“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!

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

Tip for consumers:
Weed out the flakes and loons and u should find some quality women.

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.

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.

Secret B. – Secret Benefits Rep

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.

Step up from my last attempt at online dating. Clearly more direct and the men here are much more set on getting offline as soon as possible and meeting in person. It's a breath of fresh of air from the lookielou time wasters I had run into most my life.

I like the site. The first plus for me is it's free and easy to use. I also have enough men in my area to choose from for now (wouldn't mind more of course). I haven't really fallen into the "lifestyle" but getting spoiled on dates is pretty awesome. I prefer to casually see guys when I find the time, so being a hot date for a few good men suits me perfectly.

I've tried this and SA and both are free for girls so nothing to lose. I think SA got too popular and I stopped using it because the guys got more and more vulgar. That might happen in time with SB but not yet. Worth signing up for girls

Doesn't work. Same complaints as others. I respond to a message, don't get a response and the Er Er person doesn't even read my response. Spoke with customer service. They were very accommodating. Very quick response from them. I'm pleased.

I really like using this site. The guys are talkative and open. I get a lot of messages and most guys have been well behaved. Going out is complicated because of social distancing, masks, etc. Otherwise a great date site.

First of all %80 of users on the site are men so think about that. Second it is one of the most expensive sites out there. You have to pay at a minimum $3.00 per person to message. Strangely enough tons of women message you but you can't read the messages or respond until you pay. After you pay and respond to the messages you never get a response back again. It's obviously a scam to get you to pay more money. For the price of 10 messages you can pay a flat monthly fee on another site which gives you unlimited messaging. Also the search and filter functions are better on other sites. Don't waste your money.

I’m very sorry to hear you haven’t enjoyed your experience on Secret Benefits.

I've asked Customer Service to get into contact with you to see if they can help.

As a new user to the site, please keep in mind that sometimes people can take a few days to reply to their messages, hopefully you’ll receive replies from more women in the coming days if you haven’t already. People do get busy with their lives off the site and don’t always check in every day, especially over the holidays which is when your review was submitted, so it’s worth giving it a chance.

Again, sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your experience,.

My initial worry was it was going to be lame with an imbalance of women to men, but I have been actually having a great time meeting successful and mature men.
The site itself operates flawlessly and tons of profiles to flirt with. Many funny and clever responses and I've vetted several to meet for regular dates. Not a dull weekend, haha.

Around 2 weeks after joining the site, my membership was cancelled. Someone by the name of "Adrian" emailed me, saying that I violated their terms. 3 times, I asked which terms I had violated given that my profile did not break any of the rules that are provided on their site. They failed to tell me which rule/term I violated. I paid a lot of money only to have my membership terminated without cause.

I've tried out SA and SugarDaddieMeet, and so far, I feel like SB is overall the best sugar daddy dating websites. My experience has been this site has less creepy guys that seem more genuine, from the ones I've met at least. I have a hunch that there are a good handful of married men on here, but they are on every site. I'm not stoked on the lack of wealth verification for the guys because it makes it really hard to tell if these guys are legit sugar daddies. I'm a single mom, yet I don't reveal that on my profile, so who I'm looking for is kind of specific. I've had several nice dates so far, and I think a couple of them are really good contenders. I recommend giving this site a try if you are considering it.

Thanks for reviewing and recommending Secret Benefits Emma. It seems the request for wealth verification is a common request and we'll look at that again and see if there's a way to do that which is actually useful. In the meantime, don't afraid to ask lots of questions and get to know each other a bit before you meet up as that's always the best way to weed out the pretenders.

Don't be mistaken, this is a totally legit dating website. The guy's are looking for a desirable lady and gals like me are looking for someone that enjoys making a woman smile. I made the decision to really spend some time on my profile and it's made all the difference with the quality of guys contacting me, so from my experience, Secret Benefits has provided the platform, but it's really been what I've made of it to work in my favor. It's really encouraging to me that I can be up front with what I desire and need from a relationship.

Yes, Secret Benefits is an out of the ordinary site to meet men compared to a site like Tinder or Bumble, but what I personally have found here are men who seriously want to meet and are eager to impress. They may not all be super handsome or young but they make up for it with charm and class.

So, first I would say that out of the sites I've tried to meet a TRUE gentleman that will treat me with respect and enjoys taking care of me, this site has delivered. There are guys to choose from, and SB seems to attract a slightly different crowd. In case you are new to sugar dating just keep in mind, I would say 99% of the sugar daddies on the site are not looking for a "forever ever after." I was regularly seeing a guy I met on SB for like almost 6 months, and just like that, he was gone. If you are used to bad breakups or sweet goodbyes you might be surprised. Most of these guys are too busy for the standard relationship. Anyways, I jumped back on the site last week, sent a few messages, and I'm right back in the game. I would recommend to those looking for a straight-up sugar daddy dating site where you might stand out in a smaller crowd compared to some of the older crowded sites.

I've had my account for a little while now with no issues and all of a sudden my pictures will not show on my profile. I contacted support about four times and no reply, this issues lowers my chance to actually meet someone. I tried to deactivate and reactivate my profile in hopes my pictures would show and nothing. I now have a disclaimer in my bio, how cute. There are too many people complaining about support not responding, someone needs to address this.

They charged me and then blocked my account saying it was disputed. I talked to my bank and their payment processor, segpay. Segpay said that neither they nor my bank disputed the charge and it was secret benefits that was causing the issue. Secret benefits has horrible customer service and will hard to talk to. They still have my money as I have not been refunded like they said.
