“Better than I could have expected”

Kilban B.

I admit that I spent a lot of time just looking at the women and considering options. Guess you can call me a tire kicker. Once I finally gathered myself and decided to get credits to message a beauty that grabbed my attention in particular I realized that this site was legit as we struck up a great convo and are currently dating on the reg.

“Underwhelming waste of money”

Lots of users and many contacts. All of whom seem to have ADD and so never reply past their initial contact. It's almost as if they're contacting you to get you to spend your credits (it's 10 credits to reply to a message or initiate contact) My biggest complaint however is that site administrators will edit your profile info if they don't like the tone. They even removed text from my profile because I said I didn't smoke and didn't want to match with those who do.

After my initial review about presence of bots, SB came back and explained the situation. So I am going to give them benefit of doubt and continue using the site. Will update this again later based on the outcome.

I found sb to be a well balanced date site. Modern with many women in my area. Not all respond to my outreach but the ones that do are pleasant and open to meeting and discussing what we both want. Haven't settled one anyone but having fun with the process

Not really

This hasn't been my first choice, but 2nd time giving SB a try, and I'm actually meeting women now.
This site is restoring my faith in finding someone special to share my very fortunate life with.

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.

Total scam. Took my $170 and deleted me the first day for unspecified violations of their rules. When I specifically asked them how I violated they didn't answer and said I would receive a refund in five to ten business days. But they charged my account the same day. And I didn't get my refund so I'm complaining to my credit card company.

I gotta Give a shout out to the SB support. Very fast response and it was clear that I was communicating with a real person that understood and sympathized with my situation. This is one of the things that makes a dating website like this one great👏🏻

I jumped on SB mostly out of curiosity to see if I would have better luck than I was with a couple other major dating sites I'm on. I understand I'm the "new girl" in my area right now, but I've been getting a lot of positive attention so far. I went on my first date from the site last weekend. Really nice guy, a bit older than I normally date, but he was really fun and generous. I agreed to see him again. Happy with how things are going so far.

I enrolled on SB, wrote a profile with my preferences such as women between 50-65, non-smoker, etc. Not one of the responses was from a supposed woman in this age group (almost all were in their 20s-30s -- I'm not interested in a woman young enough to be my daughter or granddaughter), about half or more were smokers, etc. It was as if the responders didn't read what I had written or were bots automatically responding to every new man on the site. I got off the site quickly, spent nothing, and was glad.

Tip for consumers:
I spent nothing, so there is no refund.

I am happy that I found this dating site. Really fair pricing to start chats with real beauties. Not all have worked out but on average I am doing alright with finding dates when I want to.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't let the convos drop because there are probably a lot of men messaging the same babe especially if she is hot.

I emailed Secret Benefits to share with them that couple of clients were posting false photos. I was a paying member and they just shut down my account and band me. What do honest people get punished for trying to help/aware to be stand up company!

Tip for consumers:
If they were a stand up company they would not take that kind of action on honest customers!

This is definitely a scam site. My guess is that the girls get paid a commission to up charge you. Example: They send you an email. You pay to read it and respond. They don't respond to your email. Instead they share their additional photos which you need to pay to see. But they never respond to the email.

Tip for consumers:
There are real sites out there. This is not one of them.

Wow, nice to meet guys for nsa hookup. All things are secret, that is crazy. Not like other dating apps, you need to avoid the offender or sexual assault.

You will receive short, ambiguous, bot generated messages from fake users. You must pay to open the messages.
When you pay and respond you don't get a reply.
Sucked into a waste of money...

How can I take my profile down or hide it is my question now.

Yeah most definitely bots here, I'm a fan of most Credit systems in general however on this site it seems that you get tons of interest from girls who favorite you, give you access to their private pictures and message you, then seem to ghost you after you unlock the messaging portion. I honestly would not bother. Secret benefits was nice enough to refund me and provide additional credits, I did get marginal success with more credits so there are some real girls out there!

Just don’t

This site is hilarous. I really don't think I've encountered a site so full of scams in my life. It's just so blatantly bad… and as for the reviews, I mean come on, who's writes this nonsense.

Gave it a try. Only 1 out of 10 had a meaningful message exchange, other presumably bots just shoot a message, but if you respond with whatever witty or funny stuff, they never come back.
Don't waste your money and time.

As other critical reviews have mentioned, you get many messages from women, but most of them are generic, and few last more than one or two exchanges.

I receive tons of admirers, and my inbox regularly receives messages, but as soon as I open them, they ghost after a brief exchange if that. Mind you, these "women" reached out to me. I didn't contact them. They don't even respond to a simple greeting. One would think they'd at least be interested in an offer--it would cost them nothing. Not at all. Contact and ghost.

Every action costs 10 credits. That includes opening a message, sending a message to a profile you haven't contacted before, unlocking secret photos, "boosting" a message to supposedly increase its visibility, and checking if a message has been read. These credits add up quickly. I'm talking hundreds of dollars. Once you're down to your last 20 credits or so, the site offers you double what you would normally get with a given package (the highest being 1000 credits for $289, or 2000 if you take the "deal"). It's just a sleazy tactic to keep you running on the hamster wheel.

After consuming a few thousand credits and several months on the site, I've been on two dates, and arranged three that never materialized due to flakiness.

I'm a guy in my early 30s. Good shape. Good money. Plenty of hair. No grey. A number of women have asked me why I'm even bothering with SB instead of using a regular dating site, including both of my real dates. The point is that my "competition" is weak in comparison. Nevertheless, the results have been extremely disappointing. If it were just a personal shortcoming, I could accept that, but the behavior of these "women" makes no sense at all. I figure many of them are fakes, but I also suspect that SB deliberately manipulates the communication behind the scenes. It might throttle your messages to real profiles and send messages to you from real profiles (without their knowledge) to keep you spending more money. Absolutely ridiculous.

Why this site is rated a 4 is beyond me. The ROI is terrible. Do not waste your time here.

Tip for consumers:
Everything costs credits. It adds up quickly. You get lots of messages, but few lead anywhere. Look elsewhere.
