also refunded all the money I'd wasted which I really appreciated. I got my account back to finalise some unfinished conversations.

Now if I want to buy credits, I cannot. I had credit card payments disabled by Support and I get told I need to contact Support to pay with Bitcoin. I wrote to Support saying their help section still says we can use credit/debit cards. They responded saying they will update the help section but made no effort to allow me to buy credits with Bitcoin. If I create a new account on the same PC - still Bitcoin. If I change my IP address and create a new account on a different device, guess what? I can buy credits with my credit card.

I also noticed a large reduction in the number of people viewing/admiring/messaging/requesting gallery access.

I suspect some profiles are not legitimate as they seem to have the same headlines and I have never found a SD site before where most sugar ladies seem to only want "a helpful mentor" or "weekly dinner dates".

That said, there are a number of real people you will converse with. Just be thoughtful before deciding to buy credits as you'll waste the marjority of them trying to find a legitimate lady.

You're better off going to seeking.com. More cost effective; 1 flat all inclusive monthly fee rather than a fee for every little thing you want to do including blinking and breathing. You'll spend more money on Secret Benefits in 1 to 2 weeks than you would in a month on Seeking.

Tip for consumers:
Don't :)

If someone simultaneously admires, grants gallery access, requests gallery access, then sends you a message - probably a fake account.
