SugarDaddie.com

SugarDaddie.com claims to be the first online dating service of its kind, and it remains one of the best websites where rich men can hook up with beautiful women and vice versa. Members fall exclusively into one of only two possible categories: sugar daddies, i.e. financially wealthy, usually older men, or sugar babes i.e. younger, beautiful women who want to be indulged and taken care of by a rich man. For men, there is a salary requirement of $100,000 or more. For women, there is no salary requirement. Dating sites of this type, not surprisingly, attract a large number of women, and unlike most general dating services, SugarDaddie has far more female than male members. This means there can be a lot of competition between the ladies to gain the attention of their wealthy male targets! You can do a certain amount of browsing on the website without signing up. You can perform a search by country location in order to view the photos and brief descriptions of a maximum of 100 profiles. If you want to gain access to the full profiles of other members, you must create your own profile. You can do this for free. Once you’ve created a profile you’re allowed to search by specific country regions, e.g. by state if you are in the U.S. The basic free registration process is easy. You first choose a screen name and provide a valid email address, and then specify the type of relationship you are looking for. Then you will need to fill in a few pages of more detailed information about your physical type, job, ethnicity, and for the guys, salary and assets. Not all of these details are mandatory at this stage. As you work through the registration form, there are handy hints available to help you get your profile created and approved as quickly as possible. As soon as you’ve created your profile, you will receive a confirmation email in your account. Click on the link in the email to activate your account. Straight away you can start using the site. You can immediately start browsing profiles and checking out who’s currently online. However, until your profile is approved by the site moderators, it won’t be visible to others. This approval process is designed to keep the site free of inappropriate or invalid profile information. The basic free search facility on SugarDaddie.com is pretty straightforward – you enter your age range and whether you are looking for a sugar daddie or a sugar babe. There is a more detailed ‘matchmaking’ tool available, which lets you specify such criteria as the ethnicity, location and physical appearance of your dream date. Members who are online are listed first in the search results. You will generally find that the profiles are of good quality – well-written, detailed and featuring quality photos. You can create a hot list of your favourite members, but you can’t actually contact anyone until you upgrade to a premium membership. The premium membership costs $19.99 per month, but you get a discounted monthly rate when you sign up for multiple months. A yearly premium membership is $99. SugarDaddie, although relatively low-tech, is nonetheless elegant, slick and well laid-out. The ‘sugardaddie’ style of relationship may not be for everyone, but if it’s what you’re into, SugarDaddie.com offers a unique and classy window to the world of dating for the rich and beautiful.
