Secret Benefits Review May 2019: Money Pit or Erotic Dates?

Last updated: March 2019

Our Review

Secret Benefits is a website catering to men and women looking for "Sugar Daddy-Sugar Baby" arrangements. The Sugar Daddy acts as the generous spender in this relationship on a younger woman in exchange for a date or two. People who believe that these relationships work come to sites like Secret Benefits, where straightforward services that can facilitate such connections are offered.

The site claims that it has millions of generous, mature men and attractive women who find each other and start honest relationships. Unlike other sites, it means to remove the stigma around Sugar Baby-Sugar Daddy relationships and encourages a dating community without nudity while upholding that belief. Relationships that started inside the site are supposedly honest, and despite having material things involved, it promises that finding true love among the members is possible.

Is Secret Benefits' vision a reality, or just a ploy to create an edge and set itself apart from other similar dating sites? Find out about this and more in this review.

Real Life Review

I am having a great time dating on this website so far. When I am in the mood, I search for a man who seems decent judging from the words he uses in his profile. I mostly get replies from men, and we manage to arrange something like a coffee date or dinner. About 80% of the time, I am happy with the people I met in SecretBenefits. Of course, there have been a couple of creeps, but I ask to cut the meeting short and politely excuse myself whenever that happens. I like the site in general especially the message feature. There are good men here who have been respectful so far, and that's what I am looking for. This is fun. I totally recommend giving it a try. - Joline, 23, University Student

Sending a message is also very guided especially that it is a premium feature.
